Would you like to have Old thidranki back?

[Shenysh]

Or are you pleased with the new one?

I sure do miss those looonglasting battles on apk hill/rivershore by CK lasted for hours!
New thidranki is just crap with stealthers and bd's

To be honest there is very little difference except the keep is a bit more interesting to fight in and defend and in the newer layout you have a little bit more room to roam.

The main difference is you get a lot less players nowadays in thid which may account for lack of zerg fights you describe.

Stealthers and BD's will be in thid regardless of the layout, you can't blame "new" thid for that.

Personally I like it, the old thid was fun, but it was getting old and tired and the new one is slightly more of a challenge to take the ck.

 

[Argante]

only the ck its good, rest no

 

[Arumos]

Am i the only one that liked the old thid ck?

i like the current layout of thid and the only thing i would like back from old thidranki is the keep itself. Just enjoyed defending old thid a lot more than i do the new.

However, the bridges we have in thid now are a lot better than the old ones :>

 

[Shenysh]

old thid ck was actually defendable, new ck you have fg duudes catapulting 10 holes in the wall and smash up the keep, then camp on the battlements with animists and runemasters and warlocks and bainshees etc, and you gotta wait for them to come onto the roof to actaully be able to fight them :/ way to spread out for my liking but I guess thats just me..
new bridges attracts way to many stealthers imo =/ should be stealth nodes on bridges

Old ck model was way better than the current one. The courtyardfights were a lot more enjoyable. Running along the ramparts while casting people down there and still having the option to get in the inner keep rocked .

The limited amount of siege weapons was more enjoyable than the massive amount there are at the moment.

The old bridges were better than the current one as well. The current ones promote bridge camping, because they're too close to the actual ck. Trebuchets placed on the bridge shouldn't be able to hit the keep, in my opinion.

I also think that the new layout brought out more Hibs. In OF I could camp hpk for an evening and see nobody, this isn't the case in the NF Thid.

In short: old ck model, bridges further away from the ck and less siegeweapons .

Gotta agree

Was so uber fun when defending ck. I allways had a pb for door when that happens and it was uber fun

 

[Toffie]

I don't care about the keep, I miss the action. We need more people in thidranki

I agree with that tbh. The old keep was great I prefer the new bridges to the old ones though.

 

[Speedr]

I liked the old thidranki alright, but Abermenai fortehwin... so fun hiding behind that hill looking towards the front of the keep, hoping some wiz wouldn't bolt me ^-^

My vote for old thid.

Only less ppl due 2 classic server I think

Man I've been waiting for this thread! Bridges, terrain, ck, weapons, I sure do miss everything about old fashioned Thidranki. Might be just because I remember it from my first free month of playing, but sure there was something to it I just can't put my finger on...... Right! How many times haven't you camped APK just to shout: DOORS!!!!!!!! to all your buddies in thid after hours of waiting? Bring back old Thid asap, or make an alternative one.

Just you afaik... [ crap, wasn't supposed to let that out was i ? ]

 

[Everz]

Old thid > New thid.. thid atm aint nowhere near as much fun as it was back then.

I still prefer the new thid I think the only prob is the lack of numbers

 

[Everz]

Nah old thid was more fun, uber ck fights not bad for roaming, the bridges were at least fun to go on ;D

 

[Ashton]

Old Thid CK > New Thid CK

New Thid Bridges > Old Thid Bridges

Oh and I preferred Old Thids area between MPK and MB, there was just something about the way most Mids used to precisely follow the path to MB Fighting in the trees was fun too, oh and ''sniper hill'' rocked

So for me, slapping the new model bridges into Old Thid would be great.

Rezzing at the PK's and giving the location of the kill with the Death-message are the only other 2 decent things about New Thid imo.

 

[Zede]

old thid was to small.

every feckin night....albs would quickly camp mid bridge.....followed by camping mpk.... Zzz

just bring back the monoliths by the bridges, always fun to do them funny jumps and get to the top

This area is almost the best memory about the whole game i have....
perfect for sneak attacks etc. But the layout for roaming in thid is better now, just too bad we dont have the good numbers... i blame toa here aswell ;P

Is there really more to say...? And people claiming old ck pwned new but you prefer bridges as they are today, would anyone be kind enough to tell me why?? What's so good with new bridges? Head out solo on one of em and you're dead meat.

 

[Ashton]

Its far too easy to get to the Inner door in New CK. All thats needed is one person from silly far away to mindlessly treb one (or 5!) holes in the Outer wall. So I guess u could say my 'complaint' is really more aimed at the New seige equip, specifically its ability to destroy the Outer keep wall so easily from so far away.

I have many a fond memory of Old Thid CK seiges/defence, where most of the fun to be had during the seige (imo) was whilst ramming down/defending the Outer door. To me there seemed to be a much greater sense of teamwork during seiges back then. :worthy:

Once the New Thid walls have been trebbed to shit (90% of the time) we have basically the same situation as we would have in Old Thid once the Outer door had been knocked down - ie barely any decent positions to (range) attack from, leaving the defenders just waiting inside for the door to go down. The only difference being, that often in New Thid, half of the time the 'would be attackers' cant even be assed to kill the Lord once the Inner Door has been breached. This speaks for itself imo, taking New Thid CK doesn't really mean anything and its kinda boring for all concerned.

What's so good with new bridges? Head out solo on one of em and you're dead meat

They add a bit more variation, what with the ladders, different floors, vantage points (for ranged chars) and the ability to try and 'skillfully' escape/hide from the enemy in and around them. Having played ALOT of Old and New Thid i can assure u that u were in far more danger heading out solo to Old MB than any of the New bridges

This area is almost the best memory about the whole game i have....
perfect for sneak attacks etc. But the layout for roaming in thid is better now, just too bad we dont have the good numbers... i blame toa here aswell

Totally agree with u on that one m8

Anyway, hope that explains my point of view a little more clearly, and that I didn't bore too many ppl

 

[Dr_Evil]

Don't really miss the old thid, it's not that much difference at all, same people doing the same things. What I do miss though is old Caledonia. Wilton, Molvik, Leirvik etc couldn't really make up for it, as there are no new BG that in any way are similar to old Caledonia.

 

[Everz]

Caledonia.. best BG ever :worthy:

 

[Dorimor1]

Those big stones by the old bridges where you could just fire from up there, and that hill overlooking the road from mpk to mb.. was great for a scout old thid.

 

[deez]

Old Thid CK was /LLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Phooka]

i even remember fearing mana ments with my scout ^^

 

[deez]

Fooooooooooooooook Nf! ><
