Siege Set Up Time/Range Poll [Just a Suggestion]

aco5712

Not saying that siege is doing too much damage. I quite enjoy the change to the siege damage. Makes the keep takes so much harder.

What i propose is one of 2 things. Extend the time it takes to set down siege or increase the minimum range.
Right now, the minimum range for a ballista bolt is literally 1m ahead of the ballista. This coupled with the quick set up time, makes them virtually ground oils all over again. I have had this used quite a few times on me and my group. So what i think is a good compromise to stop these "new" ground oils, is increase the set up time or extend the minimum range.

This wouldnt effect keep takes drastically because if you arent set up to defend, then that's your group/faction's fault.

Let me know what you think of my proposal.

Extend the set up time

Where is the both option?! If anything, definitely extend the set up time. I do agree about the 1m ballista thing being like oil pots again... You were suppose to keep that quiet though.. Now everyone knows and will start doing it.. Sad days to come

Quicker people know, the quicker zos nerfs, its how it works. Sorry, forgot to include a both option.

Extend the set up time

I am fine with siege although wouldn't mind increased set up time purely because i have been in situations where i am fighting two other players where one simply places down a fire balista. I like that we can do this, so i certainly never want siege restricted to keep areas, but i do think time to set up and take down siege should be increased.

Both.

Both, Extend the set up time and Increase the minimum range. 3 fire ballista inside a resource tower the fire at 1 m distance is just a joke.

Neither, i dont like this idea

It's fine has is, nothing beats a bunch of people chasing others to a gate of a outer wall and poping up a siege weapon and giving them some fresh fire to the face.

Extend the set up time

Increase setup time to about 4 seconds (that is very long in fight, you have to prepare then).
I do not agree with the increased range because it's not hard to just stay out of the way in open field and in keep fights I still want to be able to give that shot right on the floor if some zergball just runs directly towards my ballista. You don't hit anyone if they flank you anyway (wich is as it should be).

However, there should really be a "both" option in the poll.

Sounds like you just aren't making an effort to adjust to the meta

Extend the set up time

Maybe they could make the siege weapon damage buff only occur within a certain radius of a keep?
