Suggestions for Improving Reives. Post yours here.

[raps1355]

Lower the reentry time to 2 mins
Increase the time to get back in range to 15 secs.
Remove shared hate system so players biting off more than they can chew dont "pass it on"
Auto reraise after reive ends.
Removal of reive status if you have been dead for 5 mins.

Also see alot of people saying they dont know where to go, i find this odd as the reives repop in exactly the same spot every hour. Could use map markers to track them.

we need some npc's that will raise and also need better information about position

1. Temps - RR scroll, couple of potions, ethers, catholicon, etc. Basically the same kind of stuff you get for Besieged.
2. Increase boot warning by at least 10 more seconds.
3. Give us a entry warning notice of the same duration before reive status takes effect.
4. Reduce re-entry penalty to a maximum of 5 minutes.
5. Auto-reraise upon ending of reive.
6. Give us an incentive for killing the mobs. This would be a good way to replenish temps or make the knotted roots take more damage the less mobs are alive.
7. The bonus for ending a reive needs to be increased to about double of the current value.

Peacekeepers Coalition I think might do this with Emblem. Increases "Frontline Provisions".

4. Reduce re-entry penalty to a maximum of 5 minutes.

Already planned i think.

6. Give us an incentive for killing the mobs. This would be a good way to replenish temps or make the knotted roots take more damage the less mobs are alive.

Killing enemies triggers Reive Unity Bonuses, which are very helpful. VERY Helpful. increased Attack, Accuracy, HP/MP, 300% TP, 2hour renewed, so on. Plus, Killing enemies elongates battles a fair amount and increase the Exp/Bayld received by everyone by a fair amount, not only due to elongated battles, but because more damage all around... If you're following people who dont think they should kill them, They're doing it wrong and you need to tell them how stupid they are.

I did add two of your suggestions to the OP however thanks for the contribution.

Random thought; make "Campaign:" weapon skills activate in Reives. Odd idea, I know, but think of how Uriel Blade would do for PLD super-tank. Secondly, make them questable, not in the sense you have full time access, but only access during Campaign and Reives. Just a thought to throw out there.

I spent an entire afternoon doing exactly this in Ceizak and Yahse, and noticed that more and more Reives were popping up as colonization increased and Pioneers spread through the zones. At this point it's impossible to walk outside and run a track around the zone without running into at least 4 Reives, not counting Lairs.

It's my understanding that killing mobs nets you zero credit for bayld, that you need to hit the root for damage to register. Is this correct or would someone who exclusively killed adds get bayld rewards? I say this because when I did revive I must of killed a ton of adds and never got any reward for it, eventually I just stopped messing around as it was clearly broke.

You had the Logging skill quest already done, right?

Go back to the way reives were giving good exp/bayld. I think if they did this people start doing them again. Lets face it, that's the best reward from doing these damn things.

Depends on your job i guess. if I'm on PUP, tanking a mob/taking damage/pet cures, I get good Exp/Bayld.

I mean, I get way more punching the roots because its consistent flowing damage, and Cures/Enhancing seem to either still suck of Pets were excluded from the buffs... But I still got Exp/Bayld from killing mobs, Lots o' em.
