But you could use them as a ramp to get on the walls with your horse more often than now.

My plate charger never work on ladder, it just stop, even if i jump onto the ladder it wont work, it just got stuck.

I thought that the removal of ladders only included battle, and not siege. Ladders in battle are kinda retarded, but ladders in siege is more logic, I mean its a fucking castle, you need to climb up walls, and the default ladders and siege eq. can easly be camped by the enemy so you get spawn killed, place 3 great mauls at the default ladder opening and you got a massacre.

In every single siege map there is a ladders, there is always ladders, i dont see the point of adding them since they are already in the map

The thing is, with a coordinating clan using ladders, like I've seen HRE do, they just lay down a straight pathway to the flag which completely unbalances every map to the attackers favour. Still, I like what they add in Siege, but there should be some sort of limit indeed.

True, many attackers, especially two handed or people who has weapon that hold weapon slot 2.  Every time they just put a ladder up, charge, then if they die they re going to put up another ladder again. and some smart pants like the HRE you mention, put a ladder straight behind the wall just near the flag. all 10 HRE came, kills everyone, capture the castle in less than 1 minute . The cost of the ladder is only about 7000 and that is not very costy, people can still spam tons of ladders with this low price. would be good to increase it to the same price as CS

I like the change to siege, as you get to see how the maps were intended to be played without ladders.

There seems to be more fighting going on. Definately more frags going around.

Siege can be frustrating with only a few ways to the flag, but then siege always had frustrations.

Dude are you really complaining about a clan taking a castle which was defended by randomers in less than 1 minute?

They might have only done it in 1:30 without ladders!  :lol:
Maybe you are not bad, but you are a boring person. Well, that's the end of the matter.

Until maps are re-worked, re-thinked, re-designed - there should be no ladders in siege. 
 
Crappy maps are being added too often, since just like in other aspects of life - the majority prefers tons of cheap garbage, to a few quality products. 4/5 maps have such a weak design, that ladders and CS totally break the balance, making it much easier for attacker or defenders respectively.

LIES

Castles in rotation should only be those that dont have pre set ladders and siege towers, so that only way to enter the castle would be trough player positioned ladders

You are free to set up your own ladder to destroy the ladder bridge.

I don't even know how that would work, but right there what you say. Is fighting ladders with ladders really what you want siege to be?

I'm convinced chadz has been attempting to indirectly kill cRPG for the last year or so....

And with the broken stats servers and removal of ladders, he's finally done it! :lol:
