Battlegrounds

Been mentioned a few times - One of my fav things about euro, really brought a lot of the community together because of the group requirements, also the fights were cool as everyone could go all out without being afraid to drop

I suspect could do 2x of every class as the minimum then 1 random player

If this could be added with or just after patch 2.0 would be nice especially if it could include new 2.0 mobs in there too!

Agreed, Battleground was pretty fun.

A minimum of an 11 person group might be a bit much though.

Would be a minimum of 10, with 1 random extra .. 1 of each class would be too small

making it 2x would be ok - at least this way it wouldn't be packed full of groups, a little effort needed .. also make it 33+ to stop people grouping low chars just to get them in

10 ppl min is too much.

I assumed you meant the 1 random extra was required? That makes it a minimum of 11.
How many was it on Euro? I can't remember.

 

[reecew]

10 people would be fine something like this could possibly bring people back nd if you struggle to find 10 people im sure there will be people looking for groups non stop.

 

[terriblen]

It was 3 of each class on euro = 9
Exploited by just about everyone in many different ways.
Haven't seen a version of BG that worked well and wasn't exploited.
Do say if you have come across a server had a BG that worked well.
BG made it easier to get to bosses and there were no body drops. safe mir

Why ?

No, 10 minimum - 1 extra is an option, as the group holds 11 - euro was 9, 3 of each class

10 people would be fine something like this could possibly bring people back nd if you struggle to find 10 people im sure there will be people looking for groups non stop.

Yeah that was my thinking, it gets people to break the guild barriers i made loads of new friends this way

I dont know of a private server that had a successful BG. The USA official mir BG was exploited and removed. I know the euro was one exploited constantly. But the no drops no stone break made it nice n easy to pvp in there.

When you say exploited, do you mean because of how easy it was to get to a boss ? .. If so i'm sure the team can come up with a way to make it harder and unique to this server .. On euro you may have got a nice item worth while for your hunt in there, but remember you had to split the share with a full group

I do not know the details of the USA exploit. It was about bosses in there and spawns or lack of but there was more to it than that. Euro and USA you could "lose" people in the group and end up with 1 or 2 at the boss. Euro you could alter group and end up with 6 FF wiz to wipe out enemies or just 2 to auto level or whatever u wanted. A lot to have to fix. Being able to kill 3 or 4 bosses in an hour and a couple of sub bosses makes everything a bit too easy dont you think?
Or is that what people want?
If could make it so once one player died whole group got tele out

Alot of that is news to me! .. the only "exploit" i saw on euro was people adding newly created chars to fill the group up so they could get in - this could be solved quite easy with a min lvl requirement

As for being too easy to kill bosses, this would be where the team could tweak as needed I like your suggestion of once a player dies everyone gets tele'd though! would keep everyone on their toes lol

be interested to see an official reply on this, weather it's possible and/or worth while fixing all the issues that comes with it

 

[Paloma]

You werent paying attention.
It wasnt that bosses were easy some claimed that they were harder. It was that you could get to them in a few minutes then on to the next then another all in an hour.
Min level would mean you cant level yr alt or your mates. One dies all out means fights over in seconds -if it was the no drop fights you were after.
I still doubt that there has been a p server with a working BG. Have seen a couple of tries but nothing worked well.
Maybe this team could do it but there are many other things for them to do and they seem determined to make people fight for bosses in the ordinary maps not encourage carebear safe zones.

I can assure you I was

I was referring to this - "Being able to kill 3 or 4 bosses in an hour and a couple of sub bosses makes everything a bit too easy dont you think?"

min level is reasonable and solves a potential issue - you wouldn't want someone stood at the back leeching all the exp, this is a group map afterall, each person should be kicking ass

One dies all out means fights over in seconds -if it was the no drop fights you were after.

This was your idea ? lol

I agree, hopefully the team can come up with a good version of what we're after

On euro i could clear et/es cs izt 2 or 3 times a run solo with lvl 3 ff and pro ring.. Rs every 22 mins made it easy to time and be ready... After teleing in, if you left the group the time limit was dropped as there was no group to tele out.. Made a good bit of cash and exp doing this, fun too haha.. But yeh would need some real thought to stop ppl exploiting like that ;p

 

[Paloma]

And thats just some of the exploits.
