The Battle for Eye of the Storm - Daily Battleground 11/29/09
The Alliance was having a really bad day in Eye of the Storm today. It was some of the worst play I have seen bar none. I will say on occasion that it is some of the worst play I have seen in awhile, but this was just sickening. It took me 5 battles to get the daily done on Wranngar, 4 losses and 1 win. We will lose in EoS but usually we are able to put up a fight. Not today. It was like all the people in there just picked up their toon off eBay that morning.
I have prepared a little list of 5 ways to lose at EoS, they were all put into play today. Repeatedly. If you want to lose in EoS just follow this list, it is tried and proven.
1. Be a Flagtard. Focus on the flag and block everything else out. Just keep your eyes on the flag and don't notice any calls of incoming, don't notice if we have any towers or not, just keep your eyes on that flag.
2. Fight in the roads. This accomplishes nothing. You are not clocking the tower over while you are fighting in the road. Don't listen when someone says "stop fighting on the road, get up to the tower". Make sure you let the Horde come right up to your tower before you engage them though.
3. Leave your nodes unguarded. One single Horde probably won't come and clock it over while it is unguarded anyway. It should be safe...
4. Don't call incoming until you are dead, in the graveyard, and the flag has already burned. Someone will probably notice you are getting ganked by 5 Horde, assuming they are not focused on the flag. You can't type when you're stunned anyway...
5. Ignore calls of incoming. The one squishy you left to guard the node can probably handle it, they are just overreacting. The Horde usually only attack in ones anyway...
In the 3rd battle I came into, which was already in progress and almost over, none of the first 4 lasted long, we had the flag! WhooHoo! The major problem was, we didn't have any towers, the Horde had a 4 cap. The Flagtard with the flag was way up by the Horde rock, the Horde starting point. They were rezzing on the rock AND RUNNING RIGHT BACK TO THE FLAG TO TRY AND GET IT AGAIN!!! WITH NO TOWERS!!! These were the kind of idiots I was dealing with in the first 4 battles. A Flagtard is a scary thing.
Finally, in the 5th battle, I got in with a good group and we had a 3 cap the whole time with some flag running. The Horde weren't all that good in the first 4 battles but the Alliance was worse. In this battle we were all over them. We kept them pinned down defending their one tower with very little trouble holding our 3 towers. I finally got my daily done and turned it in for 19g86s and 1241 bonus honor. EoS used to be one of my favorite battlegrounds but with play like this I don't know anymore.
