Fixing WAR RvR Redux
—
As reported on the Warhammer Herald , open RvR XP is now double that of scenarios. This is after a previous boost last week of 50% which, in my excursions, still doesn’t seem to have dramatically increased open RvR (i.e. blasted people out of the scenarios). So continuing a trend of ...

    Has anyone else stumbled into unmarked RvR? I had a weird issue last night where I was crossing a bridge into what was clearly (from the map) not marked as RvR at all. Not that my problem was getting owned by players (regular MOBs took care of that) but I was just sort of confused.

      I have had that happen at three different locations, all near PQs.  As one of those times it was near an Order/Destruction competitive PQ, it meant that the other side would wait until we were working on a champion, then flag and attack us.

Fixing Warhammer Open RvR
MMO Explorer — ... While I believe that this is a good start, I believe that the biggest problem with the Warhammer Open RvR system is convenience.  p0tsh0t had a great article on fixing Warhammer RvR, and I thought that I would about an idea that I have to increase of the number of players who are participating in Open RvR. ...

We want to learn! — Book of Grudges
There’s been a ton of talk about open RvR in Tier 4 of late. Why? Because all us pesky early-adopters are hitting Tier 4 and we write and gripe about the things we do. And I do take the ‘wait-and-see’ approach, especially as there are more and more tentative forays into Tier ...

First-Best/Second-Best, at the Theater and in Open RvR — Kill Ten Rats
I have mentioned before that second-best might demand movements further away from first-best. That is, if you cannot get exactly what you want, the next best thing might be something very different rather than something close. You might prefer PB&J to a ham sandwich but prefer ham to jelly ...

Big world, small world, open RvR, scenarios — Book of Grudges
Scenarios have been one of the most wildly successful parts of Warhammer Online since the game went live. I love them too. I love that I can queue for a Scenario from anywhere in the game world and have 15 minute soundbites of PvP fun to break up my exploring and questing. It’s an ...
The Double-Edged Sword of RvR Map Alerts… — Snaffy's Space
Isn’t it great that we can survey the open-world RvR scene by pressing a button (m) and performing a few mouse-clicks? We can scope out where the major RvR battles are taking place by looking for clashing swords and explosive symbols on keeps. We can quickly see who owns what keep and ...
Open RvR experience boosted even further in Warhammer Online — Massively
One of the most common criticisms of Warhammer Online is that many players seem to spend ages just grinding scenarios, while the open RvR areas - clearly meant to be heaving with Order and Destruction players going at it - are much less populated. Mark Jacobs recently announced that the WAR ...
