After the horrible T3 slowdown, with barely any RvR to be found and only Tor Anroc and Talabec Dam ever popping up, I was beginning to get a bit short on enthusiasm.
Until I got to T4 that is. Let me just tell you, T4 is awesome. For one, it feels more like a real war than any of the other tiers, partly because of the numbers involved on each side (on any given night, there will be at least 2-3 Destro warbands fighting off an equal number of Order troops) and partly because having some leaders with a head for strategy is more important than ever.
Imagine, if you will, that you’re one of the leaders of an alliance made of 5-6 large guilds. You have 4 warbands at your disposal and there are at least 3 fronts on which you can do battle. Do you keep the warbands together, or do you split them up? Where do you send each group? Can you make quick decisions on what to reinforce and what to abandon? Cue about 20 more things that you need to look after at the same time. You sure went a long way from fighting 5v5 at the Lost Lagoon in Human T1, huh?
In conclusion, if T3 is wearing you out, keep your head up and try to think about T4. Because it really is great and it certainly helped keep my interest up.
