Greetings all. I am Acium, Lord Commander of the Greywall Wardens. We are a newly established force on Darkhaven and are actively recruiting new players and veterans of World vs World. We do NOT require people to run specific builds as we are a Capture and Hold type of guild instead of a Zerg Busting one like most are. Our Guild Ops will consist of hitting an enemy borderlands and hold whatever we capture for as long as possible. Our training will not consist of stacking up and bashing into other zergs. Our training will consist of finding siege locations, utilizing the choke points in keeps and towers, and using CC’s and Siege to the best effect possible.
Now some of you are going to wonder, “WHO are these people, WHY do they PPT so hard, HOW do they do this”. Well let me tell you
First is the WHO. We are a small group of Wardens that play the Capture and Hold part of WvW. We love capturing a tower or keep and Holding off enemy zergs one after the other and we are looking for those that love the same thing we do.
Next is the WHY. The WHY we do it is simple. Darkhaven needs it. My server has many guilds that zerg bust, and are extremely good at it. But that is not for everyone. Most people like to go into WvW for the fun and not want to have to change their builds and stay with the blue tag like a fat kid on a twinky. Which is what we offer. My guild will NOT make you switch builds to play, we want diversity and uniqueness.
Next is HOW we do this. It may be simple to explain how we defend a keep in theory. But in practice it is much harder. You need a constant feed of the enemy position, where they are, what they are doing, how many. You need constant flow of supplies coming in and you need siege to defend. If you are caught unprepared then you have lost already. So I have come up with a plan to set these in motion and that is to break the guild into Squads. These Squads will function as follows.
Squad 1: They are the Squad that will hold the objective that was just taken from the enemy, they are in charge of siegeing and upgrading.
Squad 2: This Squad is the attack Squad. They peal off after taking the main object to try and cap anything else that they can. But in cases of dire need to defend they will return to Squad 1 and help.
Squad 3: This is my Scouts/Roamers squad. They will cap and recap camps, sentries, tag keeps, and kill any enemy players they can. They will also harass the enemy zerg the best they can by picking off stragglers and up lvls. But will return to main unit upon dire need.
Squad 4: This squad is in charge of the supply lines. They will walk yaks, defend them, and make sure our main camp remains open. But will return to main unit upon dire need.
Each squad will have it’s own Captain but will still be directed by the main Commander. Squads will also rotate players in and out so that they can get into all areas and not become bored by building siege constantly. At one point you may be walking a yak and the next you may be a roamer. We will not let you walk yaks all day as we know it is boring but is needed and will not go unnoticed.
