Finaly, NW comes to town :-) I ran down to town and bought it at once. Then I head back, install it, and sit down for a few hours of fun. Well, things didn't quite go as planned, because I must have missed some "special rules" of some kind.
First, I travel out to our only base. It was only lvl 100 controller I think. It did support qlvl 150 "turrets" tho, so I bought 3 of those. I'm a 189 enf btw. Went out there, but couldn't place them. Reason was that the "green area" had gone away. I sent a petition, an ark showed up and said the whole thing was abit weird. Then a GM popped up and told me to fill out a bug-report.
Oh well, I went back and forth between town and base a few times, when I suddenly realized the base was under attack.
Question1 : Why don't we get any warnings when the base is under attack?
Anyway, me being a brave Enf, I charged in to defend. But, the guys attacking were too low , so I have to stand there watching them shoot our only base to ruins. Luckily, a huge amount of higher level clanners showed up to "help", so we got action allright.
Question2: How am I to defend my base against lvl 130s attacking?
Now is the part that gets somewhat anoying. I charged a lvl 190 Enf, taking him abit by surprise, because he was falling fast. At 10% he got Complete healed, so I rage, challenge + Fob and bring him down to 10% again... another CH. Repeat 1 more time. Ch. Then I were down to 50%, so I thought I'd teach that doc a lesson (he was standing just behind my original target). Ups, he is lvl 135, so I can't attack him.
Question3: Is this right, balanced and fair?
Sidenote: when I ran I got namecallings after me. I mean, what is that about?
To cut the story shorter, our base was destroyed, and the clanners were celebrating. The zone was 100%, so they were safe. 2 Hours later, me and 5 friends attack a clan tower, because we needed a new base. We got the controller down, and the zone went to 75% (I think). I placed a controll tower, and was about to place some turrets. Then the base gets attacked by 10-15 clanners. 1 minute after our controller is up.
Question 4: Isn't there supposed to be a "grace-period" for new towers?
Then a new war started, and some lvl 100-140 were attacking my tower, and I could just watch. 2 minutes later, I get killed by 5-10 highlevel guys. My bad for not running. I rezzed, buffed and went back in. When I grided to my base I got instantly attacked by a lvl 125 fixer, and my graceperiod was at 55 sec. he shot away at me happily as a fixer can be. I turn around to teach him a lesson, and I get "Player is too low level to pvp"-msg.... while he shoots at me. My grace was ticking down to 30 sec, and he was still shooting at me. Then I get attacked by the higherlevel guys, and end up running for my life without even attacking/defending anything. Got killed again, and then I get the msg that we lost that base aswell. Of course it went to 75% again.
Question 5 : What is going on here?
*** This is not a whine, or a flame of any kind. I'm just a "mildly" anoyed player, who doesn't seem to understand whats happening. I got so...ehm.. upset, I had to log. This night was the most frustrating AO-thing I've ever experienced since last August. Anyone have a tip or some info, and I'd be very grateful***
hmmm
