Adding more to the Warzone?

[Klutu]

I'm just curious how people feel about the warzones emptiness. I've always found the warzone to be bare and lacking in terms of excitement and things to do.

Forts & Castles are the only monuments in the Warzone that are labelled for war, Why don't we have Farms, Camps, Mines, Watch Towers, Villages ect adding to the warzone to make it feel like it's a serious battle to maintain land & resources.

Villages: Fortify the markets and turn them into small villages. Make them non capturable & put the Warmaster quests & future warzone related quests in these small cities for convience.

Camps:Just small Camps located in key grinding locations in the warzone. They'd allow faster health and mana regeneration and a "Warzone Chat" that would only be useable in Villages & Camps to relay information in the wz. These camps would be capturable but would be consider "Minor Monuments"

Mines: Just small capturable areas that would help with distributing magnanite to players. There could be a quest available where capturing all the mines in the warzone once would yield the player a small amount of Magnanite for completion.

Watch Towers: These Watch Towers would be captureable and would be located off of each bridge, Holding one of these Watch Towers, would allow the Fort it's connected to be fully upgraded once the fort was captured while holding the local Watch Tower

Farms: Farms would be capturable areas in each realm's warzone that would have the usual Vegetation & Farm Animals. Killing the guards & farm animals would capture the Farm for your realm, Holding each "Farm" would give 15% gold boost per farm held by a realm


These are just my ideas to expanding the warzone and giving it a more lively feel, I've suggested some of these in the past, But i still feel the warzone needs some kinda boost, It shouldn't just be a Fort/Castle ping pong there needs to be more objectives,

Just wondering what others feel about these ideas listed & feel free to add your own.

Well, not bad ideas, but I would like to see bugs fixed first. And since I got tired of all these for years not fixed bugs that was reportet thousands of times, I decided to give away everything. After that I will delete all my characters, quit and never come back (thats why I will delete them and not just leave them, so I have nothing to come back for).

i wish a WZ global chat system should be added. In my opinion, an improved communication system will facilitate more WZ activities

LOL, true that too.
But by the way, what if a something like /create bg concept like one of the rvr game i played years ago. A WZ guy (supposedly he/she becomes an action leader) can create a chat group for a purpose. And other WZ players can join/leave this chat depends on whether he/she likes or not. A option is that the chat leader can remove certain players from chat group in case they consider this member a spy or annoying etc.

Personally I would not see bringing war zone chat back as adding anything to the warzone. I hated it before ( personel opinion ) and would hate it again. Now I do agree there needs to be better ways to communicate in-game. Make it able to add more people to a party. Or make 3-4-5 parties be able to group up and turn into a Raid/Army where would get a Raid/Army chat tab. This would be much better IMo. A global chat is just 75% Spam/people trolling each other, 15% making it so you don't need to make friends or choose a good clan to be in cause it is constantly flashing across screen where enemy hunt parties or war groups are, and 5% new players trying to get advice on the game but being drowned out by the spam/trolling.
