Poll and discussion : VvV arties on Siege
in Siege
*lights blue touch paper, stands well back*
As I promised, I will be your spokesman in all things Siege. If you want me to be, of course.
I have already asked about the placing of an enhanced spellweaving circle, and will continue to follow up on that.
VvV artifacts have been a bone of contention for some time on Siege.
There was a vote some time ago, and the "Nay's" won.
Times have changed. Opinions may have changed - they may not. Let's see.
At the end of March, I promise that I will discuss the results of the poll with Mesanna.
That will either be a discussion about re-enabling the artefacts, or just a confirmation that you want things to remain the same.
I would like to state ONE very important point right at the start of this:
To the best of my knowledge, Broadsword does not have the resources to assign a developer to a Siege-exclusive feature. So, if you want VvV arties to have different behaviour on Siege to any other shard, you are not very likely to get that.
Ask for what everyone else has - we'll probably get it sooner or later.
Ask for a variation on what everyone else has - the odds of getting it plummet.
So, this poll has one question. Only one. We can ask for tweaks further down the road, if there is agreement on those tweaks. But for now, lets give our house a foundation before we worry about what we're going to store in the loft.
Discuss other ideas, by all means. We may take those further in the future.

Never be afraid to challenge the status quo
In the meanwhile, I think it is fair for every player to have to work to obtain their gear in the same manner as everyone else.
My vote is YES 1000 times over.
Siege is broken. There are so many new items in the game and people are afraid to wear them outside the safety of their homes.
Siege wasn't meant for such an item based environment...
There are many underlying issues that need resolved. Implementing VvV arties is a quick fix that can breath some life into the shard. Look at it over the past month... tons of new players. We need them to stay!
I would VVV on siege if it was ONLY in the active town, the fact it is on all the time in every town to be attacked makes it impossible for me. If VVV was ONLY active on the town callout I could choose to VVV or not, not just become a target in any town any time. I fully understand that all of us on siege are attackable any time once you leave town, that is the beauty of playing on siege, being careful and choosing your times etc. I would love to VVV but I do not want my chars attackable in every town all the time.
I haven't voted in the above as I see the argument for and against, however if Siege should have the same rules as all shards then if I am VVV and Minoc is the current call out town, I should be 'safe' in Britain etc.

So you would want all the rewards but none of the risk.
They slightly favor mages, but theres so many balancing issues on siege that i dont see the harm in adding to the mix more.
It would at least give dexters a bit of a boost allowing for a crimson cincture, considering the cost and difficulty of obtaining a real one, i wouldnt even bother using real one, but a VVV one would be manageable and easier to replace.
If anything, it might encourage a little pvp. from my limited siege play, ive not encountered a single pvp encounter on siege (except for EM events) Maybe ive just been too careful? I play a swordsman and dont stealth or anything, just never see anyone. I think it would concentrate the pvp at least a little.
The main problem is that VVV is broken on all shards right now. You should not be able to get points while stealthed, as its destroyed all point to a VVV battle.

Steve, tone down the rhetoric, you're not helping the discussion with this kind of comment. Keep it civil and grown up and it might, just might, get implemented.
Please make the Grizzled Mare a 5 slot mount, it's incredibly rare and deserves it. Some of us have been waiting a long time for this simple addition.
