Yeah, it’s half AB, half WSG, all monster.

It’s a great BG, one of my favorites because it can be so dynamic and a strat change can be as simple as leave or take the flag.

Unfortunately where the WSG flag is a hidden mystery, the EotS flag taunts people, even otherwise sensible people.

Cynwise has just put up a great guide for children’s week PvP… But is has some great info for people new to WSG as well… Like how to get in/out of bases and where the flag probably is based on map location.

Thx for the stealth info! I would never have guessed that.

I suppose the design goal of EotS was to make something similar to AB, only worse.

I can’t recommend one off the top of my head. Wowwiki might have that info though (can’t check right now).

One person can cap, but the more bodies of the same faction will give. Quicker cap.

Allied bodies – enemy bodies = number of bodies at the node effecting the speed.

You can’t cap while stealthed. The timer is only effected by unstealthed bodies. You can stealth there, but then need to unstealth.

Can you recommend a writeup on EOTS, and in particular the tower changes? I understand ABasin. I never PvPed outside a BG so “similar to plaguelands” is not much help. In particular, can one stealth person take a tower? how long?

Should you just send one person to the tower while the rest got to FR? Or would more people at MT help convert faster? The more I type it, the sillier the EoTS mechanics seem.

The cat has been doing both AoE and dots… Best not to go there…

lol yeah. Last night in AV

“Need more at north gys!”

Guys at Drek

“WTF! we need people at Drek, they are all in on Van. What the he’ll are you doing there?”

Bloodlust has been messy lately. 2 days ago I had 4 SotAs where we were ground into the beach, followed by one where the Horde barely bothered to get off the ship & one of our demos made it all the way from beach to relic unopposed. I think it was a charity game.

Mind you I have been reading lately that Bloodlust has the toughest Arena group… So I guess people in our BGs might fight harder as well

The axiom in our guild is that 5 people on vent can completely win a battleground.

It’s mostly true, too. Having a coordinated group to lead the charge (both due to the fish theory and just a good squad working together) usually results in better communication throughout the entire bg team.

sick? yuck, sorry to hear it. it sounds like it was a DoT illness, or maybe an AoE, haha — couldn’t you port your healer in? : )

“- Don’t: mass up at the one node and fight 10 to 15.
- Do form up in groups of 3-4 and attack each node. There are enough to harry the bulk of the horde, and enough to take and hold the undefended, or under-defended nodes. ”

This. A thousand times over. The number of times I’ve seen 10 people on each side fighting for DR and CALLING FOR MORE HELP is staggering. Excuse me while I go attack FRR (… and inevitably get killed by the lone lock defending it).

Sidenote: anyone else finding that the other team always has at least one really good warlock? Bane of my existence. Just give me your cookie.

Siderant: Bloodlust has been at (by far) its worst for Alliance since… well a long while. I don’t know how it is in your timezone, but I’m at the point where I don’t even bother going for my daily random anymore. I think my win:loss ratio for the past week has been 7:50.

I’m trying to learn to not let it drive me nuts when folks go immediately to middle flag in EOS before we have bases.
Leaving bases undefended makes me a tad mental and I’ll often end up defending which is frustrating as a healer but at least I can usually last a bit before help comes if I get attacked.

I almost always make suggestions for strategy at the beginning of a bg. As a healer I mention a strategy and which base I’ll be heading to and suggest if here is another healer to go to BE or Mines etc. Sometimes this has been successful. I usually keep the communication up by saying LM is good or LM is good I’m healing at Farm. Sometimes this communication opens up for others to do the same. Sometimes they just find me annoying hehehe.

In WSG I’ve oftened helped get our flag carrier to our base with the horde flag only to have no offense going for our flag. They choose to fight in the middle because traveling as a pack to get our flag back is way too dangerous and they might actually die… IN A GAME

Grrr sorry now I’m ranting hehehe..I’ll stop
