Guild Wars 2

Right now it seems like the top ranked server gets the strongest position (green) and the bottom ranked team gets the weakest (red). Blue is actually kinda so-so. Like a handicap in reverse, yeah? If anyone thinks I’m wrong on the strengths of the positions let me know why that is please.

Edit: I’m referring to positions on the Eternal Battlegrounds.

I’ll take the lack of comments after 60 views and no posts as to why I’m wrong as evidence that I’m right. Kinda expected some discussion on this as every time I bring it up in EB team chat I get at least a few comments from my server. But maybe the forums are mostly useless.

Are there cases where the green server wins EB but doesn’t win the borderlands?

I hadn’t noticed a map superiority by color, myself.

Let me reword that question: Does the top ranked server usually win in Borderlands? Probably, yeah. But that really has nothing to do with what I’m talking about.

Of all the keeps, yea I would argue that greens is the most easily defensible in EB given that their one ground gate is such a tight choke point and underwater siege is unavailable. I love the idea of taking a keep from underwater and I think it’s completely awesome. But in the lower ranked servers where zergs tend to dominate it’s a lot harder to do.

In EB red is better, treb(s) on the garrison (or on Anzalias) can hit SM

Blue can place a treb in Durios

NOTE: only outer wall ofc

Ok, so maybe red has a slight edge in assaulting SM, but that doesn’t help much, because its position is the least defensible.
