Battle

It's AV weekend and for the first time in a long time I have been involved in a couple of games that have turned into epic battles. Just fantastic!! So enjoyable just to battle it out; honing your class skills against the horde. Hahahahaha. We won the first one and lost the second. Neither boss was killed, it was just a battle of attrition. You cannot value highly enough having a good healer in those battles, so many times I was pulled from the brink of death by timely and generous heals.

It was so nice not having to worry about game strategy; it had all gone to pack when a large part of the team decided to take out Galv first. Groan. It's ok to take out Galv but it has to be timed right. The best timing is after IBT and/or TP have gone down. The Towers are the most important things to take out. It only takes 10 people to take down Galv, sooo ... theoretically ... following the plan .... IBT should have been taken by 10 people, and when it goes down ... work it out.

Anyway I digress into strategy. Any game is a lot of ifs and buts, all you have to do is have sufficient numbers following the plan for it to work. It also requires the Horde to NOT defend, or be slower in the attack. So with the first wonderful epic battle, guess what, the Horde defended. Totally, no attack. Woot. It was just fantastic seeing those snowy fields with close to 80 combatants all in one place. Nothing to worry about but killing and not being killed. This sort of thing certainly stretches the internet connection. In particular a Hunter with Track Humanoids on. I use Mobile broadband and the connection can fluctuate so I was disconnected twice. Oh man, I so did not want to lose those Honour points. Anyway what am I doing here talking to you dear Reader? Cya, off to some snowy fields :)
