Astarica Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Well, besides asking the question of why anyone would play in Alderaan in the first place, I constantly see people send one guy (or better yet, zero) to their natural. Most teams will tend to send at least one guy to attack/harass the other side from capping. Now, in a 1on1, assuming both side sent their best player you can say the chance of you beating the enemy is about 50%. However, if you beat him the enemy failed their harassment attack so they'll be at a disadvantage elsewhere, but it's not crippling. However, if you lose the 1on1, your side basically just lost the fight. Also consider that the guy doing the solo attack usually arrives with a WZ buff while there's no way for the defender to do the same (neither of the powerups are anywhere near the path to your natural) you actually have a significantly higher than 50% chance to lose unless you use a WZ adrenal to counter. So basically sending one guy to defend your natural has basically at least 50% chance of causing your game to lose the game instantly if the enemy attacked your natural with ANYBODY. And yet people still do it over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanNate Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 What's a natural? And why wouldn't we play Civil War? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astarica Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 What's a natural? And why wouldn't we play Civil War? Natural is the turret closer to your side, i.e. snow for Imp and grass for Rep. Civil War is decided in the first 30 seconds of the game so I don't really like the map because there's no excitement once you figured out how it works, no matter which side you're on (though it's slightly more tolerable on the winning side).

panoukla Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Since I play a Sith Assassin I usually end up going to the natural turret. I always pick another person, mostly a Sith Marauder to come with me and intercept possible incomings in order to buy me time to cap. He then goes to the mid to join the others after I have capped.

-Yui- Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Just get a buddy to go with you to the side node. Er, so, what exactly is the point of this post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelodicSixNine Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 No but you'd have to be stupid to not realize the game was already over. So you have never had a come back from 2 cap? I call BS. Defenders are humans too. They make mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shlamorel Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 No but you'd have to be stupid to not realize the game was already over. I'll be objective here if you can answer this: can you honestly tell me that you have never won a game where the other team double capped at the start of the match?

BDreason Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I'm going to start calling it "the natural", just to piss off my guildies and other randoms. Maybe I'll start a trend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because the still way OP healers, they just stand in formation and cross heal eachother, that's the rebel PvP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astarica Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 So you have never had a come back from 2 cap? I call BS. Defenders are humans too. They make mistakes. If both teams are good, the first team to cap the FIRST turret wins. You don't even need to have a second turret capped because the game is going to end with a score of 10-0 but you wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Alderaan is a great map played in ignorance, or if your enemy routinely makes crazy mistakes from guaranteed win positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepilk Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 No but you'd have to be stupid to not realize the game was already over. Ive seen so many turnarounds in this warzone, that youd have to be stupid to think its coffin nailed in the first 30 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider a comeback victory against horrible opposition to be worth mentioning. I've won games where we were behind more than 1 to 2 on score by 3 capping the enemy and while that makes great bedtime stories, the point is that the other team made some incredibly dumb mistakes when they could've just send everybody to their only turret and still won.

dazednconfuzed Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) I'll be objective here if you can answer this: can you honestly tell me that you have never won a game where the other team double capped at the start of the match? I can honestly tell you that we lost a match where we double-capped at the start of the match. So, yeah, it does happen. We got the Rep base down to 30%, then lost one of the turrets. After that, we lost the match with their base still on 30%. Not sure what happened with the other turret though. We kept control of one throughout the match, but after losing the second turret, it seemed to do nothing.

JustinxDuff Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 You should probably be more organized. I have had amazing games in the civil war. We cap 2, they take on back but while they are capping it we are already at their other one. I have had games go 10-0 and 5-0 like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exphryl Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Not sure what I find more funny. A dumb name for the closet point, or the OP telling us all he quits after a 2 cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
