To Upgrade or Not To Upgrade that is the question.....

Patience-Ana · 08-31-2010, 02:36 AM

There has long been a discussion over whether or not you should do this. Some say to do it only for invasions, others still say do it when you want, and even others will say never do it.

Discretion is the better part of valour, yet we HNK'ers never think that way.

So the real question is , do you upgrade or do you not?

What is the "accepted" policy?

When it comes to enemy forts you're holding, only upgrade if you're invading. Only upgrade to level 2 if you think an enemy might be hiding inside when you're trying to get a real fort war going.

When it comes to your own forts... Hell it's your forts and your money, do what you want with it.

I don't like to upgrade because then if you have an even fight the guards and steel door make it kinds unfair for those trying to take it back. Especially if you have a superior force I see no reason to upgrade, only to make it hell to try to get it back for other team lol. Besides it's much more fun to see who can play abit better without the bonus I think^^ lol, I actually think the best fights take place when forts have no doors

When seriously invading upgrade all to 4 though.

I couldn't agree with you more there... As a hunter I delight in camoing into a fort controlled by an enemy with no door.

As long as it keeps Passive outta Algaros, I have zero problem with upgrading it to 2 or 3.

i actually like having to fight a bunch of enemies hiding in a lvl4 fort. its a good challenge

Patience-Ana · 08-31-2010, 06:50 PM

Well people talk alot about not doing it, upgrading, and we do it all the time.

I guess I really thought the purpose was to keep and hold the fort from being attacked.

I mean, a level 3 fort makes it really difficult for a smaller team to actually get the fort, and they make attempts all the time (or they did, seems that attempts on algaros have slowed since we started being so obssessive about defending it).

Your only saying that Wyna, because of his choice in pet names.

Just last night I took a level 3 algaros with 4 others and no conju with ease ^^
But I think its rather dumb to upgrade forts all together.
All it says is "I dont want to fight." or "Hey, I know we have more then you but I want to keep farming."
And you guys upgrading Algaros says the first one.

You act like forts arent going to be attacked. This is Regnum, a place where stuff to do is very limited. Forts WILL be taken. Its a fact. So why not, not waste your gold and have a fun fight. If you are the same patience hunter/Lock or w.e. then you should remember the night me and the same 4 others taking a level 4 fort from you guys. Even after your efforts to defend it.

So again, dont waste your gold :>

Adelle,

Thats your business entirely. I think your statement is an exaggeration, but opinions are what they are just that. That be said, attacks generally on the fort in question have lowered considerably, either way you look at it.

I fully expect it to be taken, I invite it to be taken, you want to put all your effort, or in your case lack of effort, into taking it, be my guest. Thats your business not mine. I suggest you concentrate less on telling others how to play (where I think the OP is just asking for simple opinion), and more on your own style of playing, and how to better that. Or not.

Exaggeration? Hardly. Ask your realm mates who defended it. I was merely showing two examples of how it is NOT that much harder to take a level 3 or 4 fort with a small force, if you read it then maybe you would understand.
In no way was I telling you how to play, as you said opinions are what they are, and in my opinion, leveling a fort is cowardly in general.
I was answering Patience-Ana, with examples and proof, though you can scroll up and see for yourself.
By the way, personal attacks are not classy.
