I know many of you have asked previously about the old guild war map. Majority of you were not playing when it was still in use (it was replaced Jan 2004 with the current one). Here are some screenshots of it :-). I did not take these, I do not have a copy of mine seeing as it was sooooooooooooo long ago. Searching for this seemed far more interesting than exam revision.

Procrastination over - Enjoy!

I did enjoy this guild war style :-) was a lot more fun in my opinion than the current map.

kewl i always wanted to see the old map heard about but was already change by time i started

[MGofChaos]

i think guild war should rotate maps it get kind of boring. anyway i did heard also that the original gw map was better then the one now. its good to get a look at it.

[MrVoted]

I didn't even play then, wow... I honestly didn't even know about this lol..

[mistressyesumes]

Old GW map? Didn't know they changed it, looks better, harder to run, but more space to fight, doesn't seem to be a castle, worst part about it is that ****ing bridge and honestly we have that nowadays to.

[MrVoted]

Lol one of the globe quests map is the same as that, how cheap.

I remember

I think they need a new map again... Its so easy to hold the castle these days...

I'm thinking a mix of the two, 1 bridge but then a castle with maybe more gates? (harder to defend all at once), or no gate just another choke point.

On most servers now its 1 guild (and its allies) dominating against an underdog guild.. yet to see a server with an equal gw, so i think something has to be done to give the smaller guilds a chance, if they got the gear/skills to still win at the pole.


I also think they should change it so it isnt whoever has pole last wins, maybe who holds it longest or something during the last 30min, so you get a real guild war. Maybe multiple poles around the map..

Yeh it would be cool if they made a team war or something.

CheCKITOUT:

Maybe 20 random players on each team, the team with the highest total bp which always would include 2 kings(or all 3), was the protector of the castle;

Their goal was to protect the castle and keep anyone coming up to the pole and hit it 2 times or something. If they manage this then they get the price.


Then the other teams would have to attack the castle, get through the doors and line of defence and hit the pole 2 times; If he hits the pole, he`s teleported back to the starting line. If killed its back to jail. So any player on each of the teams had to get through all the **** and up to the pole 2 times and hit it to win the price.

The jailtime would be set to 5min(0mins if the option with the 3 kings was used), and the fight time set to 1 hour.

And then just add a potshop in the castle a little up from the actual doors so the protectors can get what they need.

Yeh they should definitively do something with the way to win it.

And it would be sweeeet if they added some guard towers or something around the whole map that you could stand on and not get hit by any of the ****s down on the ground unless they jumped up besides u. Like the guardtowers in that obelix and felix cartooony.

That's really cool. I started playing about two years after the GW change so I have never seen the old one. Thanks for the update.

I agree. Whoever holds the pole in the last minute wins is a useless idea. It just renders all of GW pointless until the last 5 minutes, especially with everyone one hitting everyone now.

An accumulated point system or time system would be more appropriate. It would actually promote a "War", rather than a bunch of allies killing each other in the last 30 seconds.

Oho loved that map. Although I didn't really dislike the newer one. Some defensive bonus had to be added, in this case a castle.

Yeah but the walls don't stop anything anymore. With Chi, Monks now hit insane damage at an insane rate. The pole takes less than 10 seconds in my server to take, even half way through flame lit. Essentially the only way to get through the gates is to have a DL open them or to stack one gate..but even then the pole usually runs quicker.

The problem isn't the map. The problem is that damage ratio's are all off with Chi implemented. Everyone hits insane damage.....something that was never a problem a few years ago in CO...Until now.

It has always been a bit like that, but now it is being noticed more. We said the same thing after talismans, dragonsouls and critical hit was introduced. Things went too fast. Now with chi, it's pretty much overkill.

I remember monks with cyclone (attack speed pre nerf) ripping the pole in shreds in 4 seconds solo.

That was the day I quit. That and people kicking me in the air then one hitting me with tripple of course. On classic conquer, chi is a joke. Everyone is practically one hit.

Changing guild war map won't make a difference. The damage is too messed up to balance it properly.

Completely agree. TQ isn't going to do anything about it obviously but that's how CO has turned out I guess.
