Huge fan of sticking around low and pushing limits but since when is Akkad a straight up death trap? Can the tower dusty have a door, a smob and an extra patty at the entrance too? With a 1 exit jump room that also has a patty? If that's too close to Kajin, then add a few rooms to Commie's tower and do it there. Or can Akkad be looked at please?
Mostly a PDW was an unfortunate way to lose Lamans. Hopefully the new user takes risks with it as well.

Re: Early Morning Mistakes at Akkad
Yeah, I've been thinking about how it could be made into a location that is still a regroup point without it being a DT for low numbers PK and here's an idea, make it act like Agelmar. Where alone he has a small retinue of mobs with him so you can attack a Player using it as mob support but he won't call in his extra patty unless one of his mobs is killed? I think? I could be wrong on how exactly Agelmar works but the ideas there.
If Akkad didn't have an extra patty of darkhounds and instead called them in if one of his grouped trolloc mobs died, low numbers PK could exist there. A good risk to hit but less of a free kill.
That and the jump exit doesn't really need 4 fades in it either. 1 fade, 1 dragkar and that massive trolloc for flavor is already a lot of defense splitting and agro pulse/jump blocking already.

Re: Early Morning Mistakes at Akkad
I think if you do that, you probably have to make it not count as a cityhead for TPs/QPs/whatever the reward is now. Sort of have to choose between 'regroup point for low number PK' which implies lower # of mobs, or 'cityhead that is srs business' which is higher power. Not sure how I feel about the jump power - it's definitely a lot for a non-cityhead room, but is also a lot of what makes Akkad scary (since 1d and the area below is pretty safe).
@Melosa - it's not moboled, so I guess are you asking for it to be nopick/moboled/unable to be moboled during noquit?

Re: Early Morning Mistakes at Akkad
So if Akkad was the target, as it currently is, you'd probably need 2 groups just to clear Akkad's room in 1 hit. And that leaves the fade patty 1u untouched. If 2-3 trolls show up to defend the narrating Akkad, they could probably win fairly easily in Akkad's room and the jump exit room isn't really an option anymore if 1 troll spams there. If you took 3 fade mobs from the jump room and put them stationary 1d of Akkad, DS would have a strong secondary fall back point (from Akkad) and LS would be able to regroup/use the jump exit room better but still dangerously.
If Akkad is not the target, and the location is being used as a low numbers retreat, then this is where my suggestion of the Darkhounds patty being something that is called in like Agelmar's extra patty makes more sense. Akkad is still very strong but not the target so he doesn't simply end PK like it currently would.

Re: Early Morning Mistakes at Akkad
I mean it's a locking (though pickable) clanbase, it isn't really designed for a fallback point in PK unless you are really willing to take a risk. It's like hitting someone in a throneroom.
Re: Early Morning Mistakes at Akkad
With that logic then, Agelmar should have his entire double patrol with him at all times with a patrol 1w or 1n of him as well.
FD doesn't have the same deffences Akkad or GK does and is easier to escape from.

Re: Early Morning Mistakes at Akkad
Not all cities/bases are designed equal. FD is tuned to be able to promote PK inside, to an extent. I wouldn't really say the same is true for Akkad.
Is FD a little weak these days? Yes. But you frequently see PK inside and unless the numbers are overwhelming both side stand a chance of getting kills if you play it smart.

Re: Early Morning Mistakes at Akkad
Fair enough. I understand the logic there. And yeah, currently it feels like an abser stands no chance of living low in FD but that might just be an Abser issue in general versus all the OP combo weapons these days. Of which I might add, should all be downed so that abs weapons can actually shine in comparison. Right now it's a no-contest, combo weapons over perform.
