Talk:Battle for the White Light

Clearing up

Can someone clear this up please? I just put some Info on there, but im not good at doing all the fancy stuff everyone else does, so i'll just ask nicely and hope someone wants to.

Oh, plus it was a HoTS victory, not sure why someone wrote JK victory heh.

Counter Point

I wrote it down as a WL victory on the basis of did the BLers achieve their main objective (destroying the White Light), the anwser would be a no, since the WL was still standing after the fight.

For a historical comparison, take a look at the Vietnam War, while the United States won every straight up military battle. They ultimately did not have the support of the people back home, this was caused by several political objectives achieved by the NVA (North Vietnam) & the Vietcong (South Vietnam rebels).

Its a bit of a long story but I think you understand where I am coming from on it. --- Raichiotto

I see.

Hmm.. Yeah, i guess i understand.

Still, halfway through, we found even with ~3 Champions and a couple of Artifacts it was near-impossible to destory the WL, so we killed all the WLers, making their presence useless, and we could have carried on with the desecrating if we wanted, so really, The BLers beat the WLers, and the Devs beat the BLers, by making the WL too damn hard to destory =P

A Suggestion

In that case, may I make the suggestion that the battle be called a tie?

Since the BLers didn't destroy the WL, but wiped out all of the defenders. nobody really achieved what they set out to do. Thus the two missions were offset by each other. -- Rai
