Isle of Conquest - 1/24/10

I fought in a bunch of battles today in Isle of Conquest on both Wranngar and Gomorra. We satrted off pretty good but by the end of the night things were really going downhill and I decided to call it a night. I fought in 4 battles on Gomorra, 3 wins and 1 loss. We were still doing well in there at that point. I fought in 10 battles on Wranngar, 6 wins and 4 losses.

In the earlier battles I fought in on Gomorra we were still using the 'get the Hangar and drop into the Horde keep' strat then hit the gate from the inside as well as the outside. It was working well. We would usually get either the Docks or the Workshop so we would have some kind of siege equipment to back us up. That is the strat we had been using all weekend and that is the strat that was working. It was still working when I logged over to Wranngar.

When I got onto Wranngar we were still doing well, we had 5 wins, a loss and another win. Then it was like the entire group of people who had been fighting in there all weekend and winning left. We got people in there saying the Hangar strat doesn't work, everyone to the Docks, we had one person who insisted that we attack the east gate on the Horde keep...

Let me explain why that doesn't work. For starters, if you are coming from the Docks to the Horde keep with siege equipment you have to go by the guns at the west corner, then by both the guns at the east and west corners, and finally by the guns at the east corner to get to the east gate. If your piece of siege equipment is even still running at that point you can be sure it is on it's way out. Also the people inside have to keep running past where the Horde are rezzing to bomb the east gate from the inside and they get wiped out. Here's a little advice: If someone is saying to attack the east gate, put them on ignore and encourage everyone else to do so as well.

That one was a loss and we had 2 more in a row right after that before I called it a night. The other 2 were people saying to forget the Hangar and go to the Docks. Almost the entire Horde team goes to the Docks at the start of the battle and I have never seen us get the Docks at the start, we usually take it over later in the battle. So after everyone got wiped at the Docks we had nothing except a loss. I am probably done fighting in there for awhile now as the Alliance seems to have gone right back to losing in there. The holiday's over as the saying goes.
