Celestial siege aftermath

Last night Nova Krepusko, Band of the Grey Clover and Exalted went head on for the Celestial battlekeep with one single objective: burn it all down.

It started out very well, with 58 minutes remaining every single building in the russian BK was burned to the ground, except for the main building. This was where the problems started. Even though Celestial did a good job defending the keep, i can't help to feel how incredibly flawed sieges still are.

For example, how is it possible to get a siege weapon running, when you have 30 or so people respawning 20 meters away from it, and doing their utmost to destroy it? Every time we went in together we pushed them back to their spawn point, but once there, they could easily cripple out our force. Funcom should either make more siegeweapons able to target the keep than the one closest to it, or move the one the curently is closest to the keep. Or they could move the defenders spawnpoint once the inner wall falls.
Another thing was the default resspoint, which isn't the closest one to the BK (for attackers). Lots of people realized that when it was 20 minutes left :).

But all in all, it was a really good siege with some good fights.

Don't worry! We are going to burn it down soon as Celestial dare to put their timer somewhat near prime times. :) (bragging)

If you can't even destroy Exalted keep after trying to do that twice, you won't have any chance against celestials keep. And Exalted's keep is a joke compared to Celestial's.

Yep, Celestial's keep has many advantages compared to other keeps. It's situated very high up for one, giving them a good vantage point

Yeah, SCUM destroyed Celestials keep in the past but now it would be whole different story. Celestials have now more experience from sieges than many other sieges and also their medium player skill level is way more higher than it used to be long time ago.

They also have high PvP-levels since they have been farming eachother! Yay!
