The Ruthern & Rebels vs Courland Warzone is now open andhasbeenforthelasttwodaysidontknowwhyimonlymakingthisnow

 

If you're a rebel fighting alongside the forces of House Ruthern, head over to the human hub and find the warcart there beneath the twinned-grey flag of the Rutherns. Or, if you're a Courlander, you can find your warcart beneath a green and black banner outside the gates of Aleksandria, by the Soulstone pillar. This Warzone will stay open up until Saturday, once the skirmish has been fought. Three capture points are being set up across the Warzone and so on Friday night, a capture the point session will be held, which will grant the winner one FREE trebuchet for the FOLLOWING week's siege. Also, Teegah's done some great work and added a War Chest, which you can read about below.

 

Capture The Points

 

On Friday night, at 6PM EST/11PM GMT, a Capture the Points session will be held in the Warzone. The Ruthen Rebels and Courland must compete to hold three capture points, which are located in the forest, the snowbanks, and near the Tosali manor. Whoever holds a point for the longest will win that point, and whoever wins the points by midnight GMT will be declared the winner, and win a free trebuchet for the following week's siege!

 

 

Also, just take a second to familiarize yourself with the Warzone rules:

 

• Courland must use Status Fighting in the Warzone, and Rebels must use Status Crusading. If you're fighting in the Warzone without a status I'll see to it you get s l a p p e d.
• You can't enter the enemy's camp.
• Grappling hooks are encourage to be used, but should not be used to hide on the trees or gain access to an opposing party's war camp. Please maintain a balance of role-play when using mechanics.
• Horses are strictly prohibited within the Warzone.
• As always, maintain other server rules while in the warzone.
• You may not enter the Warzone naked and without armor in an attempt to snipe loot.

 

 

The War Chest

 

Aaand now, the War Team would like to introduce a new feature of warzones -- the War Chest! yaaaaaay wooo

 

Alright, so basically, this chest can be found at the top floor of the Tosali manor, in the middle of the Warzone. In this chest, you can find some PvP l0000t that will respawn every 30 - 90 minutes, so make sure to stick around the Warzone to try and grab it. Bear in mind though, if you're caught taking from this chest without a status or without having any gear, the loot will be taken off you. Big thanks to @Teegah for getting this cool feature set up.

 

And as usual, thanks to everyone who helped build the Warzone.

 

That's all -- go have fun and kill eachother.

Ya. There'll be another warzone next week and you can win more trebuchets at that. Normally there'd be no benefits to winning a skirmish warzone so really you're getting the chance to win more siege equipment that usual.

I know that you being the war team lead is a new position for you, but since day one, the rewards for war zones have been absolutely ****. Perhaps you'd consider making victory rewards actually worth something, encouraging both sides to fight?

Mk we'll call it two. I don't wanna give anymore, because once again, you can win more next week.

Out of curiosity what defines 'Pvp loot' in the chest?

 

We talking diamond armor or 2 chain boots and an axe?

*sticks next to the warchest during those weird timezones*

I made the hall next to the Tosali manor btw :3

Is it possible to make the chest spawn at a random spot on the warzone, otherwise it's likely people will camp it and farm loot.

[Gizzol 252]

All I got out of this post was "everyone on for an hour" can the siege war zone have different times for caping? Say three times a day? So that way it's not a not a giant mosh pit for only an hour then people go home

[champ 194]

good stuff, but wouldnt one team just camp at the chest and spam-loot gains

[wytch 870]

Nice.
