[VOTE] Warzone Spawning

Over complicating something that already works, where are my new raid rules?

[Brawms 741]

Warzones were fine in my opinion no need to make them overly complicated, but where are my new raid rules @Xarkly

There's a new rule overhaul coming soon and the new raid rules (from the last War Poll) will be included in that

Firstly, people need to stop using the excuse of "lotc isnt a pvp faction server!! D:<" This is a vote for the warzone, a pvp based event. If you oppose pvp, don't go to warzones? Simple as.  
 

I was one of the few people that suggested option one during the Flaynamis warzone. Theres a reason so many pvp servers use the drop down spawn. It works. If the opposing side is stupid enough to open their gates they should be punished for it and such we should allow camp raiding. Raiding/storming also prevents fort camping.  
 

Option three is a joke, right? What mad man thought of this. Sure your little paint drawing looks cute and all but it will just continue the dumb ass camping **** that plagues the current warzone system. Instead of gate pvp it will just be border pvp. No thanks.
There shouldn't be any safe zones in the warzone. If you enter a pvp zone, you should expect to die.
 

 

Basically perfectly said.

Yeah it looks like real-world warzones are a definite possibility so we'll be looking at doing them in the future.

 

For now though, continue voting on this poll.

the no man's land will be even worse then the current system. instead of camping gates it'll be camping borders and people pvping then running back into the border. portal option could maybe work, but seems like those portals would also be camped so whoever wins the first battle will win the warzone because they have control of all the portals. i like the idea of the drop down, keeps warzones how they are and allows for bases to be stormed. tbh though just going back to warzones being set up in the real world and being dynamic is the best way to go, i miss when **** was done on the real world and had effects on the terrain (for example after a battle the ground would be all torn up with broken barricades and tents and stuff, and forts would actually be destroyed unlike half of them are after warclaims now)

very interesting to see people who never actually go to warzones, let alone actually partake in pvp vote in a pvp poll

I would say that there should be one big border around the map that can easily be stepped trough to enter the warzone but would initiate a one minute cooldown before you can walk trough it again.
This way people can choose where they enter the warzone.
Perhaps have two forts on the map that can be parkoured into to open their gates so that a fort can be protected but also be broken into.

why can't there just be a long-ass tunnel and errybody gotta run down dat **** an smack dah fuhk out eachodah

Having no war zones seems much cooler to me. 

 

Especially if sieges want to be achieved with proper siege equipment. 

Battles were extremely rare. And still are.

As a player who never involves himself in PVP but did experience a number back in the day as a GM / Admin overseeing, the real-world real-impact approach seems far more immersive and appropriate for LOTC than pushing it into a war-world. Whilst issues with lag do exist, surely we can find a method of resolving this without completely eliminating roleplay from it.

 

I'll be honest, when I found out upon my return that wars had been moved to these secondary worlds I have never been so mortified. For a roleplay server to do so is absolutely ludicrous. Our battles should be carried out on the same world we roleplay in; be shaped by the terrain, landscape and other factors that are in play there; and be able to directly shape that world during the battle. To remove them to some battlefield world is not only ludicrous, it is another step in the LOTC-movement-away-from-roleplay process.

 

We need to reengage the community in what roleplay is supposed to be and surely one of the first steps we must take is to ensure the staff are leading from the front, enacting a roleplay-driven system that encourages and fosters what we're on LOTC for rather than moving important events such as battles to a secondary plain. Identify another solution for the lag, return to the main world.
