Battle Plan~

Only Level 55+ should form groups of 4, and attack or defend a tower.
Attack groups, need to group up near the minotaur spawns(far north, or far south), before going towards a tower. This will prevent others from accidentally joining your battle, as well as you getting dragged into theirs.
All others are to charge and aim at their main tower, on the other side of the battlefield.
Even if you don't make it that far, you will still slow down some of the ones that are trying to move forward.

Failure to read these instructions, may have you forcibly removed from the GB.

On a side note, for those who doesn't want to lose hp storage, don't join for Fri or Sat's GBs.

Seems easy enough.
I'd like to add that sometimes stuff can change during the battle. It's important to listen and follow instruction to the best of your ability.

It's a good thing to have a clear guildbattle strat. Thanks Dohi coz' during battles it's difficult to follow 15 differents raid leaders ^^ But not sure everyone will read that, we have only 22 members on the forum (when I'm writing that).

I tried to figure out what i've understood, maybe it's wrong..

**I will start off by saying that while we are not a "Hardcore" guild the point of this "guide" is to allow us the best possible chance to win for purposes of rewards, rank and pride. If you are not interested in any of these things it will not be thought less of you if you opt out, however, we will not tolerate anyone attempting to ruin the event for those that do care. ***

When: 20:00 Server time every Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat
Requirements: Lvl 35+
Rewards: Honor, insignia's, soul crystals and training whips (explained in detail below)

Rules:
While in the GB (Guild Battle) you will use party chat
You will keep chatter to a minimum about key points of the battle
You will not enter the enemies spawn area (This area is identical to where you start but on the other side of the map) go no further then the enemy ward tower or you will be banned from GB for 7 days.
You will listen to the current commanding officer of the GB or you will be removed from the battle.
You will not afk/idle once inside the GB or you will be removed from the battle.

Intro:
The top 16 guilds on the server are paired up in 1 vs 1's over the course of 4 battles to determine the strongest guilds. The battles are held on a map extremely similar to battle grounds - A spawn area on the east/west parts of the map with a "ward tower" several feet from there. A path splits into north/south connecting the two spawns and along those paths are 4 "mystery" towers. The towers are defined by position on the map regarding to the standard compass. The tower to the top/left is "North West, top/rght is "North East", bottom/left is "South West" and bottom right is "South East".

At 19:30 the list is cleared and any online persons will be added onto the list. This is done from top down with 35+ taking priority especially on Fri/Sat as they are the harder won battles. Asking to be added onto the list before this time is pointless and will be ignored. After the GB event "starts" there is a 5 minute window to enter before the battle starts. If you are on the list and do not enter the event area you will be presumed idle/afk and removed from that list to allow active people to participant.


Battle plan:
We will attempt to split the participants into 50/50, regardless of level, and each half will proceed to one of the North/South paths. Once there all 55+ will enter guard mode by clicking the tower - DO NOT LEAVE THE BLUE AREA. You will not go on the offensive unless directly told to do so. During the battle we will assign two "attack teams" (of 4 per) of our strongest members that will assault the enemy attack towers and holding them for as long as possible.


Key Points:
Guarding - If YOU initiate a battle or join one in progress while "Defending" you will be removed as a "guard" so only do this if absolutely needed to assist another guild member(s).

Reinforce - If you die while guarding a tower proceed back to the tower you were guarding unless told otherwise.

Are of Effect - As battles begin you will likely only see 1 enemy and if you use an area attack - even if other enemies join - it will only hit the ones there when you first selected your ability.

Conserve rage - if you find you are easily winning a battle or have clearly lost one save your rage for the next battle.

Enemy ward tower - If you get to the enemy ward tower do not attack it. It will 1 hit kill your troops and then you, meaning in 3 hits you will die this is numerous times stronger then a world boss.

Victory conditions:
The battle is won by having 4k points more then the enemy or killing the enemy ward tower (Done primarily via "War chariots", a very costly skill). Every 20 minutes (to a max of 4 times) the reward is reduced for the winner and raised for the loser - so the more even a battle is the more even the rewards are. Both guilds will receive Soul Crystals and the winners will also get 10 mount training whips. The honor/insignia at max for winners are 950 and min of 450 for the losers.


Questions:
All questions regarding GB are to be asked before or after the guild battle NOT during it.

oh? I see Nyf took the time to make a good write up of the things to do and not to do.

To add... any lower than 55, are to defend the main base tower from attacks, and war chariots.

I know you can't kill war chariots but it can be delayed, the longer we delay it, the more rewards we get, especially VS ascension. But it would also prevent other teams from getting more points off us, and delaying the battle (for other guilds).

I'm the only one who think if we don't have a better rigour in Guild Battle than tonite.. in 2 weeks we'll lose against Devourer ? Just to know..

Tonight was very unorganized on our part.
