Unfortunately....
You've hit pretty close to the truth.
The All Star Wars of 2013 will be a Rancor EE War Finale. The end point of the story of the Vanished Paladins.
It will work just as you're saying Philo. Just not now.
Unfortunately, the OSW of Oct to Mar, crushed the mid level builds of almost all those who participated. Leaving them with Ally BFA.
Look at the recent (yesterday's WarLor vs ZAFT Corp) WarLor won!
They've spent more time in EE than ZAFT Corp, ZAFT is the very best in OSW, similary -RCA-, WarLor are the very best in EE.
EE clans are renowned for:
- their BFE,
- their spy def stats (2m to 5m)
- BFA (quality not BFA)
- Xtal usage
- Tracking
- Pinning
- Use of Spies effectively (no one steals; scout (1 lot of spies), assassinate (3 lots of spies), steal (5 lots of spies); I'd rather use 1 lot
- knowing yourself n your build n effectively SKOing yourself (SKO > lose 1% of plunder, KO > lose 10% of plunder, don't KO/SKO > lose 0% of plunder)
Last 2-weeks of War.
So......
You wanna enter a great EE War clan...
Guess what? You can't. They don't want you!
Why? Well....
1. You're not part of "the team"
2. You've been jumping around like a frog with steroids. No one wants you because you're NOT Loyal, that's right, you're a merc.
3. If you wanna join for Rancor Season 2, you'll only be selected by the great to excellent clans based on your... BFE, BFA, Build (3-5m Spy Def).
You don't have it? Please don't apply!
4. If you can't be with the EE clan through highs and lows, you won't be considered for winning periods, and may be subjected to being left out from popular war timings, and might be subjected to canceled war slots.
You get it?!
