PTS Patch Notes - Towers have no doors???

Psilent✭✭✭✭✭This is a good change. Most people quit coming into towers, now in their hubris, they'll flood through the choke point of the tower and die in a glorious explosion of AP.

Removing doors from resources, yet cheat engine and loading screens *STILL* have not been addressed.

No they won't. Most will set up siege and aim it at the lower floor and it will become a siege-v-siege show down. With the siegers outside having the advantage.0 -

Yes we are running in this tower to set up 12 siege weapons because darn it it's one of the few places left to avoid being sieged to death! 0 -

Not quite 12 sadly, I wish. Two on each side and one in front of the door facing the stairs. Then two oils up on the 2nd floor. Then cover the floor in snares, volcanic runes, bombard and talon roots. 0 -

You can get oils on the lip of the third floor and dump them as they come up the stairs.

Certain resource towers are great for 3rd floor tower farming. Those will get some more use next update!0 -

Sigh.
You can not enter towers, you can run wherever you want in Cyro or dungeons or trials or not log in game at all, but it won't change fact that somewhere in Cyro someone using flawed mechanic of abusing doors after intentionally loosing resource to gain unnatural advantage over enemies...Oh, wait ZOS fixed it now.
You're right. You can just not enter the tower. Mind blowing. Strategery. Derp.1 -

It won't, because this is literally the FIRST thing you check when you make a set like this. It's almost like making a car but forgetting to check if the brakes actually work.0 -

"Best players get Emp"........ so the sucide bombers using vicious death to gain massive amounts of AP are the Best? Hardly would regard them as the best lol. Its not hard to run into a pile of enemies as a bomb blade to gain tons of AP.
Emp is just a time sink now. Play 24/7 and be rewarded YEEEAAAHHHHH!

The only reason emp is a time sink atm is 90% of the players who are actually good quit\won't even consider playing the game more than a few hours a day to maintain their own sanity. If people played like they used to you'd see the top 2-3 of each alliance near or above 30 mil at the end of every cycle.First PS4 NA Grand Overlord, Stormproof, and Flawless Conqueror.

Everyone knows how to do it. they were claiming earlier in thread it was to escape being sieged to death so that they can set up siege and kill with a time delay. lulz1 -

✭Just watched about 40 AD run in the tower they have about 15 heavy armor templars in their group. Once EP flips the flag they will in there for atleast a couple hours. because the door is glitched. I'm confused about what they are doing they can't be farming ap if they are sharing it with so many people0 -

It would be neat if Emperorship standing had a daily reset. Giving ton's of people incentive to try and obtain it. Obviously you would have an Overall score to show who obtained the most AP in the campaign but i think having a system that was 1/2/3/5/7 days per reset would be fun in a month long campaign.
On scourge reset i tried to put some time in to get on the leaderboards with a group of friends. Was able to get top 1-5 spot for the first 12 hours of the campaign until i went to bed. I just don't have the time to go for Emperor these days. One day on a weekend is all i've got before players who got time will pass me
It would be nice if we had a pop locked 7 day campaign that was as good as Scourge (and when i say good i mean any alliance capable of getting Emperor throughout prime time.. not the immense lag
).

Mr_Nobody✭✭✭✭✭I am always solo or duo, sometimes it happens that i am defending keeps while outnumbered or simply zerg surfing... that being said I never had any problems with groups farming towers... but I like the change.
Changes like that are good, they bring something new to the game. Be it tactics, new types of farming or whatever. Maybe now we will see groups jumping out/off the tower and and back-banging the people who just ran in? Huehueheuehu.
