    NA Siege Guild Rankings 12/14/19

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 04:56 PM PST

    Hello,

    12/14/19 NA Siege

    There were a lot of good fights this siege. It was possible for every region to have some sort of fight. I'll be adding a short TLDR for each section for those who don't want to read the analyzing of the fights and where I think the guilds strengths/weaknesses are.

    1. ChoNation

    No change for ChoNation this week. Cho and Basi dropped Calpheon to try to catch BlackRose and Barcode. Little did they know BR wasn't even there the entire time. Late Friday night I checked Mediah fort count and it was already at 3, I was highly suspicious it was BR who was placed early. BC pulled off Calpheon (will discuss more of this in BC section) because they didn't want to get 1v2'd. Cho chopped the sticks and took Calpheon.

    There is an interesting trend here that I will talk about. It seems BR is much more willing to fight Snake rather than fight Cho. There are a lot of instances where Cho has been in the castle (especially Calpheon) and BR could take advantage of that. BR has another opportunity this coming siege with Cho in Calpheon, however with the holidays I doubt it, but it does seem they are willing to attack Snake in Mediah during the holidays. While saying that I understand if BR dropped to 1v1 they probably wouldn't be given the chance to 1v1 Cho. Focusing on Cho though, they aren't wanting to fight allies right now and BR and BC aren't looking to fight either, so what is next for Cho? As I have said in the past Cho and Snake's comps are very similar and in a 1v1 scenario I would put Snake above Cho especially if the fight involves a castle. However, I am keeping the rankings as Cho #1 Snake #2 until I am either impressed or unimpressed. Cho has clean shot calling, and their ball moves well.

    TLDR: Cho placed Calpheon to fight BR/BC. BR wasn't even there, and BC ripped to avoid the 1v2. Cho chopped sticks and took Calpheon.

    2. Snake

    3. Blackrose

    There was so much to cover in this fight, I hope I do it justice for those who are just reading this and didn't get to watch it.

    Snake v BlackRose on Mediah Breakdown

    This was the fight of the week. BlackRose for the second week in a row came to Mediah to 1v1 Snake, and this time they got what they wanted. It was me who scouted the BR builder on Mediah with about 30 minutes to go before siege, so their sneaky strategies in that manner seem to be working, as everyone else thought they were on Calpheon. Snake did decide to stay in the castle and fight this week which heavily favors them with their caster and Shai composition. Although Snake started with about 70 because of the holidays, by the end of the fight Snake had numbers in the low 80s. BlackRose had the ability to hire mercs and if they weren't at a 100, I don't know what the reason would be. This would be the fight to go all out and win. I heard they were somewhere in the low 90s like 92.

    The fight started out as usual, BR chopped the sticks on the region and took 20 minutes to make their first push. Their first push was a full v play to a room way back by the second gate. It has a pathway to the base or to a roof in which you can get a lot of control over. Most guilds attacking Mediah try this play. Snake positioned their Shai's well and maybe 15 BR got into that room/roof. This push was cleared by Snake. There were a few small pushes between the first and second big push but not much happened.

    The second push was a big one. BR brought out their Ogres to debut them in a Mediah siege fight. Let me break this down BR had: 3 Ogres, 3 elephants, cannons shooting, and 70-80 people running through our first gate. BRUH. At first it looked a bit shaky as the ogres made their way up to the left side (if you are looking from the outside of the castle in, its to the left) where a bunch of mages are. The ogres did decent damage and CC and I'm going be honest and say if it was any other guild BR would have won on that 2nd push. People downplayed the effect the ogres had, lets just remember they were on 20-30 Snake witches and wizards…BR's members were mostly wiped in the courtyard thanks to the bubbles from the Shai's and the ogres were left behind on the walls. Snake then pushed out to clear cannons and the ogres pushed to the second gate. The ogres were eventually cleared out.

    They tried maybe 1 or 2 more pushes through the spiral stairs and got Shai bubbled then farmed in the courtyard. The next big push was with the siege tower, they did several pushes with it but in the end that tower never got them any advantage. They did a tower on the front wall as well as an attack on the gate wheel with ogres and members, but both were cleared out again.

    There was one more huge push with elephants and ogres except this time it was all focused on the first gate. The ogres were keeping our members off the gate, but their members didn't last long enough to get any damage done. BR used about 8 or 9 ogres in this fight.

    The last 30 minutes of the fight looked more desperate for BR as they were running out of time and the gate was still about 50%. Every push from then on was a full committal to the first gate. They had a bit of success, especially when after a wipe happened Snake pushed out, but no one was on the wheel, and there happened to be a BR member still alive in the castle. The gate was lowered, and it took some damage.

    I'm not going to look at what pushes they did get the gate down. I believe they got the gate down 3-4 meaningful times and got cannon damage on it. Snake figured out it was something they were doing which was kicking the gate holder off which could have stopped some of the damage. In the end the gate was around 20%, maybe a little higher or lower depending on who you talk to.

    --------

    Thoughts and Discussion on the Fight

    In the end Snake did defend Mediah after a two-hour siege by BlackRose. It was filled with a lot of different strategies and tactics. You could really tell that they put the practice in and again I will say that if it was any other guild on this list, they would have succeeded in taking the castle. Also, Snake bounced back after a flop last week. Most of Snake's planning is done 20 minutes before siege and during siege. The response to all the different strategies was solid and not once was Snake even close to getting wiped in the castle. There was even a push that BR did where Snake had 1 death (I think it was a Shai).

    It was an incredibly tense fight from both sides. I know the Snake side was and even though BR no longer has comms one can imagine what that was like. Also, I think Snake was carried by their 20 shot callers during the high intense pushes…they might look to mute people in Discord. Based on last week's open field engages and the 20 voices speaking at one time those would be the weaknesses of Snake.

    Snake does bounce back to the #2 spot. As I said above, I think there is merit for a #1 Snake ranking, but I will hold off until we see more from both guilds. BlackRose on the other hand didn't get weaker in strength or anything like that. Chances of them winning a castle siege against Snake is low, and last week's showing everyone can agree was off. What we can tell from week to week is that if you let a guild get any advantage in a push they will win, as BR showed they could wipe Snake if they engage before Snake could respond.

    VODS:

    BlackRose POV: Choice

    Snake POV: Huntler

    TLDR: Snake defended Mediah against the BlackRose assault on the castle. Lots of ogres, elephants, siege towers, and members died. BR used a lot of different strategies but came up short in the end.

    4. Barcode

    Barcode was yet again left behind in their alliance. While BR is off doing their own thing what is Barcode supposed to do? BC was dropped on Calpheon looking to capture Calpheon, as the week before they worked with Vexis and Aftershock to secure Calpheon and hoped to work with them again to secure a region for themselves. However, Cho and Basi thought both BR/BC were placed and dropped to 2v2 them. Not wanting to 2v1, BC pulled off and their only option was to drop Balenos and fight Filter. From a BC point of view, they finally got a fight where they weren't at a large disadvantage to start. For an overall perspective of the fight they didn't have a great showing. You could say it was just a fun meme fight or what not, but I know their intent was not to have a bad showing. Most of the fight was on Filter's base, the engages were Barcode favored but not in the percentage you would think when you say BC v. Filter.

    Barcode just made this huge change to move people to casters, and with that would mean most of them probably just made an alt with TET weapons which overall hurts their GS advantage that they have had on the guilds below them. Just a week ago I said BC is comfy at 4th but I think we have finally seen that something is off, and they are no longer comfy holding that #4 spot. I do still think that Barcode wins this spot in a 1v1 vs #5-8.

    TLDR: Barcode planned to take Calpheon after working with Vexis and Aftershock last week, everyone else had other plans including Cho and Basi who dropped to fight BR/BC. BC pulled off to avoid 1v2 and dropped on Balenos to fight Filter. They took Filter out in about an hour.

    5. Basilicacorps

    Basi dropped on Calpheon this week with Cho to fight BR/BC. BR was never there which forced BC to pull off. There could have been a similar fight to what was supposed to happen last week but it didn't end up happening (Aftershock & Basi v Cho). I am putting Basi a lone at #5 this week which I will explain in the next section.

    TLDR: Their base got axed.

    6. Corrupt

    7. Vexis

    Corrupt and Vexis were both on Valencia this siege along with Haste (formerly Vertex). The fight was Vexis & Haste v Corrupt who was in the castle. As this was a 2v1 I'm not going to go into detail about the fight as it's mostly running it down to overwhelm Corrupt in the castle. Corrupt does not have a lot of experience defending a castle and you could really tell. They had casters not on the walls during the pushes instead being on the ground where the guilds charge into. Corrupt did have a bit of a hold in the throne room but eventually they were taken out.

    Corrupt goes down in strength a bit as we've seen the other side of siege from them. Defending a castle may not be their strong point but we know open field fights are. I do think if you do an open field 1v1 with Corrupt v Vexis/Filter/VRTX they have an advantage (1v1 with Basi open field is close). In a castle though they don't have the same practice, as well as not being able to do their Corrupt special as effectively. Corrupt is looking to 1v1 in a castle which makes me think they realize what happened.

    Vexis had a good showing this siege and gets a boost in the ranking to be closer in strength with Corrupt, but still below in rank overall. I think Vexis could have taken out Corrupt 1v1 in Valencia this weekend, but they decided to go for the guaranteed cap instead. They decided to bring Haste which brings a whole slew of interesting thoughts. Haste (formerly Vertex) and Vexis have not gotten along since, believe it or not, a fight on Valencia where Vertex (now Haste) tried to backstab to capture the region. Both have stated openly that they don't wish to work with each other in the past. However, with some new leadership at Haste there was a huge opportunity here to do something. Vexis and Haste could form a mini alliance to try to contest Basi and Corrupt who have held Valencia for some time now. I think this would be an incredible fight to watch.

    Back to the fight, after Corrupt was taken out Vexis did some open field fights with Haste which went in favor of Vexis. The first push was close, and some have stated that Haste members started leaving which I both understand and disagree with. Most were probably tired from running it down in the castle, but it would have been a great time to get the cohesion back together under the Haste banner. Most of the engages that followed were heavily in favor of Vexis. Vexis did end up taking the region as Haste walked off.

    VODS:

    Vexis POV: StrykeWraith

    TLDR: Corrupt was in Valencia castle v. Vexis and Haste. Corrupt was taken out, Vexis and Haste did some fights open field but eventually walked off. Vexis took Valencia.

    8. Filter

    Filter has arrived boys and girls. After sitting in Balenos/Serendia for most of their existence since they reformed, they finally got a fight. The fight wasn't against some NW guild either it was against Barcode. Taking nameplates off, you would imagine that a top 4 guild would take down a Balenos guild in 20 minutes or less. However, Filter has been recruiting casters and several geared players. They had great attendance for not being able to hire mercs against a guild that could. Filter showed up. I explained a bit of the fight in the Barcode section, but Filter had some great ball v ball engages on Barcode. I believe Filter came in prepared while Barcode really didn't. Some of the engages on Barcode were a bit rushed and not quite set up, and yet still they had some amazing results. Against Barcode it's possible to wait just a bit longer for your entire ball before you engage, because BC isn't that aggressive. Out of that entire fight that's really the only thing you can knock on though. It was great to see Filter fight. Based on that performance you could make a case for Filter being top 6. I personally just want to see this level of performance another week or two before we make any moves here.

    VODS:

    Filter POV: Tawaki

    TLDR: Filter had to fight against BC who dropped literally last minute. Filter had great success fighting BC and lasted about an hour.

    9. Challenger

    If anyone is looking to get into siege, I would hit up the guilds 8-12 as great fights like the ones on Serendia/Balenos is what it is all about.

    Challenger was challenged by Legatum this week on Serendia. After holding Serendia for over a month a fight finally came to them. This was a great fight to watch and it was a lot of back and forth fighting. Overall, I think Challenger was a bit unpracticed in the situation while Legatum had been doing NW's and such for several weeks. Legatum had numbers in the high 80s while Challenger had 68. Legatum also had 30+ mercs.

    Challenger's special teams looks strong, especially their cannon teams. They were giving Legatum a bit of trouble which bought Challenger time. Once Legatum got momentum on Challenger's base it can become one sided unless there is a huge outplay which never came for Challenger. In the end Legatum took them out.

    TLDR: Challenger fought Legatum on Serendia, Legatum took out Challenger and captured Serendia.

    10. Haste (Guild name is now VRTX) (formerly Vertex)

    Vertex died last week after their GM went mental and kicked every member. They quickly jumped into the Haste shell. I would say at least 90 members followed to Haste. With all but 3 of their members being sprouts (not able to purchase stun traps, build structures, etc.) they had a decent showing on Valencia this weekend. Before the purge Vertex was on the up and up in my mind. Their guild composition is caster focused with geared players. A lot of the guilds that I talked to had them rated highly.

    I am putting Haste at 10 this week. This is more of a placeholder for a few more weeks. Do I think they could beat guilds above them in the rankings? Yes, but they are basically a brand-new guild now and I want things to settle before they are placed correctly.

    TLDR: Newly formed Vertex guild now mostly in Haste. Fought on Valencia this weekend for practice, then walked off.

    Up and Coming Siege Guilds

    Legatum

    This siege was the welcome back we have been waiting for from Legatum. Legatum had a great showing at this siege. I want to make it clear that they did have a lot of mercs but most of those players were around the average GS of Legatum. It wasn't like they recruited half of Cho. I did see a few highly geared mercs, but that is nothing new.

    Legatum was at Challenger's base from almost the start but didn't get an advantage for quite some time. Challenger did push off Legatum at the start and did a few offensive pushes towards the beginning, but none that could give them the advantage in the fight. Legatum's ball movement around Challenger's base was great. Their movement as a guild overall seemed cohesive. Once Legatum got a hole in Challenger's base, they gained all the momentum in the fight. Legatum used their Shai's on the chokes well and continued to snowball the advantage. Eventually they whittled Challenger's base down and took the region.

    Look forward to seeing more fights like this on Balenos and Serendia, and especially more fights for guilds around this rank. This is also a good indication for NW guilds who have some strength to try it out.

    VODS:

    Legatum POV: Frooshy

    Aftershock

    Aftershock was the owner of Calpheon but did not show to siege. Got axed down by ChoNation.

    -----

    Again, if there is anyone looking to get into siege, a guild around this rank would be a great place to get your feet wet.

    Sorry for the longer post this week, there were a lot of fights and lot to say about the guilds. I hope you enjoyed reading. The VOD's listed aren't all of them, just going to point out a few a week.

    Complete List

    1. ChoNation
    2. Snake
    3. Blackrose
    4. Barcode
    5. Basilicacorps
    6. Corrupt
    7. Vexis
    8. Filter
    9. Challenger
    10. Haste (Vertex) (VRTX)

    Legatum

    Aftershock

    ---edit: corrected Challenger's numbers to 68, sorry!

    Cheers!

    How exactly do you get better gear?

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 09:25 PM PST

    I reached level 50. I've been using a +13 bow for my archer and +6 gear since like level 10. I've been doing the story mode and havent really gotten any other gear. And it's way too expensive to buy. So how would I go about farming?

    NA Gets Shafted AGAIN?!

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 12:01 PM PST

    So we got a lot of new events again today but we didn't get the

    What can you make with Buckets, Snowballs and Branches?

    or the

    Delicate and Resplendently Shining Snowflake

    We also did not get Guardian Pre-Creation or any word on when it might be coming out for our region, We are so in the dark on so much information. They also get so afraid about spoiling content for other regions but they don't blink an eye for releasing content for other regions before us which ruins it for us.

    Its getting ridiculous how we constantly get screwed and they don't ever care.
