Lower CTF Battle Well Dramatically

Here is my protest.

If you were ever an old school Test Center Battle Junkie

You know what I mean.'

The beauty of having more frequent events like CTF is it gives people a chance to hone
their skills in small groups vs multiple opponents, risk free.

Test Center was great as you had people making loose alliances based off circumstance.
While giving them a chance to truly hone their skills, increase their situational awareness of field pvp,
all while having a great time.

Let's dramatically lower the battle well, so we can initiate our own events. Thanks.

+1, making it harder to start is imho very counter intuitive, as it just makes people who want to play it more sad

It has already been reduced from 1,000,000 to 750,000 from what i recall. I bet you're a barrel noob and throw in actual money in it. Me and @Arch Enemy have hosted CTF's worth several good millions just by throwing in weapons/armour/instruments worth half a mill in items for eight or more CTFs. So yeah try to buy cheap armour and weapons and host yourself one. It's really easy. We still have around 10 CTFs worth of loot.

Probably a noob question, but how do you do this if you don't already have tens of millions stashed in many years of playing?

You don't need mills to buy junk items.

First of all, anything with a slayer property alone is worth 5k points in the battle well. So those junk slayer bows and swords on vendors that sell for 100-200 gp? Yeah buy the fuck out of those.

Anything with a really nice accuracy modifier will also give a lot of points, so even if you have a supremely accurate pitch fork, keep that shit, it will be worth at least 2-3k points in the battle well.

I'm pretty sure the battle well also determines points based off the item itself. So a supremely accurate short spear will give more points than a supremely accurate pitch fork.

Also, every time I recall to WBB after farming I look at the items people throw on the ground. People throw magic shit on the ground all the time, and most of these items are worth decent points in the battle well, sometimes they are worth a lot of points (5k or more)

When I'm buying from vendors, I never pay more than 500 gold for an item I'm going to throw in the battle well. Sometimes you get really lucky and find a vendor selling tons of junk slayers or crappy weapons for 50-100 gold each.

I store all the junk items in Peav's custom house which surprisingly holds a massive amount of shit, so I have hundreds and hundreds of these items stashed away for whenever I want to host a CTF.

It was funny, before they fixed it, regular faction shrouds used to give 75k points in the battle well. That was fun to horde those and throw a few in for instant CTF :D

Personally I would love to see the amount needed for the battle well lowered so we could have more CTFs, but since people can earn points and sell rewards for gold (if the rewards ever get implemented again), it should probably stay where it is.

I think the biggest thing that is needed is to improve the quality of CTF by changing the scoring system to be more balanced and encourage teamwork but staff doesn't seem to give a shit sadly.

Would like to see an option to put in for a specific event of the player's choosing, scaled based on ability to score points within the events themselves. And since pts would be distributed throughout multiple events I think the wise thing would be to lower the pt total for CTF from what it currently is, but it still needs to be at the top of the list as it has the biggest potential for scoring.

200k Team vs Team
300k FFA
400k KotH
500k CTF

1) throw weapons/armor/instruments/clothing into the well to accumulate points based (loosely) on the items value if you were to sell it to an NPC shopkeeper

2) Once 750k points is reached, CTF is automatically started

3) Profit ???

that's all there is to know, really.

I think for 50 million points there should be an option for CTF League. I'd stick my junk in there. I'd stick my junk in there so hard.


wat.

OK well i went and bought a bunch of junk weapons and got er up to almost 700k. Bought some weapons at average of 1500 for a weapon that is worth 7000 points. Which at that price calculates out to just slightly over 160k to start a battle well, and perhaps that is the super high end. Not sure.
