Freenown After 1.3.6

Who is Mythic kidding?  Do you really think having to be in the rvr lakes is going to increase activity?  I am amazed how they think by eliminating guarding the mailbox is going to solve Orvr.

Did Mythic forget they make it real easy with timers?  Players only need State of the Realm, the War Report, and follow region chat to know where to be, and exactly how long for the timers.  It isn't rocket science.

All I have to do is venture out a little when I see the timers hit a minute or so left.  I will make just as much freenown post 1.3.6 as I do now.  Even if I die I will earn it.  The timer on rezzing is my best friend.


The only way you are going to get people out in the Orvr zones is to remove the timers.  Add a little Arathi Basin coding to the zone.  If you own 2 keeps, and 3 bo's the timer moves 200% faster, or something like that.  Make it so no one really knows when the zone is going to flip.

The Impact Of Assist Trains

Assist trains have become more dominant in Warhammer Online lately.  How many times have you run into a melee /assist train?  It seems to be quite popular these days in scenarios.  Third party addons has made this easymode for any noob in a scenario.

I haven't heard players complaining much about the nerf coming in patch 1.3.6.  Did most players not even see it in the patch notes?  Basically /assist is being removed from being able to be used in third party addons.  I have to say it is about time.

Focus Fire will have a whole new meaning.  No longer will any player be able to have the addon, and wreck havoc on the opposing faction if a few others in the scenario have the same addon by pushing one button.

It will now take more coordination.  Players will actually have to type target names, or call them out on vent.  It will no longer be as easy as typing the person you are assisting into your addon, and firing away with no skills required.

Players will now have to listen, or read while trying to actually find, and  target the player being focused.  No more instagib how did I die that fast garbage with five melee running the same focus /assist addon.

Are you happy about the /assist nerf coming in patch 1.3.6?
