Im luxon

From what i have seen in all honestly...

Luxons mob 80% of the time
Kurzicks Mob 80% of the time... thier both realy just as bad.

but what i hate the most with the luxons.. is im capping a shrine with my team 4 ... the capping is almost finished... and the other luxon teams run over to this one shrine... even though its finished by the time they get there..and the kurzicks then get the other shrines to cap easy. = fail

That insane! I always get stuck w/ the mobbers

and I'm Luxon... maybe it's just the wrong group or somethin. but double Fac. weekends tend to lead to very chaotic "things". They don't realize that they would get more Fac. if they cap (cause U tend to win) than just saying "RAAAAAAW I'm gonna go out there and Kill EVERYTHING!!!!!"

(which makes U lose).

The other day in an AB round I decided to leave my team to it, they had been continually mobbing with 4-5 other players (...die...respawn...run to mob.....repeat), only to join a group of three running past to then cap 8-9 times in a row at speed taking us from getting our asses handed to us to only just losing by 10-20 points.

My reward?

Abuse from my "team mates" for not "sticking with them" even after explaining that I don't mob.

Dishonorable after they spammed people to vote.

My conclusion?

Some people like to mob.

The end.

Which side is "best" fluctuates with the players. People move from one side to another so Luxons are Kurzicks are the same.

Price of amber usually exceeds that of jadeite which may be because of better looking armor. But this is just a hypothesis.

I've known Luxons mob just as badly as Kurzick teams. I've many a time been the only Kurzick not running around in a huge group, usually in to a massive mob of Luxons, who usually like to have a few MMs with them. Winning in AB is at the whim of luck a lot of the time, as in you hope that that team of 3 assasins plus yourself don't end up with you trying to solo cap the shrines whilst the 3 sins run off with the other 8 Kurzicks to get killed in a standing battle.

When Kurzick players realize especially on Etnaran Keys map, that they get Underdog bonus, speed boost right off the bat, and that once the first 3 shrines are capped that 2 out of the three groups need to head to the rez shrine first while the other goes off and caps something else luxons wouldn't have a chance. More often than Bush crys foul Kurzicks ignore what needs to be done listed above and in turn allows luxons to have both rez points and then the infinite opportunity to mob all they want. Add to the fact that once wammo stance tanks that can't kill any decent player with a brain decide to take a worthy build in, games will be won. AB is a cesspool of retards, worse than scum found in RA.

Underdog bonus only applies if you win and only gives more faction for a win as far as I know. You get no bonuses to ability or anything. Mobbing the res shrine doesn't always work at the start. Some people aren't as good at the PeeVeePee thing as others. I'd rather not get into a lengthy discussion about maps but there is only one res shrine on Keys/Grenz and yes, it is important for the underdog team to grab the shrine due to the distance but mobbing the res shrine first puts you at a serious disadvantage in terms of shrines if the opposing team is half competent and honestly, probably shouldn't be done.

I'd have to disagree that RA has somehow magically better people and builds than AB. You may only see maybe 7 bad players at once in RA instead of possibly 23 bad players but don't fool yourself to think that there aren't at least 16 other horrible builds in some other matches you aren't apart of. I've found them to be rather equal to be honest. If anything, I'd rate AB higher than RA since you get to actually choose your immediate 4 members and it promotes a higher level of battlefield awareness. You could scrub it like RA or take some time to get a decent group or play with friends. You'll actually meet more friends that way and have a larger group of people to draw upon. I realize people look down on the shrine capping part but it's not like you can be really effective in AB if you do not PvP at all. If you are, it means someone else is picking up your weight. Unfortunately, that probably happens a lot.

Against you. Easy, tank them out and go on.

Also if you setting up for AB try to spike join, but in a weekend like last one that is nearly impossible. I tried it with 6 teams on luxon side and only saw 3 teams in 25 try's.
Joining a luxon AB guild might be nice. But for some reason they dont group up inside their guild. They play with friendslist. Just get some friends in AB and enjoy your time with them.

your guild should be friendly. i join mine because of the people, not how good the guild is. Since i like everyone in it we ab together all the time.

99% of what i have read in this thread is filled (I didnt bother reading all of it) with biased opinions, and people saying "well I dont knwo about you loosers but I ALWAYS pwn Kurzicks/Luxons cause im 1337" it may not be that blatent but thats what alot of these posts are.

Who gives a dam about which side mobs more/less or wins more/less when you can take any retard give him 8 random skills and team him up with 3 other retards with 8 random skills and group that group of retards with 8 other retards and AB will be no different. And even then those builds will be better than half the builds you see in AB.

Both sides mob; both sides suck, and both sides are arrogant, stubborn, and bull headed.

You know AB (and RA) is a broken form of PvP when things like the E/D tanks and Asscasters and Touch rangers can succeed.

So to reiterate my point. AB is fun and its fun to test stupid stuff in, like a ranger with lvl 0 minions (yes me and a guildie did it cause we saw someone else do it) and still win. Just keep playing and shut up about wins losses mobs and what not.

I also think Anet should take the ALL chat out of AB, so it doesnt become Flame battles, like what happens alot of the time

Moloch Vein · Dec 23, 2007, 11:47 PM // 23:47

I'm Kurzick. I've been Luxon. I've played AB with both Luxon and Kurzick.

Quite honestly the Luxon side is better, overall speaking.

horseradish · Dec 24, 2007, 12:09 AM // 00:09

Both sides mob. I've seen Kurzick mobs and Luxon mobs, so let's just put the damn argument to rest. Also, the "Kurzdicks SUCK" and "SUXON N00BS" posts are really lame and idiotic.

zling · Dec 29, 2007, 03:45 PM // 15:45

AB is pretty much a matter of luck, same as RA
AB has more idiots than RA cause farming factions>farming glad points for the majority of the PvE community that likes "light" PvPing.
glad points only serve dedicated PvP players while faction points only serves dedicated PvE players.
usually PvP players>PvE players when it comes to PvP, no brainer...
thus RA>AB in terms of the casual player.

that said, both have touch rangers, mending whammos, terra tanks, riposte warriors, mark of rodgort and firestorm warriors and what not roaming around in them...

polishhoodie · Dec 29, 2007, 09:42 PM // 21:42

Kurz always seem to mob when i play with them, thats why i always try to get a guild team or just go with my lux friends. Lux in a guild team is almost a garunteed win.

Bobby2 · Dec 30, 2007, 07:21 AM // 07:21

I'm Lux, and I often find myself solo capping ---> bad sign

RiKio · Dec 30, 2007, 03:17 PM // 15:17

I go in dual team in AB:

ME: Buffer ( Ritualist) I buff my mate
Mate: Assasin. He kills people. It is obviosuly.

With this team, we won when we enter in AB. But, the strange thing is, when I enter alone, with a pug, I always lose...

dwdsad9 · Feb 24, 2008, 05:22 PM // 17:22

Why every time we do this type of weekend that we end up on the kurzic side all weekend long. We have been on their castle for over 24 hours and only on the luxon for an hour. happened last time this weekend happened. Makes you feel like this is just a kurzic weekend and makes is an unenjoyable weekend but in need it to raise my level up. What is everyones else ideas.

English Warrior · Feb 24, 2008, 07:32 PM // 19:32

pretty easy to see Kurzick are worse in AB because the better people just FFF because it is faster even with double faction however luxon ff and AB are pretty similar rewards so most AB.

Luxons generally know that capping is what is important, but Kurzicks ALWAYS seem to mob. Mobbing = lose

I disagree with your statement. I see mobbing on both sides, it changes from match to match. I am Kurzick and I did notice the same thing this weekend that there was a distinct lack of capping. If I see teams stating to mob I just take off and solo cap as many as I can and stay either ahead or behind the mob.

Well im kurzick and i got to r4 without much bother bout 5-6 months ago, but now, omg!!!! kurzick suck so much its not even funny, they like the alliance on WOW, more popular but the good (18+) players go Luxon/Horde
