#27 When attacking stone pasterns, it is most wise to use a Fire Ballista to take down walls as fast as possible.

#27a -- Even better to use are scattershot catapults and iceball trebuchets.

#27b And for best results, meatbags are recommended.

#27c And for optimum results, let only 3-4 people use said siege engines while you look at your map, send /tells to people, and mill about the siege line.

and remember the golden rule..... you must bicker and argue with each other, instead of doing actual PvP. it accomplishes a lot.

(anyone know what scattershot is actually for?)

Wide radius of scatter shot has two advantages:

Revealing stealthed enemies.
Safely "tagging" enemies from a keep while others run around and make the kills.

I call number 2 Safety Farming, "This is shenanigans, foolishness. Nerf ball. You live a sweet little Nerfy life. Sittin’ on your biscuit. Never havin’ to risk it."

#13 - When you see a person that has placed two ballistas down and is running between both, never forget to grab one of the two and point it at a completely different wall. After all, finders keepers loser weepers.

!!OMFG!! This annoys me so much!

Rule 28: Take your crossfaction alt into the other factions buff server, start a conversation, get heckled and hated on. Proceed to kick the crap out of your own home faction for two hours, culminating in accidentally killing your own guildies. Then realize all along you werent defending your own buff server as Hijinx attacks that.

>_>

Dammit. Now I gotta recap all of Haderus.

lol I'm going to start doing this now just to record the rage tells I get.

#29: If you are Pact, your only purpose in life is to feed the AP farm at Alessia front gate. No other sides are worth sieging.

It is known.

The first time it happened to me I was sure I was being trolled. I thought "no one can be that stupid". Well, I was wrong.

#19 When fighting a non-vamp, always spam silver shards.

What other move has the same stam/dmg equivalent? Surely not all of them!

By the by, I haven't seen you around lately. Were I to throw a shard your way, would it still work?

I have about 30 ice trebs in my guild bank that someone got for us trying to be helpful. I'm still trying to think up a scenario where they'd really be useful. I wish the game let me just trade them in for AP or fire trebs.

#25. When you see members of your faction/group lying on the ground dead looking for a res, and there is no camp, you must ignore them. They had their chance. Besides, it is just you left against the opposition. You have this. You can solo them all with your meatbag and wipe them on the flags. This is your AP. You'll be crowned a hero, with everyone watching from their blue screen failure.

This one is still my favorite! So awesome!

Number 28 when you hit an ability button you are free to go make a snack

it will go off 13 secs later when you return

Grim13 · October 2014

#30 - One must build their class around access to as many shields as possible... and stack them all!

sarttsarttsarttub17_ESO · October 2014

#28 Alwayy put camps out in the middle of nowhere, but make sure they stop your faction from placing camps in their keeps

kenpachi480 · October 2014

#29 when a mage puts a damage shield arround you. always run to your groupleader and wait for it to dissapear

#30 When ever a AOE is following you. always walk to the most density of fellow players

This thread is such a rip-off of Sheogorath's Guide to Warfare (and Cheese) .

Soris · October 2014

#31 When you see a camp in the middle of nowhere in empty campaign, make sure bring your entire zerg into that spot and slaughter all duelers on sight and burn their camp. *sigh*

eliisra · October 2014

#32: Make sure to cap the most important objectives on the map. For example the bridge between Sejanus and Castle Alessia, it has strategic value. Always place a camp there, so you can port back in when the bridge is contested.

#33: If you want to board the Impulse train, you must wear the skeleton uniform.

#34: Purge is pointless to use, because it's not generating any AP.

#35: Tell everyone how you only play in small groups. It takes real skill and coordination. You can wipe 50-man Impulse blobs with 3 players.

#36: Always yell to solo'ers to go clear resources, when your guild is waiting for the def tick.

dcincali · October 2014

#37: Don't help out your faction by doing any PVP, instead stand at the gate and sell garbage items that no one wants.

Don't even know if he still plays, but it's the right thing to do when ANYthing significant happens.

Mojomonkeyman · October 2014

Reading this, it seems the playstyle on NA differs vastly from EU. A lot of things you guys mention as everyday annoyances are non issues in EU. I`m glad I`m playing here.

I play every day and I have never ever seen a trollcamp. And this strange faction pride thing which even gets carried over to balance and mechanics talk (guild summit thread, typical NA poster: "why is there so few people from faction X representing us?") is also not noticable here.

Ashanne · October 2014

Keep going guys..i'm taking notes and going to print them out..on pink paper.
Anyone wants the rules mailed to them? This is good stuff..

Or better make a sticky thread ...(save paper to save the planet)
