Towering Competition at its Peak?
 

has towering reached a critical point where taking or holding towers is difficult?
these guilds've had to switch 'homes' a couple times this week, and when they didn't have enough members they were immediately punished by unsuspected guilds (top 5 guilds that is):

as you can see, the total number of hours this week does not a huge variation

what do you think of the towering community's current state? discuss!

Closer to how it should be imo

Should've never been at the point where towering was easy enough to just sit in the same tower for 1000 hours straight

You'll see in a few days that this is not the case.

Goodbye swamp

*starts packing*

Nooo

rofos iz gittin hungri agin

Chill.. not swampppp

Guaranteed, if a tower is to be removed again, next on the list should be Swamp, as it wasn't on the original map of the Classic world, unless Rufus can't contain his hatred of noob guilds holding the Castle.

Replace castle with guild activities or reward hats shop.

O no

Time to go make memories in swamp.

I think somewhere Rufus said that he wouldn't be removing Castle for some reason (was it on the original map? I think it was). If he's to remove any more towers, Swamp and Deadwood will probably be the ones to go, leaving Destiny, Sards, Castle, and MoD.

100% sure Destiny won't get deleted because it was released only this year and is a fairly balanced tower, Sards is for more experienced towering guilds as its difficult to take and easy to keep (and it's a fairly active tower), Castle because (I think) it was part of the original map and is balanced too, and MoD because it has lots of activity and is "unique" compared to other towers as it is very difficult to "home", making it easier for smaller guilds to get started up.

deadwood tower is so ugly :<

What I posted has nothing to do with anything that was posted after it, I am referring to this.

Rufus you should make the PK system :/. Finally bring it out, get more competition in PKing, remove pk zones/riots and let the fest begin.

What PK system are you referring to?

Oh. I assumed it had something to do with towering (it might, might not) since your post was directed to (I think) the competitiveness of towering.

-_- very confused. i thought that was a spar related thing.

They could remove Swamptown Tower as a structure altogether, I didn't make it clear that Castle will remain as a structure, but not as a tower

cant wait :p

I love how there's only two people that really discussed the topic

yes kosori towrn is hard bc mny gild want 1k

Hey funny thing I'm in one oh the guild's listed

I don't get the joke :/

Rest in antlantis york tower.

"Is towering at its peak?"
"You will see in a few days that this is not the case."
"Holy ****, I bet they are going to delete Swamptown and Castle, release a revamped guild system, and update the server!"

The hell are you guys talking about?

a woman can dream, harold

ikr! Who started that rumor!?

I think there should only be 1 tower filled with traps located in Graal City with 4 levels, each with a flag that different guilds can hold. At the end of every 24 hour cycle the building resets somehow and guilds have to re-fight for their flags. Sorta like the tower Rayquaza rests on in Emerald with loads of holes n such ... ... ... ... ... :P


(Totally joking)


I do think competition has arisen although I still see guilds make truces which kinda defeats the purpose imo.

Rufus said he wanted to move swamp tower to its original home witch is Babord (90% the next town if not 100%)

Towering Competition at its Peak?
 

How about bring back swamp arena and combine it with swamp tower to create more of a use for the tower and draw in more people.

Then get rid of it 5 minutes later.

geo-synchronized destruction of swamp town and castle hype!

I swear, fp4 scares me sometimes.....Is he a patient at the Insane Asylum in Babord??!

Wait... could towers based on location be a thing?

I say we get rid of swamp and destiny and bring back snow and york!!!1!!!1!!!

are you adding more hearts or wat

If you're wondering about the weird visual bug that made it look like you had twice as many hearts, it was discussed here and should be fixed.

nah I know about that. Was just asking. Wasn't a bug either I thought it was just redone to make it look like that? Edit: Nevermind I re read. Was a glitch.

Swamp Town's Tower was appropriated from Babord's content, so I imagine if Babord's coming out, they're going to remove or replace Swamp Town's tower and move it back to Babord.

forced guild loyalty incoming?

I might actually tower more and stuff if that was the case.

Ironic that 1k hat guilds who destroyed towering are now responsible for reaching unmatched levels of tower competition.

Things always have a funny way of working out.

welp, you were right :'(
should've always been that way

Towering hasn't been competitive in years

The only competitive aspect is hacking on a noob acc to get guild reset to knock em off the board.

It's just winter break. There's actually enough people on to fill towers for once.

"ugh towering was so much more competitive in my days" when amazing guilds like Soul of Ninjas and CoM were at the top
GST was more competitive in 2012 too UGH sigh

I don't know man, it will be hard for classic to surpass this level of tower competition.


2009 was the most competitive time for towering. 2009 masterrace

you're all noobs 2005 was the year for towering :sarcasm:

You mean the year towers were ignored unless guilds prearranged battles?
