I think often it is disheartened "veterans" needing a voice in the darkness, because they have lost their voice through futility.<BR/><BR/>I often find even "Who was in that last winning < insert BG here >. Let's do it again" lifts a completely new group to try harderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917987776399116727.post-77231689293879309022008-09-10T04:44:00.000+09:302008-09-10T04:44:00.000+09:30sucess in the node based BG's are definitely tied ...sucess in the node based BG's are definitely tied to mobility and communication as Jezrael has so aptly put. being able to react quickly to "incs" or incoming enemy players is important to your team reacting, and more importantly, reacting with appropriate force. there is no sense in calling out an inc if its one orc shaman zerging node guarded by two MS warriors and a resto druid.<BR/>90% of your victories are going to be derived from controling (more) nodes longer than your opponents can control theirs, not 5 capping. To do this your team must be able to weather the storm of zerg's by getting help from other nodes to protect the node from going down. if you are guarding a node with one other person and 4 of the opposing side ride over the horizon to try to take it from you, using the BG chat to let other members of the team know you need help is extremely useful. This may seem obvious to some but honeslty in todays Pug's ive seen some AMAZING stupidity. I think the advice Jez gives is great and If no one is talking in the BG dont be afraid to speak up and give some orders/advice. there will always be people that wont listen but for those who want to win or for those who are BG rookies and still havent figured them out yet, it might just make the difference between one badge and three.Chromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499871437530558993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917987776399116727.post-49463349799410811912008-09-10T00:18:00.000+09:302008-09-10T00:18:00.000+09:30I am mixed on my opinions of PvP.

It probably helps that Alliance wins more than half the time, so you feel you're achieving something.<BR/><BR/>Your post gives me hope, but leaves me lost. I think that leadership IS key to winning BGs. I honestly have no idea what I am doing in AB, WSG or EotS, but I need marks, so I do em anyway. No one seems to do anything coordinated, so I end up just running amok, killing what I can. <BR/><BR/>So... can you suggest a place to learn these strategies? Where I can understand what "call incs early" means? <BR/><BR/>Cheers...Webmosherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15956875201363405703noreply@blogger.com
