Changes to the Crown announced (sort of)

From Twitter

Trees grow fast on Auraxis.

nice more cover for attackers but won't destroy the defensibility.

Heavier shadows too... Brighter day; darker nights perhaps?

Looks like bigger spawn room

Looks like they removed the walls near the spawn room making it easier to camp.

Maybe .. It's hard to see the side closet to the tower .. But they might have also moved the hill facing door to another location so it's not open to Shell spam

Also the spawn building might be totally moved to be the 2nd New looking building rather than the one on the lip itself .. Guess we will see

I'm guessing that the changed spawn room is the new version that has roof access, shielded balcony etc.

Yeah it's pretty hard to tell from the smallish images.

Of ALL the bases in the game, THIS is the one they want to mess up?!? Oh wait, it was the only ones that wasn't a vehicle camp the spawn type of base

This is nice. Now lets see changes to base walls so that they actually provide protection from tank fire, and base towers that can't be scaled by every class.

Wait, people actually used the spawn room at the crown?

absolutely ridiculous. instead of providing defenders with more tools and defensible positions, they are rewarding attackers even more.

Good changes. Especially the terrain. People would naturally try to push up those hills but it had too much slope and you wouldnt be able to make it, now its an actual path that inf can take.

When the one in the garage is killed by sniping Magriders, yes.

I'm not trusting the devs with any changes(even if they seem small) considering 99% of bases in this game are indefensible.

Of course the Vanu would have a problem with their lightshow party central being messed up!

They should put a huge rock on the hill between The Crown and The Crossroads to stop the artillery

The Crown is SUPER defensible.. giving the attackers a little more cover is definitely not a bad idea. It's pretty difficult to push up to the crown as infantry or tanks if it's being defended, and it doesn't take many AA maxes to shut down the sky around it.

You're parking it in the wrong spot. Drive it to the western wall and south to the corner, then the wall shields it from Magrider Hill.
