Ok old discussion BUT people whining about no discussions going on so here we go.
Currently in the past week or two ALL THREE realms have raided a relic keep after midnight. Hibs 1am (and a bit later on), Albs right after hibs(about 3-4am). And then mids at 2am 2nights ago.
Now, this means we on equal grounds here as to late/early (depending how you look at it) timed relic raids.
So, lets try a civil discussion here on what people think is a acceptable time to conduct such a raid.
Now, I am going to look at this logically from both sides just to get us started, but wont cover points by far.
So...
Relic raids at times such as those above! Why are they conducted.
Well, mainly the view is you got a much greater chance of completing your objective. Which is too get the relic out. The reasons for this are:
1) less chance of being spotted (see mid raid. they on door 2 before some people knew about it)
2) Not likely to be defenders when you arrive (see point 1)
3) Less available defenders, and part of good strategy is to hit the enemy when at its weakest.
4) Counter attacks are much less likely. Afteral look at the effect of mids taking hib relic. Also, look at when hibs took relic of albs and some intercepted it back when on way to Hib RK!
5) Server ability to handle large scale raids with 300+ people in zones!
ok that will do on reasons as it late
Now, I personally standing neutral on this. Thou i dont like PRE-PLANNED relic raids going at such times (aka alarm clock raids) i cant complain at the way hibs took relics and albs took advantage of situation on a spur of the moment thing.
I understand some people wanting the relics badly enough to attack when they optimise their chances, and in a battle that a good idea but im one the people that like a challenge, however i do know when a challenge ends and the impossible begins. And after countless zone crashes etc the numbers you can get for raids lowers till it pointless trying primetime. Which leaves no option.
If i thought it viable i would say never RR before 6pm bst (all europe be in from work, had dinner etc) and not after say 1am bst. (people got work etc next day). However we seen that this isnt viable so is it right that people attack at times they have in past couple off weeks, In short i say YES, but only due to server ability to handle or rather not handle large raids in certain zones. So, lets discuss about when you would rather people raid relics and reasons why.
ps. Yes im bored and just want to prove a point that in the end people will be whining, hence why i picked this subject! (later on we will have the Discuss! Stealther groups!)
edit : feck me i cant spell probably even more mistakes left!
