Good evening!

This night we changed RvR bonus to the new system, which looks like that:

Stat-bonus was completely removed.

Every RvR-zone has a 25% local XP-bonus (Braemar to come).

Emain Macha:
Each keep: 4-20% realm-wide XP-bonus in ticks
Each keep: 6% RP-bonus
Each tower: 1% RP-bonus

That means you can get (from keeps) an overall bonus from 40% XP and 18% RP (20% when the TKs get moved). Dun Bolg and its tower do not give bonus any longer, but are useable as before right now.

No changes for Wilton except the 25% local XP-bonus.

No changes for Braemar.

That was the beginning of the RvR-changes, more to come.

hmm i see 10% for keep in emain now , and keeps are captured 5 hours ago
as i count its total 90 bre , 90 wilt, 65 emain ... emain bonus stil geting lower and is now realy lower then others ....

Is the Emain bonus decreasing instead of increaseing over time?

Emain Keeps currently have 10% each max realm XP Bonus. So it sums up to 20% max realm XP bonus. The BG's have level based XP Bonus. Also In Emain and Wilton you have additional 25% XP bonus regardless who owns the keeps.

but its writen in first post 40% total so i am kinda disappointed.
And seeing that each bonus change is getting bonus less and less i am afraid what will be in future ...

We redecided. Emain will get 15% XP per keep for the whole realm (+30 if both keeps are taken). But Emain also gets an always available 40% XP Bonus when you level in Emain instead of the previous announced 25%. That sums up to 70% XP Bonus if both keeps are hold by your realm. BG's get the XP Bonus per keep lowered from 25% to 20% cause you will get 10% more from emain keeps now. The RvR Zone bonus in Wilton stays at 25%. RvR Zone bonus in Brämar is still to implement. All XP Bonuses stack.

omg..... 70% is nice =D
I think now I'll lvl my 40+ char(s) in emain ;D

depends on point of view, i stil remind old good 130% ;p

Elwin: The difference is that the 40% are always available and to all realms at the same time. Regardless which keep your realm owns. One goal was to lower emain keep dependency for XP bonus. Especially in the emain zone.

This is my favourite.
21% on Str and Acuity was way too good.
Full buffed Tanks with 400+ Str went to 500 and more.
Casters with 300+ Int could almost get to 400.
The resulting damage was a bit much.

Btw, i noticed some other changes not documented:

- Charge timers down from 180 seconds to 60, is it a bug or will it stay?
- DF always open to all realms, is it a bug or will it stay this way?

The DF owner rules were not decided yet. Most possible solution will be that DF gets closed for enemy realms after a realm owns both emain keeps for x minutes. (x maybe 15)

You have no idea ...

And you cant calculate too, even 350 + 21% is 423 and not 400
