RR-Limit on RvR Events like Zergball

Hey guys,

i´m a fan of events and stuff like that but u should make a limit of RR in these events. because these events are highly used to just zerg rp over 1 weekend. that doesnt make any difference for the event himself, but for the open RvR later on, some groups are farming like 300-400k on a weekend like that, popping up in open RvR zone beeing almost rr5. multiply that on more events...

so it would be great to set a rule for that, if you wanna play the event because of the event, log in a alt/twink to see whats going on or to participate.

less rps maybe but limit is stupid

I will say an event like thios is great for getting people out, but it gave out WAY to many RP's.

A friend made a stupid amount of RP's last night in about 4-5 hours.

Make getting RR like getting levels. Make the last couple of RR take a long time. I'd rather have less of a power gap. Hard core grinders are free to go to Uthgard.

I just don't want to see a huge gap in skill AND RR's.

It's going to happen over a period of time, but lets try to keep it within reason early in the servers life.

Or as more people high high RR, lower the RP's needed for some of the lower RR's, I don't know, something to help people try to stay competitive.

Agreed there can't be roaming 8 man death squads that destroy zergs or sh1t like that. I like Warhammer RoR method.... it's not unreasonable to get to RR80 (max level for points ) and a crazy high max level renown rank of 240... or something like that. Just add fluff for the higher RR's to satisfy people that need to see numbers go up. Higher RR doesn't mean they need to be that much more powerful.

Just scale the RPs earned in these events based on current RR... higher realm rank gains less RPs and stop getting any above rr8.

Awesome idea if it can be implemented.

I would even say a hard cap on RR5 would be adequate. Each character above that should not gain any RPs in event zones. Else, start diminishing returns from RR4 so that it approaches 0 RPs per kill towards RR7.

The events are fun! But, do we need a way to get realm ranks faster? Maybe feathers as the reward instead?

Sun 12 Aug 2018 9:11 PM by Quik

The problem with handing out feathers for everything is they lose there value.

Maybe have a reward based on who wins the event overall. Xp bonus, item drop bonus, DF for a week, titles, who knows.

I still say keep feathers in PvE for tough bosses and raids and let them keep there value. Lets not diminish it already.

rr5 would be an ideal limit for this

Sun 12 Aug 2018 10:32 PM by Ganaka

IMO, It cheapens RR accomplishment if RP are earned outside of standard RVR.

Events should either be in the bgs to get lower realm ranks out to big boy faster, or EXTREMELY LIMITED in duration 24 hours max, and provide no extra rps, but maybe some cool skins or something.

People probably got 300k this weekend on rps, at least some, and that was with beta pop, try one on live version of this server.

thx guys for all your opinions, so i am not the only one thinking about that.

i suggest different things:

1. events shouldnt be more then 1 time a month and should be limited to 24hours max.
2. RP´s you are gettin should be max out to reach 4L9, then ur gettin ported out
3. maybe give some rewards for the winner of the event, but nothing to special, because the goal in this event was interesting for some guys, but i would say 70% of the people in this event are just there to zerg RP´s reaching some higher ranks without any problems

and guys, its not about "go play uthgard if you like to grind" trashtalk. its about some kind of unbalance that opens up in the 8vs8 situations and some groups are grinding the shit out in these events.

so please phoenix team, think about that if you open a new event. thanks everybody

A RR5 limit will not be fun in a few months when 80% of the population is RR5 and the events host 20-30 people at peak time. They'd have to constantly have to change what the 'cap' is set to.

A limit is a bandaid solution to this problem. Why try to alienate a selection of people for being successful?

Maybe as an idea, still account everything for the Realm Pool but instead of players getting RPs they would receive "Phoenix Shards".
Phoenix Shards can be exchanged against RPs with some smart non-linear formula the staff can design.
Have Phoenix shards locked per account (so people can farm for their lower toon).

Yea! people should have to earn their rps from real rvr, like ganking greys and xpers! Like seriously, you people are anti-fun

Tue 14 Aug 2018 6:01 PM by Niix

You don't get RPs for greys... people that do that are just bored I guess.
