Conquest and You: A Quick But Detailed Tutorial

[Khelendross]

So I decided to make a quick tutorial for Conquest as I am still seeing alot of people unsure of what it has to offer and how it works. The Rift Livestream was very general and didn't touch on alot of things. So here is the video. Its just over 20 minutes in length and covers all aspects of Conquest. I did forget to mention two things:
Conquest has no size limit, and only one match can be up and running per wargroup at any given time. When a match ends the end stage PVE section lasts 10 minutes, at that point Conquest becomes available again, anew. Lastly, Bolstering is in effect up to rank 36 which means brand new levels need not worry about being worthless if they get caught in a pvp battle. That said here is the video:

As a PVE player unsure about what Conquest is all about, this video really helped! I think it's great the way that Trion are bringing together PVE and PVP players or helping PVE players take their first steps into the world of PVP.

Really looking forward to 1.9 and trying it out for myself....thanks!!

Excellent. Our Rift pvp community is better off for your efforts here. Much thanks.

I don't understand this at all. I've seen multiple Warfronts that cooldown for 30minutes, and multiple that cooldown for over 2 hours. What is going on?

Really, i spend way more time *not* playing conquest than i do actually playing it.. it's very annoying, and i have no idea why it's happening.

where is your guide? Oh right....

PSA: This was done before launch so Conquest has changed a great deal since. While some of the basics are still very true, there have been alot of fundamental changes not covered in this video.
