Talabecland Tower

[warlover]

Could you please allow us to mount in the Tower Bo in Talabecland it is way too slow up and down that thing with supps and fighting, nobody wants to hold that Bo anymore!

Thank you for your consideration ahead of time

I disagree. Verentane's Tower is a great place to fight.

And you can still fight with a mount so we both win

I concur actually. What I don't think is fair, is being kited up those stairs endlessly, while a lion or turret attack/kill you through the walls.

No one can actually fight while mounted. My intent in posting my video was the attempt to illustrate fighting and moving around inside Verentane's Tower isn't difficult or time consuming but rather quite intense, and whatever time you believe you might gain by mounting to run the stairs will predominantly be irrelevant.

Here is another example, a second fight inside Verentane's Tower only on this occasion from the Destruction point of view. This is another good video overall but that particular fight begins a little past the seven minute mark.

that fight looks like what took place last night in Talabicland lol. a 12 man held back over 24+ destro while holding that tower. being able to mount up in that tower can be abused to clip through lines of tanks blocking the door, the LoS in that tower is pretty tricky to place aoe at the door when defending so its less likely for the front line offense to be dismounted.

Verentane's Tower, or as I call it Hotel Oblivion, is a great place to fight. At least in my opinion. I just don't see how being able to mount while inside would be beneficial to anyone. Even if the place is vacant and you are just running supplies how much time would one actually gain?

being mounted makes collision better to navigate through and due to its tough place to get aoe down for defense mounted players can practically run past tank walls. its not about we should be able to stay mounted in that tower while its vacant but more of what if the player exploit the advantage of running through tanks ignoring collision to get deeper inside the defenses.
