Inevitable City!
Woo hoo! Good job Order! We took two fortresses within hours of each other, and it was a great effort. Both attempts went very smoothly. And we know what that means: We were able to siege the Inevitable City!
I admit I knew nothing about city sieges. Absolutely nothing. So when my warband zoned in, we had no clue what was going on, but I saw two nodes on the map that we were supposed to take. Off we went to secure those areas.
Word to the wise: when you first zone into IC, the warband leader has a choice of instances to pick through. For your sanity, please coordinate with another warband that knows WTF it’s doing and pick the same instance! That would have saved us a TON of heartache last night.
While my warband tried, we could not overcome the suckiness of the other warband, which was full of level 30-36 players.
(Side note: MYTHIC why do you allow anyone who is not capable of wearing the upper tier gear to siege the city? Those guards obliterated the Order who did not have the right equipment. Either fix the guards or up the level requirement, please!)
The warband leader, who shall remain nameless on this blog, refused to communicate to my warband, refused to recruit more players to his/her warband and did not talk with people who were in his/her warband (I know this because people from that warband came to vent because they were frustrated they were getting no answers from their leader). He put me on ignore when I asked a few pointed questions, such as “why do you only have a group and a half in your warband” and “could you please coordinate with my other warband leader so we can win a scenario?”
I also made other enemies that day. Another player, who shall remain nameless, was not happy with the macros that I make that informs my warband members to either log into vent or risk being kicked from the warband. He promptly told me what a jerk I was, left the warband and continued bashing me in region chat. I was not able to read the fallout because I was busy leading and healing, but I am assured my reputation was upheld.
I got a love letter after I was done with the Inevitable City raid:
Unfortunately I could not respond to this missive because my beau had put me on ignore. But if you’re watching, read my rules for running warbands, posted on the WarhammerAlliance.com forums.
In all, it was a really fun day. I have to praise Mythic for putting out an awesome patch. You put the WAR back in Warhammer!
