Disable activations during CTR/Seige/Etc

During events in particularly CTR the ability to activate turns it into just a rotation of sitting with merien shield on.

If activations were deactivated it would make for a much more enjoyable experience when coordinated pushes are actually able to achieve something besides making the holder of the relic activate until the enemies push is stopped

Maybe just no activations for someone holding the relic. I wouldn’t want to exclude all xelima / ice / merien activations from the party

Im agree with remco, the problem is only merien shield, just balance this situations, maybe disable activations if you are holding/on the same coord of the reliq.

Wouldnt it be very easy to get the relic back if a guild in ctr decided to use their xelima activations on relic defender? If merien shield gets deactivated in CTR so should xelima.

I thought like that at first too.. but then I wondered how hard it would be to get the relic without activations. E.g. you have to rush the enemy territory who have a spawn next to it. A good tank can handle lots of normal hits and the enemies around just keep respawning. Think would become impossible to take the relic unless you heavily outnumber them (which is a flaw by itself - we should get a change request to make relic even numbers eg 50vs50)


In the end people sometimes dropping the relic would be good for the interaction & it encourages the players to build and defend good bases to prevent the enemy from getting to the flag carrier in the first place

I agree with the idea of whoever is sitting on the relic not being able to activate merien shield. All other activations should still be useable. It's rare as of now for a push to dislodge someone from the relic once its on its altar. It would make CTR more fun if there was more chance for back and forth.
