Bring back KOTH - 7

Pazx · 02-24-2012

I'd love if some new guilds started springing up, and there was more competition outside the top few spots. KotH has nothing to do with that.

KOTH had a good concept but it was just implemented horribly in Graal Classic. again, it was focused more on quantity over quality to give new guild members a chance..

KOTH was giving players an easy pass without any skill required instead of introducing players to tower taking and keeping it on the same core. again, not trying to be a showoff but if the admins are ever to consider putting KOTH back in, i hope they can use this as some sort of guide

For KOTH, heres what i think it should have been:
-Remove the time increase/decrease thing
-Have players who afk a long time in the tower put outside of the castle (For KOTH towers only. Helps demote noob recruiting).
-only attackers will still spawn outside of tower

How it should have worked:
-if there are more attackers slashing the flag than defenders, the flag will lose health usually like tower flags
-if there are more defenders slashing the flag than attackers, the flag will gain health usually like tower flags
-attackers cannot drop flag health if theres more defenders slashing the flag
-defenders cannot gain flag health if theres more attackers slashing the flag

First off, it destroys noob recruiting. Noobs instead of running around has to fight or the flag will stay up to its health as is. Defenders can slash opponents away Second, Its king of the hill as how it should have been! The guild with the most members on their team will have an advantage. Defenders will still respawn like in old towers so noob recruiting doesn't really have an advantage here

I know it can be tweaked but thats my version of KOTH. What do you think?

as for now, leave the towers as they are

Okay so other nooby guilds don't like it? If your a good player you'll be good at KOTH. Yeah attackings easier than in other towers but that's not a terribly bad thing. Do any new guilds really stand a chance against a bunch of noobs sitting in a doorway completely blocking you and being able to run back into that position in 2-4 seconds? This way a up and coming guild can actually get a tower as begin their journey.

Theres no door at snow and castle guilds can't get back to in 2-4 seconds there, these forts are easy enough to get they dont need koth.

And god forbid we actually get some competition here. Oh boo hoo 7 guilds have to fight over 4 towers. Anyone remember the days when we had like 40 tower guilds competing over 4 towers? Now this guys bitching about 7 guilds competing over 4. LOL!

Back then guilds didnt know about the 1k hat they didnt need to hold the tower as long as people need to now days.

In case you don't know it's pretty hard to start a guild. These days most people have a loyal guild which you basically have to steal them from in order to get your members. So for the people who are trying to start up, you think it's fair that they have no chance in getting a tower? I feel like you guys are afraid of competition. You don't want new guilds coming up, and you don't want to compete against other big tower guilds. Btw if you can't defend any tower including a KOTH tower against a bunch of noobs who barely have themselves established that really says something about you doesn't it?

No its not hard to start a guild at all, saying its hard to start a guild shows how many friends you have that are willing to help you out a bit till your guild gets going.

So many guilds are successful without the need of koth, If they can do it why cant anyone else?

KOTH works well at these towers. I guess I like it since I'm an "oldbie" in iclassic terms, and I loved the old pk wars. People would pk each other over a base. These are kinda like that, except you can declare a winner unlike the old ones where people just kept going and going.

And 1k hats are supposed to be a challenge. They aren't supposed to be as easy as they are now. There really should be more back and forth on towers. Not guilds holding a tower for 20 hours straight.

Seeing as almost everyone has a guild already, and how little value of loyalty people have these days it's pretty hard.
