Based on Joy Division's Thread
Game Changes:
GENERAL:
1. No Stealthing (Crouch stealth) Only invis pots or cloak as means to go stealthed
2. Increase the cost of each succesive roll by another 10% and all gap close abilities get streak treatment
3. Block cost scales after 8 seconds of continuous blocking, starting at 10-50% over the next 5 seconds (8-9 sec 10%, 9-10 20% ETC) Lowering block for 5 seconds resets this penalty counter
4. All slows are halved in duration and effectiveness (IE. Soul assault 70% > 35% / 4 sec > 2 sec)
5. Roots are halved in duration and you gain 4 second immunity after roll dodge
6. Full healing is limited to only members in your group and is halved when healing someone outside of your group
7. Remove aoe caps; instead the more players around you starting at 10+ you begin to take 10% - 70% (40% at 25 players in proximity, increasing in 5 person to 10% intervals)
Note: Hopefully this entices players to spread out on the map as well as location so as to minimize the damage they would take for having non group players near them. Rewards players for capitalizing on more areas of the map and running less numbers as well as reducing large scale fight delays thus minimizing lag from scaling calculations.
CAMPAIGN:
8. Quest Boards (10 min wait period while teams accept/If the objective picks up players w/o the quest that faction is penalized and forfeits their right to win a reward.)
QUESTS:
-8a. Escort missions from point A - B
-8b. Capture a location and hold for x minutes
-8c. Infiltration missions deep into enemy territory (secure enemy faction general war plans)
Note: The option to accept one of these quests provides both enemy factions the option to accept your quest but they are victorious by defeating all enemy players with that quest. (Example: Dc grabs escort mission for a group size of Ad and EP both accept the counter mission to slay the Dc team before they are successful in completing their task. Ad/Ep winner is decided on which team had the most killing blows on dc (they are allowed to wipe the rival team out before fighting Dc)
REWARD: Each mission rewards the ‘Quest initiator’ teams faction with one of the following:
-Minor ap buff 8% for 1 hour
-Reduced siege cost at merchants for 30 minutes by 20%
-Additional guards to all ally keeps for 30 minutes
Ep/Ad ‘Quest Counter’ Team
-minor ap buff
-Guards hp is halved
-Increase siege cost by 20%
9. Reinstate Pelinal boxes in pvp rewards
10. Add additional towns like cropsford but change these towns into keep buffs/debuffs based on who owns it (Ex: Cropsford and BRK are owned by Ep, Sej/Alessia are under Ad control) both enemy keeps are afflicted and take 20% increased siege damage and guards are demoted to level 1 meanwhile ally keeps mitigate 20% more siege damage and guards are promoted to level 5.
Note: Make these towns surrounded by moats/walls like cheydinhal with open gates/entrances
11. IC sewers with entrances into parts of the cyro map outskirts to allow scrolls passing through/easily move “troops/groups” from parts of the map to another and burst keeps”
-Cannot leave sewers into imperial city with the scroll and it has a reduced duration before it resets. 20 minutes. Can be used with faction combat strategies and spreads players across the map by enabling and encouraging travel to attack another keep outside of the emp ring.
12. Make home keeps (farragut, warden, black boot etc) apply a buff to a factions emp ring keeps. Buff applies for owning 1/2/3 keeps with a 5/10/15% buff to guards/wall strength/and increases ally siege damage.
13. Optional: All 3 resources around a keep must be captured to flip the keep flags.
-Spread guild/allies out to coordinate a keep capture and prevent one ball zerg from rolling into a keep uncontested. An opposing small group or another guild could prevent/delay a keep take by forcing the enemy faction to make decisions and choices with how many people to send and how to take all resources while maintaining a siege and defending the resources they have captured. Adds a unique communication process in zone and between group leaders.
14. Remove no cp 7 day campaign
15. Remove Xarxes/Kostav
16. Reduce Vivec pop size cap by 20%
17. Turn Shor into a 30 day campaign with the same pop size as modified vivec
18. Create a 7 day campaign the size of an emp ring inwards. Cap group size at 8 and every group is against one another. Your group runs under a guild name and gains ap to stake a ladder position on the weekly board. Generate new terrain, bridges, runes, gates, towns, open towers to fight on and randomize spawn points for the groups. No siege/guards/keeps
Optional: Place 3 flags on the map that randomly spawn at different locations every 20 minutes. Guilds/groups will play king of the hill on these flags to generate more points for their ladder rank in addition to the ap that they gain. Flag points can only be generated if they are contested.
19. Reduce siege damage in no cp by 20%
20. Add ladder/rope siege for scaling keep walls.
-Requirements: A keep wall must have 15/20 siege on it and the wall must be burst.
-The ropes/ladders can only be used on the burst wall side
-Only 4 total can be used regardless of being destroyed or knocked off.
-A cooldown of 30 minutes to use ropes/ladders to get up
-Rope allows 1 person. Ladder allows 3
-Defenders can interact with the placed siege and break them to stop invaders
Note: Adds a unique combat interaction that allows for a group to send a striker team onto the walls to harass defending siege lines.
21. Guards in no cp are scaled to no cp player strength
22. Delve buffs: Gain less ap vs players with the buff. If you have the buff you gain 25% more ap vs all players even if they have the buff on as well.
Note: Ap makes players happy as we’ve seen from the events (gain ranks/currency). By encouraging players to go into delves and refresh their buff. This will generate more fights off to the side of the emp ring, where most delves reside near the fight and factions can fight for buffs/camp buffs/and draw fights elsewhere consistently. Puts less strain on single points of the map and breaks up player density.
23. Reduce delve boss spawn time to 5 minutes
24. Factionless: You can choose to fight in a factionless group with up to 8 people.
- All factionless fight against other factionless as well as the alliances.
- Factionless players have spawns at the imperial guard camps around cyro.
- Factionless are marked with a grey shield above their head.
25. Emperor: Gained for a faction not a player. The person in first place will gain the strength of emp but when he/she logs off the next person in line will gain emp (not the rewards) so on and so forth until it reaches a player on the ap rank ladder who is online. If a player with more ap logs into that campaign he immediately takes over emp status.
