I mostly can't believe that Tractor Team Six actually does things other than roadblocks. Props to them.

EDIT: I had that disconnect issue too. Restarting it didn't fix it, but spamming login attempts did. Really sucks for anyone who still isn't on after things are over.

There was an eastern agreement to run a castle cartel and 3 of the major guilds involved tried to backstab the others and got hosed.


QC Republic and Infinite lost their packs on the seas to TT6 and Freshly squeezed.

RDD ended up losing their pack on the 5 yard line and LotD took their spot.

Unrelated to the matter being considered.
I honestly kinda feel bad for people that spend weeks getting supplies and going over battle plans and poo poo when in the end it sounds like it was just a lottery of the right people could stay logged in. Like those are the type of people that actually like this game getting shitted on. No one deserves to be shitted on by the ones they love. :(

So how do you disable hackshield anyways? At this point it would just be community service to people who don't want to crash at character select every time or constantly during gameplay.

A bunch of us managed to place plots tonight, so I call it a victory. The 3rd and 4th castles took so drat long to place I was falling asleep in my chair. Also pubbies on the AA forums are screaming bloody murder about pre-patch rollbacks and refunds, its great.

Managed to login after not being able to for about 2 hours. Logged in right before the 3rd castle fell and managed to place two thatched. One of them is going to a goon who asked me to place one for him. I forgot your name, but know that Antfidel did good. Now only if I could login again.

My guild had the same thing happen, but we didn't have the numbers to fight the massive opposition against us at that point so it was moot.

After the first two castles were down on Aranzeb, it was just a lot of waiting with people crashing, lag spikes, and killing lots of furry crows who couldn't stick with their zerg. It dragged on too long, think I used up a good 250g on buffs.

I wasn't really there for the land, but it was a nice bonus. I honestly didn't expect to get any.

The server select screen is evidence enough that thousands of people can't get in at all. It's the foremost event since the server launch, during prime time, and not one of the servers is even on "High" player count, let alone queued.

Maybe for the Anya mining, sure, but during the landgrabbing I was literally standing shoulder to shoulder with greens and reds alike and no one was so much as popping a PBAoE or a fear because we were all too busy furiously clicking to put down our land.

For like five minutes straight.

Ah yeah the land grabbing was when everyone got serious and said gently caress pvp lol. You could just stand there and kill people by chain casting flamebolt.

Before I started getting repeatedly ganked, I used Auroria mineral water on 14 blazing trees and got exactly zero flaming logs, so that's pretty cool. I guess it'll be a month until I get my farm wagon at this rate.
You're doing it wrong. After you put the water on the tree you have to wait about 10 minutes and it turns into a smouldering tree, at which point you loot it for 3 logs.

People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.

Angela Christine posted:

Yeah, no offence to Minti or the guys who have enough land to plant 108 cedars at a time, but escalating taxes obviously aren't enough to keep people from being greedy land hogs. As it is there is no reason not to drop a cottage where ever you see space, and decide later if you want to use it or just sell it off.

There is a cap on how many properties the game actually taxes you for. It's 10 or so, before you stop getting taxed for additional land. So unless that cap changed or was removed over the last month or so, there is basically no reason to not snatch up everything you can, if you can afford the capped taxes.

How does the extra tax on Auroria work?

When there's a tax rate of 50% is that 50% of the base tax only or does that 50% also include tax increase due to owning more than 3 buildings?

50% of the base. so a thatched costs 23 certs/week in a maxed tax zone
