Apologies to Centuri and Keepers

[Killgorde]

Some things make the game worth playing. Like tonight when our FG ported Albion for a vacation, maybe to pop Ren or spend sometime in FS disciplining the local riff raff. As it happens, Erasleigh fell to the Albs as we hit our MFG in Hadrians, so we opted to go and conceal ourselves in Beno using the logical assumption that it would be attacked next. Sure enough, after a short time the archers started strutting their stuff and we hoisted our skull and crossbones (i.e. claimed the keep while our dear enemy were on the doors) and toodled downstairs to give them a proper welcome - as you do

A brief artillery barrage and they were gone, (not killed) so we decided to take a wander and return to finish them off when they tried again. Which we did when they did. Then we got a call about some heavy inc in Odins and returned only to find the same guild about to have a pop at Nott in Jamtland with some reinforcements (which unfortunately for them we also had).

Sorry Centuri - we go back a long way in another galaxy m8 and you didnt deserve that <coughs> but nice doing battle with you after all this time and /Salute to you and your guild for a good clean fight at Beno and a nice chase from Nott. A pity your guys hit the Icestriders and Wyverns, which made that second fight a bit one-sided. Also /salutes Keepers of the Light for making an effort to get your realms keeps back after (I think) they were in Middie hands for 24hrs. Nice to see some Albs give a damn about their own frontier.

A word of caution though...a relic can in my estimation be taken relatively easily with only two keeps down, so I suggest Albions not leave theirs in enemy hands for so long in future in case we get tempted to have another pop at Excalibur

Yes thats what I told the albs.

<Cerverloc> Oh guys a powerrelicraid on Hibernia. Nice! Shouldn't we first take a few of their keeps? It would be easier to take the relic keep then. Less spawns and all. <Albion Zerg>Nahhh we almost got 2 doors down last time with only 40 people. <Cerverloc> Hmm sigh there we go again. <10 silly minutes later> <Cerverloc>/release another failed attempt on the relic.

You might be the clown of albion but albion itself is full of it. Stupid clowns that is.

The fight at nottmoor was quite fun , managed to take 3 out before I went down even tho they were all hitting & nuking me (MAYBE IM TEH NEW L33T KARAM??!)

 

[old.[BF]MaD]

mmm cerverloc

it was not the alb zerg that said that , it was me , and i had seen it done , and we would have gotten the doors down , if only u had listened to me , like ur GM khalen said when we were at the slopes of dagda and every little tincan was fighting his own purple con guard instead of taking em one by one

ty very much

edit :and as i said IN THE CG IF U WOULD LISTEN

keepers of the light told me they were going for our keeps while we did a TESTRAID on hib power , so i saw no need to allocate 50 ppl to 2 keeps that were already being taken....

 

[-yoda-]

relics can be taken with no keeps down .
ive been on a relic raid on us servers and with no keeps down "and NOWHERE near as many albs that we get for relic raids here" got both doors down and the 3rd door to 50% before the caster dudes respawned same time small army of mids arrived n finished us off . to make a relic raid successfull with no keeps down is upto the uber casters on the walla to be contained , keeps the casters dead and it can be done . "the fast respawn doesnt help either" but its doable .

 

[Yali Hinata]

those damn wyverns got me

and how the hell did you get from Beno to Nott in that short time?? do you have a portable teleporter??

maybe its just me but i didnt think us releasing and going to Nott did take that long....

 

[Killgorde]

We got lucky at tk with the gothis

 

[Cerverloc]

For your information Mad I was at the relic raid with my scout and not with my armsman. Furthermore I don't know how many relic raids you have been on but It's obvious not enough to make you believe taking keeps in advance is vital for the succes of a relic raid in 1.50+ patches.

ty very much

 

[Killgorde]

It takes 1FG 50's to contain 3 relic guards if they are well balanced group. So 60 peeps should manage a 7 keep relic no problem if they are working well together. I say "contain" because whether you kill them or not is irrelevant with the respawn rate...just keeping them busy and away from your ram crews is all that is really needed. Middies probably have an advantage here, however, with more versatile mezz/stun options.

Note: The fire wizards on the last raid were not a major factor, strangely.

Hey killgorde was nice seeing you m8 and nice fighting. With beno we almost had it first time i knew we had no chance since about 14 people cant take a lvl 10 defended keep with at least 8 of you inside so i decided to head back and about 3 minutes later i saw you and your guildes run straight pasted us so i thought we might aswell go and take beno, got there took a few guards out and got straight on the doors if you had given us another 5 minutes we would have had that second door down and be on the guard. Was wondering how did you know we was taking the keep? We had one enemy run in and within 1 minute you lot was back.

Also with nottmore i told the albs to run E cause i knew there where orange mobs there to a lvl 50 and i was hoping the albs would get past without getting any agro and you guys would pick up some agro giving us an advantage but half the albs didn't move out fast enough and a few got agro

But there will be more battles and i am sure we will meet each other again in the near future.
