Something is missing at Chalman Keep

Sunday night 9/26.

I'm honestly confused...

@Joy_Division I'm trying to figure out what's missing. All I've learned from this picture is that your name is Danny. xD

Sunday Night, no lag?

I don't see the Ice Cream truck that caters for all the DC that throw themselves at Chal west wall.

If you're EP and defended this enough times from the DC potatoes from the mine, you should notice part of Chalman Keep is not there :P

Juhasow

Where is 300 people under keep they're in hide?

Are you talking about the Postern House? I believe one is usually there. I can't zoom in more to see if it something minor on the phone.

Yep. It should be right in the middle of the picture. It was just gone. Wasn't destroyed. Couldn't repair it. The door worked, but the house just wasn't there. It was a weird sight since I've been on those ramparts hundreds and hundreds of times and never seen the walls at 100% and no Postern house.

Sometimes bits of keeps are added and taken away! I've stood outside one and watched as extra 'wings' miraculously appeared out of nowhere...
The postern house roof bit bit can be destroyed, maybe that's what happened in the siege???

Wasn't destroyed that was what so weird. The DC weren;t even serious about seiging (they were trying to farm at the mine). The wall was at 99% and had the scaffolding to repiar it. Repaired the wall, but no matter where I went did not get a prompt to "repair" the Postern. For a minute I was genuinely curious is ZoS sneakily removed it to make more room for counter siege in the next patch (the motivation for the reduced footprint), but then remembered there was no maintenance patch.

It was just a weird sight because that thing always got in the way of siege (especially oils) I wanted to place above the door since DC zergs love to congregate under the door

I could be wrong, but I think it has to do with the level of the keep/ressources. The postern "house" is only there if you've held the mine long enough I believe. It also affects the corners of a keep. If DC have been holding that mine for a long while, it could be the reason why your postern is gone.

The problem is that there's still EP inside of DC's main home keep.

Zouni

Similiar thing happens at BRK, sometimes the outer legde ( where you can place siege) of the corner tower is there and other times it is not. The side which faces the lumber mill.

Astanphaeus

I'm pretty sure the keep needs to upgrade for the postern house structure to appear, much like the corner protrusions.

Agrippa_Invisus

Uhhh. Guys, you do know that you only get postern houses and the turret ledges if the keep's level 2 or higher on the Masonry chart? Remember how the keeps upgrade and need constant repairs to get to 305K HP walls? That's part of it.

moonio

aha.. keeps are mysterious things, walls breaking again after you fix them, bits disappearing etc. and what are all the upward floating and glowing blue things around them?
Some are really badly kept too, especially around AD, with broken masonry and vegetation growing in the paving stones.. tut tut..
Is there a keep/resource levelling guide somewhere... it has always been some kind of dark magic that determines what a keep looks like imo

What if Chalman disappears off of the map just a little bit at a time, then what????

Eventually DC is stuck sitting on a hill wondering what to do next.

Doesn't the keep downgrade if they take the resource, so the gatehouse disappears with it? (on that side of the resource)

... And even then you still haven't learned anything, that's the name of the person she's looking at.

The whole side was sieged down, and then repaired the wall but no one repaired the postern house.

Dont the different resource levels add towers to the keeps.
