WPvP: Resources in the Ruins

[Kochist]

I haven't mined up there in awhile, but if tin is everywhere then I think it may water the competition down a bit. A scarce resource will encourage more PvP.

Can you elaborate on this idea?

I think the PvP will be focused around the Collectors. Even if Tin is everywhere, a Collector that is dead can not mine it. People will have to defend their own Collector and slow down the enemy one.

Similar to your idea I would say if every player was a Collector then it would be a watered down competition, but having a scarce number of Collectors would encourage the PvP.

Another thing we could do is make Tin nodes worth 1 point and Silver nodes worth 20 points. That might encourage some intense battles when a silver node is found.

I kind of envisioned some degree of immunity for the collectors. They could be interrupted (which is where they'd need support/peels), but killing them would be frowned upon. I pictured the event's focus as controlling fluid/random points on the map instead of the collector. More of a moving king of the hill style game vs. a VIP gametype. Focusing only on silver is probably a bit too susceptible to lulls. I doubt there's enough of it to keep people involved and spread out, but making it more valuable could add some interesting variety when it does pop up.

I guess I was more talking about add ons that send you alerts/pings when a nearby node spawns, which I think would take the fun out of seeking out the nodes (that's just my opinion though).

Anyone know what addon does this?

Does it give alerts for nodes that are beyond the normal mini map icons? If not then I do not think it gives an advantage.

I think that if that is what it does then it would be cool to have everyone or just 1 person on each team have it to call them out, similar to silvershard mines.

i think the addon is gathermate but i think u have to mine the nodes first before they are saved on your map

I wouldn't put silver at 20 if tin was worth 1... I can imagine if a team got 2 silver nodes straight up and another team had only been getting tin. Maybe something like tin = 1, silver = 5?

My understanding of these add ons is that it tracks spawn locations, similar to gathermate and since veins are entities, it can determine whether one has spawned and alert you.
I'm not entirely sure about the range of them, and I would assume they are custom add ons since I cannot find the 2 I knew of on curse anymore.

The frozen herbs in the area are out of the range of f2p skill. Could consider collecting them too. Could kill ogres for their cloth drops. I guess you could kill yetis and skin them too. Ore, herbs, cloth and skins for the war effort. The opening of the Gates of Alterac f2p event!

Then f2p dks spill forth and they have to be downed.
