Good Luck. The IX corps has been looking for a Saturday siege for a while. If the event ever transitions to that day I bet  allot of guys would be interested.

So, a question. Does the NA community dislike Siege events or is it how this event is presented? From what I can tell, there are no current siege events being hosted within the NA community, unless I have completely overlooked them. I am seriously curious if there is just no interest in Siege events in the NA community, the day is just bad for a lot of regiments, or if you have disagreements with the rule set presented. Please I would like to see some siege event hosted and would appreciate any feedback given.

1) Its on a Tuesday which happens to be a busy day for people both in terms of regiments and real life.

2) I think people just don't like siege anymore, the lag/bugs it causes for some people has caused it to have a decline in interest.

3) I think the last siege that was hosted was by the 3eVolt on a Saturday, don't know if its still going on

For one thing, a Tues is not that great of a day considering a lot of "good" regiments already have events like Grimsight's 7NA Tuesday linebattle. So maybe if you rescheduled this event to say a Wednesday, Saturday or even Sunday I could see more regiments attending (Including the 40th). As far as I can tell, there is nothing wrong with the rules or the thread. One thing I have noticed however, is that regiments tend to get bored of seiges hosted weekly. This happened with Grimsight's Saturday seige. I think something you could do to prevent this is to host this event bi-weekly. Anyway, this looks like a pretty cool event...good luck!

Personally I like siege, but it does tend to get old after a while using the same maps, along with extreme lagg.  So as long as you have a solid hardly laggy server/ and a nice map rotation (maybe some good good custom ones like the 15th eu have) then people would be interested?  Another fun thing would be conquest like the 92nd used to/still do, those were damn fun

Good Luck Vinago! Sadly 22e has a Tuesday event already. D:

No regiments do not hate sieges as a whole. I would say useing a variety of maps would add allot of flavor. I have never been in a siege event that has not lagged but the best server possible would hep allot. I think a weekend event could attract many of the respectable groups in the community.

 If I was to say one more thing its make sure the artillery on both teams knows what it's doing. Nothing can ruin a round more than incompetent artillery.

Well the plan is to keep the attendance underneath 125 players as much as we can to give the server some breathing room. Plus it wont over crowd the maps. But If the server performs well with that we may bump it up another 25 players. But 150 is as high as we will go on that.

This has been officially moved to Saturdays now.

I love conquest as well, Karth. Especially when you run it right where regiments are required to spawn out of their home location and can move out in lines of 5-7 or more. Makes it fun and takes some cordination to win. Sadly the community has no interest in it from what I've seen.

Updated! I appreciate all of the feedback and now this event will be hosted on Thursdays!
