The seasonal victory point adjustment is fine but it will not fix the main issue with forts/outposts. They are not fun. 95% of fort/outpost game play is unopposed standing in a circle. I know a lot of info was released recently. Was this addressed at all?

So you can change discs between each round?

Because champions don't have stealth. Easier to see.

I just wish I didn't lose the first 10 minutes!

Here is some solo outpost game play footage I just took. My video recording software messed up and it cut out the first 10 minutes of video.

The current implementation of mounts could use some adjusting.

Well yeah. I took the best available DPS options. But that is kind of the point I was making. You can build for full DPS and still be one of the most survivable characters in the fight. The only non DPS rune I took was study because its just really good.

It was just to show some numbers. Just trying to show that the Pit fighter can literally just be in the fight the entire time, just mindlessly LMBing and do a lot of damage with out really worrying about being killed. No one is really going to target you first. Tank should do less damage.

At least the class is balanced in that it really can't do any DPS. The druid im hitting has 35% physical resist, 7K HP, Sturdy, and Dig In.

It's absolutely significant. My goal was not dismiss the advantages you get from vessels but to dissuade new players from not participating because they feel they are just too far behind and to encourage them to get deeper involved in the inner workings of the game. I've been here for 3 years and I'm am still bugging everyone in my guild for info on how this ability works, or how to craft this, or how to harvest that, etc. There is a lot in this game to know and no real good way to learn it solo.

I see a lot of new players making comments along the lines that they can not compete or even play until they get a crafted vessel. For information's sake here is a side by side view of a level 30 Centaur Champion with no vessel vs a level 30 Centaur Champion with a blue vessel. Same training, same talents selected. No gear. Higher quality vessels are possible ATM but almost all with a vessel will be at this level or lower of quality. This works out to a difference of- 38.5 Attack Power 3.9% Final Damage Modifier 1.2% Crit Chance 0.3% Armor Bonus 1.5% Crit Hit Damage 15.7 Support power 1 Stamina 351 Health I have heard people saying that their group of 3 got wiped out by 1 guy because he had a vessel and they didn't. I've heard a lot of people saying they can really feel the difference in combat now that "everyone has vessels and they do not." I have never heard anyone say that their group of 3 got wiped out by 1 guy because he did 4% more damage than them. I will concede that there are other places to gain advantage. Longer training time, better gear. These will all definitely add up, but it is not just vessels. You can gather all the mats you need in the safety of the temple to craft advanced armor and weapon and you can craft them in an EK right now. Vessels are awesome but don't feel that you shouldn't be playing if you don't have one yet. The biggest advantage vets have over new players is information. The best thing you can do is ask questions and ask for help. Most here with the information are willing to share it. Not sure how/where to craft or what the best way/location to harvest is? Ask Not sure what disciplines or build you should run? Ask Ask on the forums, in game. Hop into guild's public discord and ask questions. We want you to enjoy the game almost as much as you want to.

I don't think so. I agree that it is a good thing, but it will just make it so that the losing side has a reason to continue running the loop. It doesn't change the fact that the current system encourages running in a circle and avoiding PvP.

I could see this being something neat that's available in between campaigns if they don't fire off as soon as they end. Thinking of after a month long campaign in the dregs there would likely be a few days rest period before the next one started. This would be something cool to fill that time with.
