Guild Wars 2

Will anything be done about red keep that can be easily hit from SMC with trebs?
Blue/Green don’t get hit from there and this clearly puts all servers that are red in a disadvantage. This would mean that the map might need to be altered in someway.
I don’t know if its a hard or time consuming job, what do you guys think?

The irony is that the red keep is supposed to be for the lowest ranked server and is meant to give a small advantage.

Changing it might not be too hard, though. If the touch-ups done to DBL were in-scope then raising the elevation of Overlook might be possible too.

You can also hit SM from red keep.

See who makes more holes faster.

Red keep on EB is the easiest keep to defend in my experience. And stop thinking about its defense within its walls.

Anyone else got deja vu?

Back in the day when rankings were by color blue keep was for 3rd place. Red was for second. Green was first.

As soon kitten flips its always under treb attack with walls down like 2min later. I fail to how that is so horrible for the keep owners.

edit: also for once the Anet kittenfilter actually worked decently. SM, kittens, ts pretty much the same thing anyway.

Red keep is the worst. No access to the dome for defense, three towers that have easy offensive siege placement and from the hill top both inner and outer can be hit on the keep. It also has a fairly convoluted run out of the keep.This on top of the SMC issue.

Red keep is on second spot actualy.
Green is strongest keep , and blue is the weakest
Red keep advantages :
- cannons and mortars positioning are best
- The only keep where rams can’t hit outer and inner on same time. ( double gate )
- 4 diferent acces points to top walls (stairs ) green got 1 ( destroyable wall ) and blue got 2 (destroyable walls ) -wich advantage defenders (cloud formation /free cast )

Raise it up so high that its trebs can hit SMC inner. That’ll get their attention. =D
In all seriousness though, red keep ebg suffers from that “easiest to defend inner, hardest to defend outer” adage that is similarly noted about fire keep on dbl.

I was wrong about red being lowest rank~ Thanks all for correcting that.

@Kovu

I have a very different experience with firekeep. The courtyard Cata spot in inner is very hard to defend due to the walls that block most defensive siege. There are no outside spots that give me as much difficulty save for the standard proxy Cata shenanigans.

Make the wall closest to the south cannon in Red Keep invulnerable.

Problem solved.

They did this to Wildcreek so it shouldn’t be a big deal. Of course this should have been done a long, long time ago.
