All too often, I see people enter a road deathmatch over and over when if they just ran past the enemies they could reach an undefended flag with ease. The same goes for WSG and fighting in the middle. I see people purposefully dismount to engage in a mid-field deathmatch instead of staying with their teammates and heading for the flag.<br /><br />If you are winning, fighting on the road generally means you are keeping the other team distracted with a deathmatch so they won't flip flags. And in WSG, if you are winning, fighting in the middle can be an effective strategy to prevent the other team from completing objectives.<br /><br />So, I think fighting on the road is not intrinsicly bad, but if you are losing it is not wise.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947207527465351649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005815139229200661.post-80932896702747089412010-08-31T07:47:36.106-07:002010-08-31T07:47:36.106-07:00I agree that fighting on the road situationally fa...I agree that fighting on the road situationally favours one team or the other. When I say that its neutral I mean that it does not favour Horde over Alliance or vice versa. The understand whether an individual case of fighting on the road is better for one team or the other you need to know a lot about the current state of the game. There's no way to broadly generalize about whether it is good or bad to fight on roads in Arathi Basin, we can only talk about situations where it is good or bad.Sthennohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429676469805661834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005815139229200661.post-49667512006028250412010-08-30T08:23:17.586-07:002010-08-30T08:23:17.586-07:00I don't think 'fighting on the road' i...I don't think 'fighting on the road' is actually a neutral proposition in general. You are negating (hopefully) the same number of people per side which is relatively fair but this tends to be to one team's advantage. <br /><br />If my side has more nodes captured than your side and I'm happy to sit around then I actually want to fight on the road. Leave a few people at my 3 nodes to defend and then try to convince the opponents to fight me anywhere but those 3 nodes.<br /><br />When you're down nodes you don't want to waste time fighting on the road. Ideally you want to either slip through unaccosted and hit a loosely defended node or you want to move out in a big force and overpower a node. In both cases stopping on the road to fight is just going to cost you time. (Probably a couple of you in the big group get slowed and end up stopping to fight anyway, but everyone else can move on.) If they're actively defending the roads then it becomes hard to slip through unaccosted but that's where stealth classes and building up a big charge come in.Ziggynyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07518980519046202646noreply@blogger.com
