I know somebody started a thread about this recently but i felt that it needed brought back up. I tower a lot and i have noticed lately an insane amount of blocking at all the towers except snow because its not very easy to block there and most guilds don't attack there often. and of course castle or as the noobs call it soul of ninjas. S.O.N. just never really seems to care to block the door. I dont see why alot of players have such a dislike for soul.
i see group spam blocking at the door leading to the tower room at Sardons, and with the spikes moving around and the defending guild re-spawning near the flag it is very difficult to take control of the tower. I have heard Sardz got changed a little bit already because of issues with towering. However between the sliding spikes and pricks like FD spam blocking the door by the time a few ppl from your guild squeeze passed the door you have like 1 life container left and it wont take long for the defending guild to kill you and send you back to the re-spawn point just before the hallway.
At mod i have seen a lot of blocking of the stairs leading up to the stairs to the flag room keeping the defending guild from defending the flag. i have also seen ppl both from the defending guild and from attacking guilds glitch/lag block the entrance stairs to flag room as well.
Same kinda deal at swamp where ppl lag/glitch block door to flag room. I don't see it much at swamp as the other towers.
At DW i have only seen the defending guilds block the stairs on each side leading up to the door to the flag room. but not all the time and i don't think its a problem at this tower.
And finally YORK the noob tower. every once in awhile i see ppl from the defending guild blocking the cave exit to the flag area. which is annoying, but not the major problem at this tower. The problem is when a player and 9/10x its a pker and not a member of the defending guild some how wedges them selves in the cave entrance door at the front of the fort and just continually re-spawn in the same spot wedged in the door. I know you can go around either side and go through the other entrance to get to the flag area. However alot of times the defending guild will block with a bunch of ppl at the other opening at the back of the fort and IMO its much more difficult to take the tower when this happens and it takes much longer to walk around the side to attack the flag than it does going through the cave on a mount.
I realize there has to be a balance kept as you don't want it to be impossible to defend towers but you also don't want it to be nearly impossible to take a tower. And there are always jerks out there "trolling" and ruining the game for lots of players. so what do you do? nothing and just get massive reports ever day of players cheating to keep a tower or to gain a tower. then hand out bans or reset there character? or try and remodel several towers? I have said it before at the very least I think they need to tweak sardz and mod by adding an extra entrance or making the door or stairs larger to fit more players like the original thread suggested. The only other thing i can think of is start a petition on here to get the admins to change the towers or getting as many ppl as possible to email the admins at
[email protected] about the issues with towering in hopes of them changing the towers.
