One Last Report
I admit, I gave up pretty easily with my update post. It is incredibly disheartening to see the gap close by over 10k point in a single night (~8 hours); expecting it to happen each night from then on… that’s just unrecoverable.
However, I do find it fun to take everything back, and take jabs at Stonemist.
Every morning since Monday, I’ve logged on to see our entire third of the map taken and we are outmanned. Troops are assembled within the hour, and we begin slowly take back our land and push HoD out. In the worst cases, I have personally made rounds to Lowlands and Stonemist to disable their waypoint to delay further reinforcement; I successfully did this for about 1.5 hours straight. As the morning went on, we slowly kept gaining troops to defend and attack and what used to be a back and forth in SBI lands was soon a “hey HoD, get out and stay out!”
Generally, this would occur into late afternoon when we would start to get commanders online to lead forces into gaining more territory than our starter third. Then, on Thursday night, SBI forces led by Before the Storm successfully took Stonemist. This was more or less a brute force attack, and while I don’t exactly support the strategy they used… the Before the Storm tactics were excellent: the best I’ve seen of SBI (and perhaps HoD!) thus far. Ultimately, it resulted in Stonemist, so I can’t complain!
Yeah, I’ve been out of the loop with WvW since around Monday/Tuesday. But this weekend its on again. See you on the battle field tonight Henge of Denravi and [probably] Jade Quarry!
