make it so that every 3 months (or whatever other period of time), the guild that has achieved the most hours in that period of time gets the hat

Stupid idea. Thallen stick to sparring.

Spar > PK > Guild Spar > Towering > Role Playing

Ill leave that one there (but notice how towering is only above RP)

Towering is already so much easier than two years ago. And youre saying youre so lazy you want as few people in your tower as possible so you dont have to do sh*t.

Agree here but to me pking and spar aren't 100% legit. when you have laggers delay and more but pking is same way just who can to pk with some skill and can stay on the most to pk and pk, and right timing plus kill stealing.

Towers is so simple now that even someone with 5 members can hold the tower even before it was easy to take and hold. Simple was pking non stop they give up and leave.

Idea of most players on at the i see that has king of the hill thing they had last year it was stupid.

Allow me to give you a visual break-down of activities on Graal based on skill, importance, and popular likability:

Spar > PK > Guild Spar > Towering > Role Playing

I have to disagree. I think if you polled graal more people would vote for liking towering over sparring. depends on who you ask.

And yes I do admit there are a few times when I would rather see a pker take or steal a tower. Lets say for example Micheal from guild B who mostly pks at mod runs in and steals the tower at the last second from a guild like SON or COM that all ready have elevendy billion hours of tower time and are continuing to hog towers. Or from a crap hat chasing recycle guild like Half heart (formally TheAbb).

I guess you didnt notice that popularity was the bottom criteria of that rating.

I was thinking something more along the lines of stealing from BuyMyTowers (a recycled guild of UFO)

Only half of us are from ufo. But it shouldnt be hard to steal a tower from BMT we afk alot

I think its your own opinion on the popularity of activities, not really about everyones.

no no no no and no

another towering Idea: I'm just wondering if they could make it so players that idle at respawn points can have the paused/saint effect? Basically you would be able to walk through them as apposed to getting stuck and being unable to move unless they move or you pk them.

I just think its annoying at swamp,mod,and sometimes DW when you get stuck behind guild mates at respawn point and are not able to navigate around them to go defend the flag. Then end up losing the flag half the time because you cant get through to defend it with all the afkers in the way. I just see this as a minor thing they could do to help defenders a little bit.

Came up with this idea randomly yesterday:
I think it would be pretty fair to have a flag HP schedule dependent upon the number of members currently online the defending guild tag.
1-5 members = 100% normal HP
6-10 members = 75% normal HP
11-15 members = 50% normal HP
15-25 members = 25% normal HP

I would like to see this in action for a few days. I can all ready hear people complaining that there's 20 members on so the flags hp is super low and 17 out of 20 online members are afk. Maybe they could fix it so the formula only counts members currently online inside the tower. The other thing is you will see 20 ppl on but like 4 will be on main tag while 16 will be on subs defending to keep the hp amount up. Maybe the formula could be all members currently online + all members on allied tags.

thallens idea is perfect, but people want free stuff not something that requires effort.

Fire Surge · 11-19-2013

I like Michael's idea. It would get rid of AFKing as every member would be considered valuable. I also like Thallen's idea that members must have a tag for 24 hours before taking a tower with said tag. I would like to see both implemented.

No idea why the OP is bent on destroying PKing? Not even going to comment on these ideas as I feel like I'd be talking to a wall.

Both ideas are good. I do think 24 hours is to long to wait. If it was made that once a player leaves freely or is kicked then the roster spot is locked for 24 hours. so you would only have 24 spots available instead of 25 for the 24 hours.

Btw I'm not bent on destroying pking just not found of fighting off or fighting through pkers to take a tower when they are there for the sole purpose of racking up kills and have no intention of taking the tower at all unless an oppertunity presented itself

how about... get this... just a couple more towers added to the game?

I Have Been Asking For That For Months Now. I'm hopeful that when the new town gets released there will be at least 1 more tower added. In the mean time I really don't get why SON and COM continue to stay around and hold towers 24/7 when they stand to gain nothing. Does anybody know if they are able to get rewards for gaining hours? I'm not trying to bash either guild. I just don't understand why they cant retire and step aside and free up the towers for other guilds.

I am a CoM member and we are just trying to get to 20k...
When we reach 20k we just continue towering too.
And you still get rewards if you have that many hours lol 1k-5k-10k-20k.
But what the 20k reward would be is a mystery to me xD
