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

[Patience-Ana]

Well, Wynn was only coming to my defense. So how about I join him and come to my own defense? In my opinion, upgrading a fort to allow time for additional defense forces to arrive is very very logical. It is not cowardly. And by calling it cowardly, Altara, you are being inflammatory. And furthermore, it looks like you DID exaggerate a bit, after all, didn't you? There were more than 5 when you took the ugpgraded Algaros, huh?

I am not an experienced forum poster. I have other priorities. But I am tired of hearing so much whining and bitching about the upgrading of Algaros. Just deal with it, ok? Because frankly, we will continue to do what we deem to be appropriate regardless of what anybody thinks. Obviously there are varied opinions. It seems that many are not grounded in logic, but instead are quite subjective.

Preparation H is good for inflammation.

You're right I apologize we did do it six instead of five, so we did it with four.

Again valid proof. So stop with the personal attacks, attempts of trolling, grow up a tad and re-read everything I have posted in this thread. Maybe you will get it now. :]

Now that we have that settled, here's keyboard cat:

Ok, I admit that "really difficult" was a poor choice of words. Upgrading a fort just means it takes a smaller team more TIME to take the fort. AND, if there are players online who care about defending the fort, they might be able to get there in time to prevent its capture. Or, if someone is actually AT the fort, they can alert allies to the attack when it begins, and possibly prevent capture of the fort. In your video, it appears that the fort was unoccupied. When we invited you to try and take it, the fort was occupied. Speaking for myself and Wynn only, I don't believe either of us were even logged into the game when you made that video.

Necroverus, I believe that posts to this forum are supposed to be in English, aren't they?

It seems that you are one of those people, Altara, who always has to have the last word. So, just note that if I don't respond to any future posts by you, it is NOT because I am intimidated or I concede that you have "won". It will simply be because arguing with you is not how I choose to spend my time.

And I am already very much grown up...probably more so than you, so let's not go there. That statement is yet another example of an inflammatory statement by you.

This is where Ill remind everyone that its called a "war" zone for a reason. There is a war going on. And in conflict, there are conditions, if you really want to get political about it, fine, call it Just Ad Bellum. You step on my soil, and take my fort, I have the equal right to take yours, or stop you from taking mine, for whatever level that takes. In the case of regnum there is a clearly defined path to a goal in this conflict. Collection of gems to gain an advantage over your opponents in the continuing conflict. Albeit true that the war in this case is ultimately never-ending, or it seems that way, its still just that. A war.

If Fort upgrading keep you from farming the fort for RP, great.

If Fort upgrading keeps you at bay for just a few more seconds, so I can call in reinforcements, great.

If Fort upgrading introduces you to a Guard captain when the door goes down and it takes you a while to recover from that, Great.

Kinda cheesy to do it, but Ill even cite the Sun Tzu.

Capturing an empty level 3 is easy of course. Without doubt however, it does increase the time taken to capture the fort, and I can see how it would give time for reinforcements to arrive should the fort be camped.

Whether an individual or group choses to upgrade a fort within their own realm, is entirely up to them if that's the way they wish to play the game, who am I to say "No, you must play in this way".

I am personally against upgrading enemy forts that we may capture, especially when we already outnumber the enemy. It just ruins the fight, and there is no challenge involved in farming the enemy.

I see no problems with upgrading forts within your own realm though. I actually enjoy taking part in capturing an upgraded fort, knowing that there's gold waiting for me!

Also, imho, I don't see how it is cowardly to upgrade a fort preemptively.

I will agree with that.
