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? ![]()
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.
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.
CW pictures below! Check them out! ![]()
