[POLL] Castle Siege Sealing Time

Hello everyone,

As we always take our players opinion into consideration, the upcoming Castle Siege event settings is waiting for your vote. I know for a fact that there are still many players out there that were considering the original CS settings a bug when they actually were not aware how the event works and I am reffering to the accumulated sealing time when the attackers were registering the seal in a few seconds by taking the castle while the defenders were calling it cheating which is totally false.

There are two main settings when it comes to Castle Siege sealing time:
1. Accumulated 60 seconds Sealing Time which is the default castle siege setting and the way on how the event originally works ; those who played the official server should be ware of it
2. No Accumulation 60 seconds Sealing Time which is a setting we have it available for our server and it may be turned ON or OFF

I guess it's pretty clear that 1) accumulates the sealing time, meaning each time you try to register the seal and move away from the crown the 60 seconds value will decrease and it will take less the next time when you'll attempt another sealing registration while 2) will require you to register seal for 60 seconds on every attempt in order to become the lord of the castle so in case you're moved away from the crown you will require 60 full seconds to register the seal on every attempt.

Two other important notes that you must be aware of:
- damage is reduced by 40% during Castle Siege and in Duels , this is the original setting and we will keep it that way as it makes the pvp a lot more interesting.
- you deal 20% damage to alliance members which again is the original setting and keeping it would make the Castle Siege event more real and the same as in the original server (we can disable the alliance damage attack and set the pvp damage to normal but both settings are intended to work as the original event and as I mentioned, it will make everything a lot more real and fun for everyone).

Now, about the sealing time we would like to hear some opinions so cast your vote and reply why you decided for that.

 

Vote and give arguments of your choice.

 

I can't understand what you're trying to say and what last time? This is the first castle siege.

 

Those who take the castle on the official server or other servers using default settings do it by accident? Here is how I see it: if the timer resets to 0 everytime you are pushed away from the crown the defenders won't care as much when the attacking guild is trying to register the seal because they know they can interrupt the process anywhere between 0-59 seconds while an accumulated time will make the defenders to be more careful during the sealing process and overall during the castle siege battle time as the opponent will require less time after several successful attempts.

 

While @Ezekiel has a point my personal vote goes for the No Accumulation as sooner or later people will go for the dirty short ways sealing at the begining and then waiting for the end, not that they couldn't do the same without accumulation but it will a hell of a lot harder.

 

Agreed, we can always change it and make it fit for the future coming sieges.

 

It's been decided: No accumulation

If needed we can make adjustments for the future coming sieges.
