Granado Espada

Colony War

Last night I was able to log in to GE and participate in the weekly Colony Wars where factions fight each other to gain a colony within the explored territories of Granado Espada.

 

We camped at our colony in Via Fluvial and waited for incoming invaders. We held ground but nobody came. Thirty minutes passed and the guys got bored. They searched for targets to attack and the Gagos (that's his name) family spotted El Lago Celeste as a potential colony to attack. Menndez declared war and shortly, we rushed to the colony and quicky gained control over it.

 

We we're doing alright but the defenders retaliated and managed to push us back. We lost control of the colony after waves of attacks broke our formation. We tried to run at it again but the other factions are gunning at it too. It was very tense as we tried to take control of El Lago Celeste over and over. I managed to get a good laugh of families flying off the ground with Treasure Golem's attacks.

 

A number of invaders also spotted our colony but the few members of the faction guarding it were enough to repell them.

 

During the last minute of the Colony Wars, Intruderz managed to steal the colony that we worked hard to capture. Tough luck. Good think we still have a colony at Vial Fluvial.

 

The experience makes me want to have a vet fighter with a shield so I can block and absord huge amouts of damage, run back and forth, throw zeniths on people. I can't kill high lvl players with the current equipments I have. I need something more powerful.

 

I need to level up! Boost me anyone? Joking

 


The end of DefendeRz?

Menndez is planning to disband the faction. He's got lots of things to attend to. Most of the members want a stronger faction anyway with lots of high-end players who can boost and give them equipments, but we don't have that.

 

I can understand Carl's decision. It's hard managing the faction even with the help of Etherealist. People seem to want more and more. Admittedly we cannot provide that yet. We're still trying to get to the top too, just like all the rest. We do not have godly items and strong characters that could take on a strong boss raid.

 

While some might argue that items are not important, this is not the case for Granado Espada. The way the damage dealing is designed requires you to have an attack rating that is near, equal, better is higher, than the target for your attacks to count. Even if you have 20 families beating on Vergo but everyone's attack rating is 45-50, it is futile.

 

Right now, the few members that we have on the faction are members that play the game to enjoy it. I'm glad to meet such players. They are not jackasses like others that immediately attack and mock you when you're down. They help each other and make the game enjoyable for others.

 

So this is where DefendeRz would end.

 

He plans to disband the faction after the Colony war. We will make the most out of it, that's for sure. We will wage war against all factions and go down (of course because we can't take them all XD) fighting.


DefendeRz Colony War May 18, 2008

With the plan to disband the faction, some members left to join other factions. Most do not agree with the plan to merge with Aggressors. I for one do not like it. Just think of the name of the combined faction: DefenSor. Ugh!!!

 

But due to insistent demands and objections, Menndez decided not to disband the faction. We'll just work on what we have right now. So back to the Colony Wars we went and reclaim Via Fluvial.

 

Everyone was feeling perky with the decision. Even the lowbies participated and we had to escort them from the City of Auch to Vial Fluvial.

 

After getting the colony, we stood there to defend it. The geography of Via Fluvial made the attacks controllable. We just had to concentrate on the narrow path that leads to the colony. The waves of attacks were quickly nullified, and the persistent fighter who kept running were chased. Lowbies get a feel of high-level beast hunting near the colony while waiting for attacks.

 

After the war, we convened in our hideout and celebrated. Details of the celebration and how much we got paid are, of course, restricted information.

High Morale for CW!

5/22/2008

The last Colony War was attended by 33 DefendeRz. The highest attendance that we had so far. Menndez and Etherealist were both happy about it, and so were the rest of the faction.

Although we have 33 families online, our firepower is not yet enough to take on opposing factions. We know that most of the members are non-vets yet. We are working hard to train them to make the faction stronger.

Only a handful of families dared to attack us during first hour of the Colony War. Most of us tried to get the lowbies to gain experience by mobbing near the colony memorial. Some members even got a level or two, and was able start saving mega ores for veteran stance purchase when they reach veteran.

The real war started 15 minutes before the end of the Colony War. One of our members lured Dream Blade into the colony and we started hitting it. VII took this opportunity to infiltrate the colony by entering through portals (channel 2). We suspect a spy as we saw several people without factions roaming near the colony, some even resuscitating fallen invaders. In less than ten seconds, the whole memorial was swarming with VII members blasting everyone in sight. All chaos broke loose. Families with Vikis (including me) were too surprised to equip a Caliburn to summon. My Wizard immediately flew to stun them with Hole of Darkness. I saw several Wizards doing the same thing. Slayer's Wizard was beside mine, throwing bolts of photon balls onto them. Carl's elementalists also took a good chunk of VII members on the floor.

Our allies also came to help. zMojazz of HellRaiders was there, trying to fend off invaders.  In less than 10 minutes, the whole place was littered with broken VII bodies. We spent the rest of the war vigilant about such surprise attacks.

We hope we have this much families participating in the next Colony War. We'll spend the rest of the week training members to make them stronger.

Cheers to everyone! Good job defending, DefendeRz! Pleased
