It's stealther playground probably... they should put some "scout" type mobs patrolling around those areas to prevent the stealth zergs camping it without much risk..

Updated the Herald with a Hot Fix note, but the issue should be addressed now.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

^ Someone died in an RvR zone.


This is one of the best events Mythic has ever implemented that brings a fresh new breath of life into the NF every time they run it. Only the Doppelgangers topped this, and were all around a better design since they had multiple spawn points that kept FGs/Zergs on the move rather then camping one spot for too long.


Compared to guarding the bridge relic, in this scenario you're guarding a valuable/precious resource and denying the enemy access too it. Awesome design, and we need far MORE of this then less. This also keeps the items from the quest a little more valuable.


Of course for the lazy <ToS> Mythic needs to just go ahead and implement a "/GiveMeItemXNOW!! <item>" command.

Good event indeed.. just could use some minor tweaks to get rid of the cheese factor..

- make patches give credit if you run over them... fixes the issue where people dump everything they can find over the patch to make it unclickable. (rams, CTs, 1001 storms, ...)

- move some of the patches to be out of damage range from a safe spot (arv patch, glen patch, ren patch).. nothing like getting hit by XXXX people from a tower with spreadhealing bots inside... that's not RvR.. RvR should entail a risk for both sides.

- add a couple of patrolling scout mobs around the patch, to prevent stealth zergs camping it.

Doppelgangers and the Pumpkin Patch quests were designed and implemented to promote activity on low population servers (pre-ywain). As we all know, the population isn't exactly low anymore. The intent was to get players to move around the map in hopes of generating battles. I do not recall the patches being camped to the magnitude I've seen this week. Stealthers camping these patches is to be expected, but some of what I've seen is just idiotic. Mids having 20 storms, CTs, traps and pbae'rs spamming while standing on top of the patch. Albs, same story.


I highly doubt Mythic intended for 3-4 grps of players to stand stationary in one spot for hours on end only to be fed rps. For the simple fact that almost every patch I've been to, except the Hib ones, has been a suicide run. I gave up trying to finish it on my visi's. This is not exactly my idea of promoting RvR battles.


If they would move the patches away from towers and keeps that would be a nice place to start.
