The Rumour Mill

[Ryder]

What about 73 vs 46?

Havoc and Pulse are the main WW contenders, that's been clear for a long time (sorry Atlas guys) Havoc and Pulse are always going to have to fight each other. To do this cleanly Havoc made sure Atlas were no longer a threat to them and from what we see I think that is accomplished.
Pulse should of finished Natars of so when the time came they were clean to fight back. Instead they now still have Natars popping up every so often with havoc wading on in with their size 12s.

There's noone else to blame. And until you see Havoc, Atlas or Natar timing attacks on same locations, it's not "all alliances vs Pulse" It's Havoc taking out their WW competition and Natars continuing with their server targets as they have done all server. Congrats on still hitting Atlas players though, the smallest threat to your WW chances.

Are you high?

Yup indeed

[MOD Bloated Fish]

Disappointing. It ceases to be much fun once it's "all alliances vs Pulse".

It's clearly not all alliances verses you. Havoc have barely given you any attention, aside from the goats lot. Again, this was your tactic. And have Atlas (not the TDE lot) ever attacked you? They are clearly embroiled in a fight between each other that could squander the advantage we have given them both.

Your alliance was attacking TDE and Goats, when it decided to start attacking us first, at arte times. Opening three fronts was your alliance's choice. There was a lot of pride too, after the first few hits, when we defended the wrong villages.

Anyway, nice to see fluffy utilising his new found freedom now. A good positive report from Pulse is nice to see after all of that bad luck.

[Presuming Ed]

Oh it's not about crying and going home... I am not going anywhere. But it's a bit pfft for people to go on about "being good sports" and "having fun" but it's all lip service because they're actually busy making the game virtually one-sided on the sly. I can guarantee, doesn't matter what kind of rumours there are about how good we allegedly are supposed to be, we're not going to defeat a meta of everyone else on the server.

Next time you're watching a great football match think about whether it'd still be a good game if it were 33 players vs 11.

I guess, when it hits the fan and things don't go as you'd expect, it's easy to blame everyone else claiming the whole worlds against you. Truth is though, it's one single wing alliance that is responsible for zeroing and chiefing your WW.

We've not co-orded any offensives against you with any other alliance this server and the latest one was no different. To point at sharing a couple of reports with other alliance and call it a meta is laughable! How many of us have looked at the top 10 and asked the players involved for reports? Does that mean that we are all working together?

Pulse took a beating and were outplayed by a well put together Op, get over it! I hope everyone on in Pulse aren't quite as defeatist as you are, I for one am looking forward to their response!

I did comtempt quitting for the first hour or so after I woke up & found the little apricot caught me but thought sod it, might aswell start smacking people & not be at all bothered about losing it, well that and the vast amounts of gold I've used on the server.

Other than some of the Natar armies I don't think anyone else has a WWK equivalent escort as a now smashy army.

My response, just for you: I really can't be bothered with this chain of thought anymore, the banter ceases to be fun once jumped on.

[Presuming Ed]

My response, just for you:

By 'your response' I meant Pulse's response in retaliation for taking the WW tbh, but I can see I could have worded it better

the banter ceases to be fun once jumped on.

You got to expect a response when you accuse us of being part of a massive meta

[Catastrophe]

Now as much as I have to admit this is likely to be an accurate statement, it's a little bit of an unfair comparison given the players who built WWK sized escorts also built the siege and therefore still call their army a WWK/R

That being said you'll have more fun smashing stuff, who wants to blow it all in one hit anyway?

Depends on your game plan, I always play as a WWK so I'm used to it so this will be a little different.

Smashing people to bits is far more fun than simming a WWK

Smashing people to bits is far more fun than simming a WWK

but simming a wwk takes more skill,like feeding and keeping ques going as it gets bigger and also keeping it in one piece

[Presuming Ed]

Haha yeah I love it when people claim WWKs are so hard to train. The only real challenge is the utter boredom you face and the fighting the intense urge to actually do something! Running a good smashy account is much harder than knocking out a wwk. Constantly rebuilding and managing several hammers and keeping everything fed while you are off hitting requires a hell of a lot more skill than simming non stop.

Smashy is is so much more fun too!

[Catastrophe]

I hated trying to build a WWK, all the talk of a big op to hit the enemy and you have to sit and watch... sucks

[MOD Bloated Fish]

There are only a few routes to the very biggest WWKs and they all require a decent amount of game knowledge, strategy and execution. As well as a good leadership, that knows how to secure and balance artes and other management stuff.

But there is very little skill in terms of adaptive or creative thinking, timing, or other such variable skills. In this aspect it is more difficult and challenging for players of the same level to make as much impact playing non-wwk game.

So yeah, I'd agree that wwk building is easier. But I think those that are build WWKs lose a sense of how difficult their achievements are for others, because it seems so easy to them to follow their plan.

Rumour has it Havoc gave Pulse a good ole bashing his morning.

[Elisa]

Oh yes, rumour has it that Havoc are making me man up alright. I'm still upset over the hurt that I endured, and I feel like you're making fun of what happened. Not only am I personally offended by your mockery, I was forced to spend time on field rebuilding. This is unacceptable.

[Fluffy]

If thats what they call a bashing then any respectable offense player would be seriously offended by it.

Sooooo, what you are saying is, you are perfectly fine with it??

[Elisa]

I think he was calling me not respectable...

290k attack points vs 350k defence points.

Not overally far apart but does show you guys having the edge a bit, though rumour has it alot of hits went through finding no defence.
