Open World Mode: Sieges

Calling: Horde mode group challenge event.

I'm guessing it will be Tabula Rasa-style "sieges", where bad guys attack a friendly point, and we have to fend them off. Maybe they will go all the way and make that point unusable by players unless recaptured (assuming the enemy siege was successful).

Hopefully some variation of this like it is in guild wars 2 for way points. But I hope there are npcs that are actually competent and the events don't occur like every ten seconds like emergencies so it feels like an accomplishment.

He said something along the lines of open world cross over, does or would that mean ps3/xbox and pc playing together or just shard cross overs? Don't know but it sounds interesting

It will be interesting for us PC users.

It will be a horrible day for for ps3/xbox though lol :P

How do you think they will work?

My guess is something along the lines of defending an outpost (iron demon ranch, the crater etc) from hordes of raiders/hellbugs etc.

Sounds like more mindless arkfall spam gameplay to be honest.

It's totally not arkfalls because the sky doesn't have meteors in it.

I think the siege would be something like this.

Minus the reaper cannon.

I'm hoping something like enfo team survival.

I'm sort of hoping it does like this:

1. Twenty people queue for Seige in a 10v10.
2. They become VIP and is assigned ten to each fort placed miles apart on the world map. (No player can harm each other)
3. Increasingly strong and numerous mobs appear to attack them.
4. All players can join to protect any one of the fort.
5. The "winner" is the fort with least deaths to the VIP and most total damage dealed. VIP damage contributes double the score.
6. All winning players (VIP and protectors) gets 5 keycodes and VIP gets 2 extra.
7. The side which lost gets 3 keycodes and VIP gets 2 extra.
8. Enemy scales as usual with more players so it wouldn't be unfair if one fort has less protectors.

this sounds good id like it but it would take work
