In all honesty, I believe this boils down to buffing siege for defending keeps.
On Live, with catapult assisting, ice balls and a decently coordinated group (5 catapults, 2 heals and an 8th running around setting GTs) it was very possible for a group of 8 to wipe zergs.
It was very motivating to go out and defend every keep even when drastically underpop becuase you knew you'd most likely lose the keep and siege, but you'll finish the fight with 100+ kills.
Siege here has been nerfed to the point where it is used to kill structures and that's it. Couple ideas:
- Remove the distance requirement in between siege equipment in a keep courtyard. Keep it outside of keeps.
- Bring back GT Assist!!! Or implement an easier way of coordinating siege GTs. I know Volley GT assist was pretty cancer, so something only applicable to siege (maybe only catapults) could be an option.
- Buff the Ice balls damage. Make them more expensive, require specific ingredients to craft, etc.
We want to be able to kill people with catapults, not just rupt them.
