For the past few days, I’ve been participating in the Guild Battle League and it is a horrible experience for me and my guild. As far as I know, the two timings allocated to GBL is 9PM and 12AM server time. Both times translates to 9AM and 12PM local time.

We tried to accommodate these timings, have as much people to be online very early in the morning, only to find less than 75% of the guild is available due to school/work. It’s very disappointing for us seeing how we have practiced for months to participate for GBL and have our efforts wasted.

What’s worse is the fact we participated in it nonetheless. Out of the 5 games we’ve played, 4 of which were severely handicapped where it was only the 6 of us against 12 of the other guild. I’d like to know, it was said that

-Written interviews will be held with the guild masters of the 1st ranking guilds for each region should the guild agree to do so.

Tell me, what is the top guild of Telsiai’s gonna say? How they trained every day and won through teamwork and cooperation, or simply the fact that they only recruit players who are unemployed/dropouts/work nightshift?

Despite this severe disadvantage on our part, we still seriously tried to win. We tried distractions, make use of the terrain and even some sort of backdooring strategy. Still, it wasn’t enough. As long as we were overwhelmed with numbers, we would still get spawn camped. I heard in the Korean version, you get to have 10 seconds to get up and run away. Here it’s just 3 seconds. 3 seconds of invulnerability where 1 second gets eaten up by loading, 1 second by lagging from all the spell spam and 1 second to die.

I believe the people in EU are facing the same problem here. This is a serious matter to consider as GBL is the height of content for PvP-oriented guilds.

On a personal level, it’s disheartening for my members who worked hard to get their PvP characters, who are inherently harder to level, to 280 only to find that they’re unable to participate in the Guild Battle League.

It’s even more painful for me to see them leaving the guild and the game because all their efforts were wasted.
