To Watch A Castle Seige

General Discussion Started Last reply 18 posts
I want to watch a castle seige and I thought we could at the little diamond casting thing but when I click to watch around the time the announcement is made for the castle sieges it just says can not paticipate but I don't want to I just want to watch! How can I watch without getting that message?
The siege must be ongoing and you need to choose a castle that is under siege. If you try to watch Giran siege when it is not under siege, you will get that message. You also need that 500a too ;)
The money isn't a problem at all I just wanted to know why I get that message.. But also it says sometimes that champions of Dion will be teleported to the innercircle, Doesn't that mean that a Seige is about to begin or do they replay a message saying the seiges have started?
From what I've seen, even after the siege started people usually take their sweet time getting ready. After it tells you, you cannot participate just accept or whatever and you can watch. The reason it says that, I think, is because you are actually there, you just cant see yourself. Like for example, I may be wrong on this, but when I watch Olympiad matches, after I leave, for a brief moment I see myself on the battle field :D. It's cool.
It says that any time someone is in the "death box" and uses the GK to port to the throne room, whether a siege is on or not.
Well it shows that message but it doesn't let me accept or anything like I say "OK" and then it just sends me out so I have to click on the casting thing again and click on the castle name and then that message appears again! I guess I'm going to have to wait till I actually know of a seige going on to try and get into watching one again! OH WELL thanks anyways guys :)
When you see "Siege for Castle X has started." system message, you will know that there is a siege going. Sieges are every other weekend, so dont even bother with the thing during the week.

The message of porting defenders into the inner castle is displayed every time a member of the castle owning clan SOEs to castle and uses the gk inside to get from the holding area to the inner castle, so it is no indication of an ongoing siege.
Ok thanks a ton I checked out the Castle Seige part on this site and it says the next seiges that take place are the weekend of April22-23 so I think thats when I'm going to try to do it again! :)
So that's how you watch a siege. I knew it wasn't as easy as finding a comfy spot on the hill near the castle. :)
LOL thats what I was thinking "Maybe it's easier to just go to the castle?" BUT I don't think thats possible hehe
Well you can during a siege, you just might die. At least you can watch while dead.
LOL So if anyone see's my name come up on Seig server asking for a rez "DONT" rez me I was probably killed for a good reason IE.. watching a seige take place and worried about interfering :)

That got me oneshotted when I was level 21.
I'm not so worried I'll bring out my little level 4 LOL
Grab your lvl 4 and go up to the castle 15 or 20 minutes before the siege starts. Typically no one wants to waste a PK on a scout at the front of the castle anyhow, so they'll prolly leave you be.

Pick out your spot, and wait for the siege to start. Most likely you'll be killed as soon as the siege starts, but it doesn't matter much since you'll still have a great seat. LOL
If you aren't signed up for the siege when it starts you get thrown off, so you want to move on only after it starts
Ok so I'll aim for a nice far view on the hills somewhere! and hopefully no one will see me to pk me!
I actually run around on siege fields on my main from time to time, watching ^^ Good SS and when I get the new vid card, good fraps ^^
