Strand of the Ancients - Daily Battleground 2/28/10

Today the daily battleground was Strand of the Ancients. It is also the holiday weekend in SoA. I hate having my daily battleground fall into a battleground that is having it's holiday weekend, you get all the weekend warriors and twice the AFK in a battleground on it's holiday weekend.

SoA was no exception, but I got in with a pretty good group on my second try. We lost the first one horribly. We did manage to get the yellow gate down, then the timer ran out. That gave the Horde the full amount of time for their try. They had no problem capturing the titan relic in half the allotted time. We had a lot of AFK and a lot of people who had no clue what they were doing, not even sure if they knew they were in a battleground.

In the second battle we did much better. We slammed right on through and captured the titan relic in just a few minutes. That gave the Horde a few minutes for their try. We won that one without losing a wall/gate. We kept them on the beach and it was over in a few minutes. Whoever goes first sets the time that the second group will have. If we capture the relic in 3 minutes, then the Horde has 3 minutes to capture it and vice versa. Brieanna got the achievement Defense of the Ancients which not even my other 2 characters, Wranngar or Gomorra, have.
