    If the flag was inside the tower people heads would explode ...
    How so? A nice bit of (v. quick) PvDoor to get in ( :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: ), massacre all the defenders inside, and then nobody can get stuck inside when the resource flips.

    Well for one the NPCs would be in the tower with the flag . Along with the clown brigade spamming impulse . With the AOE cap still in place you'd have the same problem we've had inside keeps . Incredible lag zone .

    Putting the lag aside, it was my intention to suggest a similar system to how keeps are captured. It also means that a bit more effort has to go into capturing/defending resources, as they can mostly be flipped in 30 seconds right now without any time for defenders to get there.

    If they can overcome the lag issue, I'd like to see a third flag in keeps as well, in the outer courtyard somewhere (per the original PvP demo video, 8:31).

    Hi,

    I am the GM of the french Guild "Les Fils de Yaztromo" and I would like to thank you because we are now famous thanks to our strategy called "Power Tower".

    I read so funny things on our strategy because people are complaining about that.

    I would like just ask you something: is it better to make a power tower than a woodcap during the night?

    Waiting for your answer, those who are crying about "farming AP simulation".

    Yours sincelery,

    I like when people come in here thinking they've come up with some new strategy that we didn't use in beta (and past games 8 years ago) ;D

    1. It ain't yours. Some of us came up with it too. What else you're going to do when you're outnumbered, stuck in a keep, suddenly finding out that people keep dying at your feet? You enjoy it, that's what.
    2. What's a "woodcap" during the night?
    3. Yes, I prefer power tower than "nightcap" or PvDoor as some call it (i still have no idea why). At least there's something you CAN do with power tower...

    woodcap is taking all the control of the map when there is no opponents (reds are specialized on Asura).

    Agree and agree!! But so many people in this game just want to farm AP and think that is a measurement of their skill.

    Why do people still walk into towers after taking them over anyhow.

    I will repeat, how is towerfarming still a issue? It was easy to deal with during beta, it was easy to deal with while you could oil on the ground, its easy to deal with now too.

    Pretty easy to break up a tower farm... I won't tell you how, but it's pretty easy with a coordinated group.

    People arguing over who came up with tower farming is like grumbling over who made the first turd sandwich .
