Please give another way to get banners of the fallen

There are not very many instances of Stronghold Siege happening anymore. It seems to be the only way to get banners of the fallen through reward and strongboxes.

If you could make the strongboxes available elsewhere and/or seals tradeable for banners that could really help!

    That is true, I try everyday but was never able to participate in one stronghold siege.

    +1 SH siege is just not popping. It's boring to play anyway, maps are too large. Either that or remove tenacity and go back to having one sub-type of armor (no PVE/PVP).

    Sorry no, but they can't change anything about it. Doing so would deprive me of one of my favorite in-game activities: queue for SH PvP, wait 4 hours, queue finally pops, a bunch of red X's appear, and that error message indicating that one or more people have failed to respond, most likely because they've either died of old age or slipped into a boredom-induced coma while waiting, hits you in the face. I live for that, and would fight aggressively to maintain its status quo.

    This is truth. Just like the "Mote Farming" it has died after the majority of the people have collected all that they needed. The ONLY way that anyone in CA has been able to get a SH PvP match was during an entire guild event. Well... there have been one offs here and there, but it has never popped for me.​​

    All for this, here are some thoughts on ways to get it. How about the Master Of Coin that gives the pvp victory at Stronghold offering a banner once per day for a win in pvp or make them very pricey such as 1 for every 10k glory or 20k guild marks. I've probably been in ques longer for stronghold seige pvp overall than the time I've actually got to play it.

    mac hopefully they can fic all that one day. I am just hoping for an easy altenative to earning them through a game mode that is hard to access.

    It needs to allow people to get around faster. Yes, I know they're trying to extremely subtly and cunningly push people to buy orange mounts or whatever, but riding around looking at the scenery isn't a good PvP experience.

    With those mounts going for 8 million AD plus on the AH and no Zen options beyond lockboxes, they are doing a poor job at it.

    EDIT: Sorry, you can get an orange, porky (tanky?) bulette for about 2.5 million. But if you also want stats, well, pull out your wallet and close your eyes.

    What's really unfortunate is that they've tied something desirable to something so poorly implemented. It's important to note that I didn't say poorly designed - I actually like what they were trying to achieve, but when you factor in lag and the massive imbalance between classes and 'ultimate geared' players vs. those working to improve what they have, you wind up with something unplayable.

    DAoC was the best implementation of large scale PvP I've seen so far. They evolved from 'run out, hit everyone who wasn't on your team, die, run back and do it again' to a system that actually motivated people to participate by adding value to just about every play style: guild benefits for taking and holding keeps and towers, realm-wide stat bonuses for taking and defending relics, even a very popular PvE dungeon that was only accessible to the realm that held the most frontier structures. These guys were trying to deliver a system where PvP results actually matter for something beyond personal glory on list; maybe it just needs a few more iterations.

    snowborder101 - glad you pulled through. ;)

    Many of the guilds have not reached the point that they can use the banners... so they don't bother playing

    Once they reach the point they can it will become a viable PVP again

    I remember a mod on the forums was saying that underdark was the mod for small guilds or players that can't get the sh pvp gear .. Nice lie... I swear I wish I could find that post and quote it
