[old.Filip]

Not like mids didn't LD as well

i know .. thats why we continued ... thing is our LD's couldn't come back becuase of hibs .... yours could..

while defending we saw numbers of mids increase from 123 to 187

not defending your realm isnt the same as not defending your relics. We could have put 160 man in the relic keep, which would have meant that the relics were most likely safe no matter what. It wouldnt have been fun for albs nor mids, but we would have defended the relics.
The difference is that albs do defend the relics, but never defend the keeps as much as mids do.

Also mids hardly call out a 300 man zerg and albs have farmed the keep retake force just as much as the amg force of mid has farmed the albs.

Yup, whoever was defending bled against the middies must have made a s**t load of RPs so guess it all evens out in the end Anyway great fun, was on the verge of quiting but this has resparked my interest as it hopefully has for many people.

 

[Khalen]

The amount of rps I got wasn't that high but then again I only GTAOEed and not used catapult. But it was enough for MCL 2

Albion defended against all Midgard attacks while we had the relics. Just nobody online to defend against your retarded alarm clock raids.
But Middies will find something to bitch about every single time.
Even if we take them prime time it is due to numerical advantage and due to us having minstrels.

Sorry but I had to laff, you are whining about us whining, go figure! Enjoy the game, I am and yesterday was a good reason why

 

[Belomar]

For myself, I don't care one bit about the Mids bashing their chests and boasting about their RPs from last night. In my mind, Albs once again took the higher ground by doing our outmost to perform primetime large-scale RvR, and I was proud to see my realm pull together after the cowardly Mid relic raid.

 

[chronictank]

i cant believe ur complaining now cus sum of ur force ld.

Ow yeh i forgot, mids are immune to LD


As for tactics, there was nothing special from either side.
albs zerged, mids simply held amg long enuff to let the froces at bled do their thing.
The only exception possibly was bled.
Where there were only tactics involved towards the end of the battle, around 11:30.

And I have NEVER seen YOU, or any other alb, make an excuse. Overpowered LA, overpowered savages, overpowered healers, our classes sucks, we need more classes to make a balanced fg...wtf are those? EXCUSES to why you lose fg vs fg ALL the fucking time in emain. What do you do then? You use those excuses to zerg the living fucking crap out of everything that sets foot in emain. So please...

If albs provide the fun factor in the game, you provide the retarded fuckwit-factor on the forums.

In that case, how can u tell how many albs/mids/hibs there were? U only get the " a guard was killed " etc near a keep, and there aint no keeps at amg...

explain plz...

 

[Belomar]

I am sure some Mids did /who odin and forwarded the information on IRC.

 

[borf]

sad how a normal nice thread (atleast intended at being nice) can turn out in (again) a shouting match where we know all the arguments

Gifv more large scale (open) warfare!

I think the gloating tone in the initial post pretty much doomed this thread before it started.

Hey I'm a happy man and Midgard is a great place to be so /bite me - shit now I sound like a Hib, fetch the doctor !!

:bazbeer:

 

[delay]

um, i don't want to defend taking the relics in an alarmclock raid, but it did something i really appreciate.

it triggered massive RvR combat.

yes, albs held bled GOOD, yes albs held hlid good and long, yes mids camped amg hard, yes hibs were also involved, and no doubt did great deeds too...

all in all i think most of us had a good time yesterday, and i hope we can do it again some day =)

i went LD some 20 times (much because of opentransit/sprintlink, as i had 50ms ping up until hop 13, where it at times increased to as much as 1s) and my graphics were constantly worse than cartoon network

Call me kooky, but something which could have triggered the same massive rvr effect, get this it's quite novel, a prime time relic raid by Mid.

Mad, totally over the top that idea...

Surely mad indeed.

Mids would not come back after 1 failed attempt, but arrange a alarmclock raid coz they would give up after one attempt breaking through mmg/HW. uke:

Sorry middy's..im not about your effort at amg.

Nope, stupid idea. 250 mids port to HW, wiped by 400 albs at the Milegate or shortly there after.

It wouldnt, since ~250 mids would get run over by 400+ albs very fast...therefor it wouldnt get the same effect.

1 failure = alarmcolock raid for a mid

2 failures, and at the first raid albs already knew we was coming. I was on both primetime raids, I didnt bother with the morningraid. But in either case, 250 mids would get run over by 400+ albs, which was what I said first.

 

[Driwen]

actually 2, one where albs were already around with heavy numbers before the RR had started and the othere where there were 400 albs in excalibur rather fast when our RR had just started. Which leads to the conclusion that albs might have been had info off the RR and thus didnt bother with any prime time as they expected the next one again to be mentioned to the albs before it had started.
Btw I dont really care if albs had a spy or spies in midgard for the RR's, but the fact remains that some mids did think this. So gave up after 2 tries.

Try this....

Random day in emain:

1 fg mids beat 2 fg albs

random day in HW:

250 mids should be able to kick 400 albs ass

And thats when I stopped reading your posts, since you obviously are as clueless as Glottis and Acei.

Thx

well c yah I got a server to crash

 

[kirennia]

Spies happen in both realms, remember Albs had a number of relic raids cancelled due to spies also. As for the second mid raiders, some1 suciided on mpk and saw a shed load of mids in there, that's how you were discovered. There have been more then 2 also. Mids have been spotted logging out masses a few times before now, that's why we've been waiting. Don't assume it's spies just because you were spotted.

 

[lac_desariel]

Im Puzzled about these numbers games so many dont have a clue, So i wanna break it down a little


Albion IMO have the best 1 v 1 classes going as a general, Sure you got BD SM and such they rox too, but not much beats reavers, pallys in a 1 v 1,

in 8 v 8 Albion falls short, Its got nothing to do with skills or crap like that, Its known the hib and mid classes can get a wider range of attributes in to less classes where Albions are more specialised. In Large scale RvR Albion has the favor imo, they got all the abilitys of mid and hib but spread out nicely around a lot of classes,

Examlpe in midgard the healer is CC and healing

Albion needs a sorc and a cleric..

2 spaces and 1 space.. but in large scale the sorc can CC while the cleric heals and Healer cant do both at once..

dont get me wrong I love 8 v 8 fights and Alions CAN and HAVE won, hell ive been in a caster group that beat 2fg mids tanks So what it can been done both ways.

As for the way the post started, Yes i agree its fun but was there need for the bit at the end? Gloating and showing your age?
And there will be more trust me.. Albion are gonna Zerg for a long time, Cos its a LARGE scale war game, Realm V realm

No we had around half the alb zerg simoultaniously ld when we head for hlid.
Unfortunatley mids had reached hlid before a majority of the alb ld's had gotten back to the zerg and their groups. As a unfortnate cause of this lots of albs died beeing trapped behind the mid forces.
So instead of 200+ alb defenders at hlid it was closer to 100.
Alot of albs never got inside hlid, or even close to zerg and was forced to release. These albs had to fight around 4-5 fg hibs at AMG. Just as the albs managed to clear amg and was going to assist hlid defense hlid was retaken by midgard.
As Filip's guild was the ones claiming Hlid I will assume he got the numbers from the guardspam while defending it.

What a fantastic day for Midgard !! So many different encounters today from our numerous (and eventually succesful) attempts to retake Bledmeer, to our retake of Hlidskialf, to the defence of amg, where we outwitted many attacks from both Albs and Hibs, sometimes simultaneously.

3 cheers (how appropriate) for Midgard !!

Oh and thanks for the Rps, much appreciated - do come again :kissit:

Sure no problem for the rp. (damn didnt think anybody would think about those things in such a fight )

lol was funny though how u guarded MMG very ncie and albs couldnt get trough.. finaly Filip had nice idea make Speed of Sound zerg .

So after 1st attempt it failed jsut because lack of albs moving trough after SoS went trough,

2nd attempt now with 6fg albs with SoS rdy.

We again went suc6fully trough and came back to Sandwich you.. we kinda got you mids there a bit especially after we died and killed ¼ of mid army the hib forces showed up and after they killed ¼ of you only ½ mid force was left .

Altough you managed to come abck nice, smooth and fast. nice work albs there . But also nice defense from MId


(i want climb wall spots on mile gates )

Milegates are not the only way into or out of the rvr zones. That thing you call dodens, it's an impressive set of interlocking caves...

On second thoughts, I think you should stick to early morning raids, 'cos everything Mid is showing me right now says you're incapable of doing anything that requires thinking.
