Defending Keeps with OIL

[rphabib86]

Hi everyone!

Since almost every night a realm has a much bigger amount of players and keep capturing keeps and zones, and, because of that, many players of the other realm are unable to hold a defense, I was wondering the old OIL from the live should be introduced in the game.

Of course the OIL is not strong enough to hold a keep, but it would help the players that are outnumbered and want's to defend their realms and keeps.

What do you gys think about?

Tks.

I've also gave thought to this as well.

I'm not sure if the Devs can code this in.

I have no doubt they already plan to Implement Oil.. As well as Artillery/Ballistae and Battering Rams. Cant wait.. So many great memories from live with those things. Great times watching people get kicked off the battering ram because they were failing the minigame.

And it has the exacte opposite effect when the underdogs tries to take a keep themselves. Back to the drawing board.

Some of my best memories of WAR were defending a keep with oil, while having huge AAO.

Would gain several levels and full influence in just one good keep defense, even if they took the keep in the end.

I don't see why go back to the drawing board.
Of course the oil mechanic would come with the entire mechanic, I mean, with RAMS and ballistics, items that could be used by both sides, defenders and attackers, what bring balance to the battle itself.

In the Live, a well mented party (with a decent healer and tankers), could destroy a door with the RAM even when the OIL was being used.

This items can make the battles for keeps much more interesting and diversified.

Believe me, like the other guys said above, it brings so much fun in to the game.

Yes, I agree - more options means more fun - That's why I support the flying White Lions.
I think catapults should be able to fling gobos up on the walls
Oil is great - although right now three pits of shade in front of the door do quite well.

I asked this question once too Azarael while he was in game chat and he stated that they do not have any idea at the moment as too how the siege mechanic worked or was implemented. I have faith they will figure it out one day with the quality of work they have been doing but just be aware as to why it has not yet been implemented.
