Guild Wars 2

how do you get your solo q team mates to …

rush the foefire lord together ?

many times, i experienced a loss because no one wanted to rush the lord at 350 points, the other team rushed our lord and we lost the match.

is there any trick to rounding people up to rush the lord ?

It’s all about going with the flow, you can still win if you play for points, and defend the Lord. Pushing Lord may be the best play, but sometimes your team isn’t taking it. Recognize that, and stick to one decision as fast as possible. Teamwork is the best call

Whatever your do, don’t act on your own and take longer to solo the Lord than it takes the enemy team to outnumber and full wipe your base & Lord.

To add to that, I think team comp matters. Do you have a scrapper/druid and ele? I think sticking to defending would be smarter since if they do lord rush, you have the means to defend him. Do you have a DH/rev/thief and a necro? You can burst down the lord in less than 5 seconds so its worth trying. But like Chaith said, act as your team does.

Asside from start of game precalls. Knock down the gate before 350, but only when far is yours and doing so without sacrificing the point. I usually do this when I know the game is going to be neck & neck.

Map Awareness 101
Situationally, you’re not going to round up your bretherens for a lord rush if they’re all scattered across the map. By scattered I mean 1 far, 2 mid & 2 home.

If other team already have 2 or 3 guys on your home and it’s just you at far, don’t go for lord. Odds are they’re already grouping up for a lord rush and you hitting the door is like disturbing fire ants; they’re just going to want to rush quicker.

For a potential lord rush when you’re scattered, take care of the 2 or more people at your home and literally zerg yourself from home, to far or even their center gate. But this way you’ll at least take care of a lord rush against you when both parties are close to 350 points.

tl;dr
Don’t rush lord when your team is scattered. It’s best to fall back to your home to guarantee you’ll win/prevent that home decap and a potential lord rush against you. In the end, it’s map awareness and knowing where your metaphorical fire ants are on the map.

aaah i see !

thanks Chaith, BeepBoopBop, Saiyan !!!

yeah, in my last loss on the foefire map, our team kinda spread out, and yeah the other team practically camped our home the whole game, scores were kinda even from start till 100ish 200ish 300ish though but they went for our lord and its over.

i guess this means home is kinda very important in foefire map ?
