Did it live up to the hype?

I think most people came by just to see who would win the initial fight and that was Gulgru obviously, but that was just the start of a long night for Justice.

Its been interesting, the amount of times I've heard someone say "They are called warlords, why dont they go to war then" and then the second they get together and do it, all I hear from that moment on is "OMG! WTF is this BULLSHIT!"


I gave Burroughs a custom title which he absolutely earned. Afales died 2 times with heavy looting impact (bunch of sacced forged gear), Burroughs died once, Gulgru once with trivial looting impact (sacced Elundaris, think that is all). Overall its probably Gulgru's night, because he won key fights, sacced warlord gear, eventually got his cabal item back once it was no longer against the odds, and kept his titanium tenor which is what counts most, really.

We got a glimpse into the current conditions of cabal warfare. There is no pressure on the player at all to actually retrieve the capped item 2v1 or especially once the odds get any higher. I heard it loud and clear last night that retrieving with odds greater than 2 is a very unrealistic expectation (infact, a ridiculous and stupid one), but this is what balances the cabals having any powers to begin with. So there is probably some further discussions and followups needed there. I'll maybe open a patch thread in a few days after the dust settles.

Thank you for the update. I was disappointed I couldnt watch.
