Runes of Magic US / AU

My problem is that there are siege engines built into siege as a means to take down a gate. I don't think runewaker even thought players should be able to kill a gate without them. Soooooo buff siege engines, and rework the gates so that only the siege engines can attack them.

Maybe gates only healabe via siege engines also. Does that sound like too much, or too far in terms of relying on siege engines? Sounds more on point if you ask me.

tl;dr: can't do damage to gates if not siege engine, can't heal gates if not siege engine. siege engines need to be more reliable.

The only problem wit siege engines (iffn they done doth receivered the def buff, o course) be the skills an goeth thru walls/gates. There done doth needeth ter be alot o work done on siege an siege skills both, but Runewaker be too busy pushin out new content, tryin ter silence the pleas o the players.

Me done doth finder it highly amusin that the players who do be winnin the siege in this discussion be the ones complainin. "We cannot get inter their castle fast enough!" Wow, really? Rofl. Yer must no be on the def side very often. "Me can hardly get out the gate witout bein one-shot, ter farm merits fer towers, etc." Yer could add this complaint iffn siege twas changered ter further swing the winds in favor o those guilds who ROFL-stomp other guilds: "Me cannot farm up enough merits ter buy siege engines ter fixer gates!" Seriously. Those who win easily, an haver the enemy trappered in the castle hast nuthin ter complain bout in me book. As fer those who drag the match out the whole hour, which me guild done doth do often, tis a point o pride an hard work ter keeper the OP guilds outta our castle (tho we no user the ch skill fer that yet). Yer gotter know that no one liketh ter be teamed up gainst the 900-lb gorilla, an yet those guilds yer done doth be complainin bout be workin hard ter play an haver fun wit yer. Those teams yer complainin bout be real ppl on the other side there. Yet yer cometh here on the forums ter complain that yer cannot taker their castle fast nough cause o some skill from yer opponents. How sad.

I'd love siege engines to be viable again as well. though they need to fix the "client data error" insta-deaths when driving them on slopes. I usually die about 5-6 times before I can get one all the way across mid...

i haven't had that problem in awhile cike ;P

When I was solo-sieging when I came back, I used the uber-advanced ram and had no problem with instant death or errors, though I remember having them before I previously left as you mentioned Cike.

As far as "healing" a gate if siege engines could only be used to take down gates, I'd suggest an item named something like "Repair Kit" that can be purchased off of the throne or towers to repair gates. Give them a range of 250 to prevent being interrupted by thunderstorm. Give them a casting time of like 5 seconds so it is realistic of actually having to take time to repair something. Give them a cool down of 5 seconds so they can't be spammed by people using cast time speed pots/skills. Have it consumed on use. Have it repair gates at a similar rate as the medium ram damages them. Make it cost a certain amount of merits. It'd be an actual struggle to take down a gate, but you'd eventually be able to do assuming the other guild can't keep up the merits buy the item to repair the gate.

This is all assuming that tornado and scrolls would be nerfed AND siege engines would be buffed so that they are efficient, as mentioned previously. If tornado and scrolls aren't nerfed (and players can't heal gates), they'd be really overpowered.

hmmm...maybe they were fixed. I stopped using them for a while because of that issue.

I also was doing some solo sw's about the time just before they introduced the 24-leave guild cooldown. And the bouncy houses across bridges and insta-death never happened to me once on my mage either as matty said. Mage Love

The objective of siege is to take and hold all the crystals, it is not killing other toons. Different sieges bring different challenges, and you have to be prepared for them, and I find most of them fun. As I tell my guild mates, sometimes you are the rollie and sometimes you are the roller. If I am the rollie, the game is how do it keep you out of my castle. If I am the roller, the game is how do I get into your castle. For every move there is a counter move, and good siege guilds prepare for them. Buffs that can be placed on the gate can be removed or negated. you just have to plan.

When gates could be bleed to death, I begged for siege engines to be fixed and made viable again. They are currently far too easy to kill. Give them the same defense as the gate and 1/8th its health (we can adjust from there) still killable with a group with some effort.

As for the Ch/M and his Elemental Rampage, it would not hurt my feelings if they nerfed that skill a bit, mostly on the range, its a little to far reaching. By the end of siege, with all the forge buffs, it usually will take about half my health. HEB, if you are having issues with it on the gate, that is really on you. I have no issue getting low level alts across the battlefield I control.

Corruption Vent:
"They're doing our front gate guys."
"Oh F***"
"Tornado"
"I got HEB on it"
...
"I just barriered it again also"
"Keep the barriers going"
...
"I'm barriering the F*** out of it"
"Keep that barrier up"
Screen shows gate with HEB on it and Mmmbop healing the gate without complaint.

Caught you red handed there, Mmmbop. So since you have no complaints when its used on your gate, I'm sure we can easily extend that to other people's gates, yes?

Time in the video?

40 minutes in or something like that I believe. And good video once again Steve.

Lmao @Mmmbop's hypocrisy

Oh Noble we can always rely on you to be a super sleuth!

Yep fought them tonight and just seems like a bunch ok 12 years olds, called Reni the hack server, noobs and other rude comments. Funny how they don't go for wins and just ties, probably cause they can't play with the big boys at higher level, they prefer to hit on lower guilds and go for ties, the only way they can show how many kills they got loll, so funny.

Noble just watch that video and yep age span is about 12, the only word they can use in their vocabulary is the F word, very mature.

Sad thing is, to Govinda, Reni always has been the no talent hack server. Been that way since Reni began. Truth hurts, but fanboi's never believe the truth.

This is getting off track...please stay on topic.

Close the thread as it should of been closed the last time I posted in it. OP is looking to eat all his cake, be mean to his friends and not share and then say someone ate all of his cake.

Hatred!....

I'd recon you guys would fair better looking to replace Angelblast than to have mmbop justify losing a siege.

pretty funny it was over 2-1 against us and you guys still got beat up bad you guys should have had our crystal with those kind of numbers. Kind of flattering actually that you think our 10 is like ppk level =]

and yeah I use barrier on the gate, what am I going to do not use it when everyone else is using botted alts for it? Pretty sure I said earlier that we use it but it should still be changed. Oh yup there it is a couple posts back.
