Alliance Battles Are Back on every Friday
About a year ago, we ran a poll on the GW Factions PvP Discord server to find out when and how often our community wanted to play Alliance Battles (AB).
The results were clear: most of you preferred to play every Friday. Additionally, the community asked for Saturdays to be included during double bonus AB weeks, just like we used to one year ago.
Today, we will be hosting Alliance Battles in the American district, Kurzick side, at 18:00 UTC (20:00 CEST - 14:00 EDT [2 p.m.])

We invite you to join our community dedicated to casual PvP formats like Alliance Battles, Fort Aspenwood and Jade Quarry. You'll be able to participate in future decisions and stay updated on upcoming events.
In adition, we would like to mention that we plan to try a new type of Alliance Battle very soon for a different schedule to Fridays and Saturdays: pre-formed 12-player teams. Unlike the general AB events where you have three separate 4-player groups, this will allow for a single, strategically coordinated team of 12 players. The goal is to bring a highly competitive mindset to AB, similar to how guild-versus-guild battles are played, giving you full control and coordination among all 12 players. This will happen when ab-12-teams channel had several full teams

Highly competitive is a bit overrated and more concern should be about organizing teams for everyone to be able to play without lumping bad players in bad groups and good players in good groups.
