Seige war

I would just like to offer up some ideas about how siege should be changed.

Make siege more enjoyable to all levels and classes by bringing in siege vehicles.

Maybe change the landscape to make siege more accessible to siege engines.

Make the guild castles stronger versus lvl 70 players, the mechanics are still in place from when max level was 55.
As the levels increase, so should the abilities to defend against new higher levels.

Overall I think that siege war needs a total revamp.

All you are going to get from this thread is people QQ'ing about how siege is still in beta 2 years after it was first installed in the game.

Me, personally, I would like to see the siege engines become more of a viable option in siege. It lets lower lvl players become more involved with siege, rather than staring at a pole for an hour while the higher lvl players kill each other.

I would like to see guild leaders encourage their members to gear up so they become viable in siege & discourage their weaker members from abusing the other side when they kill them because they are so undergeared.

I would like to see Oil above the gates that u can click on whne people attackyour gate. But you must hae so many meritsto use this and it does a % damage to the players atatcking your gate. this is because theirs a random hole above the gates so it seemedliek this would be a good idea. lol

Also i agree with the above posts about revamping seige and making it level appropriate.

making the ehicles needed again would be soo much fun and giving the vehicles like 50m hp so it takesa group to take them down. liek back when we were level 55.




Going to edit this again. They should also redo arenas. i love to arena. but they should make more fun ones as well. The arena that is liek seige goes too fast. they need to raise the score and make more players abl;e to play iut. You can killlike 3ppl and literally it will end. ilike the idea of being able to keep taking crystal back and forth like in seige.

Also, the 6v6 arena i noticed its usually 6v1 or 6v2 alot. They need to make it to where it evens out the teams.

I think some things that they could do is - get different monsters within the siege like as the game goes on different and more difficult monsters spawn, add trap holes that people can activate if they own a tower.

Whoever owns the most amount of towers gets a debuff of like 25% decrease in def or attack or both....

Different buffs for the tower guards so we can give them different abilities (while each buff also gives them cooler armor)

At exactly 30 mins into the game a random person gains herald, this will prevent alt farming on the towers and improve lag issues within siege.

People can only use a certain amount of skills or certain skills, a person can buy skills using merits at processing or throne?

you can use a monster (balloons or something) and turn them onto your team using a scroll from throne so they fight for you.

I Wish Druids were good with siege they make healers useless when healing gates so what should we do if we just get one hit when we walk out the gates

Druids are the best at healing gates, with all those nice HoT's.

I too would like to see changes in siege and arenas. The most popular arena, 3v3, is just a box with pillars, and it gets kinda old when you're the only visible person in the arena and no way to deal with the three rogues on the opposing team.

I love siege, and it's insanely good fun even as broken as it is now. I'd be kinda afraid if they tried to change it too much. All I would ask for is for a higher damage reduction, stronger gates, buildings and siege engines. Scale everything up so that the OP level-capped people can't solo everything. Finally make it so you need a catapult to break the gate down again.

I'm ready for siege to be a game of taking and holding towers again, and not a bum-rush to kill processing factories. There was more elegant strategy involved back in the good old days when you actually needed siege engines and groups to take on towers.

Make the gates and the siege engines 98% immune to player damage, and you cannot fix any of them. Takes a siege engine to take the gates and to kill another siege engine. I remember the old days when it was very much this way, roll up on the gate with 4 little rams and a big one filled with what, 8 people I think, and start banging it down. I remember driving them up to the crystal in their castle, the little ones anyway, and then getting out to take it. Good times, good times.

I could go along with 90% of your suggestion. Gates? Continue to allow them to be healed, perhaps at a slightly higher rate than they are now. But if you're going to require siege engines to break them down, the siege engines need to be upgraded along the lines of the flame/electric towers, or somewhat more so. But ditch the requirement that it takes a siege engine to destroy a siege engine.

You've started playing recently, so it's likely you've not yet gotten to the point where a Druid's heals really become effective, either in siege or the "regular" world. Level up, gear up, and go read one or more of Xerise's Druid guides. I think there are still a couple of them in the community guides section.

And please. No guns.

I just want to be able to throw dwarves off the castle walls when the gates are under siege!

Talk about shock & awe! Just imagine being hit up the back of the head by a freefalling axe wielding dwarf..

That's because siege engines were designed by dwarfs, once they get behind the levers, they will ride smooth as... all right the ride will still be bumpy, but it will go twice as fast.
