Allegedly it is possible for one alliance to conquer the entire world, so... I'd say it is possible Cavalon could fall, yes.

*Cries* No, my beloved Cavalon!

But seeing how the alliance battles have been going as of late...*frowns*.

I will hope for the best, and keep fighting for Cavalon!

No , they can not, Cavalon and Zos Shivros Channel are auto awarded to the luxon alliance with the most faction points.

Missions, and Zos Shivors/Cavalon can't be captured I do believe, same goes for the Luxon equivalent of Amataz Basin (the other challenge mission out west).

No, either side can't seize control of the other's capitol. However, it's quite possible for the battle lines to draw Cavalon deep into Kurzick territory, and who know's how the traders in those towns will react to different factions if that ever happens.

It's unlikely that would ever be the case, since the farther an alliance gets pushed back, the battles become tilted in their favor, ensuring that nobody will become overrun.

The Kurzick lines are well past several Luxon outposts right now however there seems to be a border around that clump of towns that prevents them from being in Kurzick territory.

today the Kurzicks pushed far into Luxon territory but notice on the map a circle around Unwaking Waters Luxon? that was an example of something that cannot be taken by the other side.

I'm tired, can't remember who said it but i agree with whoever said Cavalon and Zos Shivros are auto awarded to the Luxons, you have to leave something for them

That's either an edit or a beta picture as no alliances own ANY towns/outposts there.

That happened during the Faction Preview for PvE. No guild had an alliance to any of the two factions yet because they couldn't. Which explains why all those towns lack a guild emblem.

Yes, during the preview event EVERYONE that was anyone fought for the Luxons.

At Game release, they thought Luxon would be crowded - so went Kurzick - which means...Now its the opposite of the event and Kurzick takes most of the overall wins now lol.

See? An edit or a beta pic, I was right :P

Though, I really do wish a special event would occur when the following conditions are met:

1. All takeable towns/outposts on one side are taken.
2. By the alliance battle formula, another area would be taken if there was one to take.

This would mean that if, say that every takeable Luxon outpost was taken, and the Kurzicks had won enough to take another area, perhaps a massive Kurzick versus Luxon fight in Cavalon would occur over the next 15 minutes. Whichever side has more kills combined out of EVERY district would win. If the Kurzicks won, they would take Cavalon and every three hours that event would happen again. If the Luxons won, they resist Kurzick push for another three hours.

But alas, that's wishful thinking. I bet those conditions won't be met for a VERY long time anyway. Not to mention the coding it would take on Anet's part, and right now I want Nightfall to be good before anything else. Ah well, I can dream.

Well there you have it. That pic was a beta pic and will never happen again. Cherish it :P

I would love that, Kurzicks rushing in, Luxons doing whatever they can to preserve their PITIFUL LIVES MWUHAHAHA!!!! Anyway, if the Kurzicks DO INDEED take Cavalon from the luxons, the AB line should be reset.

There should be a gate into an area called: Cavalon, Front Gates where they would hold a sort of AB style match over the fate of Cavalon. Elder Rhea, and all of the luxon leaders would be there, Kurzick objective would be to kill Elder Rhea, Luxon objective, to kill the Kurzick Seige Leader. EoE has no effect on Elder Rhea, and she would be a powerful Water or Fire Elementalist with about as much health as Rotscale or the Guild Lord. This should be Likewise for House Zu Heltzer, assuming Luxons get anywhere near it.

It may be my poor memory, but was it even possible to go to Kaineng Center or Breaker Hollow during the beta weekend? And how could one have completed Arborstone? Was it possible to do missions? I didn't stick around much for that weekend so I may be wrong... However, if my memory is correct, the only other explanation for the lack of emblems is an edit.

I don't if this is true or not but, didn't Anet said they will reward the Faction that take over the opposing Faction's Capital city?

So there's only one arena beyond etnaran keys? Because I've seen the line in about 4 different positions tonight. One of them (unwaking + seafarer's conquered) is on keys and when Kurzicks take another town, it shifts to the next arena and stays there regardless of how many more town Kurzicks take...

But if mission towns & capitols are untakeable - what about the talk of how one alliance could conquer the whole world, and ANet preparing something special for them? Was that simply dropped?

The kurzicks are doing this:

Loin a Luxon group,when the battle starts the leave.
Then the Kurzicks win.

Has Anet actually stated that the capitols can never be taken?

they need to get guestinvites with luxon guilds to do that, cause kurzicks guilds cannot access the luxon side of alliance battles :P

i've fought for both sides yesterday (yeah, i need luxon faction for that befriend quest, so i figured i'd get it while luxons had massive advantage anyway) and the amount of leavers was the same on both sides, it was even slightly worse on kurzick side ...

The last time a checked on the euro servers the kurzicks have pushed right intoluxon territory, getting leviathan pits, Gyala Hatchey, erdon keys etc....when ifirst looked at it i thought i must be a glicth?! the night before it happend me and my guildies was waiting in AB waiting sometimes 30mins to get a match agasint the kurzicks, then i wake up the next morning and find the boarders screwed up, at one point the kurzicks even have aurious mines, lucklymy allaince has taken it back... this is bad and im very confused why this has happend...when it comes to boaders is itonly on that server or will USA,Europe & Korea have all the same boarders?...im guessing no....
