took my 10 seconds about to decide, was so easy to pick for last one
fix the dam lvl ranges on sites. ie. if site is 100 - 150 ONLY they can do pvp there, should cut off stupid support of any higher ranges then and aim on proper fights.
New Instance
Monthly Boss Events
Pathfinding
New Shadowlands Mission
Towerwars changes
How long will it take for them to bury the whole thing 6 feet under?
[ ] A: 1 Month
[ ] B: 3 Months
[ ] C: 6 Months
[ ] D: I'm already digging that hole!
But what comes to original poll, 2. sounds most interesting to me. While option 4. being really really close to it.
People like to hold on to their towers for as long as possible with as little effort as possible. Every side that owns TL7 towers has moaned about griefing for as long as NW has been around, MBing is extreme griefing, and it seems to work.
Clan have owned TL7 for a while, with no proper omni attempts to take them back, MBing seems to be working in this aspect, and clan don't like it, because they can see the power shifting, the simple option would be to start MBing themselves, most people i'd say have more than 1 account, but as per my initial sentence, it's too much effort.
I don't condone MBing, nor am I against it but this seems like a desperate attempt to keep towers.

Tip #743: As noted in Tip #244, tea bags have an infinite variety of uses. However, there's always one jerk who will want to give you crap over drinking tea. Particularly if in a new town, use this as an opportunity to assert yourself. Any drunken idiot can win a bar fight. It takes a real man to win a bar fight while enjoying a cup of Earl Grey.
Dear Devs
I would like you to know that I have not voted on this poll.
First because I think it was made to distract the silly people from raging on the monthly threads and not a real poll to find out what people want.
Second because I think that what AO needs most is new players and giving some of the existing players what they want will contribute nothing to bring in new players and maybe even make some of the current players quit.
Third because in my opinion none of the proposed options should be worked on first. Don't know why, but I have this feeling you should look at the list of things to do and start from the bottom.
You should really start with fixing the game. Reward people for playing and teaming not buying loot rights and cred farming. Create alternatives for leveling and give decent gear. Promote twinking and PvP by supplying information and making all gear accessible to all (not necessarily easy to get). Farming AI armor and Tara loot should not be a business for the players who have nothing else to do.
But, yeah, I'm wasting my time. Here is what I think of your proposals.
1: New instance. Really needed since there as been no new content for a while. You should think about that AFTER Rebance and fixing the game. It will be just another farm otherwise.
2: Monthly boss events. A great idea... not really. It could be a good idea if it consisted in some random spawning mobs, like a random messenger from one faction running all over RK with really good loot, a reward for exploring. Spawning an event boss with some loot while you are at work is not a good idea for player retention. Loot rights selling is already easier than it should be.
3: Pathfinding. Of all things in your list it probably should be the one with the highest priority, it should be a part of rebalance and come right after fixing powerleveling, loot right selling and all the other broken gameplay.
4: New shadowland missions. This might actually be more important than pathfinding. If the idea is to create a balanced leveling AND gear acquisition process. Prolly ends up being another railroad to endgame or loot right selling business. And why make it team only?
5: Making changes to towerwars. The real thing. Yeah, do that. With PvP in the hands of the most elitest of the eliters it will end up contributing nothing to make AO popular, increase the revenue for FC or raise your paycheck. Go ahead.
The NW crowd was complaining that it became PVT instead of PVP for awhile, but honestly that sounds more interesting. I remember how SWG implemented land control - you could set up a whole base with an inner playfield that required certain professions to take down, which could really fend for itself for an extended period due to the power of the NPCs inside and out. As a result there never had to be hot and cold times.

hehe i clicked wrong, i kinda want shadowland missions before tower wars. but i gues it doesnt matter.
thou i kinda voted just to vote, i dont realy find the game fun before they change and rebalance the professions and give new perks/tools so i get to learn to pvp diffrently.
If funcom are looking to improve notum wars the very first thing they should do is remove /assist from the game. It literally dumbs it down to the point where players don't have to pay attention or put any effort whatsoever, both in pvp and pvm. It's also a pretty easy solution to the multiboxing "problem" people are crying over lately.
Except that heals haven't been touched since 2003 aside from the few new nanos and some more heal eff. Amazing how people whine about the heals after everyone gets massive amounts of HP/AAD/evades/AR and never seemed to be a problem before that. Blaming the symptom doesn't fix the cause.
OT: Probably should of narrowed down the pvm choices some, as other have said the pvm vote will be to spread out vs the concentration of pvpers as they are the majority on the forums.
Seriously Reids, get real. Since 2009 Omni only have 250 LCAs when clan stops doing NW. With or without multibox.
The only thing that MB crap is doing is turning an Multiplayer game into a single player one. Affects PVM and PVP.
And thats why we all against it, in a multiplayer game i assume people will team up for the diversity content of the game itself, to reach objectives together, and not solo everything. For that i'd pick Quake or any other RPG.
Pathfinding, over everything else. This has been an issue since forever, with pets, charms, mobs getting lost or stuck. This is a complicated issue, but it will make the experience of pet users much more enjoyable instead of waiting forever for pets or having to use pet warp in every room (when available...).

This is a which one first poll, rather than pick one the others won't happen poll; they will happen, and in order of player vote preference; as for the poll well it's on the launcher, share the link on your respective guilds forums etc and see a fair turnout of votes it's running for another 13 days at time of my posting this. (btw NW released in 2002 and hasn't changed mechanically or with update since)
And I would say I was 75% PVM/25% PVP anyhow so new boss in the pyramid yes please after a NW revamp.
