Take over Bastok and WindyFollow

ok how many sandorians feel like taking over ***-tok and WIndy. by that i mean take Sab and gust. we should do it. it will be fun to gain outpost there

Lets recap the past events of last weekend
40+ Bastokians vs 10-15 Windurstian's
Bastok lost

Do you understand the time and funds it takes to overthrow one of these regions. The only way it was done on other servers was probably because those servers didn't have dedicated EF groups to defend the regions.

On top of that when you are in control of a region there is little that you can do to help sway control of that region other than supply runs, trading equipment and leveling in that region, and we managed to do that with a quarter of the numbers they had.

I would hate to have seen the total expenses from the Bastokian's, I know I personally lost about 100k worth of stuff (probably more), I would have given an elemental staff or two as well if it got really bad.

You can try, but I don't think you will get anyone willing to waste Gil on such an event. Trying not to be harsh here, but maybe you should try and get a NA EF group going first so you have a base of people willing to do this sort of stuff.

I know if someone came up to me before I joined the Windy one and said "hey come help take over this region by spending more that 100k worth of Gil on equipment and trading it to the outpost." I would have laughed at the and propbably /blist'd them :P

Now it's a different matter, our homeland was under attack, I _had_ to help.

I sure wish people would do that...

I wouldn't mind trading regions at once for two weeks, but such an event would not happen (Windurst takes over Gustaberg during week 1, Windurst takes over Ronfaure during week 2. Same with the other two countries). There are too many issues involved, too many people who wouldn't know what's going on, and now Roukii will probably kill me for uttering such things (please don't hurt me!). Hostile takeovers not okay, agreed upon borrowing of land okay (takeover sounded too negative and hostile for something that is agreed upon :P).

You can succeed at taking over a newbie region the way bastok did but not right now. Because of the recent events on other servers, a lot of people are aware and sensitive to a possible take over. And if they are aware you will lose. The reason why the other servers were successful is because no one expected it. EF groups weren't checking their control of the newbie region so by the time they realized that Windy had taken control it, it was too late.

Wait like 3 or 4 months when this whole thing is dead and burried. Only start trying to take over the newbie region the day before tally. As close to the actually tally as possible to give them the least amount of time to react to what is happening.

It will take a lot of gil. It just what you are willing to sacrifice.

But above all things if you want to take over a region anywhere DON'T POST IT HERE. You're just asking for opposition on the subject. And it will make your job 100 times harder.

Proposed the plvl because Andena is from Hades server and has been playing for a while so she knows her job ;) I don't propose this to newbs or n00bs because they will learn nothing (specially the whm)IMHO

last offtopic reply I'm gonna make here lol

I understand ^^ Didnt quite catch it the first time around -_-;
:P

now lets get back ON topic...

See EF's don't just sit around and pick a region then go after it. Those involved do watch the regions and it's pretty obvious when your homelands are under attack. I don't think this thing will ever happen if there's an active EF in that specific nation.

Well yesterday I had a blast levelling in Tahrongi Canyon and Maze of Shakrami... No big secrets

We were 4 on Tahrongi (RNG, WAR, BST, WHM) and chained Ts very quickly.

When the BST left we packed our stuff and went to the maze... there were 2 BSTs and a THF levelling there, but they left soon. As a 3 person PT we hit some nice chains 5 (for 260ish exp) and even chains 6.

Sorry akya for not letting you tank.... ^^ I was packing heat ^^

3-4 Person PTs are viable and work very well (in certain situations) Just be smart about it! Guides arent always the best, they know a way to get there, but if youre clever enough youll take the small road and cut 90 minutes off your drive ^^
