Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) So... me and a few friends have been testing Siege Shields and there are some pretty huge concerns... "Feature" No.1: When taking 1 siege shield after dropping two siege shields facing into each other on the tile boarder will disable the siege shield remaining there allowing you to walk through. So an example of this being bad is where an enemy blocks you in, you simply just drop a siege shield, take it and you are a free man to walk out. "Feature" No.2: You can drop Siege shields onto house plans. This can be a quick fix to building house walls, and can be easily abused (I,e you you see catapult ammo coming in, you take the shield just before it lands and drop it just after it lands so it takes no damage). "Feature" No.3: You can drop these in front of a boat whilst in water and it will float on the waters surface. This will instantly disembark all its passengers. "Feature" No.4: Siege shields can be used to stop tower capping guards (Simply build walls around a tower and drop the shield in the gap after the tower cap has begun) from attacking the cappers. "Feature" No.5: You can drop a siege shield on someone on a tile boarder forcing them to teleport and bug them out completely. They cannot get themselves out of it unless someone takes the shield for them. Please remove these immediately from all PvP servers to under go more testing.

Posted May 25, 2015 +1 - There's no reason to leave an item in-game that can be so easily used to cheat. There are more useful exploits with siege walls than actual intended features at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2015 Good arguments. +1 until fixed (if even possible.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2015 +1, just remove it till it's fixed. can walk through them when enemies places and can glitch out so much stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2015 Too many reasons and too much logic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2015 +1 I think my client crash from this amount of logic.. damn those are some really pvp breaking bugs :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2015 maybe make them have to be planted or something the likes add a timer to placement and picking up would fix a lot of this but yes needs fixing so +1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2015 +1 They were meant for sieging, but do the exact opposite! :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2015 They had some of these problems on challenge server when I tested/used them there. I see in your added testing, you've found a few new ones unknown. I agree the problems with them should be addressed before having back in game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2015 remove them from the game until they are fixed 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2015 Should be removed from game ASAP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2015 Yeah, give a ban out to anyone that uses them in PvP until there is a fix. Obviously these things are broken to the point of ruining any PvP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 26, 2015 +1 can be abused to a horrible level, seeing what they can be used for really disturbed me on chaos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) making them so you have to load them to move them around might fix a lot of the problems +1 Edited May 26, 2015 by Propheteer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 26, 2015 making them so you have to load them to move them around might fix a lot of the problems +1 I don't really think so, just carry unfinished ones missing 1 item, and boom you can make them on the spot where you want They're an interesting idea, but they need a major overhaul to work properly in actual use 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 26, 2015 It's a miracle. Everyone agrees? It's too bad if they're bugged like this, I thought of them as a very nice feature. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 26, 2015 REASONS what you do now!Seriously though much of the siege equipment has issues but these are the worst. Remove plox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 26, 2015 It's a miracle. Everyone agrees? It's too bad if they're bugged like this, I thought of them as a very nice feature. means it won't get put forward just like the ability to wear chief like a champ title Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 26, 2015 -1 seems to me you complain cause it affected you in a bad way. Siege Shields are fine as they are, no need to tweak them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
