Wouldnt it be cool, if like on one day Charr came rushing to Ascalon gates, and everyone had to help defend themselves to kill all this Charr?

I was just thinking that there should be random sieges in towns or outposts like once a day. Because once you finish story the game gets boring some bit, and maybe a lil siege keep people on there toes, and possibly gain fame for successful siege!

I like the sound of that, but logistically I think it would be a little hard to pull off. Any ideas on how they could do it?

One idea I have is that maybe a random faction, like the stone summit, charr, avacara (sp)?, undead, etc... start attacking your guild hall and you have to defend. Maybe if you successfully hold them off all guild members get a small morale boost for a short time.

EDIT:
The Guild Lord could start talking on your guild channel, and say stuff like 'A large army of charr is aproaching' to let guild members know something will happen soon.

Yeah I agree with ya, but how would they attack some guild halls?
My guild hall is Warrior Isle, I could see how they attack my guild, by boat invasion, I can see it now, Undead Horde of Pirates!

DrSLUGFly · Jul 14, 2005, 05:12 PM // 17:12

That would be awesome! totally random, once every 24 hours... suddenly everyone gets weapons and has to defend!

yeah!

They would have to sort out like res shrines and stuff... and there would be issues to settle of course, but it would make for great exitement!

Dyeeo · Jul 14, 2005, 05:13 PM // 17:13

That would make the game fun.

But its not going to happen.

Drago Solaris · Jul 14, 2005, 05:13 PM // 17:13

maybe it could be a new arena, u get a copy of the map and u hav to defend the city from that areas native baddies

It could though, but ya know what I've got a hunch that the next expansion the "creators" are making, are going to come out with a lot of goodies, I hope Defending a city is one of them.
Because if I personally was a creator and I heard my game needs more stuff to do over and over and over again, I'd do something about it but would like lil money.
But defending Ascalon wouldnt be hard, to do just have big words in middle of screen ASCALON NEEDS YOUR HELP, 2000 Charr come rushing through gates, lot of hack n slashing going on, I bet the elementals would love it, because they just sit and nuke and watch 10 die at once.

It would be down right funny at times. There you are dancing or playing the drums while you are AFK...then you come back to notice that you are just about to die. It would be mayhem too. People trying to form groups on the fly. The people that think it is funny to be naked would be hurting in no time.

I for one would relish this idea....

EDIT: Also it would be nice to see the BOTs get creamed....

Well dieing doesnt really do anything agaisnt ya, your in ascalon, justs goto sardelac sanitarium and come back

. Yeah it would be funny, I would like to see these Charr rush threw, and theres people dancing in there undies, and the Charr give them good ol spanking. The bot players sure get mad, because theres too much Charr and there bot be doing overload, and maybe explode lol.

kyeo138 · Jul 14, 2005, 07:19 PM // 19:19

I definitely think this is do-able. Especially at guild halls which are kind of already setup up as fairly large, attack/defend type map. Most guilds already have communication, and can quickly get groups together.

The city thing would be awesome, especially in the huge cities like Ascalon, Lions Arch, Henge, Amnoon, Droknar's. Would be cool to have the mobs break in at certain areas, so you see tons of different groups trying to hold them off.

The more I think about this, the better I like it! Let's hope some people at ANet read this thread

TheIrishman · Jul 14, 2005, 09:03 PM // 21:03

Hey, wish I saw this before I made my post in the "These Three Things" thread (thats a tonguetwister

). Anyway, take a look at my post there and see what you think about it.

Armada Hunter · Jul 14, 2005, 09:06 PM // 21:06

I support this idea 100%.

viet · Jul 14, 2005, 09:18 PM // 21:18

Town Raids
you're in ascalon, dancing, or trading. but once every few days, you hear a siren. the town is being attacked! you're thrown into a group of 8-24 of fellow townsmen. the charr/mursaat/etc seige the town & actually run thru it! Duke Barradin finally uses his hammer to help ward off the atacks. even merchants grab a staff & fight!

the east wall collapses in a huge explosion! the charr hav built seige engines!

Sekkira · Jul 14, 2005, 11:44 PM // 23:44

Ascalon: Invasion of Charr/Charr Raids
Lions Arch: Invasion of Undead/Undead Raids
Denravi: Invasion of White Mantle/White Mantle Raids
Amnoon: Invasion of Forgotton, Enchanteds/Forgotton, Enchanteds Raids
Droknars: Invasion of Stone Summit/Stone Summit Raids

This would be an awesome idea.

The problem would be everyone would be laging like had never been seen before... even those with alinewares and comstum build killer PC's would lag... there would be so much going on the server would give out, although i hav to say it would be awesome

Anarchist_Monk · Jul 15, 2005, 03:48 AM // 03:48

Well then how do the other games do it? They have big open places where there could be aroud 50 people in the same place, and I'm sure there are places where there are lots of badies. Other games meaning like wow, everquest, and other games like that sort.

elthrain · Jul 15, 2005, 03:53 AM // 03:53

Humm... u do hav a point... well mabye it could be done

You've never played Star Wars Galaxies

Stuff like this happened in the most populated cities

EverBlue · Jul 15, 2005, 04:01 AM // 04:01

Of course it could be done. It would be sort of interesting seeing all these new players fresh out of pre-searing, scrambling for cover as hordes of Charr attack the city.

"Talk to Tydus about the White Mantle Diplomat? Can do! Okay, now, whi-- WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"

But I think it would be an awesome idea. I like the idea of defending the guild hall from random attacks.

Guild Message - "Your Guild Hall is under attack! Defend it!"
You - "But I'm the only one online.. Oh God.."
Monsters - "RAAAAHHH!"

EDIT: It would make use of the respawn area in the Hall. I've yet to find a use for that.

Crom the Conqueror · Jul 15, 2005, 04:32 AM // 04:32

I think it may just work. Randomly one district in a town will be invaded. Before it starts, everyone in it will get a warning, so if you dont want to get involved you can leave. When the battles starts, the area around the city and the city will become a battlefield, waves of monsters will attack the city. the first wave will the easiest, than it gets harder and harder, until the last wave. If you die in the battle you will not gat the chance to comeback, instead you r transfered to another district. Those who survived will get a reward.
