Shattered Kingdoms

Lol.

I mean, it's been useless ever since recall got moved, but one would think that trib recall would take you to the "crystal."

I would really like to see something in the trib wars where it can effect the economy of the winning party for attacking. Not just collecting coin to then put back into the economy either.

I wish I had a sandwich.

Would leadership get removed entirely is my question, or would support spells still be availiable?

Ideas id like to input.
Siegecraft should recieve a perk as long as the crystal is inplace.
There should be a way to strengthen the crystal by adding places to farm crystal shards with a max limit of shards to be added. A tiered shard system to improve the crystal guardians attack and defence based on the power of the crystal, only at the crystals location, all other guards would remain the same.
If leadership gets removed, the trib members should also get buffs based on crystal strength. If the crystal gets destroyed, the trib members must input 25% of crystals max shard limit to have it restored
To muktar, maybe tier the coffers amount. The more money in the coffers, the better the economy and thus lower prices.

Support spells are still available.


Siegecraft could probably use a small buff altogether.


No. The purpose of the crystal is solely to prevent transport; it's not really the goal of attacking the city. However, a city where rifts can be placed, gates can be opened, so on and so forth, is a city that can be much easier to take for an attacker, and real economic damage can be caused when you can't prevent attackers from going in and out. Being well-funded means your crystal will be happy and functional and well-guarded. Not being well-funded means the guards may not show up, and maybe sometimes the crystal's just not working.

Once the infamous Crystal is owned, how long does it stay gone?

24 in-game hours seems reasonable. Maybe 48?

I'm not talking about just a full set of armor plus weapon which can easily take more than a few days if you are looking for good weapons that are hoarded. I'm talking about getting armor, good weapons, getting them enchanted, inadvertently blowing them up, looking for new ones, enchanting again until you have a decent number of runes on each piece, brewing potions and above all gathering the coin for expenditures. That never takes less than a week and depending on the availability of enchanters it can take a very, very long time.

Simple armor + any weapon without all that preparation will get you murdered versus a similar opponent that is prepared.

I do really like the Crystal idea, but like I was pointing out earlier. I personally believe it would be much better and more fun if the repair and/or buffing of said crystal was not done based on on money being thrown at it, but something that could be gathered. This 'source' would be placed in areas so that anyone of any rank could go but the entrance should also be a place where attacks happen but people too high or below a rank level, can't go in it (to stop lowbie ganking and stop higher level farming in areas that are too easy).
