I was present for two of them. Both were unqualified wins for the Client. In the first case, the defenders didn't even mount a defence they were so badly outnumbered. Exophagy lost their Battle Keep without even a whimper. As a consequence, a number of Company brothers stood around and watched. And got paid.
The second siege was bloodier, but the result was the same. A well coordinated battle plan and some heavy mercenary help from TBC and another mercenary outfit known as the Soldiers of the Black Sun made success nearly inevitable.
The third siege was missed. A rare rift in the space time fabric made coordinating the start time difficult. Several brothers including myself got missed and were left drinking ale in the Green Man Tavern and waiting for word from the battle.
I will keep training and learning. Hand to hand in siege combat is a different beast than 1v1 PvP. Massive amounts of damage can be directed on single targets, and I find myself to be extremely vulnerable in large melee groups. Casters and rangers make me an easy target. I fell to ranged attacks far more often than enemy steel. I train and I plan.
Some minor annoyances persist - unsteady Clients who either plan poorly or not at all, difficulties with time co-ordinates and some rethinking about skill sets to best fight PvP.
All in a days pay.
