If I was awake, I would take offense at that.

If it makes you feel any better Raves, we're more or less in the same shoes. Steamroll or be steamrolled. Bteam, and for some reason, Silentjustice lately, have been bringing the good sieges. I dunno if SJ merged, or they just overnight got some peeps uber geared, but they're a power to be reckoned with now. 35 vs 35 or thereabouts- it's like Clash of the Titans. Bodies everywhere!

Bteam on the other hand, is lean and mean. Saela alone usually does enough damage to make up for 5 other people. And Shin is still Shin. Eek! We were on a tying streak with them, but apparently we won against them last week when I wasn't there. So, I think that's a good argument for us doing better when I don't show lol.

But, yeah- siege for us is either PPK/Clockwork rapage or us raping everyone else... unless we pull Bteam or SJ- and that doesn't happen enough. It makes siege less fun

(and we'd be in the 10k bracket if we didn't pull PPK three times a week grrr!)

Quoted from "Ravesden;570492"

No offense Fan, but Noto just...idk. Its not really fun anymore. I miss the days of you guys holding us from the middle, you hiding behind your possy of flame towers or behind some kind of rock no one could find you behind. Its just not like that anymore. Nowadays as soon as siege starts, we head straight for your castle. Hate me for it, but its true. WTB you more OP peeps.

Siege against PPK isn't really a steamroll, but they are a very well established guild with a sound strat in the way they do things. Most of their group movements are fluid, and with purpose, whether it'd be to distract, or contain. Clockwork still has some polishing to do in how we siege vs them, but we're getting there. 2nd tie within a week is not bad I don't think, but it i very fun.

Just wish there were more guilds of that caliber to fight. RoM just doesn't have the population to sustain it, I guess.

Quoted from "HolyAnarchy;570382"

I personally think its a cheap, honor-less way to siege. I just do not understand how it is considered fun, especially for those guilds that are short on people.


We have been sieging the same guild for the past few nights. We have outnumbered them 2-1, it would have been incredibly easy to treach their gates, enter their castle and take down their procs... but how is that fun?


The guilds that treach gates are usually the same ones that shoot through walls, lure the honor guard over to take down gates, tornado through walls, etc. IMO its poor sportsmanship.


The “win at all costs, cut throat” mentality is putting a damper on what should be a fun, friendly competiton.

Quoted from "Ascher;570395"

While I would agree that using treches to take down a gate isn't very classy, it's become a necessary evil in siege anymore. Any guild you face is gonna do this to you, so you really don't have a choice in the matter.

Quoted from "TheMann64;570566"

Agreed. +1000000000000

Tho, using treaches to take out the gates of a no-show guild is okay in my mind. Having a good spar against another guild is fun. Whacking at the gates of a deserted castle is not.



You always have a choice.

I've only faced off against gate-treaching guilds a few times in last several weeks. There are still a lot of guilds that won't use this honorless technique.

Quoted from "thebadtouch09;570568"

You can take a gate down with a scroll + a tornado or 3-4 scrolls. Not really any way to defend against this, but everyone sees ok with it? Whats with that.

Quoted from "ruisen2000;570581"

Which is exactly why I don't see why people want to use treches lol. They costs a lot of merits, and are not re-usable. Scroll and Tornado are, and also takes a gate down quicker.

And look at some of the other servers- at least we're maintaining top 5 status, despite being PPK and Clockwork's personal punching bag

Quoted from "vfwiffo;570605"

This is either one of those rare Fan typos, or a very very apt description. :p Very.

On topic...

It is one of those situations that seems to be fair and not particularly unbalancing. There are defenses against it and even if not for AOEs, a single hit DPS working from within the castle can take a lot of them out. So, I am not upset about facing those who use it; and if it is decided that this is not meant to be and damage is taken out, I would not be upset either.

At least someone is trying to take down the gates. I'd rather deal with that rather than some of those so-called legit methods of causing damage to things inside the castle with gates still up.

Quoted from "Borella;570607"

Oh it's not a Typo. That is what we have told her to call us. It's Clockwork, subtract the L.

Quoted from "pazuzzu;570650"

see sit happens! that fail paz quote in rom dicken's sig i swear to all that's truly holy was a freudian slip..a la janet jackson from the superbowl. i totally meant to say fair and balanced as in pokin Fox News "all that bull#$% thats news to nouveau rich white ppl™" kinda touch. but since i have its against my religion to edit or even re-read my godlike steaming pile of forum prose...i didnt catch it.

shoot me

please?
