WARFIELDS on test copy server

[Mehntally]

<p>I logged in and saw a broadcast about the warfields so I dutifully toddle over to commonlands to check out the goings on.  Couple of quick questions:  What the heck are the warfields, when are they going on, what do we do, and how will we know when to do it? </p><p>I searched the in testing feedback and found exactly ONE post about warfields, and ONE blurb in a test update post that wasn't particularly informative.</p><p>How are we to test something we know diddly about in the first place?  I'm not a PvP'er but I was willing to give it the old college try to help test it, IF I could find it.  I toddled all over the commonlands around the bird towers and around the front gate looking for the elusive guardians/tower we're supposed to be defending.  Nothing.  SO I toddle over to antonica and look for the guardians/towers, again, nothing.</p><p>We (well at least I) need more info about what exactly the warfields are, how they work, etc.  From the blurb I read in the one test update post, it sounds like something that would be fun to participate in, if I just had more info about it.  We're not mushrooms, you can't leave us in the dark and expect us to thrive.  If you want our help testing your good ideas, give us details on what we're supposed to be testing for you.</p><p>Throwing a sticky up with info about what we're supposed to be testing would be great.  That way we have a clue as to what we need to test and can leave feedback about it.</p><p>end of /rant</p>

<p>I was also looking for the towers for the Warfields on Test. I found the one by the NQ gate in Ant, and it had the four statues in it. It is small and one story, so not much strat in defense other than all out fight.  </p><p>There was a red message that said "You have 5 minutes left to successfully defend Antonica" or something like that. Once the 5 min was up, I got 15 Discord tokens, 31 gold, and18980 status at level 90. I was standing at the tower, so not sure if the rewards are just zonewide or not but I am assuming so. Only got 5 Discord tokens for attacking in CL and 30g 18980 status.</p><p>There was no towers near any bird stations. Using the Keep of the Gnollslayers for the TS "tower" would be perfect, since it is bigger, near the TS bird, currently existing and is defendable somewhat since it has walls, two-story and a single entrance.</p><p>Right now it looks like all the towers aren't in Ant, but they are up in CL. </p><p>eidt: since these are timed and in specific zones, they really should be implemented on all servers. People can avoid the 30 min fights if they don't want it.</p>

<p>These warfields are for nagafen and vox its a poor attempt at reviveing the pvp that was destroyed by adding betabluebiegrinds to our red servers.  has pvp even been enabled yet on test this is gettin old if not</p>

[Bjerde]

<p>Yes pvp is enabled on Test Copy.</p><p>I know which servers they are intended for, and hate to tell you but open world pvp was dead long before BG's. I guess you could always tokengrindnredzerg in KP, if you call that open world pvp.</p>

<p>this is very poorly implemented IMO.  I just dont see this reviving any open world PvP.....in fact i see this encouring going afk for 30min to get tokens.</p><p>I was in CL this morning and did NOTHING but run around and got 15 tokens, 30g and some status for "successfully defending".</p><p>went to Antonica and killed 1 lvl 90 guard tower and got 5 tokens, 30g and some status.</p>

<p>So where is the information about this? Is this going to be active on non-pvp servers? And if so, does that basically mean Antonica/CL are going to become pvp enabled during these events? So even more unwanted pvp is leaking over to our side of the game?</p>

[woolf2k]

<p>oh! I hope they have these on PvE. I loved the way they were implemented on that SciFi game...the name escapes me....they were location were mobs would attack and you had to defend it, at the end youd get rewards. they were somewhat implemented as open quest areas in warhammer. </p><p>they were fun specially if there were other players there with you.</p>

<p>I kinda hope these would be on PVE servers. They would be a fun roleplay experience!</p>

PVE players are already catered to hand and foot..PVP needs things that are PVP only,to keep people playing on our server.</p>

<p>From the testing i did of several of the matches if you wish to call them that  it was 15  tokens for winning as a freep defending cl and 5 for loseing as an attacker in ant  these are timed  and dont happen back to back so participateing or not will not change token outcome unless of course you are shifting the tide of battle in which case you are just gettin your 15 this will do nothing but create more cheaters and afk'ers .</p>

I can gaurantee that more people will be out there actually PVPing,trying to get the 15 tokens,while completing another 3-4 writs.</p>

<p>The timer for Warfields is every two hours towers spawn in CL and in ANT. Whoever kills the guards first wins (short version) so defending andplaying offense are equally as important. The two hour spawn time sucks. On testcopy we have this even over with in 10 minutes. Need to lower the timer to every 30 mins or something.</p>
