Title: Changes for Nodewar areas for better PvP experience
Family Name: ChampionFighter

Region: EU

Suggestion:

There is multiple solutions possible for the issue adressed in this post. I'll be listing 4 different ones. Implementing any of those options would greatly improve the PvP experience for Nodewar players as it fixes the issues described in "Explanation".

- Change the T4 Node on Thursday to a different area, that does not include the desert as it leads to several issues explained later in this post

- Rotate around the T4 Nodes after a period of time

- Add a 2nd T4 Node to every Nodewar day (Sunday already has multiple options, hence can be disregarded)

- Disable the Desert function during the duration of Nodewars on Valencia 1

Explanation:

In the current Nodewar System, most days have one T4 Node, being the only uncapped PvP Content of that day. With a large portion of the PvP Guilds that are participating in Nodewars, preferring T4 Nodes, it does not allow for a lot of options to choose what area you fight in, with the current ones having some major inconveniences for the players.

The best example to bring up here would be the Thursday T4 Node Pilgrim's Sanctum: Obedience, which can mainly be seperated into 2 parts.

The south part consisting almost exclusively out of desert area, which does not allow for Waypoints/Pings (Display Guild Member Location), Usage of Horses (outside of T9 Dine) and the guild skill: Command to Gather, which has a huge impact on how you play your fights. 

The north part is a hill in the west and east seperated by a chasm which forces the mainraids of each guild into a very narrow path and leaves very few options for movement.

Imagine 100+ players showing up to that node, using 10 purified water each, the node turn from desert sand to green plain, now all the desert debuff are gone for the rest of the day and then it goes back to desert.

You could even add some rares ressources that show up once the node change for lifeskill people to make them happy.

Call me PA I have tons of ideas and im cheap.

Yes Pogchamp 

Can we have 1 failed valk ult in chat?

agreed, it's way too easy to run into another setup now where the fight ends up turning into a mini siege where nobody wins until time runs out

agreed, would make NW way more enjoyable

mhm stimmt wirklich

Nice idea.

But if you can't deal with the system is it a problem of the system or you not being able to deal with the system? 

There is enough nodewar content t1, t2, t3 and even t4. If you don't enjoy the content on a t4 just go somewhere else.

Big guilds can go and fight somewhere else. Noone forces you to got and fight on t4. 

There are enough areas every day to guarantee the "content" you want. 

Rotating also won't fix the problem that there will be bad weeks with the you described bad nodes. Others will offer good weeks and if you can't get the stuff happening on that weeks the main problem will still persist. 

Yes! Great suggestion ChampionJason.

I can safely speak for the Top 3 guilds of EU and this probably goes for even more: We prefer to fight on uncapped gear, which is only T4 with the current system. So yes, we can go to a different Node Area, but it will force people to play on capped gear, which totally changes the dynamic of fight for various reasons.
The issue described in my posts was not about getting Nodewar fights or content. There's plenty of fights on T4 Nodes currently on EU going on. The improvement I'm asking for is that the fights, especially on Thursday, suffer from the current selection of the only existing T4 Node, because the area simply doesn't suit Nodewar that well, without a change to the desert system.
I hope that maybe explained the reason for my post a little bit more
