Who will take the first tower? Will there be lots of PvP or will most groups stay away from each other. Do you start from far away and work inwards, do you go the other way round. Did you plant some stormtroops deep into the enemy teritory to take some of their towers.
I know a lot of US players will be working - but at least they will be able to see what unfolds.
I will keep this up to date as it develops - assuming I sit idle in a tower and wait it to be captured. If you don't hear from me - well - then we will be busy.
Good fight Thod.

I just hope so that no core 6 are taken by us - I have a few 'lose' people and hope none sees an 'empty' tower and doesn't ask me.
About the tower we took - it was the same distance from Golgotha, Brighthaven, Bernstein and us. I was hoping we would take it by stealth.
And if you are at 700+ when someone else arrived then you defend the tower. But yes - if I expected PvP at any of the towers then at this one.
Oh - I hear my gaming group arrive. Need to kill one as he didn't show up as he should have. Was pretty close.

If you trust the NAP, it's better to start taking towers away from your settlement, trusting nobody will take yours, right? Right?
Exactly. And frankly, even if someone took a ring tower from Settlement A, holding it from Settlement A for any length of time might be harder than taking it day 1.

GG man,
We tried taking 20 towers at once, we showed up wayyyy too late.
The biggest issues we had were the same as everyone else:
1 - Hard to target opponents.
2 - Couldn't heal our own.
3 - Hard to tell friend from foe.
as to Number 3, go into your paperdoll and everyone pick the same colors to wear. That might help.
Attacking the Emerald Lodge forces. Man, I thought we were the evil guys.

GOLGOTHA FAILS TO MAKE HEADLINES!!
So the NAP stipulates that you can't raid gatherers within the core six towers either? Not just leave those towers alone, but basically don't conduct any warring of any kind within those six hexes?

I am taking BFK's core 6, so technically not NAP. But I am also not attached to a settlement, so they can reclaim them whenever they show up. The key point here is to demonstrate how absent BFK's leadership is/will be. That said, taking BFK's towers hurts Forgeholm, so in the future I will only take one of their core six as a means of assessing their activity.

No. If your core 6 are not taken, then other players can come in and kill your gatherers consequence free all day long. With your towers taken, that danger window is limited to your normal tower PVP window.

If I remember correctly, the NAP says you can't gain Capture Points or contest the "rightful" owner's attempts to recapture.

Yep.
Which means if people want a PvP "free fire zone" for training or inter-settlement "honorable battles"they need to agree to keep at least one tower hex somewhere un-captured to use as an arena/combat zone.

The NAP is in place, I don't believe anyone has taken anyone's core six that wasn't given permission.
I'm not certain of that, an unknown group has taken Aragon's 7:00 Tower.
The Only Authorized Groups are:
Aragonian Council
UnNamed Company
Allegiant Gemstone Company
Rats of Hanspur
Unless that unknown company Blackthorn's Company is looking to settle in Aragon, there may be an issue here.

I will not submit to PVP arenas! PFO is supposed to be open world PVP, any time and anywhere.
Bank Zombies Beware!!!! Don't think that because there is rep neutral ways to PVP, that you are safe where Rep counts. This is the River Kingdoms...
You are not safe
Only carry what you can afford to degrade (eventually lose)
It's all in fun (soon, it's all about the coin).

And I venture to say that unattended precence in the world will be unwise when the husks arrives next week. Regenerating Rep by leaving the toon on while at work .... Creates interesting opportunities ....
I just wish we had emotes so you could aknowledge precence without breaking off whisper chats which makes you look a bit ..... Unfocused when people talk to you...

It locks the Hex. The Wilderness Wanderers have successfully locked Blackfeather Keep out of two of its core towers until server restart tomorrow. We'll see how long it takes for the settlement members to reclaim them. In the mean time, one of the Agents of Erastil have joined with the Wilderness Wanderers (and helped in occupying the second tower after being fully informed of the situation) while another went over to Forgeholm.
(EDIT: OOC, I think I am really nailing the Neutral Good with this.)

Forgeholm had an uneventful time capturing towers (more time was spent figuring out capture mechanics and submitting bug reports).
We welcome all individuals and companies looking for a strong and friendly place to stay, and we respected BFKs core towers as per the NAP. We look forward to an active and prospers relation with our western neighbor.
Report from the front lines -
I directed Olecsander to go sit at towers for most of the morning. He awoke from his nap at the third tower to find a company member standing next to him. They compared outfits and talked fashion.
Ciuco, having missed the narrow window of company invitation the day before, paced behind Olec (someone had to guard the nap-prone dwarf). Biding his time, he spun in circles at the nearby wolves. A Gol visitor, Grim, happened by while recruiting. Ciuco waved. They exchanged pleasantries and parted ways. Sadly...there would be no battle for Ciuco today. Although he couldn't help but wonder if things would have gone differently if Olec had been out there on his own.
I, me...Hobson, wandered around the settlement I was planning to train in and shouted "HELLO?!?", "Helloooooooooo?", "Anyone there?", and "damnit" for hours and hours. Good times.

To clear up any confusion, I will state that Forgeholm has not taken any of Blackfeather Keep's core 6 towers.
Four are held by the Agents of Erastil, and two are held by the Wilderness Wanderers.
Well, since the Aragon settlement leader is AWOL, not much we can do about it anyway, or benefit from, heh

We are a bit troubled, I will add, to see instances of the Core 6 NAP treaty falling so fast into anarchy through "work around" free Companies.I hope that whoever took Aragon's tower really is an unaligned company of independents.

Tower dynamics really are lopsided toward attackers. I posted over on GW to open that conversation.
