The Spirit of Conquest

[Hikos]

So lately I feel there have been some violations of what are the moral values which underpin conquest. So, just to confirm that everyone is well aware of what these are, and the etiquette that needs to be followed in a conquest match I am going to lay down some ground rules.

In chronological order from the beginning of the match:

1. The initial aim is to obviously tag all three minibosses, if you're not Oath then this becomes infinitely harder, but still manageable if people follow these simple guidelines.

DO NOT pop anti-planar and attack the boss.

DO NOT attack the boss more than once.

DO allow opposing factions to come and tag the minibosses.

DO suicide off cliffs if it means where you spawn is close to the next miniboss.

2. Out in the open world during the match there are still simple ethics to abide by.

DO NOT dismount anyone of the opposing faction, this is considered highly rude and is frowned apon by all sides. I expect Trion to implement a PVP immunity while you are mounted shortly in conquest, but while you are still able to be dismounted everyone must be conscious of their aoe.

DO feel free to attack anyone who is dismounted, but if they try and mount, are in a tank spec and tell you to go away or simply run - chasing is not the answer. If they wanted to stay and fight they would have done just that.

DO NOT actively participate in capping points. This only serves to drag matches out, which is good for no one. And besides what are your efforts going to change as just one person.

DO NOT afk in the base, you get kicked far too quickly. On the flip side NO ONE should be reporting anyone "afk". Chances are they are probably just resting in preparation for the final battle.

DO NOT try to capture CM at any stage unless you are on my team, then ONLY try to capture and keep CM and let the other team win fast.

DO NOT do ANYTHING once a team reach 50%. The game is so close to being over, anything you do now might **** it up. So stop.

DO NOT force respawn ever. Still earning favour and prestige while you are dead is clutch, and should not be interrupted.

3. The end game, probably one of the most contentious issues facing us today in conquest and the rules must be stringently followed in order to maximise enjoyment.

DO NOT pop anti planar and attack the idols.

DO pop anti planar and attack Archlich (he has to die after all).

DO run a set course starting in CM and finishing up by Oathsworn tagging maximum idols and the boss on the way.

DO feel free to scare other players by taking them to 50% health, But NEVER kill them - their soul walk might be down.

DO follow the other rules layed out in the guidelines - Especially the demounting rule.

DO attack each other while emoticons while you are riding next to enemy players in this stage - some examples include /poke and /dance.

I think this should clear up a lot of the issues people have been having with conquest and reignite the atmosphere that Trion was intending to create if we all follow this very simple conquest etiquette.

Once everyone has their marks we can go back to enjoying 5 v 5's in warfronts.

Cheers, and get on my level.

Hikos.

There's a special place in hell for people who DPS the idols.

This should be considered as Bible of Conquest. Of course after eliminating arrogance parts ;)

The ten Conquestmandments

I. Thou shalt have no other faction but Oathsworn. And if Oathsworn's full, go Dominion, but woe to thee who goest Nightfail.

II. Thou shalt not make to thineself or any of thine raid-mates idiotic comments whether it be'est "ZERG CM" or "OMFG CQ SUCKS I HATE TRION".

III. Thou shalt not take the name of Caer Mathos in vain. Seriously, people are zerglings. If you say "go to CM," they will, so don't freakin' abuse that privilege.

IV. Remember to observe the coming of the queue pop, and make haste spamming K when it cometh.

V. Honor thy raid leader, for he who taketh upon the mantle of leadership to guide you poor and ungrateful zerglings walketh the boulevard of broken dreams, thanklessly and alone.

VI. Thou shalt not kill...Anyone who is moving to a foci to tag it.

VII. Thou shalt not steal empowered sourcestone from thine comrades, by making crappy mounted speed buffs.

VIII. Thou shalt not falsely say in guild chat "Cometh Oathsworn! For we have conquered our foes and embarketh to the land of milk and honey!" without rightly knowing that Oathsworn indeedeth not be full, because there's no leave queue button and I swear if I get stuck in queue for two full hours one more time, I'm going to break my keyboard.

IX. Thou shalt not falsely vote kick any member of your raid.

X. Thou shalt not ranteth in CQ chat about any of thy neighbors possessions, whether it be his wife, or his manservant, or his prestige rank, or his trinket, nor his ox, nor his [donkey] or anything that is thy neighbor's.

If it were possible to actually win the forums, you just did

There are no rules, just putting yourself at disadvantage if you make any and abide by them.

The first rule of Conquest is you don't not talk about Conquest.

This should be in its own thread, stuck and closed to this forum.


Now as for the OP's post:

DO pop anti-planar/holy champ if an extraction point has the golden crown on it. The golden crown reduces all incoming damage by 50% (if not more, looked like 50% to me). APA/HC reverses that setback for a normal kill speed.

Have a sense of humour, dude.

[Fates]

bump

How is this thread not taking off! I seriously think people do not like having a good time in this game. Top threads are always negative its pathetic.

Have a sense of humour, dude.

That is my sense of humor. Internet doesn't translate well.

Today I spent time on my assassin picking off Oathworn trying to get to the CM boss. That is also my sense of humor. Funny how angry people get when they die in CQ. I WAS PVP'D IN CONQUEST YOU JERK WTF. I gotta get my kicks. These commandments defy them

[Vayra]

Here's my take on CQ as a Nightfall player:
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

I will kill everything you hold dear, I will crush your dreams, I will eat your soul, and when I'm done I'll have my way with your sister.

[Valnak]

You can votekick in conquest?

I have got to do this.
