I think a lot of us are tired of the constant dock camping, bridge camping. Its just as bad as OF Gate camping portal keep camping. However, here are a couple idea's that I have. Now don't get me wrong. Camping will always be an issue and you cant prevent that.
First lets discuss the issue with NF bridges and docks
1. Too close to the portal keeps ( This creates everyone camping the keep to steam roll small mans, solo players)
2. Makes 8 mans Circle around bridges and docks more and not open field fights (8 mans get upset when they don't get a FAIR fight, however other small mans and solos also complain because the 8 mans aren't giving them a FAIR fight.) goes both ways.
3. Makes most of the map (unless there is a task or keep defense) useless.
4. Easier for Stealth zergs or solos to camp.
Lets discuss the issues with OF Gates
1. One portal keep to enter the Frontier and the PK gets camped by stealth
2. Gates had a one way enter/exit from one side, no climb points, no other form of entry.
3. one of the opposing realms had to run 100 miles to get to the milegates.
This is what my Idea is or if anyone wants to add to this be my guest. Im just trying to help the server become more alive again and fun.
Take portals out of Beno, Crauchon, Bledmeer, Glenlock, Bold, Nged. (these keeps are too close to the dock and create a dock camp, it wont eliminate it but it will lessen the amount of stealth sitting around the dock looking for enemies. Also it will lessen the amount of 8 man, or small man.
This will make others have to run either from the other surrounding keeps or go to the relic dock. This will also make all variety of groups/solo have to roam more to find their fights which is what we want right? Yes, I know some will just camp the surrounding keeps. but not everyone will port at the same keep to get to the dock or bridges.
(this is what OF had and NF doesn't) after you got passed the Gate, there was an open field where everyone roamed. Thimble, Lake, x roads, Certain forests. It truly felt like we had to search for a fight. NF currently is just keep camping. Besides 8 mans, all you see is a bunch of people sitting near the keep looking down at the bridge and dock waiting for solos, small mans to get into a fight so they can add in...
Also additionally, only the relic docks would have the Tracker where it can see stealth. but the other ones at the other keeps do not.
