SIEGE TOWERS
When an enemy player enters the region around a keep (i.e., receives the 'You have entered ' system message), hookpoints along the walls and elbows will show up to indicate where a Siege Tower can be built. Enemy players can then interact with these hookpoints to build a Siege Tower.
Building a Siege Tower requires that players have the materials available. The recipes are as follows : Albion/Midgard : 100 Alloy Metal Bars and 200 Ironwood Wooden Boards, Hibernia : 100 Dolomite Metal Bars and 200 Ironwood Wooden Boards.
If you have the materials available and interact with the hookpoint, the building process begins, represented currently by a large plume of dust and a translucent version of the Siege Tower. The Siege Tower building process is represented by a Hit Point meter. It will begin at 0 and slowly work towards full health. Defenders can attack the building process to attempt and destroy it before it can reach full health or delay the building process.
Siege Towers require that at least one friendly player with the appropriate level of siegecraft (600) be within 512 units of the Siege Tower while it is being built. If this requirement is not met, the Siege Tower will stop building. If the Siege Tower has been inactive for five minutes, the tower will collapse.
The Siege Tower name will change based on the current state of the tower being built. Example : While building, it will be called 'Siege Tower (building)' and while no one is around, and it is dormant, it will be called 'Siege Tower (inactive)'. This should help identify at a glance if the tower is currently active and building.
Once at full health, it will become an actual structure, complete with pathing, destroying the wall it is attached to in the process. The completed Siege Tower can be used to enter the keep. The Siege Tower can be destroyed by defenders through the process of repairing the wall that the Siege Tower is attached to. The attacking realm can keep the Siege Tower alive by repairing the Siege Tower/wall it is attached to. Attacker's repairs will damage the keep wall and the goal is to keep the wall at zero health so that the Siege Tower can remain attached. If the wall is healed by defenders past a certain point, it will become repaired and the Siege Tower will be destroyed.
- Outpost pieces will now degrade as a Siege Tower builds, culminating in the destroyed tower.
- Outpost pieces cannot be repaired while the tower is building and a message will inform players that there is a Siege Tower being built if they try.
- Players attempting to build a Siege Tower while stealthed will be unstealthed by the building action.
- Siege Towers are only enabled where hookpoints currently work on NF and regular servers. Hookpoints, and therefore siege towers, do not work in BGs or on PVE ruleset.
- Constructing a Siege Tower will flag the outpost as 'under siege' at the beginning of the building process.
Note : Due to the way the Siege Tower operates, pieces with a Siege Tower Hookpoint will now not take damage normally. This means the only way to 'damage' or 'breach' that particular piece is via a Siege Tower.
