Gateway to Domination - Harvest or Lay Waste

Leaders of both Academies ramp up their efforts to dominate the energies of the shadow by attempting to gain total control over all known gateways. While the struggle to control magic reaches new heights, and brings about new perils, many mages also recognize the increased potential for individual power. How will changes in the ‘Gateway to Domination’ campaign affect the path you walk upon? Will you seek out new levels of power, or simply seek to lay waste to the powers sought by your enemies?

The 'Gateway to Domination' campaign will begin Monday, February 27 at approximately 4:00 AM PST and will run for one full week. Individual rewards will be provided to top contributors at the end of each round and total energy gains can be tracked on the leader board. You can also view the results of each campaign and round on our global battlegroup campaign page.

During the 'Gateway to Domination' campaign Animator High Command and Architect Battle Control have both increased their support for their teams by summoning dominators under their control. Mages can expect to see enemy dominators wherever they warp, as we introduce this new experimental content feature with the campaign.

Animator High Command (AHC) and Architect Battle Control (ABC) will summon dominators to gateways that are either neutral, or controlled by the opposing team. These unique dominators will behave like any other dominators except that they can be harvested by anyone from the same team who appears within physical proximity of the dominator and there can be only one AHC and ABC dominator in the same visible area on the map at the same time.

The same rules that apply to regular dominators, such as recharging, health values, harvesting, as well as energy & experience gains, will also apply to these new Academy summoned dominators.

    This change is broken and is basically allowing the same typo of inlfated scores that usually is linked to alt farming. Please do reconsider a rollback, a week of this is ridiculous.

    It basically IS automated alt farming. Guess we know how GA feels about alt farming now... ;-)

    Can these doms be harvested, or are they just cannon fodder? BTW, nice medal. You must've given your artist a raise recently or replaced them.

    Yes, they can be harvested by anyone from the same team who appears within physical proximity of the dominator!

    anvar it says they can be harvested by anyone on the same team also in a way it cancels out alt farming by alowing anyone to do it.

    I didn't really pay attention, DF. My apologies. The scores must be ridiculous this campaign.

    Nope, because a lot of people have given up and aren't playing. The massive grinders who can harvest from a ton of gateways are doing great. Them that has, gets. More moderate players have checked out, at least in MM.

    I've taken my time observing the effects on game play; I was intrigued by the changes. We've had about 3 days of play now and I don't care for this change. It slows game play considerably and has reduced the number of battles as movement has been slowed by "lost" gateways as the dominators spawn. Yeesh. This looks more like the week we could warp to enemy stuff. Not a bad idea, just not a keeper, please.
