6/29 - Conquest Issues [UPDATED]

[Kanabull]

I posted this quote in another topic, but since then it went whhoooooossssshhhh and the topic disappeared, so I am reposting here, this is the opinion of one player who has a high stance in this community:

"I am appalled at the depth of selfishness and greed in the playerbase of this game. It doesn't matter what the content added is, once somebody figures out a loophole to make something easier to earn, the vast majority take to it like ducks to water.

You all know perfectly well that we were NOT meant to spawn camp to gain massive amounts of favor and prestige. You all hate it when the tanles turn and its your faction's turn to get camped.

Spawn camping for rewards is cheap, ugly and proves that you have no morals or conscience imho.

Anyone who has been doing it should lose every scrap of rewards they 'earned' from it.

I also won't be surprised if this marks the end of TRION developing any further world pvp content. Why continue to feed the people who refuse to play the GAME and just make it unplayable for others?"

Or maybe this should send a message, that the there is a equal # of people that do not want to spend 6 months grinding the same **** over and over again just to be competitive. Believe it or not, people will still play this game with a carrot hanging over thier head.

I'm not saying that spawn camping is right or wrong, but after **** like this happening every time they release something, you would think some one would catch on and say "Hey, maybe people dont like grinding thier ****ing fingers to the bone, just to have more gear\levels release so we can start all over."

Folks,

Hot Fix coming today - New and Improved Mega Turrets and some additional changes to improve stability, reduce latency and otherwise offer a more entertaining experience for everyone!

We know the spawn camping was pretty rough for those caught in it (happened to some of us a few times too) - it's always been our priority to resolve it since getting the initial stability issues squared away this weekend.

Expect downtime announcements shortly - thanks again all!

Great to hear and thank you

However still lagging so badly you can barely move, (min settings and no addons on), crashing too..

Game reloading sticking at 94/97 percent and for the record...NF still gets farmed to the point they get nothing out of the warfront but dead.

Great news!

I hope you deal with the spawn campers as well? Knowingly killing players before they can defend themselves, and doing it over and over should be dealt with.

Please deal with them, and the favor/prestige they gained doing it. Trion and it's commnuity should be better than that.
Like I said earlier, PVP should be killing your opponent, then offering a hand to get them back up, then start the fight all over again.

I did not make my original post because I don't want to grind gear. I made it because I want to be able to actually PLAY in conquest instead of spending the entire match in a dead-respawn-dead cycle without even having a chance to load into the game and see who is killing me.
How you came to the conclusion that you did is beyond me. Nowhere in my post did I complain about grinding.

Conquest queue just jump from 1 hour to instant game

[Sheepinator]

Great news

But can you now give us some prestige and favour for destroying/capping extractors or just raise the rewards back to where they were, now that no one can exploit the rewards by camping


I do worry that now it'll either be very difficult to engage in any pvp, and will be 3 groups running round capping different stuff, which will destroy favour and prestige gains from Conquest.

It will be fixed only if this scenario is no longer possible:

That does not happen on the PvP Cluster.... SeaStone

[Student of the Vale]

At least ACKNOWLEDGE that you're gonna do something about the people who got R50 through this clusterfark Trion. It's not just PvP. People were handed ID level weapons for literally a few hours of work. This will bleed over into PvE as well. I don't mind that PvP weapons have hit, it's fine, but it's an alternative that should only be available if you're willing to work for it, not a reward for standing in a group while your favor racks up for doing literally nothing. Again, not asking for the details or what you're gonna do, just SOME form of confirmation that this situation will be handled.

Hope the hotfix isn't during peak hours/raidtime.

If it makes raiding actually possible I won't mind

As much as I want conquest "fixed", it would be nice to not have the servers brought down TWICE during our raiding hours in the same raid week. Any chance you can give some additional advanced notice on when "a few hours" is? Why would you bring servers down during prime-time for anything other than game breaking fixes is beyond me.

We've managed to raid just fine without server lag during conquest.
