These new changes are basically just closing the gap between low realm-ranks and higher realm-ranks?

Seems that way, if there really is no difference in points to use in the end...

I am not sure if these changes will be good, Reavers and Necros come to mind... reason I say this is I have witnessed FG's, or close to it, of Mids rockin' on guardian necros/reavers before for Epic-long fights which imo, we can all do w/out (in the stealther-world the longer you're exposed = more of a chance that you're going to get ganked)...

But, if we're trying to keep the balance here, then there's no reason RR 1 characters should be able to pummel RR5+ characters, (which btw is the current state of the game in some cases)

I mean why not just give people more exp. while they're trying to get to level 50 if the intention is to keep fresh-blood happy?

On a positive note, I am happy to see some of the recent changes such as re-vamp on loot in several zones, scales, glass, BP's for ML's, and I cant believe I am saying this but, we're even seeing some Balance changes! (Any1 know what the temp. is in hell? )

Keep up the good work!

P.S. The last thing you wanna do is tick-off the remaining player-base (which logistically tells us that those are higher RR folks...)

Additionally we do not intend to implement anything which will diminish the play experience of Ywain or Glamorgan



Unfortunate as I would love an Origins server but this pretty much answers it. I think we can all understand why they feel this way. Sometimes the risk does not outweigh the potential reward.

Let me mention Glamorgan once more.

What Glamorgan players want is not a multilingual server, what we really want (and what is needed in order to keep DAoC/EU alive) is a well populated server which allows us enjoying dark age of camelot RvR.
Currently Glamorgan RvR is just like that: New Frontiers is basically empty, occasionally some hardcore (NPC-) raiders are raiding emtpy keeps. Thats it, and thats boring.

I wonder what happened if mythic just enabled freexfer in both directions, Ywain -> Glamorgan and Glamorgan -> Ywain. This might result in two well populated (bot not overpopulated) servers.

I think Mythic is kind of stucked with the idea of a multilingual server (which imho is a waste of time since most europeans understand english quite well)

Maybe Adam or Andy do have some spare time reconsiderung the situation (or whoever is responsible for questions like mine)

Let me mention this once more. This thread is about the RA's and nothing else. Mythic have been patient with answering questions not relating to RA's, don't abuse it.

Any further off topic replies will be removed.

Greetings,

I wanted to make a few simple clarifications for the RA Revamp that will be coming live quite soon.


Our goal was to enhance the system that already exists, making it easier for low RR characters to get a few more precious abilities needed to compete, as well as give the higher RR characters more flexibility and customization of their character. If your character is where you want it to be now, you can spend the exact same amount of RP's and get the exact same level of benefits from your RA's, no dramatic, and in reality (More levels yes but) no change has been made to the RA's. . . . .

I like the adjustments to RAs. It should be a fairly easy change and it should accomplish the goal of giving low RRs quicker access to necessary RAs. It is good to see some effort being put toward minimizing the min/max challenge for noobs.

. . . . I hope that gives some clarification. I'm asking that you wait and hold questions about specific RA's and values until the patch notes come out. They will be out very soon, and all the information you need will be in them. If there are any other questions however, I would love to answer them.

“any other questions. . . I would love to answer them” If you are serious about that then thank you for the offer because I have many questions (things I would find very interesting to discuss), perhaps on another day on different thread. (rain check if that would be possible)
