Tyvm for having put up your toon name and guild;-)

I think all the people writing here have been called out on hacks or whatever, loll. It happened to me last week just because i would die with 6 of them on my back, just because i'm a K/S doesn't mean i can't kick arse in siege loll. Most of the times i do except when Cloak is there lolll, he gets me everytime hahahaha. Against TSF i had some of the most memorable sieges, lots of fun and i died a lot ;-) BUT IT WAS FUN!!!!

Always a blast zid lol. I've got a lot of good wars with you guys filed away. I could try and upload them if requested.

I know my siggy doesn't show my name/guild affiliation but I'm sure people know me by now. If I took the time to fix my sig then there would be no issue.

But im getting off topic so I'll put my phone down and get back to work lol.

Well when i play my endgame mage, i spam Thunderstorm as i go out the castle to get rogues or illusions, i cast it as i go along and not just in front of me, left and right. It's called playing it smart. As a mage you get one shot by rogues usually, so play smart and stay alive, i wish i could play it like Cloak, now that is a mage who knows how to play his class.

Heddin before doing scrolls, i look up to see at their walls if anyones there, i look at the trees left and right, if the other team is good, they have tactics too, you are not playing a computer opponent, humans tend to adapt and get smarter about stuff. Tell your rogues to be patient and take their sweet time, not rush in ;-).

Can't thank you enough for this Xamd, I'm linking this for everyone in guild to read, as long time player know this stuff, but we actually got new players! Not new to guild, but really new...was so exciting, lol! Great siege tonight, btw, you tanky bugger, and love you forever for doing this post so I don't have to.

I can kind of see how mage can spam ts with macro yeah, but 2 ppl who mostly did it are k/m (think it was mage, def k) and r/m. Both don't exactly have spamable area dam with 200 range ala ts.
Thanks for all the comments, I prob will just chill on top next time we face that guild, will make them feel op I am sure I still feel there is some kind of program at work, so rogues beware xD

Sad truth it seems best sieges were at 1k-2k brackets, no automated combat/no autotarget/no strange stuff - why cant ppl keep it clean when higher? points don't mean anything, why not just have fun, this is what game is about and not to win siege using questionable means. Ok rant over xD

Enjoy pvp/pve, this game is awesome despite some shortcomings!

Actually, if it was R/M, that makes sense. R/M does have a ranged (Aoe I believe) that works very similar to T-storm, and I think BB has a macro that allows it to only cast if there is a target there to hit. No idea about K/M.

A herald's Tornado can do a maximum of 90% damage to an enemy gate... though the spot to cast it is just a single step's difference between too far (80%) and too close (60%).

Now why did you have to expose that lol.

Maybe im a Noob, I understand the stacking of speed buffs, etc and herold skill to move fast, assult time / battle time scrolls, thats no problem as all of those skills have a cooldown and a limited time, but i have seen several guilds that are in the process of killing the guard on the A tower before your gale and mount can get out of the castle. If thats not enough sometimes by the time you make it to the b side mid tower they will meet you there. There are some people you can watch in siege and they never slow down. They are fast before the herold buff, longer than the pots last and yet can still outrun a mount and gale at any time during siege even if they are in it solo. So this basically means they will fly across any trap you have, you wont be able to hit them as they run past you due to minor bits of server lag. Strangly enough maybe its a client glitch (i do have rom loaded onto at least 7 computers) , but when i kill fots and eyes they take 3-4 seconds to stop working and disappear, when they hit them they are just gone. So now lets combine this with the people using auto comabat, you know the ones that can stop attacking the person in front of them and one shot the rogue that just came out of hide behind them with an attack that only hits one person (non aoe etc) and then go right back into combat with the first person in a matter of a split second (something that is not really humanly possible) and also not manage to target any other person near them? One of my favorites lately has to be the mages that seem to not see gates or walls since they can t-storm your castle buildings and destroy them while outside the wall. Someday maybe they will even fix the gate heals so that every gate doesn't need a d/wd casting briar on it in order to have a chance at healing it (seems like it meets the criteria of using an exploit as i'm sure that the use of it on gates was never intentional)..However even with all these thing's a good siege against people that actually use their own skills and not have everything macro'd/DIYCE/etc is still a fun way to waste an hour. If i were to try and improve it i would do away with some of the speed buffs so that the traps could do their job (and make it so traps died based on the number of hits), Also i would slow down the LUA scripting for addins to one line a second during siege so that we could see some real skill in playing, not programming and maybe after that we could really see who are the hackers and who is really skilled.

Holy text wall!

Has tornado position been changed? Herald is standing at the same location to summon tornado as before, but since Sarlo patch, our Tornado only hits for 20% damage.

And boo, big nerf for scrolls =/
I'll miss the good old times of 55% damage on Int scrolls...

Tornado has not changed. Since Sarlo was introduced with the changed to the scrolls, the tornado for us still does 80% damage on the gates.
