There will be four types of siege weapons in New Frontiers:
Rams for use on doors
Catapults for use on Keep walls and enemies
Ballistas for use on enemy siege weapons
Boiling Oil for use on enemies attacking a door.
Other than the copy-paste, that was a fucking stupid post.Elorelen Hearthunter said:Siege Warfare
The largest change in siege warfare in New Frontiers is that the walls of a keep can be besieged and broken down. While walls are far more difficult to breach than doors, collapsing a section of wall is possible. Defenders will have to defend all parts of the keep, not just the doors.

Easily interrupted as well, gtaoe or that pbaoe dd chant those darn reavers got - ah well, guess it's just the normal behaviour from Mythic, nerfing something mainly used by the better groups/peoples, so that the actual cash cows will be able to break their weapons on doors
So basicly what you're saying is, that neither side should be able to kill each other (because killing others would be classified as "farming")? GG - If I want a game where all I can do is /wave to the other players, I'd have picked EQ instead."yea, nerfing smth which is used for farm, like they did with corpse summoner, right?
been numerous times on both sides, and i think this is quite nice fix ^^" - old.anubis

Towers
In New Frontiers, the term "Outpost" now signifies a keep surrounded by four protective towers. Each tower is located in a strategic location to the keep it protects: guarding a hilltop within firing range of a keep, overlooking a landing beach, defending a narrow approach, etc. Having these towers gives smaller guilds a chance to control a part of the frontier - towers will be able to be taken over just like keeps, with guild banners and spawned guards.
