How to make Border tasks better for all

Add porters to the border keeps that only the realm that ORIGINALLY owns the keep to port to.

Example: The keep in Emain has a port for hibernia players to port to.

If taken the new owners (Alb/Mid) wouldNOT receive a porter. It would simply go away for the Hibernia realm because they do not own the keep anymore. This means they would have to run there just like now. All this does is add another element to the game and make keeps more valuable. Nothing changes because players can take the port away by taking the keep.

This makes the 3 boarder keeps more strategic and worthwhile to own. It also increases action for places like Emain, Odins, and Hadrins when those realm tasks are active because all 3 realms have a chance of getting there quickly. This adds more logistics to daoc that will help mitigate the zerg. This also has an added side effect of splitting up stealthers. Instead of them stealth at the wall they now have two areas of opportunity to roam (the gate and the keep) instead of just the gate.

If keeps and relic rewards are worth while the zerg will naturally fight each other for the keeps. Once the zergs start fighting over keeps this will allow smaller groups/solo's to roam in between and find good fights.

I agree with you that Border Keeps should be what matter. They should be incentivized.

The Border keeps should be the focus of tasks. The keep tasks should only be at border keeps. So the fights in emain, odins, hadriand revolve around those border keeps.

The tasks should just be fight in emain then fight over the border keep. Fight in odins then fight over border keep. Fight in hadrians then fight over border keep.

The border keep fights in emain are some of the best in the game.

Good idea. However port MUST NOT work while the keep is under attack.

IF (and that's a big IF) they cahnge something regarding porterkeeps and equalized access to emain for all realms, then the porting should be to the first keep OUTSIDE of emain

The keep in emain itself should remain what it is

but even then, having such a portmechanic will open a whole nother can of worms

I agree with this to a certain extent. Only if say a ram attacks the door and a siege is underway. 2 people attacking the door shouldnt cause it.

Have porting to either border keep, or next closest keep, be reliant on owning 2 additional keeps. Example being of Crauchon is the port destination, hib must also own Bolg and da Behn, or something to that effect. If you really want to split the zerg, make several keeps mandatory for porting ability.

I would say add the ability to port to any keep not under attack, except a task keep, because that would be an unfair advantage to the defender.

I agree

I agree with this good idea. But x)

I reallt think, if they do that about porting in hib keep to be closer to emain, none will attack this keep x) why alb and mid should take this keep ? To remove the action and force hibbies to relog alb or mid ? x)

People wan’t to fights, they don’t wan’t to wait 15mins to got a fight 😏

And for zerg, i hope they will implant some good change for them, about keep etc. Solo small’s action now is ridiculous ^^ i solo lot of on my necro , guys, when i got a 1v1 or1v2 it’s like christmas i swear 🎉 basicly 90% of the time i died outnumbered by speed 6 roamers.

I solo on necro because every pots are free and so x) When it’s release forget me as visible solo haha , MINSTREL only MINSTREL, i don’t like it , but no choice.

Yea a port in each realm is a good idea

On live there will be a 12 hour realm switch timer, so people wont switch immediately.
