TDM: The final argument

[Raindance]

TDM is nothing like PvP, I don't know why so many people are saying that.

Technically it is still RvRvR with multiple players on each team, and it actually provides balanced fights with a fixed number of participants for each team. The only imbalanced issue is the map, which, as discussed several times before, gives a clear advantage for barbarians, but personally that shouldn't be a main reason as to why TDM shouldn't be re-enabled.

It's funny how most who are against TDM never even fought in a single TDM battle before.

P.S to NGD: if you do bring back TDM, make sure to make more instances: for level 40 - 55 (or something similar), re-enabling experience points for each kill as well.

How did you come to that conclusion?

[schachteana]

one should also get some realm points in instances, maybe 50% of the usual amount. It's a motivation for most players

Pretty much this.

[_Enio_]

I guess ill log more if TDM were enabled. My time is just limited anyways but the chance to get into instant action in an at least number-wise even environment would be cool.

Omg, you are seriously butthurt. Read that post again.
I wrote first "the warzone is dead and there is no acitvity" and your fucking response was that "..there's no one on (or not enough)". So basically you should learn to read.

Can you understand that I wrote first that TDM will be fine if there is no action, and not that TDM will be fine if there is noone online? You wrote that bullshit with noone online, not me.

TDM will only hurt CoR more. When they implemented it war zone was practically deserted and activity dropped down to zero. I only saw people staying at central save and dissapearing for tdm and back for afk...

TDM as usual is made for good populated servers like RA. I think it hurt RA too.

So no please do not bring this sh*te back.

And please enlighten me on how the present situation isn't the same / is better?

Also, what difference does ganking grinders with groups of 4-5 players make? Wouldn't it be better to open TDM, thus potentially removing gankers from grind spots in the WZ?

I see a reasonably even split here between people who would like to see Team DM come back, and those who think it is a bad idea.

For me, Team DM does not belong in CoR and should never have been introduced in the first place. There's no getting away from the fact that it would take attention away from warzone activity.

The funny thing is, if you re-enable TDM for "something to do when the warzone activity is low", we will end up creating a paradox for ourselves: Not enough war so people do TDM, people doing TDM so there is not enough war. It sounds like a vicious circle to me and would be a downward spiral countering all the work that NGD has done lately to try and make the warzone action a bit fairer and increase the tempo of the game.
