How about sorting it out so all 3 realms hold all their own keeps when the patch day comes? this way we can at least have some rvr in the dungeon straight away :)

really like the idea, but I fear it won't happen. I am sure out of all the Excal population 16 or so jojo's will go raid a keep first chance they see fit, no matter how the rest of the server thinks / feels

Cool are all the gates open if there is keep balanse? That would be fun indeed. Let's keep them balanced dudes, could proven to be fun :)

Or even better let's kick "The Worm" with all 3 realms :)

does it work like that or is it only one can be open at a time therefor a keep has to be taken? before any gate to DF opens

If all realms have an equal amount of keeps DF is open to no-one.

One realm needs to hold more keeps then the others to gain access.

When the server opens or reboots, all realms portals are closed (corrected, I thought they were initially open). As soon as one realm has more territory than the others, that realm's portal opens.

After that, the three realms portals are never all closed simultaneously again until the next server reset. If the keeps are all recaptured, then the currently open portal stays open until another realm captures a keep and their portal opens.

Eg. Server boots, all portals are closed.
Albs take Crauch, Alb portal opens.
Hibs retake Crauch
Hibs take Benowyc, Alb portal closes, Hib portal opens.

like that

Like the battlegrounds, you can stay in DF as long as you don't release, so there can be groups from all three realms in there. The architecture of the dungeon has been designed with RvR in mind - lots of nasty spots for ambushes and sneaking around.

Bah, just started a char on hib for test, went to spear relic where the portal is and couldnt get in coz albs have more keeps :(

Anyone know whether there is a minimum level to go into DF>?

Thing is I havnt got a clue where im going in Albion and dont know where the portal is for DF.

I think there are parts of the dungeon which cannot be accessed by other realms.

What happens is I log inside DF and when I come back midgard no longer got most keeps?

Will I be ported out the moment I log in?

You stay inside DF until you release, or until you leave. If you log off inside DF, you will log back on inside DF.

Hmmmm Alrindel - I check The Herald sometimes and when realms are tied with the nr of occupied keeps it reads as follows :

Darkness Falls is currently open to no one

Just did a quick check and currently this is the case in Gawaine - all 3 realms occupy an equal nr of keeps there (Albion has 2 middie keeps, while middies have 2 Albion ones).

Ah, I just checked the Herald and I was wrong about one part - when the server reboots, if all realms are tied for territory then all portals are CLOSED, not open.

However the rest of what I said was correct, that is if some keeps go back and forth and the realms are tied again, then at least one portal stays open.

Relevant section on the Herald here: http://www.camelotherald.com/more/297.php
The customer service team lead on duty right now asked me to clarify the entrance rules for everybody:

1) Server comes up.
2) Whoever has the most keeps finds their portal open.
3) If there was a tie score for most keeps (two or three way tie), nobody finds the portal open.
4) If someone breaks the tie, the team with the most keeps opens the portal.
5) If the situation returns to a tie score, the portal does not close - whoever had been winning still keeps the portal.
6) If the server resets, go back to the beginning of this list. A server reset means a tie score is a tie score - the game does not remember from reboot to reboot which realm had been winning before the return to tied status. Or, to put it another way, once a portal is open, it stays open although ownership may change. The server shutting down closes the portal, and it has to be opened again.
So Aeiedil's original idea wouldn't work. If we balanced the realm just before the patch, then the portals would all be closed, not open. However we would still get some frantic instant RvR... to capture a keep and be the first to open a portal. :)

DF is gonna make RvR more fun...

But you can just wait for the "You XP killed me in DF" whine threads :rolleyes:

The fun thing is, every realm will get his chance to enter DF (even the 'weak' realm)... Although the weak realm will have the hardest time getting in...

Realm #1, captures a lot of keeps, massively enters DF.
Realm #2, captures the now undefended keeps, massively enters DF.
Realm #3, get their arse into gear before Realm #1 gets wiped.

It'll probably happen that the two strongest realms will have access though... But if the weaker realm plans it just right, they too should be able to get their share ;)

Expect the Brethren to setup camp in DF though ;)

when server reset df gets close. ex. when alb take 1 keep from hibernia. alb will gain control of df. hiberna take there keep back. alb have control of df. hiberna take a alb keep. hiberna gets control of df and alb doesn't. but if alb ppl are still in df they will remain there and there can be fighting. then server reset and it is closed for everyone, but still if anyone had logged in df, they will still be there.

Didn't bother do read your post so i wrote something instaid that is correct. someone has prolly said this already but i do it again

Why can't they keep the gates open for all realms for a while. For test purposes?
