Bane attacking CP's

I've seen the Bane attack CP's a lot. I've participated in lots of defences of CP's. Ok great.
Have you ever actually seen a CP captured by the Bane though??? I'm not talking like the unpopulated 27th instance of a zone. I'm talking like medium-high average zone.
I've yet to see the Bane come even close to ever capturing a base. Wondering if you have?

In Wilderness its a little dificult to see that, but...in Divide? Everyday! Its War in Divide and the Bane are way worse! I saw Bases with more than 10 player with lvl 15 or higher with NPC suport and being defeated! Its a total slaughter and...FUN! They keep coming with even stronger numbers!! Wilderness is for players to learn to fight, in Divide is War!!!

Man, it sounds so awesome. Can't wait to load up my trial this weekend! Problem is, i can't find who sent it to me to thank them since they sent it via NCsoft!
D_TOX.
That's right, it's really often when they capture the CP.

This is funny, because I have been only little time in Divine and was going to ask, why it's so quiet here, where the all action? I seen in Wilderness them taking CP's to control many times, but haven't even seen real attack in Divine.
MMORPG.COM has worst forum editor ever exists

Different servers? Alternate time-zones?

I just got to Divide last night and the CP defence is certainly a step up.
In Wilderness the CPs only had one doorway to defend. The Hydro plant CP in Divide has THREE. And all three being attacked at once too!
Wait til you go through the portal in Torden, damn bases are always overan with Bane. I logged into a base that seemed to never get captured only to get man handled by a zerg fest of Bane Snipers and Caretakers.
ive just taken part in 2 defences of a wilderness outpost,the 2nd of which the bane took it.
I like the way as they grab a foothold different types of NPC show up,there ended up being some that came along with these weird demon dogs that were tearing around the base on a killing spree.
Ive also been grinding at the memory tree holding off the constant invasion that takes place there,watching each side deplete and then reinforce for a constant battle.
Very enjoyable,I hope the game moves solidly in this "war" direction of base and outpost defending and attacking ,rather than becoming yet another repetitive quest grinder with raids at the end.Being in the middle of a war is a hugely refreshing and fun change of pace.
This is really great to hear! I can't wait to get my ass handed to me in a tooth and nail battle with the Bane! It's refreshing to know that they DO actually put up a fight every now and then!
Thanks!
Back in beta, the Bane hardly put up a fight at all against/in defense of CPs but the developers listened to the complaints and made them hit hard and heavy now in large numbers. As a sapper, I never want to be standing outside alone when the Bane attack a CP around my level or I'll get my ass handed to me quicker then you could fire off a shot in defense. Even with a decent defense, attacks often last awhile and can often break through the shields and take a CP if the players aren't careful. It's definitely great fun and you won't be disappointed.
There is one problem base in Torden.... Ortha, the main base on Incline. Since its a main base with the dropshippad, there are always people there, even in the middle of night. So it rarely gets captured (been checking it early in mornings, but its still held by AFS).
uh yeah ....
LZ in wilderness[1] ...
started as a normal bane attack with like 7-8 defenders .. then the 3rd wave was 4 level 20 of those walker things ... yeah they took the base from us, and it took a 20+ attacking force to get it back.
so i dont know how often the attack is that way but it was a surprise for all of us standing there.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
I can't speak for release, but in Beta the higher zones were CONSIDERABLY nastier for CP capture. It also depends on the CP.In Wilderness its a little dificult to see that, but...in Divide? Everyday!

For example, if I remember right, there is a CP in Mires that is quite hard for the bane to take because it has a nasty choke point which is basically one bridge over a circular chasm, probalby two smart peopl could hold that all day. Which is actually quite cool.
Anyway its important to remember that the farther away you get from starting area the more you tend to be in enemy territory. If you are assuming that TR works like WoW or EQ2 and that all zones essentially follow the same spawn model you will be in for a surprise, but not really until around level 25+

You sir, are outdated! I strongly recommend that you go play the game like he is now!!!
In beta as long as 1 player was around to clear out or push back the bane they would never take it
Normally you will have some passing by just stop kill them all and move on and with quest going on at the CP or around it the bane rarely would take any cp except on the the low pop worlds
When the bane did take one its shown on the map when you go to teleport and so player would call it out or head there them selves it takes only a few mins to retake (was only about 2 mins but might be 4 now) so you will rarely see them controled by the bane
wilderness, pick one of the lower pop shards at an off hr. Great fun , good way to get your offensive tokens out of the way. after they take the base pull em out and pick em off.
