Resource Carriers and AAO Hotfix

Today saw a couple minor hotfixes. I am quite sure the response on the forums to having only 2 things fixed today, one of them being purely cosmetic, is not going to be good. No fix for the broken Keep PQs, buggy ram, or likely most important of all the trouble with Pounce (Although it seems to be working a lot better lately).

The RvR fix is a good one however. Resource carriers now heal the keep door when effected with AAO. This is a huge boost for the underdog. Currently when one keep hits four stars everyone heads to the keep-- attackers and defenders. Now an attacking zerg will be forced to keep an eye on their BOs unless they want to be beating on the door endlessly. This should disperse the attacking zerg to give the defenders a fighting chance. It also gives people something to do other than stand around the keep waiting for the door to go down.

I took part in a successful defense under AAO in Praag the other night. It was great fun leaving the keep to cap the BOs while the defenders repeatedly took down the ram. With the majority of both sides focused on the keep the lakes were filled with skirmishes. It was constant action the entire time and in the end with got our keep to four stars and won our offensive. It ranks up there with the best experiences I have ever had in this game.
