Implement Randomized 'Hot Zones' for Increased PvP Opportunities
"Hot Zones" should be added as a way to drive natural PvP encounters.
In a very similar game called Shadowbane, hot zones worked as follows;
"A Hot Zone is special modification to any one of the game's existing macrozones. There may only be one hot zone at a time. Every two hours, a new one is chosen at random. The purpose of the hotzone is to provide players with a place to find additional player versus player conflict over the use of the zone."
Hot zones in Shadowbane added increased loot to mob drops, increased experience, and more. You always knew you could find PvP in the hot zones. They worked exactly as intended, and since the hot zone was always moving, you found yourself PvPing all over the map in areas you would otherwise never go to.
I think this idea could easily be implemented into Darkfall and partially help address the "running around for 2 hours to find one person to kill" issue that Darkfall has. Hot zones could be something like a 3x3 square area (less or more would obviously be fine too). You could put a small multiplier on the loot in a hot zone. You could increase skill gains slightly in a hot zone. You could do any number of things.
Overall, we need ways to drive players to the same parts of the map so that natural PvP encounter can actually happen with some degree of frequency. Hot zones would help with this a lot, especially during off hours when "timerfall" isn't active.
