I'm not sure about this. Last night on the siege server there were a couple of people building siege towers in the castle just to block off certain routes. Doesn't seem like the proper way to use them imho.

What i heared from chadz it was not intended that siege towers, catapults and healing tents can be built so easy.

Yeah right now it seems like we're playing a sci-fi deathmatch with melee weapons due to the silly fast way things are built....

I was initially totally stoked to discover that C-sites are destructible, but watching them in action, I'm afraid they're not quite fixed. Known issues in the new patch:

It only takes 1 construction material to make a healing tent, and I think 3 to make a catapault, etc. If this is intended, pardon me, but I always thought this would be more like a "many hands make light work" scenario with 25+ people donating a material. Or at the least, one guy throwing them down on each respawn, not just lolmagichereyougo!

Another thing is, if you drop a c-site and then use the materials, if you pick up somebody elses weapon it drops a new copy of c-site and materials, effectively giving you infinite of each so you can make ten siege towers in a matter of minutes, or cover your flag in healing tents. I think something similar to this is also going on with ladders.

If you catapault a wall down during round 1, it will be gone for all other rounds in that game. This would be great if you didn't have the chance to be autobalanced to defense after all your hard work only to have it bite you in the ass, haha.

Lastly, the potential to grief with c-sites is still very high, and I still see it being done. People covering the flag with a siege tower (which I might add is damn near unbreakable- at least a healing tent only takes 1 hit), and blocking areas with the now destructible, but still annoying, c-sites themselves. I wish we played in a community that would at least use these things for their intended purposes, and we have some people who do, who are wont to abuse them because they want to see them used properly, but others are, frankly, just trolls.

Please be aware, if you abuse Siege equipment by building towers on flags and stacking towers, etc, you will be punished harshly! Consider this your fair warning!

I keep getting this too sometimes. Then I'll come back a round later and it's not.

What I have been told is that when Siege fills up, it is automatically password protected. The password does not drop off until populations gets to <70 souls.

P.S.

I have never even seen a catapult.

Is this rule still in effect? Native_ATS said we can make healing tents/use c-sites again.

I was building a healing tent and was told its not allowed. I looked at rules and it said nothing about it on the rules. Then they said check forums so reluctantly I came on here to check and here is the rule. This can be confuesing to most people as it was to me. Please put this rule on the rules on the server rules so people dont make siege towers or what not that are new to the server and get banned or in deep **** for it.Ty for your time.

This rule was designed for a bug where every material made 30 or 35 units for a building. I don't think it's still an active rule, but I'm not sure. But it's not really viable to build siege equipment in siege without 20 people using material ;)
