That was me that went through the watergate. 18 people is more than enough to defend a fully upgraded Garrison with 500+ supply. You had nobody scout the watergate, we made it to lords room then one person noticed us. You had A LOT of siege inside and just 3 people would have stopped our attack.
We were in your position 13 weeks in a row. What we did is improve. [/quote]
Did you ever beat Ebay? Again, you can stand here and talk about how much you’ve improved when playing servers with lower populations, the real test, the one that you guys can save all your bravado for is when you actually play an equal server.
Should we have scouted garrison better? Absolutely. However, that doesn’t change the fact that you had groups, each bigger than our entire force, at three seperate locations. If we’d defended the watergate, the west gate would’ve gone down. If we stopped you from placing rams, you could easily have catas or trebs up on both doors. Then what? We can’t push out to get them, not against superior numbers on two fronts.
All the while, your third group would’ve taken our last two towers.
Show me, with your incredible Ebay granted wisdom, that DR apparently didn’t get while fighting against them for weeks, how you would take your tiny, tiny force and beat attacks from multiple points by three larger forces with minimal supplies and nowhere to go in the current game system?
AC’s are not god mode. They can be beaten, they can be destroyed, and , thankfully, I haven’t seen anyone on DR cheesing the resolution bullkitten, so they still have slight restrictions.
I will reiterate, you are not winning because of your tactics or strategy. You are winning because of numbers. Accept that, and move on. It isn’t a slight, or a knock, or a condemnation. It simply is. Just please, stop claiming it’s otherwise.
Yes BP has 3x your numbers, but besides that fact, we have learned a lot from ehmry and our pugs are skilled. I understand its hard to tell when we steamroll you with double your numbers. When we have a Zerg of 50, you can bet that at least 40 of them are in teamspeak, when we have a Zerg of 80-90, we have at least 60-70 of hem in teamspeak. Teamspeak numbers is the first goal to coordination and to massive improvement in a server. Our server went from real puggy, to a very organized server in 1 month(how long we have had our ts) we are able to jump 50 people from say eternal to BP BL with 5-10 seconds before 10 golems hit a door if its spotted and said in our commander whsiper list. We can stop the Zerg on a dime and not have 80% of the Zerg run away chasing 5 people into a choke full of siege, when a door falls we can have 80% of the Zerg stay and wait for a port to pass the 15AC’s that DR places and not get slaughtered on the gate (don’t matter if ur 4:1, superior ac’s hurt hah)
I am not bragging, I am just explaining a little more in depth what the forum trolls can’t (they are not a representation of our server, were all quite polite and stuff, we actually don’t even have any major trolls anymore the last one went to ehmry)
Strategy can not and will not matter in the face of vastly superior numbers. You guys can talk out your kitten all you want about “how much you learned” and “how losing has taught you balh blah blah blah”. It’s all a bunch of bullkitten.
When you can field three groups of 20+ on a single map and we can only field one we will lose. That’s all there is to it. You can attack 3 places at once, and we can not defend them. We will have our supply whittled away because splitting our meager numbers is short term disaster, while keeping them together is a long term disaster, and the second, ugly, option is better.
Someone already pointed out the fight at DR garrison as an example. You guys ran a force through our west wall, which we engaged, had another full force at the NW tower, and ran a third through the water gate. We had maybe 18 defenders total.
Don’t get me wrong, I actually enjoyed the fights (Especially spawn rushing the trebuchet for some reason), but please don’t come here trying to soothe your ego. You aren’t the good guys who’ve struggled against the oppressive yoke and can now break free and showcase your incredible talent and creativity. It’s like the Washington Generals playing against highschool teams and bragging that they won because of what they learned from the Globetrotters. It didn’t hurt, but that’s hardly the real reason.
A bad solution to an obnoxious problem.
I have no real suggestion, just that it’s super lame to log off at 1 am server time, and wake up in the morning and find that (a our keeps have no wps, if we have any at all b) we’re down another 10-15k points.
Being on a small pop server sucks enough at times without even adding in all the oceanic people running up the score at night.
You wasted forty days and didn’t even notice that for some reason there were 3 rings with different names, but that had exactly the same stats? That didn’t make you wonder, just a smidge?
Then, you went to all the trouble of buying an item, and didn’t think to equip it before putting your super special infusion into it? That’s like not making sure your keys work before locking yourself in a room; common sense should at least make an appearance.
Anet, or the game, didn’t burn you. You failed to do any kind of due diligence.
Maybe I’m just crazy, but if I’m gonna put 40 days worth of effort into anything, I’m kitten well going to look into it.
There’s one more thing I’d like to add about why I really dislike Orr. Catapults. Whoever decided that having high HP AoE infinite range mobs that do huge damage and knock you back all over the place was a mad man. There’s no defense except to move around, and in Orr running around just brings in more mobs.
Quite frankly, the trebuchet and catapults may be the most obnoxious mobs to ever appear in an mmo, and they’re sprinkled all over Orr. It’s like the game spitting in your face after punching you.
