The "Free class changes" I am assuming this means that "everything that happens in this map stays in this map" Correct? No transfering items?

My overall thoughts so far on the new siege map;

Amazing. Simply amazing so far. Within the first 10 minutes of it going live, I managed to get in a party as well as a town (I haven't managed to do this in PVE & PVP thoughtout playing on HC) as well as genrally having a lot more fun. The exp gains and leveling so far hasn't felt dull or 'gridey' (yes I am aware that the exp gain has been increased by 1000%) and I've been involved in a lot more PVP than before.

Personally I do hope tsiege replaces the current PVP server with a border expansion and maybe reduce the amount of exp gained by half?

My only criticism so far would be the strength of the mobs. I am aware that the mobs scale with distance but maybe the scale should be changed to double what it is now? (Make it so mobs are harder, not easier) It's still fine as it as it though as it encourages a lot more PVP action and a lot less griding.

The future of siege?

Yes I know it's only been a few hours since it's went live but this is still a valid time to reflect on it as well as look into it's future. The following will be a list of what I personally would like to see be added (now would be the perfect time to test a few things you were unsure of before as well as possible class changes, new skills bla bla bla you get the point );

+ protected dungeons dotted around the map (with loot possibly?)
+ capture points again, dotted around the map
+ player shops (if this server is staying as a temp server, this point doesn't matter)
+ have it so all classes can place/ use TNT (I only think miner and engineer has the ability at the moment)

I wish I was home to play this

The fast leveling and town creation is due to it being tested out. If implemented it will most likely integrate with with the worlds, not replace it. Leveling will get back to normal.

I seriously hope you guys aren't planning on making TNT destroy residence blocks >.<

If it is able to destroy town blocks, it should do the same wth residences.

 

[Avoir]

If kainzo actually decides to implement this into the main sever it's going to be fun.

 

[Clawscript]

So nothing particular was planned in that case, or do you think they'll make a fix? Because if it does destroy residence blocks (as well as having permission to steal items), then residences would lose any asset they may have had in the past.

I believe the reason behind it was to be able to raid towns. With residence I believe being able to destroy those is also a good idea. Kainzo been saying dirted chest is not protection of you chest. People have been using residences as a inexpensive way to to keep their chests exclusive. This will cause more use of the LWC. (Yes I know LWCs are expensive and that it gives a huge advantage to people who donate, but that is a different topic)

Edit: It will also support people joining townships and spawn plots.

Oh, indeed. So overall it's a good addition to raids, when you look at it this way. Well then it's all fine

 

[Xhazed]

If personal regions are explodable then reduce the price to lwc and increase the amount of lwc a non donator can have cause with 3 lwc for 500 each u cant protect your an stuff
