Proposed Small Tweak to invasion system.

BigManOnCampus · 04-03-2010, 03:24 PM

I was thinking today. The invasion system could be made a little more fun if the conflict were extended. As it stands, as soon as you get all the gems, you can open the portal. Why not instead create a countdown allowing enemy realms to attack counter-invade to retrieve their gems? It doesn't have to be long, perhaps only an hour or so.

The big disadvantage of this is that invasion forces would have to stick around after finishing their work to reap the rewards. I see this as potentially a big negative myself and I've never opened the portal.

The big advantage is it gives enemy realms a chance to put real pressure on the victorious realm to protect all 6 gems. As it stands, the portal gets opened and the gems get reset instantly, leaving the victors no real obligation to defend their own realm after owning the other two.

I'm more inclined to wait out and see what NGD has up their sleeve for invasions.

And how do you mean counter-invade? Like we can just bump in to their realm or that we have 1 hour to get castle and fort then wait 30 mins and invade?

Deffinitly instant,

would be very unfair if they first need to open the realmgate and then again wait 15 or even more minutes the most of them would be dead and at the resseruct spot so no

i dont think it would make much of a difference in anything except making people bored. if a realm has enough people to invade another realm, they are GOING to have plenty to defend their own realm. it would just be delaying the inevitable.
