Captured some in-game video of the Tutorial Cutscenes for the Abyss Keep Sieging. Pretty much teaches you all the basics about the Abyss, Keep Sieging, and the many aspects of Abyss Warfare in general. Enjoy! (+Reps appreciated ^^)

i have a question about siege/keep taking in Aion. is it similar to DAOC? guild can defend the keep from inside, different strategies, siege weapons etc.

comparisons would be very helpful.

thanks!

[Vlesh]

[xinner]

Yes, guilds can defend keeps. While the attackers are trying to break down the doors, defenders are reinforcing the doors. Not sure exactly what types of siege weapons defenders might get (most likely ballista-style things on the walls), but there are siege weapons in the game. Keep sieges are pretty tactical for both sides.

Once a legion conquer an area, is that area accessable by the entire race? or only the said legion that conquered it to begin with?

By area, I take it you mean a Keep? The ownership of the keep goes to whoever does the most damage to the Guardian. If the most damage was done by a member of a guild, that guild gains ownership of the keep. But the rewards for killing the Keep Guardian and capturing the keep go to all who attended. The guild that gains ownership however, gains bonus spoils, and can set taxes on the NPC vendors that spawn in the Keep (Abyss item vendors, which are very popular end-game). The entire race can enter the keep and purchase items from the vendors, but the ownership guild gets a cut from all profits made by the vendors. If the guild wanted to make it so no one used the vendors, they could theoretically jack the tax rate up to the maximum, to dissuade people from buying from those vendors (but I don't know why they would do that)

If the highest damaging source on the Guardian was not guilded, the keep is owned by the entire race, and no one can adjust taxes on the vendor, or gain a cut percentage from profits made. It just stays at default tax rate until the next turnover.

that was awesome. thanks.

Thank you very much for this...I had similar questions that have gone unanswered in the Q&A forum, so really appreciate this. Mainly I was concerned that our Rank 1 guild of 6-10 players would not ever have the chance of participating in sieges and getting any benefits from it...but now if we can at least get everybody focused on the guardian there's a small chance even a small guild can win out on a castle, hehehe.
