1.70 O : New Battlegrounds Without Realmpoints Cap!

[Flimgoblin]

assuming there's enough enemies around you could theoretically get to level 45 through BG rvr

 

[DavidH]

That would be a good thing. Another alternative to regular exping.

Let us very much hope that. Although I've done PL'ing in Modernagrav, I would much rather prefer doing some fun in a BG and level my new toon that way. Go go new battlegrounds!

 

[Ormorof]

well to be honest if there had been no RP cap to start with i would have just suicided my first SB 100000000000000000000000 times to stay in BG

 

[Munkyman OFC]

Its going to make the bgs spread so will only be soloers in each bg. ie only stealther. not good for grp friendly classes.

not realy... more ppl will trye this.. atleast the 1-4 one ^^

bored? take 10 mins and lvl a char 1-4, then go pwn some in BGs ^^

 

[Munkyman OFC]

1-4's gona be a novalty when it comes out, then will die along with all the others.

 

[Coren]

elementalists get a root dont they?

fighters are so flavour of the month

Nah ice root is at 5 I think - closest thing to CC will be the necro's 12 second snare (actually fairly uber as its unbreakable afaik). Still no way in hell a level 4 caster can kill anything imo though, you'll run out of mana long before you take down a Viking/Guardian- though disciples will have mana xfer I think so maybe disciple/elementalist duos will be fotm.

 

[Elendar]

v fast mana regen at lvl 4 though

 

[Coren]

Not as fast as a un-CCed melee class runs.

And OMG - nerf mids tbh, Mystic classes will have ub3r 9 (NINE) second root at level 3!!!!11111111 Such OPness uke: /me rerolls.

 

[Thegreatest]

1 Minor Mesmerization 16 sec 2 PP

//edit

nerf sorcs don't get the mind line till lvl 5

 

[Munkyman OFC]

Update

Battlegrounds

- Teleportation into a battleground will not check for a realm point cap for players to gain admittance into that battleground. This is a clarification to the patch note in version 1.70o.

- Players will not earn realm points in the first three battlegrounds - Proving Grounds, The Lions Den, and The Hills of Claret. (Please note that Proving Grounds and The Lions Den are still unavailable for testing at this time)

- Players will be able to earn realm points in each of the remaining battlegrounds, however, there will be a limit to the number of realm points players can earn in each battleground. After they have reached this limit, killing other enemy players will not grant any more realm points (players will still be able to participate in that battleground until they exceed the level cap). The realm point limits for the battlegrounds are as follows:

Realm Rank 1 Level 3 - Killaloe
Realm Rank 1 Level 4 - Thidranki
Realm Rank 1 Level 6 - Braemar
Realm Rank 2 Level 0 - Wilton
Realm Rank 2 Level 5 - Molvik
Realm Rank 3 Level 0 - Leirvik

- Players who log out in a battleground not designed for their level will be placed in the appropriate border keep.


So no rp after you hit the cap, though you will still be able to participate.

Sounds good to me.

Baseline snare is breakable for necros - unbreakable one is in spec painworking and u dont get spec stuff til lvl 5. Power transfer and drain also spec so u cant get them.

 

[Coren]

arf.

 

[Lejemorder]

----------------
- Facilitate Painworking (the Necromancer quickcast spell) now works identically to other list casters' Quickcast ability. Previously it had a very small chance of failure when fighting higher level opponents.

-----------------------------------

does that mean necros lose there 6 sec moc every 30 sec and get 1 single cast? or does that mean it no longer possible to "fail" fp even if u do it right (often tried where the pet start casting but dont cast fp)?

 

[old.Whoodoo]

Sounds like it. Time to abandon my necro I do beleive, this will make it a less viable class than ever before.

 

[NetNifty]

According to Necro VN forums (where the TL posts) it just means its no longer possible to fail FP even if you do it right (against high lvl mobs at least anyway).

um so as soon as you hit FP the next spell you press will automaticly cast even if your pet is swinging?

 

[Vladamir]

It's cast on the next swing, instead of a melee hit.

um like it does now

 

[NetNifty]

Yes exactly like now, only thing it changes it that sometimes a spell that a necro uses FP to cast could be interrupted against high level mobs, this removes that chance.

time to get back once 1.70 is here and be in the battlegrounds permanently




hmm, just hope the exp you get for a kill wont be too much. Read something that you get 0.85 bulb at the moment at level 14. :touch:

 

[Thegreatest]

For a solo kill thats worth full reward (4 rps + exp) you'll get around 0.1 bub in thidranki.

You can of course just suicide a few times to lose xp.

 

[Ethiraseth]

hmm, so 100 kills before you are out of thidranki, thats not too bad, especially if you suicide a few times.

 

[Balbor]

FP is also effected by the pets attack speed, if your pet is QUI debuffed or attack speed debuffed then FP will fail if the swing time goes over 6 secs.

against high level tanks FP is very hard to get off.

 

[Balbor]

with all the changes in the patch you found no RP cap on BGs the best thing so you can use your SC temp alts to spoil the fun of those people that don't have high level characters.

 

[Hamro]

actualyl mages will own in 1- bg ranged spells will kill anything now that theres no speed and they do similar dmg to tanks at lvl 4..
