Fortress Time.

Waterelfo · 09-04-2008, 08:19 AM

I'm wandering and, if we can attack the fortress, if a EU legion was in US servers. they could get the fortress while the owners were sleeping! And it would be stupid if we could just attack at some hours of the day. So, it would be better to merge EU and US servers so the legions could have some US players and other EU to defend it. I'm not sure if it is restrict to attack at some parts of the day. So what will we do?

Fortresses aren't meant to be kept forever. Deal with it and win the fortress back the next day, or whenever.

Then each days legions will be using about 1 hour getting the fortress to lose it next day. I deal with it but a bit abd to lose a fortress each day would be begtter to hold then 3 days lol

Well, yes and no. Believe me, holding onto something for several days straight ends up getting boring because you kind of know that they can't take it from you and they already said that the buffs will begin to diminish as the time goes on. Besides, wouldn't you want a little change every once in a while? I would hate to be on the defense all the time.

It's just another aspect that you have to consider if you're running a Legion, if you choose to worry about this, that is. Obviously you wouldn't be able to stop an all out raid from EU players during 4am US time, however that won't happen as often as you think, so it'll be more about having a steady amount of players who are around to keep an eye out on it around the clock. Remember that if an EU Legion took over your Fortress while you were sleeping..just do it back to them later that day?

Exactly. It's more fun to lose it and have to get it back than to have never lost it to begin with.

1 hour doesn't sound as wasteful if you think about how much epic pvp is to be had. The effort to capture a fortress is the goal. Team A captures Fortress, Team A gets a few special things, Team A gets fat, arrogant and corrupt. Team B gives em a nice smack to keep them honest. If Team A can defend their keep, Team A still deserves it. If Team B wipes Team A, Team B deserves the keep. It would be boring otherwise

Yep. Where would the fun be in just holding a fortress 24/7?

The only fun I could see holding onto a fortress for that long would be invoking the wrath of the Balaur upon yourself. Either way, fun times had all around.

Pics or it didn't happen. I don't know what Shadowbane is either LOL.

24/7 = the best. If your legion sleeps, you need your Elyos/Asmo allies to keep your fortress.

RvR is not "Fortress A = Legion A only to defend", RvR is "Fortress A = all your faction defends".
