Like I said, it doesn't count, so I want to know this secret method to freely disable claim defenses that is supposedly wide spread knowledge. Keep me in the loop here guys. =o

I think it's "smash the walls, then smash the braziers". If it's anything other than that, it's likely a bug and needs to be reported. (Note: not counting espionage work.)

I'd love to hear this please. As a forewarning, throwing a million alts at them really doesn't work or count as successfully draining braziers.

hmm did they change blazer mechanics then? as the info i was told basicly state that you smash the wall repeatedly turning on every blazer in the town/claim run out and regen and keep doing that until all blazers are out of coal. as 1 coal is only a few minutes long regardless of firing. a full blazer unrefueled only lasts a few minutes to an hour. thats assuming people dont login and refuel them.

if that has been changed i should would love to see an official post by devs on it. instead of their hogpog half truth posts.

seeing as regardless of location every blazer on the claim is active by 2 charges of crimes. or least that was the old sytem in dec. unless i have been told different.

I found the issue.

So you have not tested your statement and are going purely on what others have told you? Who told you? Yasso?

i dont go out of my way to raid an grief people that havent wronged me. as for the walls i saw that first hand.

people simply informed me that you could effectively drain full blazers in a few minutes by damaging walls for crimes to turn them on. i dont play on plym so i dont have access to a million throw away toons to test every thing. i work with what i have and what i can see first hand.

if blazers have infact been changed from the later versions of easily disabled, great but i would rather have official word on that from the devs, if people are passing me info from irc or where ever. that is out of date or errored it will make planning effective town defense harder. as i was expecting the town blazers i built to be out of fuel in 1hr maybe less. :/ if 1 coal burns per activation and burns out in less then 8minutes. given i watched people break 3 stone walls in under 5minutes each wall. i honestly would rather know that blazers arent going to be out of gas in 30minutes after they broke 6 walls or half the blazers.

still havent seen any proof against the info i have been told though either.. grain of salt i guess

You don't have to raid or grief to test something.

The info I got is as recent as the Mushibag vs Tribe raid and Jorb said it's been that way since braziers were implemented

hey guys check out this hearsay and conjecture i have here, pretty cool right?

man, i'm so dumb as hell. i mean, i don't have any proof that i'm not dumb as hell, so i must be, right?
