I made a post before Uth 2.0 launch inquiring if this would carry over from Uthgard 1.0, which it did not. I am now curious if this is something that would ever be considered reinstating at any time on 2.0. Thoughts?


"25% to RP gained in Emain Macha between 02:00 AM to 10:00 AM (EU time) / 08:00PM - 04:00AM (US time, east coast)"

There's already a low population rp bonus in emain

Ahh okay great, I was not aware. What is the current system?

Everyone in Emain gets a 25% bonus during NA time. Oh yah, except stealthers, because they aren't "visible" was the rationale used I believe, even though their kill spam is most definetly visible. As far as the actual times? I don't know, because as a stealther they don't apply to me.

Hours between 2am and 11 AM CET (Server time)

If you see no kill spam you may not know that people are out looking to RVR. If you go to Emain/AMG and see no one there, you might think there is no RVR. This is why stealth is explicitly excluded.

And, no, its not because we hate stealthers. I was the impetus behind this bonus for NA players as I play NA/West. However I too play a class that doesn't benefit from this due to stealth. I stand by the reasoning behind that determination.

By this logic, and this benefits me in no way since I solo, can stealthers get this bonus if grouped with a visible class in clip range? I see no reason 8man mincer or NS in a bard duo shouldn't get this bonus since it promotes all RvR.

I struggled with this as a Minstrel myself (who groups) but determined against it, because during low pop hours there are plenty of solo minstrels around (or stealth group).

So logic is that stealthers come out rvring anyway and visuals need bonus rps to bother go out.

Stealthers give action to a lot of visuals (just Ask Ogmora (warrier) and Eckso (skald) that fight stealthers alot)

If ppl see the spam form a visual or stealther dosent matter it promote the feeling of a ppl out there.

It doesn't make sense to me either.

Ah hah! So you play a minstrel ...the mystery intensifies. Now, do you poison your weapons? We need to narrow this down.

We run a SB in our 8 man quite often. So you're saying, 7 of us get the rp bonus in emain, but the SB does not?.....

Yes, for the reasons specified.

I min max everything... So yes...
