This argument for teleport timers always cracks me up.

I play this game to "chat it up" and to random things for fun. I only participate in realm versus realm for my realms, there is no fun in that, only HONOR, DUTY AND GLORY.

the thing is... with /rp off it would not take so long until there are guild FG's in every BG.

So the only real reason most people have fun in the bg's, that there are mostly random enemys and seldome good fg's (and even if, they don't stay long), will be gone.
There would be more random enemys in end rvr if all the BG campers would join end rvr. Maybe the BG campers would then enjoy end rvr.
But on the other hand giving BG's a long term motivation would only draw endgame players into the BG... and the BG campers would not like that

So believe me, you don't want /rp off

It's as simple as that
But still port timers suck, as I just noticed now after hitting lvl 50. My playtime nowadays says I'm a casual and I dont wanna chance this. Since I ran in a really nice / ( ass kick ) guildgrp back in the days when OF was running I still have a good overview about RvR I think
During this time I didnt care about port timers, but now with better things to do than waiting for an inc in Odins 30min and getting pwnd by 5 min purge, sos brainless ra droping or FG that chase you over 2 maps as a duo I really wanna have NF back with a better time / action ratio

That's because battlegrounds are fun and frontiers are not. 3 big zones + flawed single route/chokepoint design + pointless waiting on porting timer or sh*tloads of running EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU DIE. Everybody's saying how people would stay in bgs but nobody is saying why wtb agramon back.

So endgame rvr sucks for some players and might need a fix.

Ok then give rp off so they can have fun in bgs?

Sounds like a good idea

All you want is easymode rvr with your rr caped and sced toon in bg to farm noobs.

Won't do any good to Uthgard and luckily it will never come.

Better work on getting all players into endgame rvr than making bgs more attractive. We need some things to do for solos/small groups/pugs and get all the rr 4l2-4l4 toons active. We don't need thousands of lvl35 2l1 toons...

And like someone said, daoc is about evolving and maxing your toons.

Which one? The other games take time to get to action, or what to do with the time you have? I admit I would be pretty frustrated too if constant action is all that would satisfy me and I wasn't getting it. But I manage to take things for what they are, so I'm a lucky one.

I play games to enjoy myself. RvR is thoroughly enjoying. I also enjoy the down times where there isn't RvR because there is the opportunity to. If you don't take advantage of that opportunity, and then complain about it, that is your choice.


For being so dedicated to a freeshard game that was originally developed a decade ago, you all seem pretty hellbent on killing it. If you all don't realize that /rp off would kill the game, I'm sorry. Wanting end-game to change is one thing, but /rp off kills the game completely.

The one where you claim sitting on a pad like an idiot not doing anything is excusable because you can socialize with people. INSTANT ACTION? Do you realize that most times you have to run around for 5-10 minutes to find anything (if there is anything out there at all-_-)? People play this game for the RvR, not because they like to sit on a pad and socialize. If you want to roleplay and "socialize" with people I suggest you find another game, daoc RP servers are dead. Oh and if it takes you a couple of minutes to load a CoD map then you need a new PC.

How is it farming if your RR and XP is capped? HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGH

I know, common sense. Mindblowing isn't it?
I don't want /rp off tho, I want less timesinks, and ideally a better map (NF).

farming=killing noobs without sc/resists/perfect setups -> easymode rvr, it's not all about rps

That's called griefing, not farming. In order to farm you have to have some kind of profit.

For example, people who make full groups to kill soloers/smallman groups at offpeak hours for easy rps, that's farming.

Oh man, I wish they implement /rp off. I could farm MAD money in them bg's.

Mo' monee.

Watched paint dry the other day, it seemed familiar in some way.

Try any instant50 freeshard out there. You'll come crawling back to Uthgard in no time.
Instant action won't make you happy, I assure you that.

It will make him, me or anyone else who likes rvr happier than pointless waiting or running, I assure you that.
