I dont think numbers at the start have been the issues - its more numbers in the middle and end.

In the beginning of today's LOTD it was pretty close in overall points and order had the lead, but the further LOTD progressed, the more Destro took off in terms of point lead.

The blob mentality on Order was still very apparent and our Warband could backcap points on order side uncontested a lot of the time.

Still, the best LOTD in terms of actual fights in a long time, looking forward to future ones.

Actually after initial progress of order, destro seemingly started to outnumber us 2 to 1 all the time (not saying it was so, just an impression). Blobbing happened only because whenever order splitted, we had to face 2 wbs at once most of the time wherever we went. But I agree, that fights were nice.

Joined lotd on order to check how it looks and I can confirm all the blob facts already stated. Destro controlling all but 3 objectives? Regroup. Order sitting on middle while losing all the southern objectives? Don't split. Order having advantage after winning a mid engagement? Group up and move forward to the locked objective. Nothing happens? People calling to not split in chat. Fully regrouped on mid bo and with a choice to either push the temple or reclaim library? A minute of not moving due to what I'm assuming is a blobware error caused by too many options. It's absolutely fantastic to watch from the insider pov and I recommend everyone to try it even if it means you have to level a toon to rank 40. I don't recommend doing it more than once however, the effects on mental health have not yet been tested.
Also well done destro for winning this, but order deserved to be farmed much harder and I am a bit disappointed in all the groups I won't name here that it didn't happen.

All it takes is a couple dedicated 6 to 12 man groups to take outer BOs. Run from larger groups, hunt stragglers and engage even or less numbers. Disrupt the back line supplies. Why Order refuses to do this I don't know.

P.S. I may be done with Destro for a while and fully plan on taking my baby IB into LotD next time I get the chance and will lead a small man to show you all how it's done.
