Warhammer Online Community Coordinator Andy Belford has posted the full details on the 100% RvR City Siege overhaul which was teased in a recent Producer's Letter focused on patch 1.3.5. The aim with this change is to shift the WAR campaign to be 100% RvR driven, and to that end City Sieges are now going to be 24 vs. 24 battles with multiple stages where both the invaders and defenders will have a chance to earn the game's best loot, and this includes Sovereign armor! With the completion of each stage, the winning realm will roll on a number of loot bags just like a PQ. Those who do not win a bag (including all of the losing realms side) will have Crests deposited right into their inventory. A Scenario Crest will also be rewarded to the winning realm.
City Sieges will consist of three stages, read below for a breakdown:
Stage 1
- Setup Phase: 5 Minutes
- Duration: 15 Minutes (Maximum: 45 Minutes… details included in the description)
- Invader's Win Condition: Breach the Palace Gates
- Defender's Win Condition: Hold Out (until the timer expires)
- Reward Lockout Duration: Approximately 20 Hours
Stage 2
- Duration: 30 Minutes
- Invader's Win Condition: Escort Either Allied Warlord to the Palace Gates or Defeat Enemy Warlords
- Defender's Win Condition: Escort Either Allied Warlord to the Palace Gates or Defeat Enemy Warlords
- Reward Lockout Duration: Approximately 44 Hours
Stage 3
