Impossible, Nice timed Master of Doom by a lock? Impossible.. Regnum was way more fun before WM, I think it's prime was exactly when hunters were not so Underpowered and Knights got a buff... Yep, had the best times then.

Another here, that's 12 (we have 12 goats??). Banners are really hurting RO, there is nothing to stop charging enemies so they rush the back lines and if it continues this way battles will be between 2 bannered, pyloned and aura'd packs of players. That is already starting to happen against Ignis as they are almost always bannered, it will get worse as the number of warmasters in other realms increases.

Why do you even bother with counting those who don't want Warmasters? I don't know a single player who does want it, lol.

There is lune, he's not joking at all.
He does really love beacons, even if he is the lone and unique player on Horus who find that is one of the greatest and most brillant idea by NGD, magnificently thought and designed.

It was a good idea, implemented badly; removal is the lazy solution, it can work.

50.
One to change the lightbulb and 49 to complain it was better beforehand.

Typical shit.

Holy shit, what is your problem. You always state its 'lazy' to disable the problematic addition, you dont specify your ideas which could fit as a replacement.

Removal is so far the best solution presented.

[Klutu]

For me the Warmaster Powers need definite nerfing and redefining

Beacons:

Offensive Beacon, should involve a minor movement boost (10%-15%) the 30% Crowd Control Resist (This beacon is suppose to make rushing easier )

Defensive Beacon, Remove the 2000hp boost completely it was a terrible idea, Add a 15% Resist Physical & Magical Damage & add something else minor to make it useful


Horn of the Wind: Remove it add a Minor heal spell for allies (7 range, 300hp 15-25 second cd)

keep the Teleports just don't allow them to be used inside forts, Make them work like Duel Banners and such

Because I'd be repeating myself, rather tedious - so I'll state it here and now just for you.

Horn of the wind does not need fiddling with, it's already taken a nerf, any more would only demean the war master status value.
The Offensive Beacon is of course the issue.
You yourself suggested a reasonable solution for a fix and my own suggestion put shortly, is to halve the resist rate.

This is an interesting idea as well.

Ideas such as this are far more productive than simply removing a piece of content.

Im not sure why you want to keep so much roulette in gameplay. I favour an effect halving cc durations which would considerably increase pressure of a rush without relying on pure randomness. Way more feasible imho.

I would actually like that very much, I agree the hole randomness factor does get old. But i'd rather see this warmaster powers revised over removed

[Psynocide]

Some people would like to see the removal of the chance factor in its entirety, but that wouldn't work.
