a new wvw event

Posted On: 11/24/2013 at 02:34 PM

been playing a lot of wvw the past few weeks and the more I play the more I feel like we are playing BG style witch consists of zerging around simply caping stuff and moving to the next not caring if we lose it or not.....  I would like to start an event that focus on defence at all cost,  I know sometimes against full zergs this may be difficult, but I've seen very small groups hold off a zerg with well place siege weapons and the will to simply stay even if death is knocking at the door....  I would like to know if there are others interested in this kind of play style to determine whether or not I can have enough ppl for this to work...

If the map has resorted to the karma train mentality (As it does late in the week) be prepared for lots of hate in your direction.

I think this is one of the big problems with the current season setup. Once you have a clear victor established for the week people give up on their objectives and just farm. Don't get me wrong, I like getting massive ranks as much as the next guy. However, the competition goes away at those times and it is just another grind.

yeah well to be honest I don't follow karma trains and they can hate me all they want,  but the fact is if I try and hold a position I will, and well if the other servers are running trains  we probably wont be able to stop them either way, but atleast we will have fun trying,  and might even get tons of bags out of it :)

 

@balor,  yeah AC mastery will be nice,  ballista can also help a lot  and well I do like the cata one as well where u can create a bubble, set that up with 2 ballista on each side could cover a few of your siege pieces ( now that all depends on how big the bubble is )

I'm with Balor on this - if I'm free I will help but the holidays are a "no fly zone" for me as I do much of the cooking and prep for family and friends.  Being retired is nice but it comes with a cost during family/friends event time - as I get volunteered a lot (and actually happy to do it) and the same goes when grandkids are on school breaks.

And I'm not a morning person - so before noon PST is also out....   but other than that - if it is a WvWvW event and posted on the site - I'll be there.

My favorite thing to do is to repel borders (sorry - flashback regression to a past life on board a naval frigate).  There are quite a few times I go into another border and head to the tower near our respawn and start the upgrades and lay counter siege down.  It becomes a little frustrating when I say in map chat that the tower is being attacked and the field commander says "Let it go - we don't care" and after I die - and respawn there are like 10 players just standing in the respawn point - dancing.  One evening two other players and myself held onto the tower and the water supply camp for over 2 hours from several attempts by the enemy - and finally lost when the entire zerg showed up.  I think we actually upset the entire BG for ruining the natural order of the Karma Train that night.  It felt good!

So - yeah - I'm in.  It would be like a reverse Dagger group.  :)   About 10 players could hold a tower - and maybe even a keep - with well placed arrow carts and counter siege if they wish to put down catas and trebs.   Most of the Karma zergs give up if there is any valid defense - they just keep running on by.... won't waste their time.

This sounds like fun Doreth, just going to be about what day and at what time.  I am on the West Coast out here in LaLa Land (Los Angeles) so I will keep an eye out for your next post with the details.

@Morigana  I agree with you I love to stop a zerg in its track specially when they think they can just speed run through everything,  me and about 6 random players held our own in vale and brair the other night for about an hour before mag finally over ran us, we must of had about 50 loot bags each..  and well its true it seems since they implemented the wvw season there are new wave of commander that are in there now that only want to cap stuff,  hopefully we can change this in the future....

@SteveEL well winter is coming along so my time slots are easier,  so this is why I started this post to see what time slot I'll need to post in so we get a fair amount of us to play along

Well evenings are best Monday thru Friday, anytime after 7 pm Pacific Time and weekends are open for the most part.  As we start getting close to the holidays things might get a little shaky.

well spots for wvw are kind of rare but looking at the calendar,  I might try and run it Wednesday at 5:00pm server.. personally I would run it more around 10am server time but I think I might lose a lot of ppl.. being EST make it a bit harder to get all you west coaster out.

 

and for x-mas time I wouldn't run it simply because I run off to family stuff most of the holidays.....  might try and get a few events here and there to test the waters and after the holidays look at scheduling a more fix event
