Siege Battle question

I am really interested in this game and have been following for the last month or so, however one thing concerns me. I work 2nd shift, and see that there is some kind of a window to participate in a siege. I work 12:15-9:00PM CST, will I still be able to participate in the sieges or will I be SOL? Thanks for any help!

Guilds set the time frame for which they can be attacked, so it really depends on the guild you are in. In your case you would want to find a guild that is willing to set a time frame you can participate in.

Thats pretty much carebear stuff right there. Only a homo guild wouldnt have themselves open 24/7 to attack, as that is the most realistic and In-Character.
Hahaha set a time so you can be attacked, most absurd thing ive ever heard, may as well have a tea party and hold hands after wards as well. So much for next gen pvp.

Might be carebare to you but i see no fun in having your keep destroyed while you dont play. Im happy with everyting funcom has done to pvp.

Perhaps Funcom realizes most players actually have a real life, and don't play the game 24/7 waiting for a guild to go to sleep, and then take their keep. What is the fun or challenge in that? I think leaving it open all the time is much more "carebear" or "tea party and hold hands" because a guild could just wait till 4am and take a keep without any work. Perhaps you should go back to your "carebear" games and let everyone else enjoy the fun.

The way I understand the system is that the guild with the keep sets the window. If you have a larger window the defender benefits from that. If you have a more narrow window then the attackers get more of an advantage. They have not said what the min and max windows are as far as I know. Also there will be a cap as to how many players can be on either side too.
Love it or hate it that's how it's going to be.
Funny how people change their tune on this forum from AOC PVP will be the king of all pvp games and no carebears stuff etc, and now with more and more just the same old wow stuff, people arnt saying anything because its Funcom. aOC WILL BE TRULLY GENRE DEFINING and kill wow and true next gen blah blah blah blah, same old exact crap as before only thing is they lauch with BG rofl. LOL funny thing that.

Yes thats the definition of homo isn't it.
Thanks for the help all, I did not start this thread to start a flame war though lol. Just wanted to know how exactly that would work, and now I know. It seems like the best option for the PVP to be fair for both sides, plus funner as you will actually have a big battle with people there to defend it.

wow... some people are morons... having a window is MORE realistic . you see, the time frame hyboria represents would have keeps similar to your guild's, but in this real city would be hundreds of troops on watch at all times, its their job. so no matter when this city would be attacked, may it be noon or midnight, the city is ready to defend. so setting a time frame allows the city to set up a defense. waltzing in at 3am with no opponent is unrealistic.
dont make comments if you are so dam stupid
but yeah OP, just join a guild from the opposite coast or even europe. plus there will be probably about 50 (have they said?) battlekeeps to attack, so im sure there will be probably 5-15 vulnerable at all times.

I thought there were going to be 9 BK's per server?

9? seriously did they say that? there will be like 10 guilds attacking at once

/sigh lame pvp
You take turns attacking. Only one guild can attack a specific keep. I thought there were 3 zones of the Border Kingdoms, and each had three keeps, so the most you would ever see fighting is 3 total fights happening in the zone at one time. We also know that you have to sign up or que to participate, and higher level players get in before lower level players. On top of this, there is a limit to how many people can participate but they haven't said how many yet. I would assume it is capped around 250 people ish.

Don't forget the numerous smaller keeps scattered around the Border Kingdoms. There are 9 Battlekeeps which offer bigger rewards/bonuses but you also get bonuses from the smaller keeps as well.
I wouldn't worry about sieges for a while there not even finished making them yet or testing them beyond small internal tests. Oh and btw they don't plan on ever allowing beta testers to even see them before release, so when they are finally finished they will be buggy as hell.
Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.
Everyone knows that battlekeeps are going to be used to keep "score" between guilds in AoC. The scrubs that know they are godawful always want to be able to "score" without having to earn it, aka all the crying about timers. Funny how the scrubs are calling it hardcore to take a base with no defense.
I saw the same group of scrubs in SWG setting their base timers at 3am because they knew they had the skill of a slug and had no chance of actually winning any fight. On the opposite side we use post on the boards the day and time we would take their bases so we could get a fight.
Yeah to the victor, not the ninja goes the spoils. If your scrub guild or alliance cant take a keep that is defended, disband and join one that can, easy enough.
Hahaha set a time so you can be attacked, most absurd thing ive ever heard, may as well have a tea party and hold hands after wards as well. So much for next gen pvp.

Perhaps you should go back to your "carebear" games and let everyone else enjoy the fun.
This guy is right.Take your lil cheap, no skill *** elsewhere, all you want is easy mode.
Bet you are like this in real life too....

Lol waiting for a pre determ,ined time to attack is easily the lamest pvp i ve seen, no clue why they would implement it. So what if some lame guild takes it while ou re sleeping , take it back from them with force and show them how lame they are.

Im Truly sorry Demz...Sorry that you and that fat guy from the WOW Southpark episode are the only two people on Earth with ABSOLUTELY NO life, and I am sorry others have the need for human pleasures such as women and food( Not just hot pockets and cheetos-Your main diet). So perhaps if you need some truly hardcore PVP its time to start looking elsewhere...Perhaps Iraq?? Theres some real next gen pvp for you... Oh and I almost forgot .........
piss off
