NA Siege is Dying

[Herr_Thomas]

I'd be in the 70s if I had higher rated gloves than Red Wisby, but such is the price for fashion.

You should try the gilded hourglass gauntlets, they are what's made for Trans armor. They also have more punching power.

Literally the only reason I wear Trans is because it's the only decent looking armor in the game, IMO. I've been wearing the Haubergeon lately, but it's a bit underwhelming.

You better be wearing Shynbaulds as well, Gristle.

But back on topic, implement better maps and 90% of the issues with Siege will be fixed.

Namely, get rid of these fucking castles on top of a hill. Sure, it was done a lot historically because it gave the defenders an advantage, but walking up a hill for 45 seconds, just to hit a door for a minute 30, and then get submitted to the entire enemy team forming a meat grinder that not even a shield and 70 body armor can save you from, is pretty god damn ball breaking. Flat maps also give Cav a lot of opportunities as well. Another thing is that the Flag cap radius should be bigger. It may be hard coded from Native, though.

Also, add battalion flags to Siege.

Hourglass Gauntlets' wrist guards aren't as big or as flashy as Red Wisby, which I think fit perfectly over Transitional's arm plates. The red also goes well with FCC's yellow. I am a big fan of any Heraldic armors, and I agree that Transitional is the best looking of them all. I love it!

I wear Iron Greaves with my Transitional, because they keep with the theme of mixed plate and chain.

Shynbaulds come in the same pack as Transitional. Check mate.

Iron greaves best greaves.

Haven't seen the server in a while.
It's time has passed.

[Phew]

Is NA siege down for good? Haven't seen it up in like 3 days. It's the only server I play, so if it's gone, I'll probably quit crpg.

Hopefully it's only down while they improve the map rotation or work on the way the game-mode works, like the posters in this thread have suggested. Would be nice to get a post with some official news, though. And yeah, if siege is gone and nothing else with respawning replaces it, Imma quit CRPG too. I'm not into rageball the way it plays just now.

Sorry to double-post but I went back and a read of the pages I'd missed from this thread, where people discuss the problem with clans using better teamwork than random pick-up groups.
A good way to help counter that would be if the Siege server welcome/MOTD message listed some public chat server for PUGs to use. Teamspeak, C3, Mumble, whatever.
I don't want to derail the topic too much but one other thing to point out about that problem is that when Spook Island was around, at least he put a lot of effort into trying to get the non-clan side of siege to organize and use tactics. Whatever else was going on, fact is that with somebody giving orders in chat, the PUGs did play better, and ever since he was banned nobody's really been doing that consistently.

[Elindor]

I agree Artie, a public TS for siege would be good.

As far as Spook goes - you are right, he did try to bring people together, and sometimes it worked.
But lets look at three people I know who have put serious effort into doing that.

Spook Island, Demento, and my buddy Hindel.

They all expect MORE out of pubs, and try to give them direction.
And some have gotten some decent results, but they all also suffered from serious rage issues because of it

And just to note (not sure if your comment was directed at me or not).... I wouldnt want to "nerf teamwork" or something stupid like that.  The question has always been simply if banner balance should have a fall off threshold where it starts splitting big big big groups up, and where that threshold should be.

The more that pubs get stomped the more likely people are to join clans, which promotes more teamplay and fun for everyone.

Siege died (in population as well as literally) shortly after Spook was banned. Coincidence? #spookdiedformysins #freespook
