Organised Objective RvR

[Poag]

I was just checking the guild front page and i spotted this article on the Cam herald site
http://www.camelotherald.com/more/1402.shtml

Got me thinking about a similar kind of thing on Pryd.

I mean say once a week in a 5 hour time frame [say 6 till 11 or something] theres an objective annouced to two realms, and a defending objective to the last realm.

Then within the 5 hours they must secure said objective [a keep for example] for the longest period of time. IE- Albs are defending Eras say, they get 20 mins prep time to get the keep sorted, they defend the keep for 2 hours before hibs take it [just say] hibs hold it for an hour then the mids take it from the hibs for 2 hours.

This would gives albs 2 hrs of hold time [from when the objective is announced] hibs 1 hour and mids 2 hours.

I'm not sure what 'reward' you could get form this, maybe as in the cam herald one, u get points and then at the end of the month a winning realm is announced and them some 'prize' awarded to that realm [ideas on prizes needed ofc, something for the realm or maybe a special cloak design, or a extra RvR title like 'Briton High Lion Knight' or something, if they were rr10 ]

Ofc GOA would have to be involved in this with the announcment of the objectives and the rewards at the end of it.

Some feedback here if people would think this would:-
A-Work
B-Be atteneded by all 3 realm..not as much point if its just 1v1
C-Be fun..after all thats what games are here for

and some prize ideas aswell, and something from GOA be nice to!!

ps- sorry for all my typos above, hopefully it makes sense

keep takes werent much fun so far. Boring as hell with tank chars.... with toa it must be even more horrible (storms, wards even more caster orianted). So dunno, i wouldnt mind, but i dont like keep takes in the current form (pbae hitting through walls, 40 shrooms, wards and other camping shits.The design of keeps are shit aswell, there is no "castle warfare", like fighting from room to room, taking choke points of a castle (a tower, a hall or something etc), maybe that changes in frontiers... keeps are just too small when 2fg+ inside and 3fg+ attacking it imo and centralised around the lord or the front walls.

ps.: in zerg warfare casters rly shine, not much fun playing tank in zerg (at least i found caster more fun in big battles then a tank)

Well objective can be more capture-the-flag oriented, something in lines of escort courier, seek and destroy, infiltrate and report/assasinate, etc.
Some npc's armies would've added fun too =D

CTF i like the sound of, Pickup a flag from the middle of a frontier and u have to return it to your PK or BK, but when carrying the flag you move slowly and 'glow' to give the other 'teams' a chance at catching you.

More ideas people..more!!!

Maybe could take over caledonia again, and hold a mini games for entrant 'teams' and the winning team gets a prize

 

[Eroda]

It'd be good if there were more objectives in the game imo and it'd be nice if goa organised something.

For a MMORPG, DaoC is really quite superficial as in theres currently little long term goals involved other than to keep relics and farm rps to improve your character. RvR is still lots of fun atm but it would be nice if having keeps actually gained the realm more of a strategic advantage.

 

[Azathrim]

Uhm...
Reward for holding keeps: Darkness Falls
Capture the flag missions: Courier missions

 

[Daedalus]

I don't think that our servers would be up to it ;-)

SoS, need I say more?

yes how about something constructive?

Bring siege weapons. Suddenly you are the Barmy Bomber

 

[Ormorof]

keep takes are only fun if there are defenders

 

[Poag]

keep takes are only fun if there are defenders

and [fingers crossed] there would be defenders from the defending realm, like i said in the post.

A realms 'home' keep would be selected as the target for the 5 hours and then two realms would have to attack said keep and hold it for as long as possible to gain points...points towards what i don't yet know but some kind of realm prize

:> yea but still not the same as archer/assasin/caster

 

[Borvo]

like the idea =). but i think we should get a relic insted of flag (CTR) and the relic would give 5% magic and str to the realm this would make it lil more usefull for the "rp whores" and with this reward the realms would gather up to get it. but u loose it after 7 to 10days (randomly so peeps wouldnt know when it will be)

 

[Cozak]

So your not saying that its not constructive pointing out that at the minute this feature would be pointless as when albs get the flag they are pretty much unstoppable with a mincer who has SoS.. yay sounds fun for mids and hibs. So how about you think before you post?

how about reading the post saying that the flag carrier woudl be moving at reduced speed...i guess that would include reduced speed of speed effects aswelll...well i would certainly think it would as there would be no point reducing the speed [as i said] if it didn't affect speed songs aswell? wouldn't you agree?

anyway i'm in the process of writing a doc about a 'mini games' event for the realms to compete in.

Each realm enters a few teams working up the ladder to win some kind of 'prize' for the winning team...details probably come back over the weekend when i get some time to finish my ideas

I reckon they should make an event in Emain (for example) where they close of the entrance to emain, turn DC into hib's portal keep and stick an undefended building in the middle of emain somewhere and have a massive zergfest of king of the hill. (realm holding the recieve a small dmg boost)
Then when you release, you end up straight in your pk with no rez sick, so you can go straight back into the action

They could even reduce end/power usage to keep the mass zerg warfare going.

 

[DaggerElivager]

i like aoln's idea loads ..if they did that i'd have to 'borrow' someones acc and come play! <looks at jaem>

 

[Jaff]

very good ideas, and cozak.. maybe suggesting a way to make sos less effective (or not work at all for this) would of been more helpful?

or just use BG! thats easyer imo =)

you could play my bot while i play hunter

 

[Ilum]

I would like an event where they would allow GG's to face eachother from different server / realms.

Well i said that this idea would be silly at the minute, but with frontiers skalds and bards are getting SoS as well so it would then become a fesible idea imo.

Then we'd have something akin to the last GoA event, where only this time the 200+ people not allowed in and spamming the entrance can actually get in, would just be like a 3 way relic keep with noone being able to move.

As someone said, if its done on a realistic scale for the daoc engine you might as well just play battlegrounds The fact is, anything 'new' and 'for one night only' would be an utter fking zerg and thus make it totally unplayable for all involved (and probably crash the server too).

;O

I only have gimps!

 

[Balbor]

i'd like to see enemy NPC armies invade and try to take over a keep or other objective. the Escort Quests were a nice idea but they didn't seem to be more than a novilty thing. A high level BG would be a perfect place for RvR events, with players being able to kick start them through there actions and current status of the BG. Quests/tasks which grant you bonues RPs for your group, like 'spy hunter' for killing stealther classes or different types of escorts missions: Giant ram (escort NPC siege team that builds a Huge ram that destroys first door in one hit) or Masster Assassin (escort assassin and kill all keep guards so master assassin can sneek in and kill/amost kill Keep Lord).

 

[Speeedy]

Think they did this awhile ago to the top few guilds on each server or something.. think SotL and another guild went from Alb/Pryd.. sure someone will fill in the info

 

[gervaise]

Nothing is planned and I agree that servers probably couldn't cope.

You may want to take a look at castle sieges in L2 fpr some possible 'ideas'. They happen at a set time. Siege lasts 2 hours. Castle can be retaken if captured during the time period. NPCs will raid if an organised raid doesn't happen within a given time frame. Castles are huge and no push over as well. Significant rewards to the clan that holds them. Has to be defender though - NPCs ensure that (if not enough attackers / defenders turn up).

6th L2 server just went live as well.
