Guild Wars 2

Stop: Ranting time.
I created a new character yesterday by the name of Giacomo Kogg. He's a human engineer, and he's a total badass.
Anyways, today I decided, at level 7, to try out WvW (World vs. World). Once I joined the map, I saw that my world (Maguuma) was winning. We're just that cool. I ran through the countryside without conflict and came across a pack animal carrying supplies from a supply depot to a fort. It was being escorted by about five other players. Since I could use the XP, I joined them, and we had a nice chat about our opinion on the game so far. Suddenly, we were attacked by a huge wave of invaders from another server, Yak's Bend. In a very 300-esque fight, we managed to fend them off long enough for reinforcements to arrive, at the unfortunate cost of two pack beasts. There were no beasts left, so we now had to carry the supplies ourselves. After reaching the fort, I decided to go join a battle. However, I was met with an entire army chasing after me. I made it back to the fort just as they mounted their assault. Immediately, I ran onto the fort's wall and manned a ballista while other players launched rockets and dumped hot oil on our foes. Eventually, we managed to break the siege, and chased the dispersing enemies back to their own fort, on which we mounted our own assault. Unfortunately, they amassed their forces inside of their fort and sent them all out at once, killing us all.

I freaking love this game.
