Guild Wars 2

Why is the red keep on WvW EotM (Edge of the Mists) so much harder to cap compared to the others? So much so, that on a team that is trying to recap it, and is outnumbered, it is practically imposable to do so without being counter attacked in the intrim.

Probably because the ‘Red’ servers are technically supposed to be the weaker of the three colours. This is also reflective of the Overlook keep in EB. Definitely the hardest of the three keeps to siege.

It’s not much harder or maybe even about the same difficulty if you pull the silvers away from the champion. If you get them spread out, they die faster. Most players still don’t have the hang of how to capture red keep and do so with a bad strategy.

If that was the case, then why is green the easiest to defend?

Number one server, in a perfect world… would be getting attacked by both of the weaker sides in attempt to take them down?

Needs a stronger defensive footing to last against two opposing forces.

Both Green and Blue keeps in EB are way easier to defend than the Red one. The red keep has so many flaws (included the lord insta dying if you siege it from the back) that when there is a zerg in inner it is simply impossible to hold it.
