Q: In the last Q&A, it was mentioned that Guilds and Alliances may be able to claim Fortresses. High level, how will this work and what's in it for the claimer?
A: Correct, similar to the old system, an alliance can claim a fortress and bring more defense to bear for their realm. Other guilds in the alliance can also spot fortify the fortress with a new mechanic being introduced.
In addition to adding physical defenses to the Fortress, claiming these spots will reward Alliance members with various buffs to help them in their defense of the Fortress. These buffs are localized to the Fortress area where they are gained, and are not the same as any buffs or bonuses gained by controlling relics.
