All I DO know is that whether you call it a tick or a defense bonus, I got 307,000 in one go.

It’s not even midyear, why does the event called midyear mayhem, a fail from the start.
2019 was the year of ENDLESS "SPECIAL" EVENTS for tickets. Which without any explanation from ZO curiously began with "Midyear" Mayhem.

I think they're basically just desperate for players to pvp and also trials. Evident in ZO cramming pvp into the Jester's Festival achievements. And trials into the Witches Festival.JumpmanLane wrote: »That is ABSOLUTELY not true. Once, I was in a huge fight. Lasted WAY longer than I thought it would. All factions were involved.

But I was killing so many people. Kiting around columns, running around towers. 307,000 defense tick when it was all said and done. A few months ago....
Everything I said was ABSO-BLEEPING-LUTELY TRUE!!!!!!
There is no defence "tick".
There is a defence bonus which only applies after you successfully end an attack. A single player only needs to keep an attack going for a short time to make attempting to defend any structure a total waste of AP.
The smartest thing to do is capture and abandon.
Allow other factions to capture and abandon.
Then you can capture and abandon again.
Today a few enemy players managed to stick around in a captured castle. Took quite a lot of players about 5-10 minutes to track them down and kill them.
Defence bonus = less than 1000 AP.
In that same amount of time we could have effortlessly captured at least 2 or 3 resources for 3600 AP each.
A castle at about 16k AP doesn't take much longer to capture, if undefended. Which nearly all are.
This math is not hard.
