AP Ticks

The way AP is awarded in this game needs a serious change. As it is now it awards bad play by making people wait in keeps long after they should have left to push an advantage and awards people for just showing up at the right time even without doing anything helpful. If the game could keep track of who was actually there for the fighting and award the ticks even after people have left the range of the keep and not to those who just show up right before the tick is awarded players would make much better choices.

    I too would like to see a rework of the tick mechanic. Looking at DC leaderboards and seeing the Scroll shamelessly fed ticks 24/7 by an entire guild going on what is it, 3+ months now, is pretty disgusting. Think of all the other players actually deserving of emp on DC.

    I agree. With how the d-ticks currently function, it prevents people from moving up to the resources following a defense.

    they should get rid of dtics and make o tics 10x bigger. or people will just keep letting everything get taken to defend an enemy keep just because a dtic. it literally is stopping strategic play.
    edit
    on second thought, too big of otics isnt good either. either way actually killing players is still by far the best ap. maybe if they just made a dtic happen as soon as repair happened that would make a big difference becuase people would push out more.

    I still think people should get d-ticks, you just shouldn't have to hang out for forever to get it.

    You mean the defensive tick system that has been criticised and asking for a more dynamic rewarding change since pre-release?

    Godspeed.

    I think they should get risk of D-tick and give players more AP bonus for killing enemy near their keep. Then even if you can't defend it successfully, there is still reward for people who show up and try.

    That would do nothing to boost strategic play, people would just stop defending alltogether and chain zerg enemy keeps clockwise around the map.

    Why not just award people a small number of points per keep/resource/scroll per day for having been in cyrodil?

    I hate that i can sit and 'defend' one side of a keep from the odd 1/2 players who try to get round the back when the zerg defense is dealing with the zerg offense and get less AP than my group who are part of that zerg.

    Or is that another way for ZOS to tell us to zerg vs zerg...
