[Walsingham]

Update: The test is proceeding. Some folks may or may not be able to connect for the test. We apologize for this, and it is something we are looking into. PTS is as PTS does.


Hey all,

It's time for another look at Conquest today, 6/15 at 4PM PDT on the PTS.

Let slip the dogs of war, and get in on the action in our newest PvP feature, Conquest! Three factions will be raging for control, and it's time to choose.

This is your chance to come face to face with the devs, and even myself (if you dare)!

Please share your experiences, feedback, or any issues you encounter during the test.

What time will Fluffy be up? I need enough time to make a new char (rogue this time) and set up specs/hotbars.

[Rhetoric]

I have found that turrets are completely immune to the warlock spell Life Leech. Is this intended?

Alright played around for a bit on a buffed rogue and a buffed warrior named Lawl. I think its much much better now, and HUGE props to adding a purple trinket and a purple sigil with new essences to chase after. I have to ask though will the reps in our cities also have the items for sale or will we only be able to buy them in the conquest. Also the reps don't say much, they should at least indicate that they have merchants in the actual conquest with select upgrades.

Still had a lot of fun tonight for a bit I was able to be there for and again HUGE props for listening to your pvpers and giving us a purple trinket, sigil and new essences. Also I feel it was a good move to add vengeance to them all, makes it not bis for pve but still good for pvp however you guys needs to do something about talents and pa and the like that increase our AP pools. Right now nothing is giving any benefit to vengeance other then getting more vengeance and this makes it far less attractive in pvp.

And yes they did get stat increases to end, str, dex and id assume the other stats in game in small amounts along with the vengeance, main difference in the trinket I saw was it lost all of the attack power it had on the previous version however gained 40 vengeance.

Devs? Anything on this?

I have an issue with crafting.
If the sourecestones are shared amongst the entire faction, how can we be sure that someone isn't going to spend all the sourcestones on, say, portable turrets/healing and store them up and not use them instead of the faction-wide buffs?

Also, you can summon them outside of Conquest.

Just to further expand (edit timer).
I first thought people were summoning the turrets outside of Conquest.
In actual fact, the turrets I saw were my own. The first one spawned near two people dueling in sanctum so I thought it was theirs, but it was actually where I had spawned after exiting Conquest.
I had actually summoned a turret in Conquest, then I left Conquest using the NPC.

I noticed this because I exited then relogged a while later to see a turret in front of Sanctum Porticulum. I thought of testing whether the Turret worked on the opposite faction so I went to Ember Isle to see the turret there.
I then went to a variety of porticulums just in case it was me, and not someone else putting them there to kill unsuspecting Defiants.

Yep, it was me. It keeps following me outside of Conquest. As soon as I port, it appears. Fully-upgradeable and all.
