08/22/22 – Day 1, Build!
We landed on the island and immediately got to work capturing nodes. I like the change to being class specific rather than hunting for nodes to find what you want. It took us 2 hours to cap out on clay and made decent progress for day one. We did 2/3 of tower building withing the first few hours and then held off to wait for the “off shift” to log in and get rewards.
On tower building I suggest you send strongest marches as this shortens build time. We have to amazing members taking the forefront of tower placement. I am completely okay with this because if anything goes wrong, I can blame Gray. What we did to ensure had clay was tell everyone to not collect on dailies until we entered the island and it worked to our advantage of getting to build out the gate.
We took three lairs, two 3’s and a 4. It took less than 15 minutes for the capture of each with minimal damage to troops. There were roughly 20 members online during captures and single squads were sent. The hard part was having the patience for a path to be built to the lairs. The plan for next reset is to build to and take the level 6 residence and level 5 lair at reset and save rest of building for off hours.
On a side note, the island has been split into two groups now. The unicorn hunters and the unicorn defenders. Dragons are split and both sides have dragon power now! The unicorn defenders have a phoenix though, can’t beat that unicorn hunters! In the discord roles have been given accordingly. Relations have still been positive and everyone is still getting along well. 139 people have joined the island party discord and still steadily trickling in. 3 have joined since I counted that number lmao.
We are waiting on the vote to finalize but most everyone it seems is for nap with designated clash zones. Sample text of discussions posted below. The civility of everyone has amazed me and is completely different feel from the leaders than in the first lost island I attended. Here is to hoping it stays that way! It is a breath of fresh air to be in such an amazing group of people! Long live WoJ!! Long live Queen Antithesis!! Burn the dragon Gray, leader of the unicorn hunters!
