How to play Wintergrasp

[obox]

Ok didn't see any similar guide around here and alot of people still don't know how Wintergrasp is played I'll try to do a nice guide here also if anyone has any question about wintergrasp rewards or anything else regarding wintergrasp feel free to post here the question or pm me.

What you need to do to win as an attacker is to go inside the keep at some big orange activate it for 10 seconds , but get damage and then youll have to re-activate it.

To win as a defender is to stop them from getting at that orb , battle will last 40 minutes or untill attackers will win.

When you are the attacker :

-you must get the siege factories that are near the keep . Why ? Well because otherwise you'd have to get them from the south and then it will be a loong way to the keep and we don't want that.

-to progress you gotta destroy the walls , to destroy them you need to use the siege weapons , you should destroy the cannons aswell since they can do some pretty heavy damage on you're vehicles

-after you destroy the first wall you should have some high rank peeps you should now focus some people on killing the enemy players and NPC's using catapults
meanwhile the siege engines and demolishers should continue assaulting the keep

-after you get in and breach the inner keep everyone should go try activate the relic and ofc kill the defenders around there

When you are the defender :

-you should have some people handling the cannons while others should get the northren siege factories so they would have to use the southern factories to get vehicles and traveling from south to the keep is a loong journey also you can destroy the southern factories and then retake the northren ones

-obviously after they get in the inner keep you all gotta defend that orb

What are...

Siege Engines : equipped with a cannon that can shoot some boulders inflicting great damage ( requires a 2nd player tho ) , best for destroying the walls , can get 2 more passengers but .. they cant do anything , they are only passengers

Demolishers : pretty same only that they can carry 2 more passengers that can use their own abilities and they can cast while the vehicle is moving

Towers : can do high damage gd for defense buut if you destroy them they will respawn

Ranks : after killing couple enemies you get Rank 1 corporal therefore you can buy catapults at siege factory
more kills = rank 2 first lieutant , after this you can buy demolishers and siege engines

Honor : the ammount of honor varies but I assure you it definetly worths you can get a couple k honour in a battle , last night when i arrived with several minutes before the battle would end i got 22 kills and 1300 honor you also get marks but the marks are bugged right now :s not everyone gets them

and it happened to me to :s

[elliotthehobo]

ive gotten marks every time i have done it...atm i have 25, 3 each win (as first lieutenant, 2 as private, 1 for losing)

[markons]

i think marks are bugged, since i didnt got them 2 times ( we won while attacking base ) wrote GM a letter and got replay in mail saying that they are working on it and that they are informed about the issue....

Everybody seems to overlook the fact that RPGs spawn in front of the defending teams factories. These deal like 5k damage to a small area roughly 20~ yards in front of where the player is facing. They're extremely effective at bottlenecks (such as the door to the orb) and for destroying seige tanks.

Also I don't think I could emphasize enough that if you're defending you MUST send out players to destroy the enemy factories. It's very difficult to win on defense by simply trying to turtle in the base. Defending is a delay game, you do everything you can to stall the enemy and preventing them from overwhelming you with siege is easily the most important thing you can do to achieve that.
