Siege event every Saturday or Sunday?

[Penitent]

Well I don't think the server can switch game modes. You would need an admin to manually switch over to siege, but I wouldn't mind doing that every Saturday or Sunday. I'll add a poll to see what the community thinks.

If u want to have siege revived just close the battle server for one day and remove throwing weapons from siege.

but why closing battle server? can we just have battle and siege on 1 server (something like 5xbattle map, 2xsiege/conquest map) one admin should make a small map pool for siege/conquest maps and switch it manualy or something like that

I dont see why you'd have to switch Battle to siege and force everyone to play siege when there are people that absolutely despise siege not me, just make regular siege double xp for those days.

@Zeus
i do not wanna be rude but im talking about Eu players, i know that some ppl hate battle and some ppl hate siege but all in all player base (EU) is too small to play siege and a lot of players from siege stoped playing Crpg because they don't want to 'play aids tactics' and it would be awesome to have more ppl in this game

Yeah I don't think forcing people to play siege by making it the only option is right either. They need to keep both up and if the majority want to play siege so be it at least players have a choice. I don't understand why they would need to switch na_1 to siege rather than just opening up a siege server and leave battle server up as well, like it always was when siege was in game. Just bring the siege servers back and leave battle alone.

First of all, the siege servers are up, it's just that nobody plays on them since the summer holidays ended. Why? Nobody knows for sure, but it went from 120 people at one point to 30 and down, down, down.
Could be that it was populated mostly by people, who got Warband in the summer sales and then they didn't bother, could be there is a much more sinister thing going on. Either way, you just said to leave things alone, maybe out of ignorance maybe because you have an ulterior motive. I won't try to persuade you to change your opinion on the matter, but consider this.
If we force people to play Siege every now and then, they will get accustomed to it. Few Sundays later, people will be hopping on EU2 even on weekdays.

Wow so much bullshit :O siege is dead since more than one year now and it was because at first HRE left, then DRZ left and finally greys stopped playing siege.

There is nothing about the maps, there are no ladders needed. The maps werecgreat and the only reason why people stopped playing is that siege requires atleast 60 players to play properly. Player base reduced because the 2 biggest siege clans left and people werent populating the server anymore. I tried it atleast 50 times, was poking everyone on their ts, was gettin some eques on the server but with the low player base every conquest map destroied the population. (Wrote about 500 QQ threads in that time, nobody gave a fuck)

So actually for reviving siege, u have to restart strat in 2015 and remove the bugged conquest maps. Siege is dead, sry. It's not like I actually constantly wrote suggestions n'shit the fist half year of 2k15. Every siege addict left the game by now. Everyone. If u think u can bring them back, loool go try it.

Good! High Ping can contribute a little strength in addition to battle.

You and your high ping

resisting urge to call you the High Lord Ping intensifies

can contribute as much strength as you want in NA while this thing happens. Nobody at all will be upset if (when) you teamwound us greatly. Nearly all of us love you, you know.


And normally I'd be upset at changing mode of NA/EU1 to siege for some event. By normally, I mean in the olden days of staggering population and active turbo-nerds to marshall everyone around. Sure, I'd take a populated battle server over siege literally every time, but I don't have those options. If the measure of changing the gamemode for an event would indeed bring significantly more population, I don't mind at all breaking the hearts of those who despise siege but love battle.

I'll be breaking my own heart too, after all. I don't like siege one bit. But I'm too desperate for other motherfuckers to fight in cRPG, so I'm all good with desperate measures.

Nice idea but resetting strat should be no! priority

Yes, I love you all, too!
Don't be disappointed, don't be sad, just be happy!
Only killing, happy killing! Waving weapon, blood splash, before the death of MOD, cherish the time, so pure to play. Don't think too much!

I have the bad feeling that we are going to loose more players than we would win if suddenly on a sat/sun peektime there is siege instead of battle. there will be loads of people logging of again because they entered EU1 for battle and will just feels betrayed by beeing forced to play siege.
I don't know how long it takes to change a server from one mode to the other. BUt if it is just a matter of a few seconds server downtime I think it would be a nice Idea to have a siege map once an hour. So siegelovers have somthing to look forward to and battlelovers will just accept it (even enjoy it) because they know it's only one map until battle is back.

[Yuang]

I don't know how long it takes to change a server from one mode to the other.

I know, less than a minute. In my experience, after two hours of siege, people are very tired, shouting to switch to battle mode. CHN server experience!

Zeus makes a good point, Make siege double XP and battle normal or 1/2 when you do this! Also i jumped on a native siege server yesterday i think it was GK siege or something and it had over 120 players and it was amazing!
