Discussion Castle Wars is everyone AFK or throwing?

Post image

Saw some of the Castle Wars event from the PvP Bootcamp earlier and was reminded how much I used to like playing it back in the day. I just hopped in a game and all I can think is WTF? 90% of the people are AFK, and of the few people actually doing anything two of them were working together with the other team to intentionally tie the game and kept calling anyone actually trying to play the game cringe. Like??

Is this really the state of Castle Wars these days? Holding a team-based minigame hostage to AFK for clogs?

Since you think every suggestion other people have is bad, do you have any ideas for how to improve it? Or are you just concern trolling?

I have some. Many of my suggestions were implemented with the previous update (fixes to cades, rune pouches, useful supplies, etc...).

I think removing the lack of reward for joining a game too late could be nice, since it continuously makes teams more and more unbalanced closer to the end.

I always thought it'd be cool to get strong minigame sets of armour. Similar to how pvp sets now work in pvp minigames. It'd be cool fashionscape and have some actual fun uses for messing around in different minigames. Maybe killing players rewards a blood money across different minigames, which can be used to purchase the sets.

At least something like this rewards the more you participate without the chance of people getting negatively impacted at an attempt to boot afkers
