    How many PC/NA DC does it take to capture a keep?

    One DC on a siege engine for half an hour hopelessly plunking away at the wall.

    Forty DC to derp underneath the wall, dying to siege fire, arrows, and oils.

    If you don't believe me, go check out Chal, it's a miracle that we ever take it.

    Well if it's EP, there's 1 guy sieging and 30 nightblades in stealth who will run away as soon as there's an actual fight.

    I rolled my present sorc AD because my main sorc was DC and too many DC zergs (the CN days).

    Now that I am AD its like playing alongside a bag of yellow potatoes. I cant even go off to the side and take a resource without an army of yellow following me and showing up. I wish those crossswords on the map would go away.

    3.

    Maybe 8 if Telel is running a group.

    The rest of the server is just alts who feed free points to team purple.

    Now the better question is.

    How many Tucker's and Griff's need to be at the same keep to defend it from those 8 members of the Dumbminion?

    Depends on which Server you are on. Xbox NA? At least 50 if there are 10 EP or DC protecting a keep.

    Honestly think they never learn to seige running at the back of a zerg.

    Usually, all of them.

    Although to be fair most keep battles are faction events unless one faction is being pushed from both sides, then sometimes they will try to defend both keeps. Although usually it is two factions stacked at one keep while the third faction is free to take the rest of the map. Even then the whole third faction will pvdoor empty keeps one at a time. That is how it is on TF PC/NA at least.

    The same complaints come from all factions lol. People switch to avoid a play type but end up in the same situation. Zergs and derps all around.
