Why not make a 3rd BL design? That way all 3 maps have something different? *mind blown*

If Trebs aren't available, then Charr Car all the way baby!

There's a few reasons why we might go to a private tag and/or use comms: 1. Typemanding takes a lot of practice, and in the end it's still quicker to verbally provide the commands. 2. The enemy team might have a spy on the map and is tag watching. 3. We're running as a Guild-only and don't want any Pugs. As for being able to ensure where the other tag is at when they're hidden, I'll generally aim to try and have 1 person from their guild join our squad while they run with their hidden squad (if we're on good relations with that guild), or just have 1 person from our guild (if they want to) run with their squad while staying in ours, so we have that blue dot and it's a quick and general idea of where they're at. It'd be nice if we could have a "tag sharing" option that can only share tags to those who have a tag up or something, but alas, it's my workaround method for now.

This is a joke post, right?

Just that I THINK I am right. ?. ? Eh, the mounts have no defense. It's basically 3 hits and they're off their mounts or 0.0005 seconds if you dive into a zerg. Edit: Also, I messed up. I meant the Chrono Time-warp (F4 skill). It rewinds time to where were you at between 0.5-3 seconds ago (depending on # of clones out), cooldowns and all.

I say bring it on!

Seriously, way to screw over us Elementalists and our healing with this change.

Don't worry. We have Cyberpunk to look forward to in less than 2 weeks.

It's not even fun fighting against this comp.

Okay, the new range is WAAAAY too drastic. I thought the change would have been towards the border of the objective the banner is slotted for, not up to 2 feet outside the Keep/Tower/Castle...

Obviously there are people that are going to do that anyway, but I feel like your post is implying that farming for these 6 mystic coins that will take hours and hours to get (depending on a lot of factors obviously) is good gold. It definitely is not. That's why you just hope that your server is outnumbered on the map. Those bonus +5 Pips/tick will shave HOURS off the required playtime to get to finish Diamond Tier. Combine that with a Commander of a small havoc group (10-15) and your server leading the skirmish, you can see roughly 17-20 Pips/tick.
