Wall Farming

Sheuib

It is my opinion that AP should not be given for repairing walls. This is rediculous that people can be number 1 on the leader board just because they repair walls all day long. Number 1 should be the person that actually contributes to the campaign the most by taking keeps, defending keeps, and killing the enemy.

Nope.
I always wanted to be an emperor who built the Truflame.

There is a limit to how many walls you can repair. Like maybe 1 keep every hour or so and have to compete against other stone masons. Repairing alone can't get you #1, you have to kill people to.

uh for starters, they dont repair walls all day long. emperor leaderboards is very expensive, very tedius. yes you repair walls. you are in a group, you do things to help group, heal, tank dps whatever. its a lot more then just repairing walls.

Yes I know it is more than just repairing walls. But, why should that even be part of the equation. It shouldn't. Being emp should be just taking keeps, defending keeps, and killing enemies.

You can get emp by repairing walls only on inactive campaigns. Gl doing it on Trueflame.

not that big a deal, like other have pointed out cant do it all day at some point your keeps will be at max level, cant ninja repair any longer, I am sure there is some exploit for wall repairs I would be surprised if there was not, seems like this game is exploitable at about every turn, shame really.

But repairing your keep is an important part of cyrodiil and if used properly should reward you with something, hard enough to get walls repaired even with it giving AP.

No, thanks. That's my only chance of getting emp ;c

*runs of to repair walls*

Wall repairing gets you less AP than you use, so it takes a considerable investment to get far with all repairs. Furthermore, repairing walls does actually contribute to the campaign unlike many of the AP farming people who reside near the top of the leaderboards.

What's wrong with AP farming ? And how is itmore condemnable than roleplaying as a mason?

you get ap for doing things that help the alliance, sure the number of ways are limited but they are there, damaging an enemy thats killed, healing an ally that took damage, and repairing keeps to keep enemy out.

i would rather see them add ap for damaging enemy walls, then take away ap from repairing walls.

This would be great. We would no longer see the days of one person with 2 ballistas down and 10 people "guarding" him.

And taking down walls should reward a certain amount of AP. Nothing really special, just enough to get new players a heads up that they've got the right idea. (As a corollary, give no AP for corners or postern houses.)

Personally I don't mind the rep farmers as much as someone resource boosting or similar. At least the walls are repped.

Careful there. Last time woodworkers went on strike we lost resource doors. If you take away the AP gained from repairing walls, stonemasons might go on strike making Cyrodiil a huge open playground for large groups butting heads with each other.

Well....some actual emperors were known for war.....and some for building...and some for both.

Sorry, I'm having trouble taking the core complaint here seriously, no matter how heartfelt it is.

That danged Recent button is a trap!

I'm saying. Who's got the cash to repair walls 24/7?
