Highlights of that night: The guy with 22 ballista kills
Because NA1 was turning into all maulers, xbows, and HA at that same time and many people just GTX.
Is it really necessary to lump maulers into the same category of annoying as Xbows and horse archers?

Maulers are easy to kill with two people using proper teamwork. Unfortunately, no one knows how to use proper teamwork.That's where you use your teammate as a meatshield right?

they are worse. arrows dont have crushthrough.
If you haven't noticed, for the last 4 nights, NA_2 has had more population than NA_1 because of the dedication of a lot of large clans to populate it.
After seeing this video i have can honestly say: I can kill a human a million times easier than a dogAs someone who held his dog when she was put down, I can honestly say I would imagine it would be so much harder doing the same to a human. And I loved my dog like crazy and grew up with her and it was excruciating.
If you can put your face between the flag and my bardiche, just do it. It might save your x5.
People don't like siege because, while agility builds and light armor *can* flourish on it, it does take a certain degree of situational awareness to successfully fight in siege with those builds.
Also, I'll be the first to admit that the currentsiege layoutsmod caters more to strength builds more so than Agility builds.
Personally, I believe a large determinant of the general siege hate comprise of 2 related, but distinctly separate issues:
#1. It's a different "game." [The problem with the Player]
Siege can be a meat-grinder or your own personal slaughterhouse-playground, depending on your experience.
cRPG battle exclusive fighters tend to rail on siege a whole lot more than Strategus participants or even the occassional siege-goer. I believe this is due to a low variation in their repertoire or skill base. They lack the situational awareness required to fight in close quarters combat (CQC), as well as being unable or unwilling to adapt their combat styles or weapons to fit the tight space fighting that is inevitable when engaging on a wall or on a chokepoint.
I personally have started carrying a dagger due to the fact I basically got it for freesies (and who doesn't like free shit). As a side effect, I've found a lot of utility with the knife on siege because it allows me to swing the thing like a maniac unimpeded. I see many people using their Halberds, Claymores, and other large and/or long weapons in close combat. Naturally, these weapons jam on backswings, overheads when they connect with teammates.
Finally, people are not sure how to deal with siege. The NA community as a whole is pretty shit at Siege because of our inexperience with the game mode. We need time to cultivate the proper battle etiquette (someone should really make a list for this). ie Don't stand directly behind the front line, don't report a teamwound JUST because it happened (assess the circumstances before reporting, no one on your team is trying to beat your shit in) etc.
#2. " Teamwork, Cohesion and Synergy™ " [Role warfare]
Siege catches a ton of flak because of the "single mindedness" or the "dumb knuckle dragging str
builds" who traverse the server *cough* kutt *cough*
As I've mentioned, *ALL* builds can thrive in siege, but it takes the mental fortitude and will of each individual combatant to implicitly TRUST each other combatant on the team to play their role (Going to make a separate post for the details).
- In a nutshell, STR builds do frontline combat.
- Shielders quit fucking hiding behind those shields and USE the shields as a linebreaker.
- Agi builds, fuck around with the fatties on the other team; lure them out of their defensive line. Particularly focus on breaking through the line that we try to open for you.
- Balanced builds fortify the line or break through as you see fit. You're the sweepers
- Archers, don't fucking stand around and shoot when the flag is going down. If you can put your face between the flag and my bardiche, just do it. It might save your x5.
- Crossbows, same thing as archers, except that siege might actually be a really great place to practice shotgun tactics.
- Anyone using long weapons; just put them away for now and use something else in CQC.
I had loads of fun playing siege with a 15/24 1h no shield cut damage only and did pretty well, you just can't play like a strength build (you can, it'll just be harder). You have to try to fight where there's space and spread your damage out among opponents who aren't paying attention to you/ hold off multiple foes without going in too deep and getting surrounded. Also another plus is that you can get to places quicker than your teammates, so it helps if you have an understanding of what's going on in the map.
Stabless cut non-long 1h with 5PS and no shield?Very true, ninjas and stealth are actual features of siege.
One thing I forgot to mention is that many times it's more worth it to ignore an enemy and get to your destination than try to get him killed. Deciding how close to the flag you should fight the enemy is also important when thinking about how long it takes for people to spawn and come back.

No better feeling than creeping about the base and either assassinating people, or trying to capture the flag undetected.
(I mean seriously what other way do defenders have of winning other than watching their flag and entryways closely)
I remember keeping an eye on the flag in my full armor. Every few seconds I'd take a gander over at the flag and notice there was one or two fewer people guarding the flag, and I atttributed it to people getting bored and running off (were those bodies always there?). Finally, I get annoyed with people constantly "leaving" the flag and start typing a small essay in chat to get people back on it.I notice the same thing on EU2, but it's good that you start writing that essay ;) dont forget the caps and use a lot of curses!
And that was when I got roflstomped by 3 people who were sitting around the corner ganking all the unsuspecting defenders until they finally finished me off (who was the farthest away from the flag, and also the heaviest armored).
Rolled NA2 with Cikel, Jack, Sandy, Havelle, other Frisians, and myself last night. I have learned one thing about siege from playing it last night; it is easier to win over and over because of a banner stack in siege than it is in battle. I think we won something like 15 straight rounds..(click to show/hide)
