You're not supposed to be able to be lvl 50 and go to prydwen bridge and kill lv 8's like its some Mordred server. You have to exploit to get to those lands, so ban.

Well you could also create a massive zerg and rush the fz keep. Not sure if that happened, but it surely wouldnt be a bannable offense to do so.

You could. On a server with a lot more players.

But, that isn't how the few like less than 10 people that got banned for it got in to the lowbie pve zones though.

= ban

"why would you want to ban them for it"

if you aren't being sarcastic and don't see, if they wanted lv 50s going around killing the lv 6's killing boulderlings in camelot hills, the server would be empty. There's FFA servers tried in the past, they're dead or on Dawn of Light have 0 players for this reason.

No I mean if they got there in a legitimate way. Of course they should ban people if they abuse bugs and then grief other players.

It’s beta. Aren’t you supposed to find stuff like that? If they did this on live I could see a ban

left side svasud and snowdonia is broken wall entrance on every server i played, ohter keeps maybe also, didnt test. think they did there. other servers have hard border after those keeps, enemy instant kill on passage, but have had also ban those after for a short time

This is what my battlegroup unintentionally did by charging straight through both gates at Snowdonia with brute force and numbers. A few of us survived the guard rush, but we did not interfere with anyone; we peacefully toured Albion a bit and suicided. Those who use the broken keep areas and then camp lowbies deserve what's coming to them, which is lenient enough at a few days' ban.

I wish we could have actual realm invasion events. Instances of griefing would give me pause as a developer, knowing there are enough bad apples in the community who don't care about ruining the experience of others for their own amusement.

Technically, you invade the other realm all the time when you port to the opposing realm.

Ya but no touching their safe spaces!

i would love this ! if you can rush with 300+ players into the other realm and invade everything

this server will hit 2-3k players for a long time.... so ... where should ppl go ? 1k rvr players go fight in emain or what? ...... or attack beno?

.... I WANT INVADE!

Show me on the doll where that bad Troll touched you.

I can get on board with this. The way I see it, there are three friction points that cause attrition in this game.

1. Leveling to 50. I think this has been sufficiently addressed and well done.
2. Junior RR. Jumping out into emain and getting hit by rr7-8 and possibly cheating groups and solos? RvR tasks can get you to RR5 either Zerg surfing or solo. Will see how that works with higher population.
3. Once you hit the RR6 wall, and maybe start seeing a fall off in pop- what do you do if you get bored. What’s there to engage you? More RR? Yes. Relics? Yes. A campaign driven story that weaves keep taking, relic raiding into all out realm assault? Yes please.

Best thing it can be an event, GM driven.Even make it no realm points in certain zones if needed. But some trophies and titles would be sweet - Kingslayer.

If you mass up 20-25 people and run to portal keeps, you can teleport to homeland of enemy realms. It is a bannable offense to do this.

They added a metric crapton of casterguards at each keep - even with the holes..I’d like to see it happen.

Yeah instead of a wall they added casters that deal 2000 aoe damage.
