CNTK open WB events

You certainly rallied, was great to see. i love the days like that. NEVER surrender a zone

[Rowanmantle]

100 + AAO when we started... you guys was already bunkered and taking our keep so no point in going there as we was still setting up... had to rally our troops and had to hit the ground running working with our pugs to prevent the zone from flipping and order pugs logging off making less fights/kills/fun for all

There was so many fights, and not just for us... was nice to see in T4 as it's been awhile that i've seen it so active, our 3fg couldn't really handle 3 wb's early on... but with some fillers and full warband we could give 3wb's a semi decent fight if we started well

A few destro complained "why don't you just give them the zone" my reply was "lol"
Needed to see it could be done I think that's our fourth or fifth zone reset capture now... another reason for us to be flamed, threatened, disliked by people with less class than CNTK

We was decent setup, not best or worse... just tried to make most of what we had available.

Some fights we was on point, others a little sloppy but you guys tested us the most as always

Roof fight in keep, wasn't ideal setup for that, it didn't help that some people was downstairs fighting while I wanted to push the top... so had to make some adjustments and re focus on second attempt, also our pugs was very terrible first time with lose lord agro = lol. Second time they stepped up their game.

I just wish you recorded/included the lord of the rings two towers ambush at graveyard when you came riding down that hill without sunlight blinding us and we slammed into each other

Good fights as always though, nice to see from other perspectives ... (the real reason im watching is to see rowan die again on days when we are not raiding but don't tell him ^^)

I liked your armoury fight seemed to last awhile

So cheeky! In the vid you can even See gromer and Akilinus chopping away at me. Good fights. Always is.

First of all, Veremara has to fix his UI A third of his party is covered by the vanilla player icons, I have no idea how he can see anything hah.

Now for the rest. You had a good composition throughout the vid, 4 bws and 3 slayers is very nice. But your dmg was still lackluster. There were 3 healers in one party and 3 dps in another one for some reason. Idk what's the idea behind that, but it makes no sense to me. One healer can't possibly keep a slayer and 2 bws alive.

And again, you really have to use your morales more.

Some comments on the fights:

At 6:00 you died because you were completely spread out when you bullrushed the blob. Now I know you will say it was just yolo or whatever, but I don't like banzai charges with no purpose. You could still fight even if greatly outnumbered, and get some good kills.

At 6:53, the only tank in party 3 died and was dead for over 10 seconds, even though 2 healers in his party were alive. And whoever ressed the third healer before the only tank in the party, you have to think about your res strategy. Party 4 was also under a lot of pressure since they only had one healer. Another thing in this fight, is that you completely ignored your backline while pushing. You simply can't do that. There was an entire party hitting your backline. Had you turned to save them you probably would've won this fight.

At 9:40, rifting into a chokepoint can be dangerous if you can't deal enough damage to melt the rift spot. I would recommend to get at least one SM into your warband so he can punt when the enemy drops morales. It's one of the most crucial parts of the warband tbh, as it also gives you time to push or fall back.

At 11:10, it was a good fight, no major points to make. But one thing you should keep in mind, while you're pushing just ignore the tanks. Snare/kd them and push. Always leave the tanks for last as they pose no real threat after the dps are dead.

At the 13:00 min fight you didn't even use morales, and I have no idea why. In fact, I didn't see anyone using morales. Maybe I'm wrong but I didn't see a single raze. Destro popped morales TWICE. Why didn't you stay in the front to build morale? Your mates needed the damage in the front as well, so staying back only puts more pressure on them over time as more destro comes in. With a good morale dump you could've easily pushed down the stairs, then go back up to clear your backline fast.

At 14:35, you made an almost grave mistake by going solo like that. You were needed in the bomb badly, and had the enemy had more damage than your group it could cost you the fight, especially if they got reinforcements. Of course, going for shatter limbs is good, but you didn't apply it, which means you were going for solo kills. Most of you were too spread out here as well. You have to move as one and focus your damage on one spot. Spreading out like that means you will deal mostly fluff damage as there's no real concentration. Your healers have to watch the battlefield also, and move accordingly. Veremare allowed the destro to close the gap and kill him.

Don't take this criticism too harsh, as it's meant to be positive. I always say what I think and hope to help. There are things to say about TUP as well don't get me wrong

I hope to see more of you on the field, and hopefully with a nice group like this.

(also get some AMs for morale pumps, they are op )

No issue with feedback from my perspective. I always ask for comments so will not shy away or stop asking, I'm an adult, I won't break or cry and call my mommy.

Now thats done, regarding the actual feedback.Morales for the most part are called by who ever is leading. YES we/I can use them if we feel is needed or warranted. Regarding my running after kills, will never deny that I don't or haven't. If I see some squishy that I can possibly kill in a rotation, I will generally take it. Yes I get yelled at for doing this, but hey, least I quit beating on tanks like I used to,so progress I say. Regarding us just going in head strong when out numbered and just "yolo" or bonzai rush in. I say it's a game, too many people already run away, I'm tired of it. Rather rush in and die then outright avoid it. Otherwise, can't comment on UI, so it is what it is, won't comment on composition / group setup either. Otherwise thanks for watching and commenting, and I believe ur already a sub so THANKS

I didn't think you would break down and cry, I wasn't so harsh

And by banzai charges I didn't mean that you shouldn't do them at all. I am also (and our guild in general) tired of people running away, tell me about it. But that doesn't mean you should just charge head on at whatever numbers you face, at least imo. I prefer a good coordinated fight, especially that feeling you get when you beat a larger opposition, it can certainly be done The groups were good as I said, but if a little more tweaking was possible it would be almost perfect.

All in all just keep doing what you're doing, the whole lot of you, and we might see order follow in your footsteps

I dunno, I did get chocked up a bit, luckily the wife gave me a massage and I was able to relax.
