This is it..first ever Hotan Fort.

[Doppleganger]

Good luck!!
New fort/New fort system; pretty excited
If you don't win the first Hotan fort you suck forever!

Hope i don't regret that..

[Goseki]

I'm not going. Never have, prob never will. Fck the time. If JM had an ounce of brainpower, they would make the time dynamic so that owners of the fortress will change often, but everyone will have a decent chance at taking fortress.

Seems like JM prefers the let's let one group win it and keep it until the game dies, who cares about the rest. Just wait, I bet in a few months, JM will implement the Fortress Auction game. Whoever pays the highest price will get SOKickAss, it will kill all in 1 hit AND reduce all dmg to 1. It shall be sold to some poor parents whose kids stole their credit card and bought it for over 10 grand.

Yay SRO!

How often do you see the fort changing hands.

[XMoshe]

The jangan fort owner splitted the guild/union what ever cuz they also want the hotan fortress, so my guild is going for jangan, might be less than hotan but it will still bring in some good money. Can't play though, gotta work when it starts :[

[Amro]

im going im going
if i login if i login
it will be hard coz i know nothing about new system xD
gl to all

[mick3201]

in my server (zeus) it actually changes often. However most of the time the fortress is held by the union of BlackCompany. but recently both the bandit fortress and jangan fortress are held by guild I had never heard of before.

@Goseki
it might be like this in ur server, but not in all of them.

I need answers before FW!!!
Is it true that you don't need a hammer to knock down the gates?
And also, what is different with this new system?

Thats true, on MMOSITE it said bowers hit 30% and magical weapons hit 60%. Does that mean physical close range is 100% and best?

[Amro]

yay 1 min till start and im still logining

Yep, we left jangan and went hotan. We won it within 10 mins, but we lost jangan to Varden.

PeRsePoLis aka ChemicalCrew is first owner of Xian Hotan Fortress!

[Amro]

too bad i wasnt there

[salmissra]

in venus...first respect took it..then epic took it back (my union)...then professionals took it...finally reason took it back ;D (my union).

also professionals lost jangan fort to legacy (my union as well)

so all in all...a good fight ;D

but had crazy lag >.<

[Kolossal]

My old Divinity mates on greece diiid iiiiit!!!!

[SNAPPA77]

AlteredState (NightHawk union) kept Bandit
_FeniX_ (_FeniX_ union) took Jangan from Infinity (NightHawk union)
HonorHispano (Hall Of Fame Union) has HOTAN.



FW was fun all around. GZ to HOF union.

My union (NightHawk union) has been in charge of Aege for almost a year. So this is no biggie. We'll take Jang back and take Hotan.


New FW system is kinda dumb. Anyone and EVERYONE can 'hammer'. Repair tool cool down is way too long. I don't like that ppl spawn outside the FW instead of town. But it does make things interesting for the next few FW's. Defending Hotan is gonna be a pain but I don't see problems with Jang.

GG. But we are coming for that ass.

[Karras]

Venus has a blast.
Reason -> Respect -> Epic -> Prof -> Reason

Reason got lucky. Prof got unlucky. Respect didnt help defend fort with Prof saying that Prof didn't help them when they had it.

Prof hold on till server crashed.

[Puma60]

Why did this FW only last 1 hour 30mins? JM reduced the time?

[Amro]

yup, they wrote it on teaser page

One of my chars is in Varden I had to work today or I would've joined, grats on the fortress but you guys forgot to put taxes xD missing out on ALOT of bils lol.

[Skyve]

What,SRO already at Hotan Fort I though iSRO was suppose to get the Donwhang one first?

You guys will probably take both jangan and hotan eventually.
We(HOF Uni) dont have enough people skipping school/work to seriously attack at FW.

Cant wait for the time that Joymax wakes up and changes the FW times to weekends, lol.
All we wanted to show you last FW is that we overrule you when we can actually be there with everyone, since it was vacation last FW

Im pretty sure you are going to make a wise-ass comment on this, but whatever, just thought it'd be fun to share this ^^

In pacific UTD union holds both hotan and jangun forts

[Gimpdog]

DeceptikonZ took hotan in tibet and our union defended it too easily that it wasn't even fun

Have you ever talked to me in game? Ever?

If ya did you would know I make 'wise ass' comments all the time but I do call a spade a spade. I said GZ to HOF for fort. You gotta admit that it was pretty fun. I had a blast. Not a fan of the new system but it was still fun and the back and forth battle was pretty good.

Not smack talking here but I do want to point out that while you say you were "there with everyone" we were there 6/8 guilds in our union. Altered State defended Bandit and INFINITY defended Jangan. Also you had a bunch of other guilds helping you out.

Love the skipping work/school comment. Yes I know FW time screws over alot of ppl in HOF but the only thing NH union is skipping is sleep. So don't blame us for the time. Listen we had Jangan FW for pretty much the entire year. Did you know we average the same amount of ppl showing up even when there is NO ONE attacking? We have been consistent with our FW attendance. Do you really believe that 100+ ppl are calling out sick from work/school every 2 weeks just to walk around an empty FW?

Sigh.


Anyways.....


What do the rest of you think of the new setup?

Hotan FW is gonna be really hard to defend. It really is gonna come down to who can get it within the last half hour. Not sure if anyone can hold that FW for the full 90 mins.
Some of the servers with 1 dominant union can but in AEGE there are 2 strong unions NightHawk and Hall Of Fame going back and forth. We kinda cancel each other out and there is no 3rd strong group. Turks can never get their shit together cuz they squabble too much. (And they constantly hack each other).

They need to fix it so only ppl with positions can 'hammer'. Or just bring back the axes. Some ppl think that everyone being able to attack the gates was just a bug that they will fix. But guys...this is Joymax we are talking about. Don't hold your breath.

They aren't gonna Fix the everybody attacking the gate thing cuz its ment like this.
besides i don't see any problem holding down that fort look at its layout its a deathtrap for any well organized group or union just requires leadership and tactical know-how

and as for Alterdstate defending Bandit den i really thougt i saw every player thats worth something in that guild in NH when me and kush were there at the fort . anyways was a fun FW lots of killing going on kush had fun testing out his new glaive lol. sux honor got it thoug dun like them at all but then again we don't care so much lol and lol at you being at this forum

Sup Dutch man. Yes your right about the deathtrap part. Kinda '300'ish with out the abs and cool movie quotes. Is it really meant to be that way with everyone attacking? If so then what is the point of the military engineer? Think of all those poor guys that just had their jobs made obsolete in this economy.

Honor getting is really funny. I know for a fact it wasn't the ideal scenario for HOF. But it is what it is. Hats of to them cuz they got it TWICE. Shocked us and HOF I bet.


As far as me being on this forum... I am a mod/admin on the SRA forums. Active member of REV6 forums. GM of 1 of the strongest unions in AEGE. And been a isro player for YEARS now.

Don't let my post count fool ya. Been a member of this forum for a long time.


Enuff about Aege.

For those of you who have spawned the FW unique does that dang turtle drop anything good?

[TillTheEnd]

is nearly impossible to defend hotan, any1 can take it/overtake it within 1hr 30 mins,,,if you want to make sure defending union does not keep it again, just atk in the las 20-30min I'm sure defending union will lose it, unless you have a shitty server with only ONE strong union, most server have at least 2 powerful unions.

and Again its EASY to defend the fort just requires Teamplay and Comunication problem is with most unions they are more like a angry mob then trying to be a fighting force i've been to tons and TONS of fortess wars and i've leaded in several of them. it just requires a strong leader and good comunication to hold down a fort

[Aristedis]

If JM had an ounce of brainpower, they would make the time dynamic so that owners of the fortress will change often,

I think they plan to release more and more fortress like donwhang/samarkand/const etc, so it's not like power wont be spread out, but yeah 2 weeks is kind of long.
