Castle Sieges

Is it just me ~probably~ but does anyone else find the new castle siege times a pain in the backside?

I don't mean the timings on them, but the fact that as they now both appear on the same day, the Map/World Info/Attackers info is useless..

To find out what time each castle is set to siege, we now have to run to each castle..
(or find someone who knows (yeah right)).

Previously, they were on different days, early vs late.

oh well qq over.

One would think clans expecting to take or defend castles would have enough organization to have atleast someone know the exact time it starts?

Those who want to defend a castle know the time, What I am aggrieved with is the finding which castles are on the other timeslot in order for people to farm fame at.

And yes, I know it's possible to teleport around the map.. but with the time on the siege info it wouldn't need to be done, the current system means that the "siege date" column is extraneous to the data present. as it is, a heading saying "next siege @ dd/mm/yyyy" would suffice.

Perhaps the person that signs the clan can inform the clan?

I dunno.

I dont really see how this is a problem. You have no keyboard to ask your clannies? No, wait, that cant be it, you typed here.....

Ya I dunno then.

Smittie,
I assume that Friday nights are your "I'm bored, i'll post some crap on the forums."

Not really.

I am bored, I'll admit that.

But I try not to post crap just to increase my post count. Which ironically will never be 763682.

Back on topic though. Why do you feel that you have trouble knowing what sieges to attend? Are you clan leader? Or just clan member? Does your clan leader not share what sieges you are attending?

I'm actually the leader, and my original post was about the change in mechanic that would be nice to make it easier to find the castles not on the same time as our defence.

Some clannies want to farm some personal fame as well as engage in some PvP practice.

In UK time pre-Chronos time changes, the sieges were at 10pm/2am and so appeared on different days. Made life a little easier.

It is actually a pain in the *** as a clan leader to port to 9 different castles see what times each are who is sign to what etc. then go back to 2 of them and sign to siege.

All that information is server side I do not know why it cant just be listed.

Message of the day in vent, or the one in game should work to inform your clannies.

After telling clannies of this epic thread they are now inquiring, are you guys looking for an ally?

Can unsigned clan take a castle?

Read your question again, and, more than likely, it will answer it self...

Not really.

oh, really?!? never 763682? ummm I think you may reach that special number . . . Atleast I hope you do! Long live Smittie!! (and l2)

Can unsigned clan take a castle?

technically yes, but officially you'll have to have a clan that has signed for the siege to take it. In other words, the clans that sign up and get there can take the castle, for everyone else there's cake. :eek: or pie

unsigned can take a castle if they got an alt clan which CL they can guide to the scribe room and along the way kill all opposition, this is how strong clans take more then 1 castle..

also it's a nice way of free pvp with for 1 side no xp loss..

technicaly clans that are signed just to take fame could die behind castle and not infront :) corpses also create LAG!

MOTD is only possible, once I find which castles are at which time.. which takes us nicely back to the original post..

Wouldnt it be nice to see the times of the sieges on the attackers tab :)

Either you are in an ally defending a castle, in which case you should just sign for that one.

Or you are attacking a castle trying to take it. Figure out which one you are gonna try to take and sign for that.

Or you are just leeching fame, in which case it doesnt matter which one you sign for, so just sign for any.

Most of the time the castles that were on early siege the siege weekend prior to this one, is still in same time slot. So just sign for the same ones all the time?

We signed to defend. as expected.

we can sign for any castle in the other timeslot however. my initial comment, that you fail to understand is that it would be nice to have the times. you are either trolling more, or are a bit simple, or just being deliberately obtuse.

And for your information, the castle we defended on early last siege, is on late this one. so not a totally valid comment.

You are probably the simple one, no offence.

Castles rarely change siege times, you should know what castles are in the other time slot. That's if you are even a half decent clan leader.

Maybe you just dont pay attention to the game much?

again you missed my comment

"And for your information, the castle we defended on early last siege, is on late this one. "

so as our defence castle changed, what is to say the others didn't remember that assumption is the mother of all messups.

Unfortunately this has turned into a mole/smittie spat so you keep your simple minded idea that everything is exactly perfect, and i'll go talk with the grownups.

I assume ur the kid then?

He is, the number in his name is not his age either.

If/when he dies he will become a martyr for the hardships he has had to endure being a clan leader in regards to sieges.

Finally, you accept the pain that I feel is real :)
