In addition to what Pin and Flimgoblin said the snowdonia power relic keep is also not on a hill, but the distance thing was more the issue

 

[Kagato.]

Balance is nice, but really, the frontiers are almost identical to each other now, the exact same features in the exact same layout, just at a different angle.

How dull.


And now solo will be pretty much impossible, theres no safe zone or areas without guard patrols so far as I can see, without stealth solo and non-full groups wont have a chance anymore, heck the RvR dungeos are now safely tucked behind 2 triple-milegates near the relics, which I doubt will see much action at times other then relic raids.

The frontiers look nice but designed for the sole purpose of very large scale war fare which we already know and have proven many times already recently, that our servers cannot handle. fg vs fg will be slower now due to increased guard interferance I think, and solo impossible.

Always the optimist, right Kagato?

login in now to take the time, horse from svas -> vinds, run to grallar.

09:48:29



so just about 10mins, from the middle of svasud till ported inside grallar. Straight line running from yggdra->grallar.

bit unfair on the albs, they dont even know their way around the current Alb frontier, how do they expect them to start to learn a brand new one

Looks good

1.65 destroyed what little optimism I had left for this game.

1) Through the frontier
alb: 15:38 using hasteners... 9:33 using minstrel speed

2) Through the homeland (horsies)
alb: 12:13 using hastener... 10:26 using minstrel speed.

3) Via housing zone (2 ports would be the same for everyone, ~2-12 mins)
alb: port time + 4:57 using hastener... port time + 3:12 using minstrel speed



So.. using horses and snodonia hastener, alb was 2.5 mins longer than mid.... care to time the other routes?

No wonder you rolled Alb on Pryd

Everything Mythic is doing is gearing towards more 'Zerg' fights and less 'FG vs FG' fights....... so I wouldn't count on it.

They've also mentioned that they intend to introduce much more 'customability' for Keeps and Siege warfare - wouldn't be too surprised if Frontiers RvR is very Keep / location based

ye, i would fit in so well with my mad nav-skills ^^

 

[old.Ramas]

The real Myrrdin problems are

1) Odds of detecting an incoming zerg or log on to Myrridin are lower than the other keeps.

2) Myrrdin is backed into a corner, meaning that the natural approach for defenders is the same as the natural place attackers will be standing, and it's easier to blockade as a result.

3) Snowdonia aggro is a pain in the ass for incoming defenders.

The extra few minutes theoretical travel time is a problem of course (and is probably worth about half a door), but not the real killer imo.

The number one question in our New Frontiers feedback file is "Will you reset relics when the expansion launches?" Under normal circumstances, we never do relic resets, but for the launch of the expansion, it is important that all Realms start out on a level playing field - so the answer is yes.



Tihihi, hibs get their Strentgh Relic back after 2 years and 272872 Spider Webs in Dun Lamfhota ( can't even remember the name of this Relic Keep )
