WAR RvR Updates

Updates that will be moving onto the PTS are reminiscent of DAoC siege. Hopefully they will add some extra flavor to our battles!

Realm vs. RealmKeep Upgrade System

Once a Keep has been claimed, a guild member with sufficient permission can speak to the Guild Broker NPC on the upper level of the Keep to choose what upgrades to purchase. These upgrades require a periodic maintenance fee and some are available in multiple Ranks. Once purchased, upgrades will take time to be completed and this process can be monitored on the new Keep Upgrade Interface. Upgrades will decay if funds are unavailable to pay their maintenance or a guild member chooses to stop paying for the upgrade. Guilds that successfully hold a Keep until the zone is captured will be rewarded with a free Gold Bag that will be mailed to the guild master and is tradable to his or her guild members.Realm vs. Realm Ordnance
This patch also introduces a new resource material that players in RvR can gather and trade in for deadly assault upgrades! Scattered throughout the RvR lakes, and acquired from killing players, Ordinance is collected and traded in for various items and weapons to use in open RvR!

These items include the following:

Rams that have double the Hit-points of standard Rams

Ballista that do twice the amount of standard Ballista damage

Self-only Oil Immunity potions that last 30, 60, or 90 seconds

Caltrops which place a small PBAoE Snare/DoT field on the ground

Dynamite that when thrown at a player will deal direct damage and knockback and if thrown at a siege weapon will deal double damage.
