Off topic: I rushed to a wrong conclusion yesterday about two fellow Withy players, Boshal and Plougholas and let stuff transpire on global before actually checking the facts. I wish to apolagise, not to avoid consequences but because i feel it is good to apolagise when wrong. Also i would apreciate if screenies of my chat on global werent taken all the time, i feel it is creepy and weird. Cheers!

Have to disagree here, daily-stats is great for many reasons, but the main one in my opinion is having a goal; trying to reach the top 10 or whatever. It's seeing the effort you've put in, in statistics, rather than just a headache and a bad sleeping pattern.
Maybe that seems egotistical or something, I dunno, but I like seeing how much I've earned and rating etc.

Agree with gene at this point

Thanks for the invite, i bet Orkze means orcs :P. If many people from other servers come there will be hundreds of rank 0 creeps LOL.
Lately in moors have larger number of freep player, which is nice for withy. Still lacking some leadership to actualy do something but i guess its nice step up for a change even with number rising.
lol actually they didnt give much away, but theres a dev diary coming out from someone i have never heard of.
To be honest you know the score, freeps will get a lot of stuff and we will get another tree and bird, or maybe a token 1k reaver bubble with a 55 min cd and it only works off a defeat response.

Surely its about the new keep capture mechanics. I assume they will get rid of the "ninja capture" and at least try and get rid of "keep hugging" and the "going to capture keeps with no creeps/freeps in them just because they are facerolling us somewhere else". Maybe even give more points for each kill.
My guess would be, based on what they've said previously about PvMP:
Keep capturing mechanics
Audacity (new season people = new grind)
Focus on PvP instead of PvE (again)
Commendations (probably a raise in cap and/or price adjustment... though the latter is probably wishful thinking)
Something I'd like to see though is to up creep dps by 20% as well as healing with 50%, OR lower freep healing 50%, on top of the lvl increase... but I think that is just wishful thinking as well
It depends on how much focus there will be on mounted combat when leveling, grouping & raiding. If that is all going to be mounted combat they will do little to change stats. If it is primarily regular combat they will probally redo the DR on stats, armor, etc. and increase dps and healing as a result.
The good thing is that the new pve set will not be top tier as there is no instances.
which in turn screws PvE players over. Seems they hav a really hard time getting thigns right on Turbine. Still, the dev diary will be interesting. Wonder if they'll fix the bug where you get killed by friendly NPCs
Big changes, very big. Hope that the fact that flipping keeps and OP gives no imediate bonus unless PvP is done work against PvE-ers and huggers.
How it could work against huggers: if one side hugs a keep a group from other side goes take all OP, relic to maybe some keeps. Bonuses alone should allow the side willing to fight to just barge in and kill the huggers. Hugging = no bonuses.
How it could work FOR PvE fans: in the morning PvE zerg fest groups (yes yes there are NO SUCH THINGS whatsoever) just get all bonuses then go camp grams/GY (creeps still need to quest for first ranks). Then they bail. Creeps get numbers flip all get all bonuses and zerg the freeps until they get enough numbers. Then and just then normal fights can begin.
I have suggested a message appears on screen when a keep is under attack. Like a call to protect. A call to PvP so to speak.
Else i dont know how the creep buffing up will affect our server. We have a BIG creep population and our freep population is....whats the word?...moody....doesnt come to ettens unless strict conditions are met.....well wait and see.
EC goes to Lug cyrcle gy and OC to TR cyrcle gy.
Forget EC-OC mode, too far from Graveyards..
''Each outpost your side controls provide everyone on your side an Ettenmoors wide, stacking Physical/Tactical Mastery buff (~10% boost per outpost).''
So I think many battles will take place around outposts..
South and west bridge control will be to the side that owns TA so it would be more difficult to take the keep.
Generally i think that the claim and the defence of the keeps will take major place in pvp game, something that already happens on our server without any special rewards..
I m afraid that we ll have the game of the ''cat and the mouse'' between the outposts..
Vendors in Glam Vraig are also offering a trade-in program! Each of the current pieces of armour can be traded in for a 10% commendation discount toward the upgraded version.
Depends on how much you have right now and how much you will gain. How active you are now and how active you'll be. If you're at 10k commies and will easily gain another 10k before the expansion you might aswell spend them now. You gain audacity and will be capped at launch anyway.
Guys I need your help. Should I spend more commendations on this current armour sets or should I save them for the future ones ?
Ty in advance
P.S. I know this isnt the freep thread but I wanted to know the Withy freeps opinion.
Depends on how much you play,and what your daily income on commendations is atm.
If you make 2-3k commendations a day and play daily then go ahead spend it ^.^ by the time it will be released you will have them again.
And unless i overlooked something the cap of commendations stays 10k for now... So saving isnt really gonna work very well.. once you reach 10k you better spend them,else every single earned commendation goes to waste... and 10k will be 1-2 pieces of gear...
If you barely play and have a hard time earning commendations,save them and get 1 or 2 pieces when they come out.
As for the "changes" to the Moors and creep class updates etc... We will see. Its silly to shout OP,too strong,bad.. right now,we dont even know what freeps get I did expect a bit more changes for defilers and warleaders,but they might get updates sometime after the RoR hits.
All in all,they want to have less PvE in the Moors,but make PvE things give HUGE,really almost must have, buffs moors wide... Am i the only one that finds that funny and weird at the same time?
Do they really think ppl will fight for those Keeps,and NPC Bosses to get the buff? Cant immagine it tbh.
And for withy i expect folllowing scenario : Side A comes in masses,flips keeps,OPs,and kills Bosses while Side B has only few and cant defend or do anything against it.. Side B then gets more Numbers and would like to PvP,but they cant cause all the Buffs Side A aquired with PvE will make PvP an autowin... Side B then is forced to Fight the already stronger Side A due to buffs,inside an Objective that Side B needs to capture to regain chances... Not gonna promote pvp in my eyes... Just finnally gives an excuse to Hug,and drives ppl away that dont want,or cant fight against a buffed enemy Army + NPCs...
Imo,This is a change that makes the strong winning side win even more... instead of balancing.. Avoid fights due to buffed enemys,try to capture Objectives... Like Haras said a cat and mouse game...
I don't agree with it becoming more PvE. The way I see it the line between PvE and PvMP is getting blurred.
Currently PvE has no other effect then give you a way to rank up while avoiding PvMP.
Right now when I don’t want to join the main raid I can either follow them around, roam the map searching for an unlucky questing creep or quest myself. And even the raid vs raid battles are more often then not a trenchwar.
With the new system taking control points has such an impact that the other side is forced to defend these, thus taking the PvMP fights to these locations with a more logic reason to engage combat then just for the sake of it.
now if the outposts stay about the same difficulty they are now this means there is an important role for smaller fellowships operating outside a main raid, since the outposts give such an important advantage.
This will give alot of choices:
Will you focus your forces in one strong raid and risk not controlling all outposts?
Will you split your forces to take outposts and get stronger but spread out?
When is the time right to group up and make a go for a keep?
Is it worth controlling the underground passages for fast manouvring around the map?
Where will the enemy most likely strike and can we prevent it?
Etcetera.
as for imbalanced sides:
1) the dominant force will have to spread out if they want to keep control of vantage points, while the underdog can fight a focused guerrilla-war.
2) up to 3 trolls/rangers will be available to the underdog.
so if the underdog can outsmart their foe the tables are easily turned.
I can see a very interesting battlefield in the future with room for raids/fellowships/small fellowships where creative players will thrive. Goodbye trenchwar, hello modern warfare!
I agree.. You ll need many people to control so many keeps.. I believe that both sides need to have maps in this type of game..
As i understand it the Delving is going to be like a fast subway network between keeps. So maybe maps wont be necesary at all. It should make for fast transfer from one place to other. I hope ;-)

Keep em. Or try and see how many comms u make per week and see how many u can make until RoR. Anyhow id use em on creep if i hit cap, at least what u buy stays there on creep. But just until RoR comes be sure to have the full 10k ready.
I think it will be just too hard for anyone to rank a defilier or a warleader without infamy from quests, especially from r0 to r5.
Oh and there will be no pvp as there is no now.
If freeps will control OPs creeps wont fight, if creeps control OPs freeps wont fight, it will just get worse.
