The first battle I was in we did well enough I think, we fought right to the end and it was pretty close. Usually I like to see at least 3 towers held and less flag running but in that battle we held 2 towers and ran the flag. That is where we failed, we captured the flag less times than the Horde did. That is why 2 towers and running the flag is riskier than just holding 3 towers and forgetting about the flag.
In the second battle we did it right, we took and held DR, MT and FRR then kept the Horde busy defending BET. We held those 3 for over half the battle and ran the flag a few times. Then we lost DR and got it back. Then we lost MT and never got it back but we were far enough ahead at that point that it didn't matter. We just ran the flag a few more times and won it. We ended up winning by over 700 points. They lowered the number of points to win by 400, down to 1600 now. I guess people were complaining about how long the battles were. I liked it better when it was 2,000 points and AV didn't have reinforcements but I guess people just want to get their mark(s) and move on.
I don't think we did bad in the first 2 battles, not like yesterday, we just didn't have what it took to win. I guess we were outclassed. At least we started off fairly even in numbers. We got through the yellow gate to the courtyard in both our losses but couldn't get to the Titan Portal before the timer ran out.
In the win we made it to, and through, the gate the Titan Portal is behind and captured it. We did it with quite a bit of time left on the timer too so you knew it was a win. When it is not even close you know you are either going to win, if you captured it, or lose if you didn't. When it was the Hordes turn they didn't even make it through the yellow gate before the timer ran out. I got some Artillery Master achievement on Gomorra today in one of the battles for manning a gun emplacement and doing a certain amount of damage.
Today I can't blame it all on inexperience, although there was that, the major problem today was starting off every battle severely unbalanced. We had some battles that started off 10x40. That means we were outnumbered 4 to 1. The closest start we had in any of the battles was 34x40. Out of 25 battles we did not start a single one 40x40. It is a wonder we won any at all. Blizzard needs to get off their ass and do something about this because it is just not working. If this is the best they can do, it is just another in a long list of epic fails for them.
Needless to say, if you are outnumbered 4 to 1, instead of getting ganked by 4 Horde you are now getting ganked by 6-8 Horde. The Horde are in their glory, they can actually win a battle with those odds. Most of the battles ended in a Horde win without us ever hitting 40 players on our side. It doesn't say much for the Horde when we start outnumbered by 15 players and win does it? That happened in one battle. Every battle we won we started off outnumbered and we still overcame the Horde. It doesn't say much for the Horde either to win a battle when you outnumber the opponent by 4 to 1.
