MMORPG.com Managing Editor Jon Wood had the chance recently to sit down and speak with the folks from Mythic Entertainment about yesterday's update 1.1 and specifically about the changes that were made to the Open RvR system. In this interview, the team discusses the changes, ORvR vs. scenarios, their intentions for feature balance and more.
Cheers, |

Alwways cracks me up, Mythic's insistance in using the RvR acronym verses the normal PvP one. They are essentially one and the same. |

You want to know why people aren't RvRing?
BECAUSE EVERY DAMN SERVER CRASHES AT >>>>>***EVERY****<<<<<< FORTRESS SEIGE!
Stop focusing on giving us rewards to a system that is broken. Fix that shit, and people will be inspired to take part in it. Right now those players think "what's the point?" And those defending say in /region "need more players at the fortress to crash the server". What kinda damn defense is that!?!?!
FIX
THE
SERVER
STABILITY!!!!! (and actual fix it. Don't just tell us you did) |

It apparently happens with the FORTRESS seiges. But keep seiges have no problems and are running less slide show since the patch. Which is a great!! |

Destruction recently fully sacked Altdorf on Skull Throne and there were no crashes. If your still crashing your either getting a CTD, your system sucks, or its like any other game..patches = (usually) temporary stability issues. that sacking was 300+ destruction againsta bout 48 - 100 order since many from order (admited on WHA boards) didn't show up figuring it would just crash and cause the siege to reset. Haha sucked to bethem when their city went down and they logged on the next day and had to Pay Taxes to Use the AH, pay taxes to Bank, and pay well extra fees just to train at the Refugee camps rofl :) Sucka's learned that losing your city is a real bitch. |

what the heck are you talking about? crash? ctd? you understand that you are the CLIENT, don't you? it doesn't matter if you run warhammer on a high end PC or on a potatoe, your answer is not relevant. Jpizzle talks about the SERVER stability, and he is right. |

Not Keeps. Fotresses. I've been on 3 servers. It's happen on all of them. Drifting Castle, Averhiem and Ungrim. I'm one of the few in my guild willing to stick around while they fix it. And I'm only willing to stick around until the end of the year. |

The big issue with these ORVR items is that it CALLS OUT FOR ONE SIDE FACTION SERVER !!! Thus its no longer PVP ! Its 10000 against 1 ..... And you all know what faction is beeing played ! |

Fortress sieges are prone to crashing -- not client crashes either. So this is only affecting the T4 players. However, since this is the major focus of the game, it's a pretty critical topic. (keeps are fine -- just laggy) Mythic has provided more incentive to be out in oRvR. However, at T4 they need to *quickly* resolve the stability issues if they want this to be effective for the T4 players. From what I saw last night, the new oRVR influence system was bringing out players in large numbers from both sides in T1 and T2 (didn't have time to check out T3 or T4). Hopefully, it will keep bringing them out regularly. I'm glad to see content and rewards being worked on but I think the technical folks need to step up to the plate and deliver. It seems like every patch delivers something about "increased stability and performance" but I haven't seen any increase in performance (and I'm well above the minimum spec). Honestly, I don't have the time to do much with the T4 campaign so the fortress issues don't hit me as directly as the do the rest of my guild. But the issues are so aggravating that I'm not sure how many people will stay around if this doesn't get resolved quickly. My limited playtime has reduced me to a more casual player so I can generally keep busy with the T1-3 stuff and only do T4 on the weekends. |

QFT!!! This happens on Ungrim constantly. |

Yes stability would be a major improvment for sure. Another thing i wish they had fixed was bright wizzards and Knights of the blazing sun. Because on the Ironfist server those guys are still over powered. So all the patching they did is still not enough to offset the imbalance from all the stat boosts they have.

I play on Badlands and I've personally never experienced a fortress siege that didn't have the zone crash at some point. It's getting better, last time it was Destro's rush through the fortress door that did it as opposed to it happening before the first door was down and we did in fact finish the siege out after the restart. It's getting better, but even the full on siege we saw from start to finish was in essence a slide show for all involved (this was a problem for everyone so it's not just my less than uber rig) |

So much for this game being less gear dependant....... I mean that was supposed to be one of the boasts before release. What happens to the RvR lakes when people fill the Influence bars and get the gear they want? Then they'll go own everyone in the scenarios with their new "phat loot". |

Not quite. It hardly owns anything. It's better, but it won't tip the scale. |
