Camping In Fort Towers - Page 8

Disagreeing with the OP here, it's a perfectly valid tactic however annoying it may be. All it takes is a bit of teamwork to deal with the problem.

I runned to meni/trelle sometimes with pauluzz, brake door and wait in tower to kill people who come.
Its very funny, but its annoying when ignis got more then we have and wait us in tower + most syrtians cant work in a team, they scream ACA TOWER and run into the tower aloneXD I think that annoys me more then ignis

+1 I think all realms should use this tactic at all times - don't defend the door even if you outnumber your enemy's just run to the top of the tower wait and farm

For the record, at the latest this started at Eferias sometime around the release of Invasions. I imagine people have been doing it before that, too.

Im fairly certain (to the OP), that what you speak of has been considered a valid military tactic for ages and ages, creating and using obstacles and defences, etc. Using ground, buildings, structures of any kind to best advantage has not changed much either, and is just as valid.

Would you rather us build a giant wooden rabbit, and bring it up to the fort / castle door, and knock, in the hope youll roll it inside.

Or if we build this giant wooden badger......

Yes, but usually when there are only a few left or taking a GC - whats happening now is the ppl in the tower actually outnumber the ppl trying to clear the fort... Maybe its just me but shouldn't ppl be defending the flag???

That's only started happening since this thread popped up. A coincidence, I'm sure

Its actually kinda funny listening to chat - "How do we get 15 igges out if there are only 8 of us?" comedy then in-sues...

Prolly should take a vid next time...

I agree about the tower camping, how the heck are we supposed to try to defend our realm if all they do is stay up @ the top of the tower & pick off people 1 by 1. U can see a darn thing when u going up the tower because the wall gets in the way, and by the time u get into position you get knocked down & killed in 2 hits, but there are 5 or 6 people attacking 1 person @ the same time so there is NO CHANCE to get the enemy. That is just wrong.

If the tower's stairway was 10m away from the wall with a rope railing on the outer side of it so u don't fall off, that tactic would be okay, because then we would have a chance, instead of just getting slaughtered all the time.

Taralyn,

Go get a couple of high level hunters, with level 5 stalker. And take a team of 10 up there, and take the team out.

There are a variety of ways to get up there, and root out the team thats in it. Using the sight limitation doesnt invalidate the technique. It might make it more difficult, but then it causes you to create and or engineer just as annoying a way to fix the problem.

I still say its better to roll a giant wooden badger up to the door.
