So these two places are suppose to have the best loot and raw materials in the game. They are currently way to safe from the most dangerous things in the game, the players. Rep penalty for PvP in these hexes should be reduced or eliminated.

Lets see how this goes over.

These abilities are still way to strong. When my 1000 exp alt can do as much damage as my two month old toon something is wrong.

The basic attacks should enable you to kill starting mobs and that is it. Ammo will not balance this, so don't try to use that excuse. The great sword and spear exploits hit just as hard as the long bow one. They all need to be tuned way down.

The safest source of copper in the game is buying it in Kruez Bernstein. Sure you can go up and try to gather it on your own but those mean Golgothans might kill you. It's way safer to just buy it from KB!

So do the devs really just not want us doing the harder escalations? With the healing nerf (and it is a nerf) and the changes to agro its impossible to tank and impossible to kite. So are we just not suppose to do harder mobs?

This Saturday at 7 pm est Golgotha will be hosting a 2v2 pvp tournament in a hex with an open PvP window (more details on which hex to follow) We just want people to come out and fight to the death. Matches will be best of 3 with the option for gear swapping in between the fights. If you would like to participate in the fighting list you and your partners character name below. Sign ups will run until saturdays down time.

On to the good part, prizes. First second and third place teams will get a prize! The three prizes are a +2 wep for each of the team members 200 health potions or 2k +1 arrows. The First place team will pick what they want then the second and then the third. If any other organizations would like to add to the prize pool feel free to post it here as well. There will be no entry fee.

Xeilias Empire is best empire!

With the state of WoT as it is right now with the attackers gaining points for anyone in the tower no mater how many defenders are their it is impossible to defend a tower against any sort of determined attack.

A group of naked attackers (suffering no gear durability penalty) can slowly but surly take any tower unless the defenders out number then enough to kill them as they run at them.

Tonight an out numbered force of Golgothans took a tower we really had no business winning simply by grinding our faces against the defenders and sticking it out until we hit 1000 points. We kept fighting but we could have just run in circles healing ourselves till we died and won all the same.

We have already had quite a few successful trade opportunities up on our mountain and I would like to have more of them in the future. If you are in need of +2 gear send me a pm and we will start working out a deal. We are also willing to trade raw materials and recipes.

I do recommend that if you are coming up the mountain to train you announce yourself pretty loudly to avoid the murder hobos that live in the bushes.

Has anyone done the math on what gear you will need to make the basic exploit irreverent? Assuming attacks to match the gear.

What knowledge do I need to get better loot from these guys?

As the subject suggests why are the devs so tied to saying we can't support every class in one city. I understand being unable to train everything and needing to interact with other cities to get all the training you need. I am fine with having to build something to support classes that you can't train but this notion that it should be impossible to have very class living in your city no matter how much effort you put in seems counter intuitive and unsustainable. Eventual we are going to have a multitude of arch types in the game. Cities will get burnt down or you may dislike some of the people you are playing with to the point where you have to leave your city. Why should years of training become worthless if you can't find a new home right away. This also completely discourages individuals from founding new cities. Why would I take my level 20 cleric out of his really nice city to go found a new outpost for my empire when eventually I will loose all of my skills?

I know some of you will respond with meaningful choices!!!! But there are so many other ways to put in meaningful choice. What you chose to train in your city will define your friends. That's a great meaningful choice. Loosing access to your top tier skills a month after you loose a war is not a "meaningful choice"

Charter Company Name: The Bloody Hand
Kingdom Name: Empire of Xeilias
Settlement Name: Golgotha
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Role: Assassinations, POI raiding, forbidden magic and general mayhem
Voice chat: Teamspeak

Leadership:
The Bloody Hand is a dictatorship with a small advisory council. Large decisions will be presented to members to voice their opinion on but all final decisions are made by the Grand Master of The Order.

Player Roles Accepted:
We are a strictly militant order. We do not accept those who are primarily harvesters or craftsmen.

Ideology:
We stand as an order of warriors, thieves, assassins and evil spell casters. Members will be expected to kill, and kill frequently. We live in the shadows of Golgotha. We take from those we can and complete our assigned contracts without mercy. We are the hidden blade of the state.

Who Should Join:
Assassins and raiders act as a massive force multiplier. One dagger sliding along the neck of a king can send a kingdom into turmoil. A small group of raiders can cause cities to starve and industry to grind to a halt. A cabal of necromancers razing undead can spread chaos and disorder to an enemy's lands. Anyone interested in having this level of impact on the river kingdoms will find a welcoming home in The Order of the Bloody Hand.

The Orders contribution to Golgotha:
During times of conflict The Order will be deployed into the enemies home territory to assassinate their leaders and wreak havoc on their supply lines. We will bring the enemy to the brink of starvation and chaos before our main armies even begin to fight.
During times of peace we will accept contracts for multiple types of wet work. Assassination contracts, caravan ambushes and POI harvesting of a more aggressive nature just to name a few. This work during peace time will swell our coffers and hone our skills for when the State calls upon us again.

Anyone out there who wants to practice the most heinous types of magic with out hiding it form those nosy paladins. Come move to Golgotha. Individuals and charter companies welcome.

I find the lack of evil guilds in the land rush disturbing. If there are any evil guilds out there I urge you to sign up or send me or any of the other Golgothans a message to open diplomatic ties. With so much good flying around we need to band together against their oppression.

The Order of the Bloody Hand will be founding a N/E city as soon as it is economically viable. We are looking for groups to come and make this city their home. No matter what aspect of the game you want to be involved in there will be a place for you here. As long as you have a decent reputation and are within our alignment requirements.

I would like to attract a FC dedicated to crafting and one more focused on PVE to compliment the PVP focus of The Order. Respond here or via PM if you would like a spot.

I have to ask. Who on these forums would be interested in such a place. At this point I am just trying to gauge community interest.

Hello again, The Order of the Bloody Hand is currently seeking a CC of crafters and PVE players (could be two separate CCs) to form a settlement with deep in the wilds of PFO. We are looking to build a city as far from civilization as possible. Therefor it should have access to some of the best natural resources in the game. Post here or whisper me if you are interested.

I know there are one or two evil CC kicking around out there, and Shadow Haven will accept anyone regardless of alignment. But has anyone mentioned starting and actual Evil(and more than likely lawful)player kingdom? I am also aware that should such a thing come into existence it would probably be sieged to hell and gone by all the good people that seem to be running around.

How many of you would be interested in putting together teams of 10-15 individuals and engaging in a PVP tournament? They style and location is of course still in the planning stages. I am just gauging community interest at this point. Everyone would of course be welcome to compete regardless of alignment or charter company.It can even be something our crafter focused characters can get involved in, selling things to the combatants. Right now I think we would do it twice a year or maybe quarterly. What do you guys thing, would you be willing to participate?

So we have had quite a few threads about bad things spawning in your hexes. Goblins bugbears dragons, the list goes on. Has anyone discussed beneficial things spawning? For instance, you run a good aligned hex a pilgrim to one of the gods is inspired to start preaching in a random location that is still fitting to his god. If you keep him safe from nasty things (see above) he may found a shrine that grows into a temple, and so on and so forth.

This would also generate meaningful PVP. I as an "evil" character hate your god and want to burn down the shrine and kill the pilgrim so I and my cohorts attack. Now there could be some sort of defense mechanic ere we have to stay in the area for a while to kill him and desecrate there area when the god players would have time to drive us off to preserve the shrine.

Thoughts?
