By: Brian "Zombie Columbus" Aloisio
Goals

• Put PvMP itemization on a separate progression path from PvE itemization.
• Slow the pace of PvMP combat without impacting the PvE experience.
• Add a seasonal mechanic to the Ettenmoors

Three Issues with PvMP
After sitting down and reviewing the PvMP rewards, we came to a few conclusions. First of all, we have a singular itemization path that is accessible through either PvE or PvMP. In our current offerings, we had to ensure that the PvMP items did not devalue the PvE offerings. Because of this, we have both reduced their potency and increased their gating mechanisms. This leads to PvMP rewards that are either underpowered or too difficult to acquire.
Additionally, PvMP combat is a bit too fast paced. The damage changes in the last expansion were good for the game, but have made PvMP go a little too fast. Crowd Control effects are also still highly potent despite the diminishing returns system.
Lastly, PvMP lacks any kind of a seasonal mechanic to shake things up between expansions. To help with all of these issues, we will be introducing a special new trait: Audacity.
The One Solution
Audacity is a new “stat” that shares a lot of functionality with ranked traits like virtues. In addition, it has some aspects of a rating (see Seasons below.) Increasing ranks of Audacity will reduce incoming damage and crowd control durations while in the Ettenmoors. Freeps and Creeps will spend Commendations to improve their Audacity, though in different ways.
Nuts and Bolts
With Update 6, the War panel will have some cosmetic updates as well as a place for the new Audacity trait. All Creeps will gain rank 1 of Audacity automatically and all Freeps will get rank 1 when they hit level 40. Mousing over Audacity will show the current rank benefits and the benefits of the next rank, much as virtues do. The current max rank of Audacity is 7, but this will change over time (see Seasons below.) The benefits it will provide are:

• Reduce incoming player damage by a multiplicative percentage.
  • Damage * Mitigations * Audacity = Damage Dealt

• Reduces the duration of Crowd Control effects
  • Mod that reduces the duration (stun, fear, root, daze) by a percentage.
  • Audacity is applied after diminishing returns takes effect

The bonuses Audacity grants are being balanced to give out a significant amount of the full bonus at the first, automatically acquired rank. This should help make sure that new players in the Ettenmoors do not need to grind before becoming viable. Ranks past 1 will continue to noticeably increase the defense values, making the gear and ranks highly valuable.
Acquisition of Audacity ranks will work differently for Freeps and Creeps. The effects of different ranks are identical though; neither side will have more or less effective defense bonus granted.
Freeps
Freeps acquire their Audacity ranks through itemization. The new PvMP armor sets will each have +1 Audacity and will exclusively cost Commendations. Later updates may include Audacity on additional item slots, but for now the basic six armour slots are the only places the stat will appear. When a new season starts, gear with higher Audacity will become available.
Creeps
Creeps have no gear, so their Audacity ranks are purchased at their class trainers. The “Passive” section will sell ranks for a high amount of Commendations. Once purchased, Audacity ranks are always active, much like Battlefield Promotions.
Seasons
Besides the various pacing changes Audacity brings to PvMP, it is an opportunity to create a seasonal rotation. Veteran players will be able to rank their Audacity higher and higher, while the potency of low rank Audacity will keep new players viable.
At some point in the future, likely the next expansion, we will increase the max Audacity rank. The bonuses that Audacity grants will then be re-distributed so that the new max rank provides the same defense bonuses the old max rank did. New PvMP gear with +2 Audacity will be made available for Freeps, and Creeps will be able to purchase past rank 7. Lastly, we will balance the defense values at the now lower ranks to provide enough potency to stay viable. This should make entering the Ettenmoors for new players easier, while providing ample advancement opportunities to veteran players! ]]> Creep Goobly-Gobley Slashed http://www.pouncingpwny.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1103 http://www.pouncingpwny.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1102&goto=newpost Wed, 29 Feb 2012 13:36:04 GMT Anyone keeping up with all the changes they are talking about for the moors and more specifically the Creeps.

Just thought I would put a thread up (I don't recall another being up regarding this stuff) about other games. Not PC, talking PS3.

Sometimes I travel a bit for work but can't always get on lappy for lotro (cos it's tied up for work or streaming feeds from Shak's mom's house) but I generally always take my PS3 when I'm living the pimp life out of hotels.

So anyway... My PS3 name is SarsPwny (see, I can never leave the tribe because it will make my name look dumb). Hit me up for a game, I am currently smashing Wargs and Virdun usually on Battlefield 3 but open to try other games I don't or do have if ya let me know.

I am just going through the forums of my creep tribe on the EU server I play on to see if there are any good nuggets to share/discuss with you. Unfortunately the pvp there has all but died, so the once great world leading tribe is mainly inactive - hence the reason you have me now!

One thing I picked up is the tactic of the charge, and if it fails why. We used to use this with devastating results, but you are familiar with it - its what The White Hand used to do. In the few raids I have done with the tribe I have seen that the necessary levels of aggression are there to make it work for Pwnys - and stop all this trash talk that Zerg or some other tribe is now primacy on Landy. If we can get the charge right - freeps will poo themselves and their ooc will report - OMG the pwnies are out!

The essence of the charge is that EVERYONE gets into the middle of the freep raid, yes everyone. You need to be in one small blob to start, and stay together as a blob into the middle of the raid. Adherence to the RAT is key, and you just step through the freeps in priority order, healers, LM, burgs, hunters, guards, champs (used to be champs, guards, but with the bubbles now champs are tougher), and capts last. The priorities are so in order to ensure that what you hit is going to go down quickly - the ones that are going to stay around longer are at the end - this is so you dont spend a minute smacking a capt in last stand while half their raid is still going.

The charge works for 2 reasons - first, the shock and awe of a large amount of creeps charging at you will loosen some of their bowels slightly - if some run, that is less to hit you - as you are going for the healers first, it helps. Second, and can possibly be classed as an exploit, therefore we do charges for reason 1 :) if the freeps are static and you are mobile and in sufficient numbers and quick enough, the chances are they will lag in loading you, and will suffer a drop in fps and so cant react. Normally, you can get the healers before they start hitting back. I dont condone exploits, but this is a fortunate/unfortunate side effect of reason 1 :)

The next post is the cut and paste of how it goes wrong - not my words, and from 2008, but the basic tenets hold true. ]]> The Gimp Box Rhakshasa http://www.pouncingpwny.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1068 http://www.pouncingpwny.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1067&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:04:56 GMT Just saying hi, to see that I can post......hi I fear that I will not get to meet some of you due to the antisocial timezones some of you keep,...

I know a few of you play TF2 with me at anbservers.net and I wanted to let you all know that they are enacting a Reserve Slot system on their servers. The reserve slot costs $7.00 USD a month or $84.00 USD a year. The reserve slot gaurentees you a slot on the 1.1, 1.2, Payload and 2.0 servers. Check out the store here

A current list of all anbservers is located here

They also have L4D, CSS and Minecraft servers.

They also have a gameserver for rent. For $24 a month. If interested please go to anbservers.net and speak with Munra be cause I am not sure about the details on that one.

I am advertising this here because I know there are a couple of PWNY members who used to play with us over there. anbservers is not a buisness that sells game slots (regularly) but a group of people who love playing TF2 and other games. We have our own servers and put the games we want onto them. We have a large community of regulars and play only stock maps. ]]> Creep Goobly-Gobley Slashed http://www.pouncingpwny.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1034
