View Full Version : Territory War - Lets keep it fun...ky

Ok so first territory war this weekend.
From what I gather its all about castles trying to get or keep the wards (things that give the stat bonuses), and to earn territory badges. Especially as its new I'm sure we'd all like as much action as possible - this will also help people be able to get the kills they need for missions and such.
So to the castle owning clans, my suggestion is lets not get all political about it or ****** if someone takes your ward. Sure the bonus is nice but we never used to have it and its not the biggest deal ever.
Lets just have a blast and competitively try for getting or protecting wards, but without any drama or political shenanigans. Lets keep it pure funs :p
Also if a proper castle owning clan (non alt clan) loses its ward (you need your own bard to get any bonuses at all) you can bank on that clan solely trying to get their bard back the next territory war - I mean, what else are they gunna do..?
So it should be interesting from one war to the next :)

ya yeah its gona be fun , al people gona be confused and its gona take a couple weeks to figure stuff out .
like my question would be

LOL no idea why I typed bards, I know I know, its wards :p
Ya RR might try get as many wards as possible, but thats cool. This is where it gets interesting because if one clan takes lots of the others, those clans who lost theirs will all be going to that clans castle next territory war to try and get their ward back, as there is nothing else than can do during the territory war :)
Of course there might be something else to the territory wars I dont know about... but ya if a castle doesnt have a ward no point in defending it right..?
About signing to attack, simple answer is I believe you cant. Castle owning clans are basically signed to all other castles. Other clans and individuals can choose a castle to help defend and do those missions for badges.
For sure its a new thing and the first few of these wars will be learning experiences..!

as i understand it, the way to 'attack' a territory is by signing to defend one and then taking quests that involve attacking a different territory to improve your territory's 'reputation' ?? I know, my explanation is getting confusing too XD
example.. say you want to attack aden.. then, you can sign to defend dion and, as part of a quest, attack aden in order to capture their ward for dion's lord..
you can sign as a clan or as an individual using the mercenary captains in every town... and you can 'disguise' yourself using a mercenary scroll so that would be a good way to keep yoursel/your clan secret militance and avoid the 'wars politics' some ppl use
the only bad thing for me its the time.. saturday nights i'm usually out so dont see myself taking part too much XD... in any case, I will probly have a look at the list of clans owning castles and pick one to defend, even if it only means farming fame and such things...
t
+1 for mr. puddingpants (lol) yes lets keep it all fun ppl :)
btw rich, maybe too much coke? :D

so lets say i sign for , umm what castle should i help . all the clans are in war with me :o, well for example i pick inadriel , so i can for Innersphere try by myself to take down catapult and flag down/over from another castle ?
that sucks for the mercs. what is there for us , i want some +1 str +1 con too :D
I agree with all of you ... let's keep the politics out of the territory wars and for once make something in the game just a fun experience to be had by all.
I think topeins is right though. You sign to "defend" a territory and that makes you an attacker on all other territories. This should be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Hopefully I can stay up for this, whats the exp loss like? Any?
I doubt it when signed up (i.e. participating as clan or merc)
sorry, I want my +3 wit from all your territories, and I will have it.
you always want everything your way.
always possible? no :D
Maybe you'll have it one day, but then you'll need to defend against a whole lot of attackers to be able to keep it ;)

you collect some sort of item from acting as a mercenary and can then buy special weapons/accesories through the mercenary npc... but you cant enjoy the ward effect unless you're part of the castle's owning clan
you can also get noblesse status by doing territory related stuff instead of leving a sub up to 75 and doing all the noblesse quests
wait a tick...
i thought 1 territory had 1 ward and was different from all the other wards...
or am i thinking of something else?
all territories have 1 ward each, and each has a different effect, so these can stack if you possess more than 1
Gludio Territory Benefaction STR +1 / INT +1
Dion Territory Benefaction DEX +1 / WIT +1
Giran Territory Benefaction STR +1 / MEN +1
Oren Territory Benefaction CON +1 / MEN +1
Aden Territory Benefaction DEX +1 / MEN +1
Innadril Territory Benefaction CON +1 / INT +1
Goddard Territory Benefaction DEX +1 / INT +1
Rune Territory Benefaction STR +1 / WIT +1
Schuttgart Territory Benefaction CON +1 / WIT +1
Hopefully I can stay up for this, whats the exp loss like? Any?
there is no exp/item loss from dying as part of the territory battles
Battle rules
"11. When a registered player dies on the battlefield during a territory war, they will not incur a loss of experience points or item drops."

The ward caryer can only travel on foot. So maybe the distance will make it impossible for lets say Giran owners to get Stugard ward? Dunno
And also because of this run thing a strong ally who wish to take more then one ward will have to dived forces? So a weaker clan who owns a territory might be able to "zerk" defence ;)
Any way pls post feed back with pics on your territory war:D Is to late for me to come and look plus i am on Teon :o
Wish you all lots of fun at it:)

Is it true that you must possess your own castle's ward in order to use any other castles' wards?
If so, my siege saturdays just got completely freed up for real life.
Cool.

Was kinda crazy and messy figuring stuff out, but was good and I'm really looking forward to doing some awesome stuff in future ones - will be more fun and less of the mess lol
Also as per first post: Lets just have a blast and competitively try for getting or protecting wards, but without any drama or political shenanigans :p I'm not too fussed about who has what wards, we should all be fighting each other makes for more action/fun (as these things should be). And **** 100 badges for noble seems easy... I got a B grade belt for 7 badges too lol, after self buff extra 35 pdef for my tank ***. Now just need an S one and a Pin...
Its good everyone can get into these, even people not in a clan or clans that dont usually siege.

Well there was a reason for it.. and the reaction what we wanted to see, happened and that was worth it... IS ( GunGrave and few) hates DivineTrinity so with out knowing what or how these territory wars work, we thought it be good to make sure that IS could not attack us :) and by george it worked. But dont expect it next time... we can be unpredictable :)
As for Oren well get the tags that do not have the same one as us, not all know who you are MyFists ;) sorry for the hits but I am sure we were not the only friends of yours hitting ;) , but we kinda figured out how this territory wars work now...
Trust me we are not here to help out our enemies that is for sure....
