m00 this does suck. Whats the eta for the patch that implements these changes in Europe? Looks like George Bush is not the only incomprehensibly stupid thing the Americans have voted for that we are going to suffer from ;<
I dont know how far GOA can deviate from the mythic patches, but would there be any chance of an individual euro poll on this, like the ones for the classic servers?

 

[Avokz]

they (US DAOC) made a few polls on what they should work on. Apperantly the players voted for RVR changes and class changes... As u can see, they screwed it up. But i doubt they will change it for euro servers, coz the classic servers for example are play-/patchwise the same. The polls concentrated on language and interest. So im assuming there is no way avoiding the coming patch...

eta ? well, DR - 1.80 is supposed to come February, so i assume march or smt... dno really

maybe soloers will have the chance becoming high RR's now aswell. Nowadays is the only option to run in an opted group or have alot of time to solo. Everyone doesnt wanna run in a full group killing others, so im positive to this.

 

[Achilles]

I see. Thanks Avokz.

 

[Avokz]

welcome

 

[Cloudz]

Dont like the sound of this new rp system :<

 

[eggy]

Truly, utterly shite.

soloing doesnt stop you making RPs as a soloer i think its retarded that i will get more than the 600-1k RPs per kill i get now. ofc it will be nice to get RRs quicker but they wont mean as much as they do now.

 

[Vodkafairy]

shame the "have fun getting your 6 rps per kill" diss won't work anymore now.

 

[Ashala]

if anything they should actually make it so the person / grp hitting / killing the person first should get the rp's alone and no one else, would encourage people not to add so we could be free for the endless FAO spam of people comming to FH to complain about endless add on there fights

 

[Ogen]

Sounds shit.

Its not many kills that rewards you 600+ rps since everyone is leeching nowadays or you will get killed by full groups all the time.

 

[Profion]

This sucks, rr10+ is something that you deserve nothing you get for free.

 

[Heta]

/cry /cry /cry 2 u all imo

 

[Melachi]

Hmm, have to admit I think its kinda good personally. Sure its a bummer for those who earnt alot of Rp's before this, but its better for the game imo, a new char whos not in an RvR guild, faces opponents who are rr7+ mostly these days. Back in SI days, I remeber dinging rr5 being considered high :O

And to be fair, alot of you are happy with the new 1.81 artifact system, when people who like to PvE more, could easily say this RP change is the equivilant.

 

[Gazon]

What's this obsession with having to have more rp than the other guy?

I thought the l33t didn't play for rp?? They play for fun man!

It can't be true... I feel so betrayed

 

[Lejemorder]

This is overkill but a guildys rr2 heretic got 6700 rps soloing a rr11 shadowblade ml10/cl5

i call that bs, not even a level 1 killing a rr11 ml10/cl5 will get that many rps

 

[Ballard]

Been playing under it for two nights now. At first I was a bit apprehensive but now I've realised all they have done is moved the goalposts. In terms of achievement old rr10 = new rr11 and old rr11 = new rr12 etc. There will be alot of people in the rr7-9 bracket but the higher Realm ranks will still be an achievement.

Casual players still arent going to be getting rr10+ etc but it will help them get to rr6-7 where at least they will be able to compete on a realitively equal footing.

 

[papaboo]

O-ho.. sounds like im going to roll a hunter with max rapid fire then. Free rps of rox!

On a second thought.. nah! this game has really turned into something really, really boring. How much soup can they cook on what once was a great game?.. rr13, Champion levels, master levels.. zzzzzzzzzz...

*Sits back waiting for W.A.R*

If you can't get decent rps while soloing on your chars, you're not playing them to well imo! Solo sm shouldn't have hard to easy make 10k / hour or so at some tower or bridge. And tbh it aint hard to duo either if you want help from a healer or smth. Most decent soloers around make alot more rps than the regular gg's and fg's running about. There's actually just a few groups that manage to get a very decent rps / hour these days. Like Our Group. But they left now so we'll see who's coming up there!

And yes, i think this new system is the worst thing that ever happened to DAoC if they release it, even worse than WL's and bainshees. The ONLY thing people can look back at when playing this game, is their rr's. The reminders of the hard work and dedication and how long it took to get that rr. NF made it alot easier to get rps, and i think that's more than enough.

And all this nonsense about "people should be able to compete better with newly rolled chars". Well, WTF is the point of getting higher rr if you dont have any advantage from getting it? The whole idea is that a rr11 should be able to kill several low rr's before he goes down himself, thanks to his rr's. It would be just crap if there was no way to get advantage over enemy players. High rr people with dedicated groups deserves to have this.

Lvl 1 have capped rps afaik?

 

[Straef]

That's the reason they won't get that many!

 

[Henrock]

Realm point value = (level - 20)squared + (realm rank level x 5) + (champion level x 10) + (master level (squared)x 5)

So:

(50 - 20)^2 + (100 * 5) + (5 * 10) + (10^2 * 5) = 900 + 500 + 50 + 500 = 1950 realmpoints for a rr11 cl5 ml10 char

They disclaiming this as only being on pendragon at that moment and could've been changed since then tho.

i think thats what they are worth for themselve. So a ml10 rr11 cl5 char would get that many for a rr11 ml10 cl5 char.

not sure tho but i know that for example r7 bd got 2.3k from r10 solo.


even tho that the number 6.7k is high, he told me so and accordingly to the "old" system that low rr gets more rps for high rr i think there is a possebility that they put that in the new system as well.
