Destruction managed to capture the Dwarven and Empire T4 in a few hours if not minutes tonight and now they are attacking Altdorf.

I can clearly recall Mythic stating that for this to happen it will take weeks and this is not something that can be done in a night.

So this must be a bug, I cant think anything else. It should be a bug.

Woot? hmm i must of missed this whilst watching my Anime DAMNIT!

Im not sure how it works though, i remember Praag being under total Destruction control but it remained Contested :S

That said i wonder if anyone picked up that quest in Reikland destruction warcamp.

Capture Altdorf

XP: ~3k
Gold: ~30 Silver

ok wth..

I'm telling you that Praag and Reikland were both captured in 20 minutes or so and 5 more minutes to get the Fortress. I hope it doesn't work as intended.

I was at the last keep and Reikland Fortress before Altdorf became attackable.

The keeps went down easily, then reikwald was attackable and destruction get there in a minute of running south from Morr's repose.

Reikwald seemingly had few NPC defenders, and was 100 times easier to attack than in beta. The keep was entered from the back through a small rear door which required no ram etc. 5 mins later and lord was down. Was just heading to altdorf when I crashed, so to bed for me.

Just for information

I recall to have read something 'accesible for everyone on the server' and now it seems to be a level 32+ T4 PQ and nobody can enter the city itself.. gg

Well... this is utterly pointless. In less than an hour(?) it went from typical uncontested everywhere to two full zones taken and Altdorf pending? Did everyone on destruction find some orb of infinite exp?

In anycase this should not happen. Barely anyone is in T4 yet! At least surely not enough to take a capital.

Unleashed has quite a few 40's at least, and plenty of people are t4 in general.

Besides lords and hero's don't seem to have resists or the typical lvl-range debuff on players affecting them, so anyone can nuke them. My 31 sorc did 700-1000 dmg easily on all the heroes and lords.

I agree - if it wasn't bugged, then something needs to be done about it. Especially in the state of the server is now in (most ppl I guess are somewhere in the beginning/mid of T3 content). Furthermore, it's 2 o'clock in the morning on a weekday - not many ppl in game I guess.

Still, GG destruction - you got more 32+ rank ppl.

Someone really needs to explain what the lowbie players role is in this. We're just standing outside of the entrance!!

I can't believe the defence is just for 32lvl+ players. Low level players from both sides should be able to assist in some way.

GRRRR · Sep 30, 2008, 05:38 PM

Grats Zerg.

In two months or so when im 30+ too ill come and try helping getting it back

Phantasm · Sep 30, 2008, 05:41 PM

Even so... that's one side punished for not having enough people farming the crap out of exp for the vast majority of hours since release. Wonderful. The IC even went up another rank. As much as I sound like some raving Order fanboy, this reeks of either a bug(s) or as noted, rubbish npc's/mechanics. The devs even said this should take much, much longer!

they do.. in the zone control which sways and preceeds the zone control of the next tier/zone above it.. endgame is endgame and rare enough as it is in WAR at the moment

I was in stonewatch (as one of about 7 order folks actually trying to defend) when it fell. From the outer wall going down it was about 5 minutes to take, since destruction simply skipped Stonewatch's front door and waltzed in the back via the postern gate (which apparently was working for them). It was fun to port through the closed front door right into a room of destruction...

wow that soon?

Wahnsinn!
I thought this was an all epic and a long process, what would prevent Dest from taking Altdorf every night then?
