In PvP which Keep, Castle, Fort...

MishMash

I am curious to know what each faction/players think is the SINGLE most important keep for their faction? It is my assumption it would be for DC Fort Glademist, EP Arrius Keep, and for AD Castle Faregyl. They help to keep our gates closed. I understand we have other keeps that help each faction, but which one is most important for each faction? I have heard many say they're the most important, and a few say otherwise.

As an AD, I think most definitely Dragonclaw.

Xbox NA AD here and I can confirm that Bruma is without a doubt the most important objective for AD. You can take our keeps, but you can't take the Morag Tong set away from our nightblades.

Also, if my tiny group of nightblades are getting antsy, we might just go take winters peak... and stay there. All day long. Sweep that outpost as many times as you want. We'll find a way to stay inside. And the second you think we're gone and leave, we've got a ram on the inner.

Or the Shadow Walker. Or the Hawk's Eye for Bowtards.

I was thinking along the lines of when it comes to keeping your scrolls safe, I would think to hold your tri keeps and the ones I listed as crucial. Now, when it comes to farming/trolling and just pure fun I would think going deep into enemy territory would be the best (if you can handle it).

PcNA EP is not organized. I play EP lol. I know. Vs AD and DC the outposts are most important. If AD takes HOutpost they can hit anything, Fara, BRK, Drake, Arrius, KC and ultimately the Scrolls.

DC normally tries to do the same thing with much less success with WP, hitting KC. Mind you all this is pvdoor, as HOuspost and WP are rarely defended and a long ride if it’s lit quickly.

In, particular if AD with it’s organized Ball zergs get HOutpost, EP is in for a long day. Ep sits in zone talking about their favorite movies and tv shows while they get pushed all across the map. Alessia Bridge is EP’s most important pug objective. They’ll spend hours fighting on that bridge (only pausing to attack Alessia fd and wipe).

It’s best to not care about the campaign at all, kill the people you don’t like, get AP and gold jewelry and transmute crystals and talk smack to everyone inside and outside your faction. They are ALL chumps! Lol, square business.

You are right actually.

Chalman. DC seems to think it's their home keep. It is not.

I always thought the 2 closest Emperor keeps were the most important... Learn something new every day I guess.

It is really interesting to hear your PoV when you mention EP is not organized. The funny thing is many think you are... same goes for AD, and DC does

You make a very good point. I was not suggesting which was and or was not the most important. I was asking However, you mention Emp. My PoV for the importance of keeps... is if you're pushing or defending Emp, then yes those keeps are the most important. You've played since Beta so your input is very valuable so thank you!

LOL, yup the good old Chalemo! I think DC likes the Chal field fights there. When things are going slow, and DC is bored they tend to head over to Chal to poke EP to get them to come out and play! It is all good fun

geonsocal

for those red and blue - there is but one answer true...:

Gather 'round, proud warriors all,
Silent now and standing tall.
Bow your heads to those who sleep,
Beneath the ground of Chalman Keep.

for AD, just cuz poop rolls downhill from the north (both east and west) fast on the map: faregyl...

Taleof2Cities

There is nothing more important in the game than the Chalman west wall.

Nah, EP is not organized at all. It’s mostly solo players Zerg surfing or pug groups. There are no organized groups like TKG used to be, or like NI or Fantasia. Say what you will about such groups, a lot of thought goes into how they play.

The only thing EP PCNA has going for it is its Zone Generals (Xylena L. being one of the best-if not THE best pvper EP PcNA when it comes to fighting on a strategic level). Mind you, EP wins a LOT of campaigns soloing, small manning with friends, Zerg surfing when dorking around.

When all the new LFG players start listening to people like Xylena and actually learn stuff EP is hard to beat for a lot of reasons.

Ball Zerglings are trash 1v1 or even 3v3 or 6v6 because of how they are speced and because they are garbage fighters from relying on others for heals and support. It’s why such groups get mopped primetime and ball Zerglings are most effective pvdooring and nightcapping.

Lol. Someone could write a treatise on PvP lmao.

Castle Alessia, the fishes have to keep the sharks and slaughterfish fed at Alessia bridge.

Berenhir

The most important keep for EP is obviously Brindle.

For AD: Bruma. For some reason i can't understand yet...

Arrius Keep is the single most important keep in the entire Campaign. It's constantly targeted by both Blues and Yellows as well as the one Keep's resources farming groups always come to. It's infuriating.
