Making events count

[tazuras]

I'm kinda on the line on this issue. On one hand making events count would provide more motivation for participation at first but it would also cause more discouragement for the side that loses. It could also lead to things that really arent terribly realistic in Disco and could spoil the RP of people who can't even participate int the events due to time conflicts.

Now, the issue of who has greater numbers isnt a big deal. Battles can be balanced before hand, in terms of numbers. When this is the case what causes one side to win is skill. Personally I dont think it would be terribly fair that the more skill full PvPer's get what they want in game territorially and in RP, that is unless someone wants to write RP about losing, somehow I think that would be the minority of players.

Now doing the events over time, that can help bring balance, maybe. I think on this one we're are just going to wait and see how the Okinawa events turn out and learn from them to decide what can be done in the future.

In the mean time you can still make events count, at least to those that care about RP. When I run an RP event I always try and have some RP objective that will benefit the winners side in RP. Although this is not quite the boon a territorial gain would be, it's still something. I think having access to the RP commodities that are now in the game would help with this as well, as they can act like trophies. I am sure we will see more of this sooner or later.
