Frontiers info (RVR expansion)

[xplo]

http://camelotvault.ign.com/table/issue1.shtml

Unquestionably, the most important next step for Dark Age of Camelot is our long-anticipated Realm vs. Realm combat system overhaul, currently code-named "Frontiers". This free expansion will change the face of RvR for the Camelot player by revising the geographical layout of the frontier zones to make them more strategically significant and balanced amongst the three Realms.

Along with the Frontiers geographical changes comes a more compelling keep bonus system, a better keep upgrade system, structures smaller than keeps that can be claimed by guilds, and a revised Realm Ability system . We'll be releasing more information this winter, and of course this information may change due to future testing and design reviews.

Finally some PvP changes for us in the year 2005 ;d

yeah, because they make enemies do 3 damage on us or give us pretty much total immunity to cc!

How so?

 

[mavericky]

I cant wait for the RvR expansion, hope it is worth the wait

 

[old.windforce]

can we have infil whine now?


healer, savage, zerg blablabla

GO AWAY


/end

Hmm,

I would be a bit dissapointed if RvR expension would mainly consist reworking the frontiers. I would like a 8 vs 8 battle arena.

 

[legaoniel.old]

RvR?

I hate to piss on everyone's bonfire, but if you follow the Herald pages and see the number of problems TOA has given them since release I think you'd agree it'll be a bit of a wait before they are able to bring in anything new - and then the inevitable wait for it to be translated over here means I wouldn't be getting excited anytime soon...

 

[inqy]

aye realistically we are looking at summer 2004 for frontiers maybe later! :/

 

[Flimgoblin]

klav's just strange and thinks the mythic patching strategy is:

Fix UI thing
Nerf Midgard class
nerf Midgard in general
nerf another midgard class
boost alb
boost hib

like your average joe-VN whiner...

 

[SilverHood]

Flim, prove it otherwise....

That's kinda hard for Midgard, seeing as trolls are an indiginous species, and I don't think they would take kindly to being told to leave. Besides, where should we send them? Albion? Hibernia?

 

[iceflower]

>like your average joe-VN whiner...

Lets see, what difference is there between the Joe-VN whiner and the Jack-BW whiner?

I have a bad feeling about the frontiers. I truly hope they will increase the rvr options, ie game types, and not just end up with the same plain Jane deathmatching as we have now, sprinkled with a small dose of capture the flag. I wish they dared to actually put the realm war into the game instead of relying on old FPS game models only.

[[Oo]Escape]

I was expecting a complete RvR facelift - to finally balance the game.... instead we get to see Mythic employ some noob QuakeIII mapper to redesign the landscape.... :x

RvR doesn't need much changing:
Cap resists at 40% for RvR
Give casters better abs buffs
Give the Healer Pac-line to Runemasters (buwhahahaaa)
Raise dps on mercs/BM to compete with savages
Give sorcerers studded armour and Determination5 Oo
