Not sure but i remember DAOC didnt add the PVP realm rank rewards until after about 5 months and Darkness Falls (Imperial City) at about 7 months. Hopefully we see both these thing sooner, i think the Imperial City will be a huge thing and add that needed flavor and will also draw alot of PVE people.

it wouldnt be so bad if the pvp gear didnt give such huge bonuses.

5 percent all damage reduction? seriously? thats a bit steep.

I'm content with the amount of patches and content they're constantly releasing. I want them to take their time on the Imperial City, considering their history with content being buggy or needing patches right off the bat.

I'd rather them release it with less bugs or work needed as possible.

Never been a fan of PvP gear. Furthers the divide between new PvP players and regulars. I'm fine with any changes to quest rewards for the most part. Mounted combat is probably a big project and would rather get normal combat completely smoothed out before undertaking anything like that.

I just want to see every skill working exactly as it should, combat and weapon swapping completely smoothed and lag/FPS issues resolved. Fix the foundation before you add another floor to the building.

What I would like to see is an upcoming pvp patch would be the introduction of 2nd tier ability morph point introduced. Each 2nd tier morph point would would be earned every 10 Alliance ranks. For example, alliance rank 10 you get a point, then at alliance rank 20 you get another point, so on and so forth.

It doesnt take long to achieve rank 10 or even 20 so at the 3 month mark there there are a ton of people between the ranks of 10-20. A lot of 10-20's means there's a lot of people feeling instantly more powerful. 1 point more powerful. But the amount taken to get to the rank 30's (3rd morph point earned) would take a dedicated pvp'er. Even longer for the 40's, and so on and so forth. To reach the top ranks it takes not only being FOTM, it takes months and months of being FOTM to even feel more powerful than the average pvp'er. And that's okay, because he put in A TON of time doing it. That guy went through the many patches and nerfs and strategy changes and the uncanny ability of AvAvA to evolve over months. All on one toon!

Sure it would feel like forever to get 4 points. That's okay, because the time a person takes to get that 2nd morph on their second ability, that person probably knows pvp like the back of his hand. I think hes/she earned it.

sorry for the rant...time for bed

Best thing they could do for pvp is to make sieges actual sieges and take some time. It is too easy to take a keep and should not be achievable in just 5-15 mins.. Right now sieges are totally messed up with it being easier to go through a wall than a door which is illogical. Walls should be difficult to the point you through the door as a first choice. Trying to break through a wall should take a long time. Rams should also stand up better to oil though and actually protect those in them due to their design to counter it. They need to look back at DAoC to learn how to get this right.
