RP cap in BG 1?

[censi]

IS there an RP cap of 350 in BG 1.

I mean if you have more that 350 Rp's you cant enter???

If so thats a crock of shit.

 

[SilverHood]

The cap is there to prevent people earning huge amounts of RPs at low levels and (once we get 1.50) using them to buy loads of Realm Abilities.

It's also there to 'encourage' people to level their characters and get involved in 'real' RvR...

I agree, mindlessly zerging back and forth over the same ground, taking the occasional keep is what "real" RvR is all about, nothing like bg's at all.

Personally, I think they should have a /reset realmpoint command or something, cant be that hard surely.

I got the full amount of Realm Points in Thidranki and over i got 356 and then i was killed by a group of Midgards "Nice work guys" and i auto-released because there was no Cleric/Friars around the area i was killed.
But it is a excellent idea, because just imagine is there was no cap.. all the n00bs (and some alts) would never level past 24. If you look at the bright side of this when the 1.50 patch is finally released sometime in September (from what i heard) the other BG's should become Active (this is in another post) - because atm Thidranki is the only Active Battleground on Excalibur, sometimes you see a group of people in the other 2 BG's but not for long as they get bored and suicide or go back thought the gate in the Teleport keep and back to there Portal Keeps in there realm.

And they then look forwards to leveling up to 40 to take part in RvR (Keep Raids/Relic Raids) which is 10 times better then BG RvR

So you saying a Realm Point cap of 350 is a crock of shit, you need to look past Thidranki and get ready to do some real RvRing.

The Battleground were only really made to get you ready for Realm vs Realm battles, and to gain some experience in how to play and gain tactics so when you come to the real thing you know what to do instead of standing there with your finger up your butt wondering what to do next.

Bye Bye

Define "Real" RvR.
Relic raids and taking of keeps leading upto a relic raid, thats it. Thats the only real RvR, the nightly zerg across emain, is no different than the bg's, just longer mezzes.
Why shouldnt people have the option of staying in bg's if they want to?
Why on earth should they have to spend months on ballbreaking xp if they dont want to?
Keep raids outside bgs arent 10x more fun at all, 1fg can take an undefended keep, try doing that in thid.
Relic raids would be fun, but the lag usually means im spamming F8 and /stick.

People pay to play this game for fun, if they're having a blast in bgs and happy to stay there, why shouldnt they.

Uber

Ssssh, you take away the feeling of safety for all those odd lvl 50's who really think they uber, I mean common if u reached that lvl you must be among the best players, surely.

To cut the bs, I saw some with alts who still suck in r v r, and I saw "n00bs" who knew what they were doing. Oh yeah my point being, talking ish bout Bg makes ppl feel like they accomplished something (leachin?).

But to be blunt, if u constantly fuck up in Bg, u prolly will fuck up wit "the big boys" and their expensive dyes in "real" R v R to.

there is no difference

the experienced players using a level 24 alt in thidranki can exhibit just as much skill (as much as possible in this game) as any level 50 char in emain.

thats just bullshit level ego talking, when you say BG RvR is not real RvR, they are EXACTLY the same, other than there are no effects to keep takes or keep losses.

BGs are an absolute LIFELINE to the more casual players , (who have a real life and work) and cannot play 24/7 like most of the big mouth kids on these boards who level 3 characters to level 50 and think they are the bollocks.

variety is the spice of life, i would much rather level 3 24 alts, which is entirely possible and have lots of fun on thidranki, yes, real RvR fun, against human opponents, than spend the same time, playing against the crap AI and dull XP grind needed to get 1 character to level 50.

long live thidranki, im there with my SB atm, im already looking forward to my berserker getting to 24. my main char is purely a patron now, giving my alts gold so they can level quicker with better store bought armor.

there is a difference, but it's not rvr as a whole, i consider the play style in thid to be just as "real" as in proper rvr so to speak, emain has allways bored the pants off me, even when the server lvl's were lower and i could enjoy seeing orange/yellow cons there it was pathetic.

what's different are the classes, especially hib one's, most hib classes (not all by any means) are pretty gimped until lvl 40+ because there's no way to spec them so that the class is in it's full potential until you get the mini dings, this is especially true with shades and rangers, those classes are both very goot at 50. rangers are especially good compared to the other archer classes, capable of having just as good bow skills (better tbh with the new slower heavier bows available in upcoming patches too) as scouts, and better meelee than hunters... BUT, until 40+ there's no way to actually fill out the class, your pathfinding (which is the only thing making your bow viable, only speccing bow isnt enough) will take up too many points for you to spec meelee without gimping bow. on the other hand if you spec bow high with path then you gimp meelee, it's only at 40+ that you can have both as they should be.

reason? simple, path only needs to be specced to 30, after that it's not worth it due to it being broken (ie, made wrongly, it works but not as it should) after 30 where you get almost nothing for your spec points) so you dont need to spec anymroe, that frees up lots of points, stealth of course can be cut after 30 too, with rank and items it can reach 40 easy, dont need it higher than that, so not having to spec those, combined with the mini dings allows you to get excellent bow AND excellent meelee (the best of all archer classes), but like i say, in bg levels rangers are NOT the same class that you'll see the lvl 50 rangers being in emain, not half as good.

same with shades, while sb's etc... can be viable all through the game, shades only become something to rekon with at 40+, once you get there though they are very nice, but in bg? nope shame but it's true, many hib classes only get as good as the other realms equivelants at higher lvls, THEN they can hold their own well, but not at bg lvl's, not properly anyway, not like they should be able to do.

take our casters? as you go through the 30's you find your technique relying increasingly on that BELOVED!!!! stun, it...is...god...almighty, your only concern for the most part, it MAKES our eldritches etc... but at lower lvl's it's too short to be useful, so the elds you see in bg aren't the same type of class as you'd see in emain etc...

so the gameplay is DIFFERENT, but hardly any less valid, just have to change your style a bit that's all, personally i like the battleground for one main reason, i'll even put up with my gimpness for this same reason, what is it? it's:


NOBODY CARES ABOUT REALM POINTS!

meaning that while "real" rvr has been turned into another form of xping *spit* bg rvr is still fun, people go there merely to enjoy themselvs, there's no "i HAVE to make 40k by the end of tonight!" mentality there, people take a keep because it's enjoyable to do so. that's what i like about it, and you can tell from this forum alone that everyone here is a damn sight happier than in "real" rvr, has anyone noticed how un-bitchy this place is?

soz for making you read the long post, but hell, you spend all night looking at a 3d game, be good to give the eyes a rest
