TW in the new expansion

So I've heard that TW is changing in the new expansion. First, the maps are randomized, so instead of the tired old "lane A, B, and C" there will now be several different (more complex) maps to pick from. Nobody will know which map the server will pick until the TW starts.

Second, I heard that you can only stay dead for 2 minutes. After that, your corpse can somehow be "looted" and you get kicked out of TW. I guess this kills the whole "corpse scout" tactic.

Finally, I heard that TW pay is supposed to return with the expansion.

I've heard this from people playing the beta, but I'm not sure if any or all of these features will actually materialize in the final release. I'm hoping that it changes up TW, and I hope to someday be in a guild that can legitimately take on Essence. b:surrender

What do you guys think? Have you heard anything else about TW in Genesis?

    This would make some interesting changes to TW, good ones imo :) But I have no further info.

    And ouch... you don't think Kamisama is a "legitamate" rival for Essence? I can tell you from personal experience the past 2 wars have been tough and exciting, the challenge I was hoping for ;) (1-1) I am in Kami btw :)

    If your looking for a guild that can steam roll over Essence, it doesn't exist... They are tough and a "win" for either faction is by no means guaranteed LOL

    I hope you do find a guild that can compete in TW, gl :)

    hmmmmm.....


    3 wars previous to last weekends lasted far more than 2 hours with 2 draws and a win for Kami


    Yes last weekend was a bit dissapointing and was a bit one- sided but in light of the fact that wars are now extended past the one hour mark again instead of 15 minutes, maybe you could give a little credit to your rivals and say thank you to bringing back a little bit of friendly competition to TW instaed of acting as if Essence is still the only guild that matters.

    Damn people... get your heads outta your a---es and just be thankful that thier is still something to look forward to each week other than crystal walks toward map domination.

    unless of course that is all that Essence ever wanted instead of the 'balance' that they have been preaching since the day they formed. My guess is that 'balance' **** was always just that... **** and they had always hoped that Kami and Spec would destroy each other while they walked over all the other weaker guilds.


    Well played..... the trap worked.... most of the server believed you and actually jumped on the Essence band-wagon along the way. (most doing so hoping they would just be left alone).


    Hopefully more people will start to take a hard look at thier guilds and see that bidding is not futile.... one guild cannot defend 3 simultaneous YW's todat like CQ was able to in the past.. there are just too many 9x and 10x players on the server these days. So go get your rank 8 gear and quit sitting back and let others fight. The time is now to bid..... all we need is 15 guilds to bid and lands will start to change hands.

    Susa, is that you? Really? I don't understand the insulting tone here.

    Yes I was in this war. Yes it lasted ~1h15mins. Yes Kami fought well and hard IMO, Essence fought better - It happens!

    Isn't that what Ess wants after all? The standings are 2-2 (for the last 4 wars), I predict this will continue, and that is a good thing, no? Win some, lose some and all that ;)

    However, Kamisama IS good competition for Essence and should be given at least a little respect and recognition LOL Seriously, what ever happened to good sportsmanship and friendly rivalry?

    Cheers!

    If this is true then iam excited TW needs a bit more variety thrown in and updated a little. If it is not true then go suck a large sloppy aids covered ch0de.

    Here's to hoping this becomes true. Open map PVP can be fun... but the QQs/trash talking kinda makes it boring. b:surrender.

    My tone is that the only reason Kami won that war that didn't end in stalemate because we miscalculated our approach in defending both and then our scout lagged out and we had no scout on the lane you all kept attacking from. Take away both of these and that war probably ends in a tie as well. And if this is supposed to be a friendly competition Kami has its head much farther up its a-s then we do.

    I try not to trash talk that much and usually after a long war which goes either way I don't say much whether we win or lose. If anything on a win i congratulate my guild for winning as opposed to bashing the guild that lost. Though a few of the major idiots in your guild have recently ragequit due to the sales there are still those who felt like they were better.. when we defending multiple. Well anyway we have recently acquired many old and amazing guildmates so our roster is looking rather sexy, how's Kamis looking?

    While I enjoy the competition you provide to us, you are all still inferior. Do not get over your heads over that fluky win, that was only the result of our miscalculation not your hardwork.
    In my opinion, our faction is so much better and always improving, your faction is old and falling apart.
    Please continue to challenge us, but I will subtly insult your faction at the side because it is easier and more fun to make excuses and insults than to swallow the bitterness of defeat.

    I would love to take out essence as well, once i get to a higher level i will join a more aggressive guild. i once had a level 100, but didnt want him anymore. Why not try to join a bunch of factions together and then have TW's with essence?

    Based on the responses, it sounds like I underestimated Kami (sorry, haven't been back on Lost City for very long b:surrender). Glad to see the friendly banter back and forth...

    I seriously hope the rumor is true (I got the information from generally reliable and informed sources) because I think it would bring people back to TW. My faction on Arch fell apart because we were a TW faction filled with people who couldn't be bothered to attend TW... b:sad


    EDIT: Oops, this is from my alt. :) I am the OP.

    Ok back to the main topic >.>

    I heard in the new expansion TWs will be 40 vs 40 max, and not 80 vs 80 like it is now, to reduce the lag and make the TW last longer..

    I hope that this is true.

    I did not mean that TWs will be more than 3 hours..
    What I meant is that making the TW 40 vs 40 should make the 5-10 minutes wars, by zerging all 80 mid lane, are hard to achieve.. That is what CQ used to do before >.>

    Dude the 40vs40 wars have absolutely nothing to do with TW.

    The 40v40 is gonna be for guildbase wars, TW will stay the same with 80vs80.
