Guild Wars 2

I faced a full 5 man premade consisting of well known players such as countless, kitten, genyen, ender and some other guy.

Luckily I also had some competent players like Quilja and Morfeus.

Basically what happened was the other team zerged around together trying to pick us off and get points for kills. The objective of killing the lord was gone.

We caught on to what they were doing and it became a courtyard match, but we did manage to pull off capping the hero’s and winning the match, but it was undoubtedly a good tactic that they used.

I don’t want to play courtyard anet come on guys.

How do we make stronghold less like courtyard?

So, you faced well-known good players in a premade, while in your words you were playing solo, and manage to win by using map mechanics?
This is so wrong dude!..
You should’ve lost because you can’t win against good guys farming your head.

Or wait, did you just boast?

No I’m just trying to prove that stronghold has the potential to turn into courtyard if you’re against competent players. But if that’s how you want to take it then ya I’m the best player NA.

It can’t turn into courtyard as long as any player doesn’t want to be farmed. Because there are plenty of objectives on a map.
If you’re farmed at one point, get to treb, get supplies, go offensive. It will force splits. And as long as you are 5v5 any member of your team can do this.

So, in general, how on earth stronghold with a target of finishing lord can turn into deathmatch Courtyard?
Not taking into consideration the situation when players are just bad.

Stronghold tutorial would be nice, but not like the kitten one we have for conquest.

I didn’t even play the map mechanics. I was on my guard and the only thing i did was hang out at the supply and fight anyone who came near it. We destroyed them as they couldn’t get enough supply. I really liked the courtyard feel. PvE needs to get out of pvp. Courtyard is the best map in pvp, as it is the only true pvp in the game.
