They have built a decent amount of earthwerks at darknessmagic to disrupt our lancing. So sometimes I swim up navy seal style, pop one in the back of the head with my waterproof arbalest, then slip back to sea.

We unbuilt a lot of those on saturday :haw:

It was bloody. The chinese are starting to use actual formations and tactics, so our usual strategy of "run at them in a big mob and slaughter them" isn't so effective anymore.

Yeah, I saw the vids. Looks like we also had a good amount of pikes but we were still too spread out to use them effectively. I'm dubious if no-poo poo total-war style unit blocks are the answer but it may be viable?

Oh yeah I forgot, outer castle walls are completely doneso and have been for a few days but nobody has bothered to actually take pictures.


Also: I was looking for animals and was close to the new bad guy chinese claim on the server to our west so I had a peek and saw a guy or two. I waited for delamore to show up and he's like "no no, its 4 no 5 guys" and as we're wondering how to get into their walls we notice they left their loving gate open. So we stroll in and casually murder the 3 active and 2 afk guys as they try to chase me around as delamore is shooting them with a crossbow but they shut the gate behind us locking us in right, so as we're loving about a guy logs in and we gib him, then another guy logs in and he notices us and runs around before eventually being brutally murdered as well. We tried to shepherd him to the gate so he would open it and we could steal their horsecart but alas he just ran around in circles and we had to murder the horse. Then we casually jump up the logs and peace out with a couple hundred stone of loot from them. One dude had 3 blacksmith hammers of 40q, 57q? and 67q as well as 1k absolute poo poo iron so it felt really good to just take their poo poo.

This looks kind of tempting, but are there enough euro goons to play with? Also it seems like as a euro TZ player I would never be online for the justice hour thing?

Wouldn't recommend playing with goondor on NA as a euro. I tried. You miss all the action, don't get to see a single battle unless you stay up until 5am. And when you are playing there's barely anything going on.

Not necessaaaaaaaarily true anymore now that the Chinese have descended on our humble server from the north, but there are certainly way less people on during those hours and you do miss all the organized stuff.

We have a fair number of euros who play, but its definitely the quiet time when people mostly do crafting and such.

The big organised PVP does happen at 4-6AM CET so that isn't great, but people are on all hours of the day and its not like you can't go out and find people to murder any time of the day.

You'd have to stay up late/get up early for the big PVP events but usually there are lots of Chinese to kill after NA prime time.

As someone who was on for like 30 hours straight one weekday while home with the flu, I can tell you there are PVP opportunities p much at any hour. The thing is, they are fleeting events where you're either there when it happens or it's too late, with the exception of judgment hour. As an example, the other day I noticed a message that was 5 minutes old when I saw it and by time I logged in and rode out on the fastest horse possible, it was already over. While riding home and cursing my lateness, I tripped over another bad guy who'd not been reported, like half a server square away and after picking myself up (I'd literally rammed into the guy while AFK riding and fallen off my horse), we had a short scuffle and I stole his lovely low quality tools and put it in our recycle bin. Another time, I was just minding my own business planting flax at one of our secondary bases and some naked dude with no guild decided to run up to me and start punching me — didn't even bother reporting that, it was over before anyone could have possibly responded (unarmored heads fare poorly against point-blank heavy crossbow bolts). And I am a really PVP-averse person. I don't go out looking for it. I respond to it when there's a call for help and I happen to be looking at chat and I feel like it and it's a Tuesday while Saturn is retrograde. Other dudes, like Delamore, go out and actively patrol enemy bases and are basically fighting every hour of the day.

Point here being if you are a lazy oval office who will only participate when organized PVP is spoonfed to you then it sucks to be a euro and you might want some other game, because for me it's like weeks between when I swing a weapon and I'm actually on during prime PVP hours; however, if you're willing to go some Black Ops-style or solo PVP stuff then you will soon become like Delamore, hiding in the bushes with a crossbow and complaining when 15 minutes goes by between killing randos.

From the news article: https://lifeisfeudal.com/News/?n=mmo&art=553

We’re implementing a long-awaited Influence Zone system!
In short, this means that Tier 3 and Tier 4 Guild Monuments will have an increased zone of influence around monuments. All Private claims, and even Tier 1 monuments, can be destroyed during JH if they are within an Influence Zone. This mechanic was designed primarily to combat troll Tier 1 claims and Private claims.

Getting real tired of the Chinese guilds constantly and instantly crashing every battle we drop on them. At least we all managed to keep our horses since it crashed immediately on start :v:

Not surprised, the kingdom come guy ended up being a huge gamergater too. It makes sense that being obsessed with and romanticizing the Middle Ages correlates with people who have medieval values but you'd think for how much they are interested in history they'd appreciate the fact that pretty much all fascists were huge nerds for their own country's respective mythology too.

Being a leftist interested in historical games is a trip, man

Until they get real sieges in, yeah. The grind is over, things are pretty much post-scarcity, and only being able to do any real PVP in three 1-hour windows per week sucks. Instance battles all happen at alike 11 PM on weeknights which is too late for me.

Basically a fallen empire being maintained by a handful of wards :v I have been recently riding around participating in other peoples' JH battles for funsies though, and there are plenty of IBs going on. Our blacksmithing facilities are top notch, we got a 100ql blacksmith shop and all the metal in the world but nothing to do except make weapons and armor to replace what we lose even though we have an army's worth of kit and noone to equip.
