Put Talkano in outposts so players can exchange balthazar for z-keys. If no opposing team joins in say 15 tries pit players against AI team. Input?

Good idea in my opinion. Having to split from your group to go to your GH to exchange Balthazar Faction becomes a nuisance, well, for those of us who can only store the minimum 10,000.

Not many players who regularly play AB are UAX. There's no sense in them wasting their faction on keys if they don't at least have all of the skills unlocked.

I reckon tolkano should be in all pvp outposts, so /signed on the first part.

However, pitting people against AI teams if no opposing team joined for 15 tries is stupid, because its basically a free win. Programming AI to cap, kill and use the shrines effectively is impossible.

Also (last time i heard) most of the no-opp party joined happened because the servers were full of games, not coz no opp party actually joined. (I been in Luxon with 3 groups + and talked with a kurz mate i was trying to vs who had 3 groups + on his side as well.)

However, i am not against the idea of allowing heroes into AB, maybe limit it to one per player, to prevent abuse. That would be cool IMO

Then don't. Nobody's forcing you.

The Ai idea is clever, but it would be too easy for the human team.

Tolkano in Ab = YES YES YES /sign'd

/NOT signed for AI groups. The Alliance Battle feature is a PvP venue despite what some people might think.

/signed for Tolkano, having to go to gh is a pain when u have a good team.

lol at the person that said making ppl waste their faction on keys when they dont have all skills, its their choice, its not compulsory buying of keys with your faction :P

also /notsigned for the AI option, just then becomes pve, which is a bit pointless.

Defenatly a good idea, so you dont have to leave your group and find theyve gotten someone else when you come back and then you get paired with crappy groups the rest of the time.

I can live with tolkane, but plz forget about the rest. I don't want heroes in PvP, besides, waiting times will skyrocket with all those virtual players.

Keys are items, they can be stored in the inventory, and no matter how high your titles are, there is always a maximum in how much Balth Faction you can store, so the logic thing to do is allow people to trade Balth faction without breaking parties in AB outposts.

It's a PvP battle, that's what most of us want to play.

/signed for Tolkano. I need a site for trading Balths keys.

And, I would /sign the AI idea if the builds of the AI are, at least, more decent than the builds seen usually in AB.

/notsigned for Tolkano just because you have to go to the GTOB to get to the z chest whats a little extra running gonna hurt, Is everyone really that lazy?

/signed for the AI battles Try waiting a hour for a ab match just to go in and win 500 to 20 in less then a few mins.
just make the AI hard as hell.

You have to leave your party to cash in the faction and get the key as it is now. You can only have a limited amount of faction, but Z-keys stack. You hold the keys until you are done AB'ing and then go to open the chest.

That's not lazy, it's smart.

Not much of an effect on me.

/signed for Talkano (or whatever other name they choose to give him/her)
This should be relatively small amount of work.

/notsigned for AI (would be the same as no opposing team for HA having play against AI which would also be bad)
This would be immense amount of work.

It prevents you from having to break up your party.
Very few reasons to disagree with this if you aren't a troll.

Yes he should IMO, theres a balth reward priest and he can essentially be the same thing and its still a pvp outpost so tolkano wouldnt be out of place

Holy Cow. I got a poll! The free win is assuming you have partners in AB who know what they're doing. Many players concentrate on killing rather than capping because of balthazar. Don't you get b. faction for kills? Unlocking skiils & Z-keys are more important to some players. Also, a free win for waiting 15+ 30 sec periods wouldn't be bad??

It's called a rumor, it's the amount of players and their party formation/split behavior that limit battles. Most likely the balance Kurzick/Luxon is skewed quite severly and therefore lonmg waiting times at Kurzick side. I'm luxon and hardly have to wait besides for Kanaai Canyon. That all changed when that field became exploitable, as a result waiting times diminished.

i don't farm zkeys but sometimes when i do i hate the fact having to zone and then go back
i don't want to bother my team with having to say "just a sec i gotta go to GH for my zkey!"

1 - Great Temple of Balthazar is incredibly laggy on all districts.
2 - There are many idiots there.
