Hello,

Here is my review, i'm surely not part of the core player but this is how i lived this S03 so far

Player Profile

• On hib since mid S2

• Online regulary between EU and East Coast prime time

• pvp player, enjoy Roaming 1/2/5/8

Points

• Realm Balance
  • hib is way too far behind, we're being rolled over everywhere
  • Balance issues (Charge, CCs, Instas, Pets) are for me not adressed

• DF (like SH was S02)
  • Now undisputed it makes economy extremly difficult
  • tempting is a nightmare (3 weeks to do legion, each time i went in, the BG wad rolled over by Mid/Alb)
  • currency change rates are no help

• Koth
  • this event was scheduling group building (even if end season i could do only one per day due to last schedule)
  • if you have no friends to group with, you're bound to wait hours at relic village if you're not a BG fan
  • There's no event that makes ppl meet for pvp outside BG apart daily throw aways groups

• Realm vs Realm mechanics
  • Fix points strengthen both zerging and throw away groups
  • Again no event outside BG to build up

• Battlegrounds
  • We could end here when NF was atrocious on S02
  • RR Caps prevent you from staying there, forcing you to ?

Hope it helps

Odd thing i find is new campagin system limiting some pve elements to groups 16 and not allowing the smaller BG to do some pve to build and get realm points.

Smaller BG can only flame tower get zerged now. Go Ev do towers get zerged. or most time players log go pve.
When smaller BG could do the new campagin pve elements it allowed the BG to grow get new players and few realm points.

If the two enmy Bgs have numbesr like 250 180 or even 150 and smaller one is in range 50 to 80 i don't see the problem given the underpopulated rvr BG realm the chance to do the pve campagin events.


Or you just find the smaller Bg players log go pve or just don't play. current campaign system desiged break bgs Up . But it does not work when biggist zerg dominates still.

I done taste blood few times and Biggist zerg and side with most players seems win every single time still. Even when small groups spread out flags. Docks spawn points camped.
I been on winning side and it was boreing zerg fest for 20 mins the 3 times i won. And on the looseing side like 3 times as well where stuck mile gate portal and we just tried get out are starting zone.

Also no decent realm points rewards for defending keeps is hurting defense i know this is suppose be included end week campaign points . But people seem prefer the instant reward for haveing to defend a keep or relic.

I found templating easier this season with no high level rogs belive it or not .
I really like new campaign idea and rewards at end it .
