Tasks was terrible idea, sorry but we saw this coming in beta, people are bad at the game and just chase free rps in task zone.

Yes lets get rid of what has been the most popular idea any DAoC shard has done in a very long time and has created a TON of RvR activity.

Just because YOU don't like RvR tasks, now we need to ruin the fun for everyone else just so YOU can have fun LOL

They already pushed their agenda in discord. Staff does what 5 % of population alias discord whiners want and overwholed a working system.

its popular because you get a reward for dying in a rvr zone which is great especially as a grey to get mcl and other ra's early way better than bothering with thid (already 2l0 on my rm with 26 just for a little dying)

the kill rvr tasks arent the problem but the realm tasks if you have only one and all the action concentrates there you are just [edit - Language] if your realm has not enough people rvring right now, people will get demotivated and just go afk then until the realm task changes and they get better access to rvr where they dont donate the whole time to a full grp of hibs desperate for any kill. Especially if you dont play at prime time it shows some realms have decent 8man going and others run arround with duos/trios refusing to grp up and rather die or quit/afk then. Multiple realm tasks in different zones could help even if some give a lower reward for less risk but shorter travel times.

Imo a Server can have a huge successful Population without set-grps, but without casual masses only the Hardcore set-grps remain.

If that's the vision they have for Phoenix, then so be it. But so far most it didn't seem like that.
A thing to keep in mind is that hardcores complain while casuals (often) simply move on and not look back.

I don't think currently planend changes are a sign that they kosten to the top-SGs only. The keeptasks really are boring. Either the attacking side zergs the keeps down like mad, finishing Task after Task in recordtime, making 10-15k per Hour basically PvEing memory keeps... or a Defender zerg sits at the Keep farming an endlose train of solos/smallmen wiping themselves into the keepzone (which is far more common since most people want the Defender to win so we can go to domination).

Unable to organise 8v8, confirmed.

And the good ppl can participate as well.

Yes, let's remove tasks and kill the population...

The realm tasks have been amazing I see no viable reason to remove them nor is their a reasonable alternative explained.

They not only give a location for zergs and voltron groups to roam; they also make the "non" task locations more viable for solo's.

Leave the tasks as is, and if anything, implement additional unique tasks.

Tasks are working as intended for the most part. They just need to lower RP's dramatically above rr4-5. But this has to go in conjuction with more benefits of both claiming and defending keeps, and taking them, to get people to play the game as it was intended.

You have to remember that atleast 80-90% of the players, are casual nostalgic zerg players, who would not bother playing in the long run, f they couldn't achieve or compete in RvR. If you want to stomp shit, roll out as 2-3 fg as a guild and stomp shit. If you want alteri, go to alteri.

Noone them dares to login on alteri. That's the sad part of the story.

I hope this won't be the case, I'm really enjoying the tasking and zerging, even though I've played a lot of 8v8 back in the days. Progressing in RvR is feasible, even without much time at hand right now.
I haven't been around during beta and I'm also not following the discord at all. One of the biggest things I've wondered since I started playing on release.

Isn't anybody using the arena npcs? Are they disabled right now or aren't there any incentives? (RPs)
Wouldn't this be a great opportunity to gauge the interest of the 8v8 players? If the participation turns out to be on the lower end you could assume that in the end everyone just wants easy RPs for themselves.

Do this but permaban every cross-realming 8v8 player at the same time.

We waited in the blistering cold for 4 hours and you just didn't show.

Its fun how people dump some statistics or certitudes about the number of casual who love the zerg who apparently represent 90% of the players , the number of whiny elitists which is 5% etc.

I can also invent some numbers : 55% of people would like the tasks to be in all zones at the same time. I did a poll in my head with myself.

Agreed.

Tasking just turns this into live.
