Enabling guild flag warp in town

[Woo Nam]

turn
it
on
kthnx.

ive already heard from cessy u guys disabled it cuz it was too much of an advantage for the defenders, and id just like to say, thats its not suppose to be easy to take a castle. if it was, the castle commerce would always be low. a guild is SUPPOSE to use warp portals to get infront of the castle, not walk there.

Yeah I was wondering why the heck I couldn't use the flag in city to get back to the castle. It's annoying as hell~

[LightRocket]

Defenders are supposed to have an advantage against attackers when they've got a base of operations. :X It's just strategically and logically right.

Granted, I'm guildless, so it's not like it effects me. Just saying. :X

[Cessy]

I understand why the GMs disabled it when the server was really young. There was only like ONE priest at the time with warp portal so yea, sure, the recovery time was too much of an advantage.

But now there are many priests with warp portals in all major guilds so there isn't a reason to keep it disabled.

[GM-Ben]

It was actually disabled by eathena... not by us.

Flags in front of the castle does work.

And for the record defending guild will always have an advantage no matter what. They can precast/traps/ name it, they are prepared. Its easyer to defend then to attack. Only thing, an attacking guild will probably not need to kill the same person 3-4 times before to reach the emp room. But as said it wasnt us that changed it but rather eathena, so it will most likely stay as it is right now.

Really you could bye a kafra agent in the guild base and save there to compensate for the missing city flags, but it's still so much better with the flags on :\

[GM-Pandora]

As Ben said, the change was made by eAthena, however we decided not to change it and see how it goes.

You can use the front flag (outside the castle) which warps you inside. So we tought this would encourage guilds to have priest/monk/Super novice!! that can warp them, thus be more organized.

So far, there are guilds that have succeeded in keeping a castle so it's doable, if anything it brings more challenge ^_^

We will keep things the way they are for the time being.

[Woo Nam]

wow eathena fails at woe. dont pose theres a way to turn the flag warp back on?

Well- I know I'm probably not going to change the GMs minds, but I'm still going to offer my opinion.

I'm sure it's going to look biased of me to say it should be turned on, seeing as we do own a castle, heh. But I'd actually say that whether we have it or whether someone takes it from us. The thing that probably annoys me the most about it- is walking there to check guild treasure and invest and stuff when it should only take like 2 seconds. So there are other practical uses besides WoE only. It may not be a 100 mile hike- but it's still annoying.

I'd also agree that it should be part of the home-field advantage. What if the defending guild has no priest? ::Edited out next few lines::
...You know, maybe I shouldn't be talking about this and giving people ideas. Simple point being- it can't always be compensated for and can easily turn into a large advatage for the attackers if they make it through the emp. Just the way I see it, it should be pure hell to take a castle- you have to prove you're superior to the defenders..and something like this- should natch up the difficulty and make you say "thank god I'm on the defending side" =oP

And also if they get far enough, time is too precious to waste. Anyway- just my opinions.

I see it, it should be pure hell to take a castle- you have to prove you're superior to the defenders...
What if defending a castle should NOT be pure hell too? Why should the defender get such an advantage? You proved your worth taking the castle now prove it twice by keeping it.
