Petition to fix/move fortress portals!

[redplague]

I understand Fortresses are still a WIP however...portals are horribly implemented and direly need to be moved.

1. When I'm a defender WHY should I need to run back to a far away point in my capital city to get to the fort?? This is beyond odd. It totally takes away from fighting in the zone up until.
2. When I'm an attacker WHY would I need to run to the end of the zone?? Why should I have to worry about staying alive to be able to enter?
(do you realize the portal in KV is right next to the order warcamp? can you expect what might happen with this? lol)

If I were to come up with a list of the WORST ideas possible of how to get attackers and defenders into a fortress these might be at the top of the list.

Recommended solution but would love to hear others: Move both portals to the warcamps in the t4 zone that was just taken, easy and allows people a stress free way to enter. In #2 and especially last night our late arrivals to the portal were simply being farmed by order preventing them from being able to enter the fort. Shouldn't the fight for the last T4 zone allow such access, not fighting to get to the portal itself? Another example is Black Craag, destro WC is right next to the order portal, pretty idiotic.

Please consider this. It shouldn't be this difficult and disruptive to enter a fort.

The fact that defenders can sit at the portal and cut away attackers reinforcements is kinda cool, goes in line with how the rest of the game is played (especially before introduction of BO portal) and creates some interesting action even after the fort battle has started.

However due to how much easier it is for defenders compared to attackers to do so in BC and KV and how the forts were implemented as pop-limited sub-zones rather than part of the open zone i think i have to agree with the OP - it is better to move Fort portals to warcamps.

Black Crag is about the inverse for Order. Due to the long run and proximity of Dest Warcamp, you can never make it. I could see it if there was a way to fly to Dwarf Chapter 22 but as it is, and as I have whined in another thread, its pretty much be online at the start or you don’t get to play.

It may also reduce the inner realm hate when half of the players go to the portal and the other half have to get the BOs and then can move to the portal while getting stalked.

If the portal is in the warcamps then everyone can reach it. Be it directly after moving there or being whiped back into the warcamp after taking the zone.

Good thing the staff didn't implement the relics in fort part if you folks already have issues with the actual portal situation.

I do miss the relic raids but we can't have both although. Or may be, let's see. who knows.
