Pessimist says less pk, optimist says bring pk mode and don't let pk-mode chars enter the towers.

I can appreciate the effort put into this, but I personally do not it like it. It diminishes the value of many items which will soon make them worthless to everyone. Also, the main staple of fort is that it was in one location where you could hold massive battles, not these peace meal battles where you can put multiple accounts and gank people. Another issue is that the inability to have items banked automatically like old fort also allows people capturing the tower to attack you with many items on you and being low food.

And the tunnel system? Is this RSCR's underground railroad?

I like the concept, I really do but I think if anything, that this should be in ADDITION to the already existing fort, not a replacement for it.

Sad to delete comments, if it's bad, it's bad

The goal should always be more pking.

plz.

why wouldn't they should be let to enter the towers? thats stupid.. just as the idea someone mentioned pk accounts can only attack other pk accounts.. too small community no restrictions just get the pking going shit has been more dead lately than it has been for years

Yeah i agree, I had thought that players from 'pk mode' would have enjoyed it so much they'd be motivated to make a flats to enter the towers.

However, after playing the towers I'm not even motivated myself to play so I take my comments back.

God spells dont work at p2p deep wild.. it say no restrictions.. lol I gear up and almost died.. should be God spells..

experience rate is comparable to the words: gender equality, climate change and veganismn. it's something im aware of, but having zero interest towards of.

ok so, the main complaints over fort pking was that the space was generally too enclosed -basically a death trap, particularly if you went in outnumbered.

other complaints included npc bouncing, obstructions, doors, lack of proper catching required and insufficient escape angles, etc.

so, you went ahead and doubled down on all of this, and put the whole darn thing in small towers and dungeons, and actually made it even more of an enclosed space, and subsequently more of a potential death trap, on top of not only keeping the toxic door fuckery, but adding the infamous stair hopping aswell. Straight line corridors, no space for catching or angled escapes, npcs directl

i know i shouldnt be surprised at this point, but jesus guys.. hit the torture break for a second and show some compassion to your loyal patrons for once.. this is too gory even for me.. have some heart

It is a place for skillers to gather more pixels not a place for PKers. Towers are a perfect place to never die unless you really really want to die. PKers really are 2nd class citizens. Every update slowly but surely favors skillers and makes the wilderness more and more Anti-PK. Remember a time when PKing was popping, hotspot was held by PKers and skillers had to pay to use hotspot? And they did because its a HUGE benefit. RIght now skillers are holding hotspot, towers. Not willing to fight if PKers show up, would laugh at the idea of paying for hotspot. And why shouldnt they? Its super easy to take hold of hotspot any time of the day. Its basically a freeroll for benefits without having to PK. You contribute nothing and get the benefits.  Just put on addy, have alts and a nice get away tunnel built by mexican drug lords. And should someone attack you that person is crazy stupid "Im not a pker bro, stop wasting my time"

The tower idea could be used outside of wild. Whoever has gained the most fishing xp in past 2hours gets to control the towers or something lol. But saying towers and PKing is related just because they are both located in the wilderness is not true. Might have been some PKing after the initial update but I dont see that being the case in the future.

I shouldnt complain tho. Looks like a lot of time was spent making the towers. They look good. A perfect update for skillers. Im just stupid to think wilderness should benefit people who want to PK and not the other way around drawing people away from PKing.

I understand people complained the fort was "too enclosed".... Yet, there were 8 different escape routes... none of which required a door to be opened or anything.  The fort was never used as it should have been... a fort is meant to be defended to the death... not run and log... or scream at staff because a chaos dwarf attacked you when you ran.

The towers will have tweaks and updates in the next few days, we have been taking the constructive feedback from those who have been in them and pkd near or in them.
The most important update being that you can not log out when in the dungeons.  So there will not be that just logging out when someone takes over thing happening.  Skilling in the wilderness, or training combat in the wilderness should come with risks.

I think the towers are kinda nice, especially east tower where no teams can get to you so easily. One annoying thing is the slow climbing up and down the ladder. It's a bit too easy to escape just by doing some tricks there (it's quite silly just going up and down up and down). Also I think when you climb up the pile it shouldn't take so long because now even if you attack someone already climbing up, hes going to get away. Should at least be able to cancel it.
Like you said it should be a risk to train in wilderness but it is just too easy to get out. I'm not a fan of parking accounts on the escapes or anywhere.
Could the tunnel entrance be a gate? I admit it's fun to act like you are going through the tunnel, and when your opponent is on the other side you just climb up the pile ;D.
Anyways at least I've had some fair fights for a change at east & west towers, haven't tried north yet.
