New ro mechanics

[Evangeline]

Finally, we are happy to reveal that Champions of Regnum expansion will be ready to play as a VIP Preview later this month! This VIP Preview will reward current and former players for their loyalty over the years by allowing access the expansion early. There’s no cost involved, but we hope you will provide feedback necessary to optimize the content prior to the official launch.

More details on this please :C

and as for the dragon summoning, one can only speculate that it will go his own way to the ignis gate(inner side) and attack the defensive realm while the offensive realm attacks gate, but will it also attack the offensive realm when they cross the gate? and will it drop anything for the defensive realm that kills the dragon? if so it would drop a different realm boss item, or no haha lemme guess you got new items for the new summonable dragons, a new set perhaps? i bet im right

the relics, is there a place to hold them at or do players keep it on their inventory(doubt it), i would guess it is holded in any fort? can you hold more than one relic in one fort? so many unanswered questions :C

My first impression is that this will be awessome, but not completely balanced, every realm will be able to invade easily but the dragon drops, its still the same bullsh*t, only low lvl knights with triple drop boost get the drops @.@ i dream of the day that every class will have same chance of dropping

Got to say, this looks really nice and the champions site.... professional... updated regularly... informative... ok, who the hell are you and what have you done with the real NGD?

[errei]

nice news!!
i didnt understand, maybe some information is missing (?) but
if getting the relics is a thing to do B4 invading, will the invasions just seek the nobles?

[bois]

Too early, too sketchy and any commentary will be wild speculation. On that basis I can't give out random +1 for "cat in bag" either.

However, I do have 6 parameters that I will be looking closely at to decide in my own mind if this will succeed or fail.

1. Dragon as a siege weapon. Using it another way is going to require NGD to be cautious . Imagine you are an under-gunned defensive force facing a large troop build up plus a dragon. It is a MoB and if NGD doest modify things, if it kills you with a dragon stomp or something, consider you might pick up necrostacy.

2. Where will relics be stored and relic control in general. War Zone or Inner Realm of raider. Either way, if done a certain way, could be successful.

3. Impact on forts and levelling of them. The fact that a singular undetected hunter can solo capture a fort and bolt with a relic should be unnerving to some.

4. Impact on open field war and obsessive camping of Forts and Castles.

5. Dynamism of invasions. Will there be timers ? Well there be cooling off periods for sacked reams to recoup? Will there be a reduction of feedback loops. These are thing that I am going to observe as time rolls along.

6. Mechanics to invade aside, I am quite interested to know about gems, noble, wishes and other parts that come with invasions. If they are going to be more regular, there will be certain modifications of rewards and malus that will be necessary to reduce feedback loops.

yeah, if he summons those igneos and takes forts by himself, then magma rain 65835826852 gelfs and still keep the fort

What if the relics had weight? Just a thought, perhaps it could be harder for an archer to carry a 75kg relic, but very easy for a knight , but still the hunter could stalk the knight and horn him away...

And what about what happens to people who carry the relics, they gotta drop it somewhere but what if they dont? Will the relics return to the initial fort after a while?

Babbling some thoughts >.< gotta wait to see :C

That's why I wrote what I wrote in such a guarded way. Any one who has read my posts over the years will probably realise I have already run many scenarios based on the available information.That includes what could go wrong and what could go right. I have also formed some broad opinions which remains open to revision and as such, will remain with me.

There is simply not enough to go on to write anything concrete. So I just put those broad topics out there so the community can quietly contemplate them as more is revealed. I prefer not to speculate at this stage. When it goes on Amun , let's see what they got.

I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt until it's up in amun or more is disclosed about the expansion simply because there's been so much balance complaining and problems that they must have tried hard to do something about it. I hope

But from what I read this seriously sounds epic, to me at least. But then again so did the warmaster update, so I certainly hope they don't rush for some deadline and send in an unfinished and unbalanced version, that would be a killer to the game. But seeing as how big the changes are hopefully they're taking the balance way more into account with many scenarios this time.

It is a great news.. but... there is needed much more info to take some conclusions..

Let's hope this won't be causing even more unbalance than the one that already exists in Haven.

Or just a way for a realm to kill other's dragon...

Let's wait and take conclusions when there is more info!
