    GG dudes, was lots of fun, I dont have anything against you, but I lost all respect for barba when we lost he said "NOOBS", no, not gg, not good fight...but still, we zerged with 5 mins left knowing that theres 4 catas in base, so see you nextweek, but dont be expecting to take anything from us, attacking is harder then defending ;)

    I came in on the last hour on the streaming vid on Xfire.

    It was interesting to watch, though, if possible, on the next TW it would be cool if someone left defending *each* base was running a stream, so we could keep a better eye on the crystal activity. Though I don't know if xfire would let us watch two vids simultaneously or not.

    Was anyone able to rip a recording from the stream?

    From the perspective we were limited to (TryHitMe of Crimson), and with me coming in on the last hour of the TW, it looked like Crimson was holding the advantage from at least that point on. I don't know when they gained it but they had a nice, solid push going against QQme's base. While QQme got catapults through to Crimson's base (and even crystal) a few times that I saw, I'm guessing the bigger presence of Crimson at QQme's doors was what proved to be too much.

    Serious props to the catapullers who made it through that melee and all the way to Crimson's base though ^x^ It was tougher odds, from what I could see.

    I just wish we'd had a view of the QQme base more often, it was mostly midfield.

    There was bad blood the whole week between the guilds.. Kind of like an MMA or boxing match. No worries. In Crimson chat we weren't dissing QQme we were just saying we were glad we finally got a decent match.

    Good game all. Was very fun. I cannot imagine this happening every week because I am sure our guilds will want to expand rather than fight each other every week.

    the only screeny i managed to get before the war ended, no different to when there was 4 mins left anyway lol

    all i can see is, you guys just ate ur words up, being so confident that u wud beat us without doughts, trash talking you're way around threads and look what happened, you lost, are crystal about 99%, ur crystal 0%, GG.

    and also for a funny quote i just had to dig up...
    actually the difference is they each get a land as you lose a land jajaja

    whats that iffy? i still see the land under Crimson, not QQmoar b:chuckle

    Both guilds need more TW experience imo. There was a big lack of strategy going on, but that's normal for a first real war between two guilds. Especially when neither has had an 80vs80 war in this server.

    I don't think Crimson would have won an attacking war vs QQme; both guilds have things to work on before either is going to take a land from the other. Still a good show, would have had a better view from a defense team member rather than a scout though. Hope to see some nice videos later.

    I think each guild needs a designated streamer.

    Because that was awesome to watch. Set it up, and stream it like a sporting event. :D I'm downloading Xfire just for this.

    As time goes on, hopefully more TWs will be like this. And better.

    What's the record for *longest* TW on this server, where the crystal was broken for victory, and did this one make the cut, coming in at 4 minutes left?

    Yeah that's the record. The last one was Sin breaking Heavenly's crystal with 12 to go.

    What good damn TW b:pleased it went till the last minute. I knew it was going to be very though holding QQme 3 hours. I almost believed we could not win, cause of the lvl difference and QQme core has a good PvP experience.
    Things went for the better to our side, but still was a very very tight fight.

    Anyway gg both. Love it.b:bye

    I can't believe it went for that long XD I'd gotten used to the 12-30 minute TW alerts flashing over the screen. And here I actually watched one for over an hour... hard to fathom that y'all were at it for so long. Good matchup ^x^

    I still have loltank around to help people who need bosses and FBs, but for the most part, yeah, I've re-rolled. I've always played mage, since LC, so I'm just more comfortable with it.

    EDIT: Also, mages are rarer, so once i get some more levels, I'll be more useful.

    That, and it's wicked fun, even with the added difficulty of playing. Or is it because of it...

    And yeah, scarce class. That's part of the appeal for me ^x^ My first char was Veno but she's my change-of-pace Alt now. Full caster's just too much fun <3

    And now, back to your regularly scheduled topic....!

    Not much to be said. We had Crimson people on the vent listening to what we do during the war...at some point when they figured they couln't take our crystal even if they were 1 step ahead they had people log on the vent and start very loud music.

    Basically every strategy we came up with, they knew about before we put it in motion.

    Proof of this would be that one of our archers grabbed a cata and didn't say anything on vent or in chat and he got in their base alone and DD their crystal.

    And yeah, spies are a big part of any war. XD

    Perhaps a private gameplan is in order for next time?

    Also, lol at the archer cata-pulling. Truly an epic maneuver.

    I just wish we'd had a view of the QQme base more often, it was mostly midfield.

    Pretty much a summary of what happened. Good thing it is said from someone
    outside QQme or it's be insta flame. b:laugh

    QQme crystals highlights i can give you a few summary:
    We were using mercenaries' public vent for TW. Most ppl got dced constantly including me.
    At around 1 hour in, QQme was pushing lane C. i saw 3 crimson catas at lane A besides their towers (The opposite side. Some ppl think crimson had some informant about which lane QQme was attacking so they could push catas on another line full time) Since i was one of the ones that got kicked out of vent i just typed in on party chat. 15 Minutes laterz all same 3 catas had taken down the Front towers of lane A, 1 or 2 towers inside, and managed to get crystal down to 50%.
    After that for some reason ppl played like a defensive TW for quite a while while crystal got up to 100% again. Crimson could only touch crystal again for too little time. Gotta give it to crimson's air teams. Outphoenixing any other guild gives you an edge and lots of positioning control vs unorganized mobs. I think this was what decided everything. They controlled air most of the time. Not gonna go into details.
    The other highlight was towards the end of the TW when ppl started to try and zerg even at thew cost of not defending which is why crimson just ran catas to base and broke crystals with like 4~3 minutes remaining.

    As for me i got bored since no vent so after ~2+ hours i just went to watch the stream and spot TryHitMe, and 1shot him just for the viewers' entertainment.

    P.S: Damn stream more TWs that was nice. I had lots of fun b:cute

    Lol spies and sabotage. Arguably some of the more unfair but totally legitimate tactics in a war. That loud music trick sounds like a dirty, but effective, tactic XD

    Would that archer-pault be the one that got in towards the end of the TW? 'cause suddenly there was a beautiful level of activity surrounding Crimson's crystal XD

    Guys, we should stream more TWs like these. This is history in the making b:pleased

    Did somebody made an official recording somewhere?
