I just wanna share with you guys whta happened during our first guildwar in Cabal Online USA. I know most of you might say "here we go again" or "yeah we`ve done that before" lines but ehehhee I really can`t help but share it. I`ve played lots of MMORPG and I`ve been through every guildwar there is but this event tops it all...^^
Anyways, so me and my guildmates were planning on having a guildwar with one a guild called "EXTINCTION" . We were so busy skill grinding, lvling up and upgrading equipments so that we won`t get owned easily during the war. Our guildmaster announced to everyone to "BE HERE FOR THE GUILDWAR" she even gave the time and meeting place ehehhehe..^^ The next day.., 9:00 pm PST we were really getting excited..!! We can already feel blood rushing through our veins as we prepare for battle, our body thirsts for the blood and screams of our enemy..!!!..0_o (kinda exaggerated ei..!!?? ehehhe) so, we finally meet up and when i got in the meeting place I was like WTF!!!!! where the hell is everybody..!!?? there were only 20+ of us in there!!! however those 20+ guild members were already pass lvl 100 so I still see a glimmer of hope...^^ However, when the enemy guild arrives...all signs of hope faded...........................THERE`S LIKE 50 OF THEM!!!!!!!! omfg.!!! i mean every member of their guild was in there even the newbies..>!!! T_T LISTEN: u might think that newbies can`t do anything on a guildwar, but they can be used as part of your guild`s battle tactics, take it from me...^^ during our guildwar they were used as a diversion, that way our attention was on them while we completely ignore the fact that there`s a high lvl player for every 3 newbies that sorrounds each of us ..!! it`s like a cover up.. you are soooo focused on killing the newbies because they are plenty but then ehehehhehe behind your back there`s a high lvl enemy waiting to kill you..!! 20 vs 50 ehehhe we were like really serious and then suddenly one of our guildmembers shouted on our vent "THIS IS SPARTA!!!" I was like WTH!!!?? yeah I can say that we really look like the Spartans in 300 ehehhehe..>!! in a way maybe...........^^ we really got owned on this one...T_T
After all of it we`ve learned the most important thing in a guildwar... attendance is a must, plan your battle tactics.. study your enemy.... just play and have fun.... oh and coordination is a must too...^^ Doesn`t matter if you`re all high lvl if there`s only a few of your guildmembers who will attend...trust me you will get owned...!! ^^
The most important thing to me in any mmorpg with PVP is the ability to trash talk your opponents. I liked pvp in eq2.. even put up with it in WoW, but nothing was like Vanguard, Star Wars Galaxies etc where when you killed somebody they cried your ears off for hours on end.

Tue Mar 11 2008 9:18PM ReportYour story sort of reminds me of my recent blog on 'pointless pvp'. Sounds like Cabal online doesnt have a death penalty or victory conditions whch means it doesnt have well thought out pvp
Tue Mar 11 2008 10:11PM ReportIf people are respawning like immortal gods I wonder what the victory condition is?

They use an honor point system here. You cannot lose terriority like we can in EVE online. I dont really know what point of a guild war is if you cant deal your enemy a harsh blow where they never return or talk smack again.
But it at least has more complicated pvp then I thought by reading the story
