We were pushing the enemy back into their own base..., killed the archer nearest to us. A guildie fired the catapult and somehow I manage to die whilst outside the base?
Sorry if this has been posted before, but I didnt know it was possible.
Something similar happened to our entire team before, we crossed the courtyard as they fired, and thinking we were safe at the entrance gates, we were planning our push back, when we all died from siege. We were all going like, wtf?! cat can hit there? and then we just resigned...
a lot of people do not know that, but the catapult is indeed a random drop, and it can hit just inside the gate, which basically means the AoE blast will reach outside the base.
If your strategy involves you being close to the gate during a siege, just ask your monk to put protective spirit on you. Otherwise just stay the hell away from the gate.
