Stress test

It seems Arena Net still want to test the stability of the game hence the back to back stress tests we had Thursday and Friday. For the test that was Thursday it had a rough start with the log-in servers going down for the first 30 minutes which I did not mind much since it is just a stress test, and after that in world vs world it was a lag fest and tons of desynchronization which makes a normal battle at the gates of a keep rough because its hard to escape AoE when you have position lag and you just cant move in general. That part lasted about an hour while my guild struggled to get to the center of Stonemist keep in the eternal battlegrounds. It was like fighting an uphill battle because to get to the keep lord there is a ramp and the team defending can just set up on the outside and spam aoe on the choke point which gives them easy kills if they have enough players that can aoe or just a lot of elementalists. We finally got the keep with about a hour left in the test and defended it against both of the servers we were up against until the end of the stress test. They got close to our keep lord but our siege equipment kept them at bay and it was like shooting fish in a barrel.
