Hib Landscape Cleansed

ur parents must be proud that they reared such an annoying bastard as u, bet u finished top of yer class as well muahhahahah

curses, i was 11 minutes too hopeful

As Tesla said last night our grp (TR) joined up with his GG due to the overwhelping alb and hib zerg that was out as it was the logical way to try and fight back.

The first hour or 2 we jsut got steamrolled so it was obvious only way to fight was zerg vs zerg and actually was a bit of fun - Im not usually a fan of zerg vs zerg but when there is THAT many enemies running on stick at times there aint many other options.

In the end the mid zerg did seem to rule emain but took a while after us gettin zerged to death a few times but there were some good fights to be had and some fun

what a load of bollox, u zerged because u couldnt beat any hib group fg vs. fg, the hib bg started about 22:30 bst and consisted of 20 people max

Overwhelming alb zerg? Wasnt on to early in the evening, but when I started running in a grp we always got adds by 2fgs+ of either hibs or mids, had a few nice fights, but as far as i saw there was only 2fgs of albs out, and they did not communicate, but I didnt see the overwhelming alb zerg anywhere.

 

[Zede]

Can hibs please take all the crim towers so we can have some decent "insta" rvr action, that run from bolg to crauch is to small, full of orrible' mobs and crappy los hills !!!

We gone to adders to zergers thanks to Elendar's & Co Urban Legends, next step Paradise?

 

[Maeloch]

Not much to talk about really. Two port keeps next to each other, the only convienent route between them is a short, 3000 unit wide coastline strip = insta rvr on crack. Moreso I think than with the other port keep scenarios we've had.

Can't blame mids for zerging, early on was about 4 hib ggs or quasi-ggs running about and I guess they got better things to do than get chain farmed. After about 11pm was much less hib grps running, but midzerg still about, so leftover hibs made a counter one. Hibs got sick of mids in the end, so cut off middie port.

 

[VidX]

i know nfd may not believe this, but a fg is not 20 people

and they weren't running more than 1fg until about 10.30, as said.

Normal groups mightn't have noticed it due to the fact the hibs always arrived where the Mid/Alb zerg was at the same time or within 15 seconds, simply due to the fact there was a few Hib stealthers doing a very good job of reporting where the lag was.

Trust me, the only Albs that I seen running 1fg were the semi-PE group later in the night and Killerbees group earlier, the only Mid one I seen running as 1fg was BaF I think, who, might I add, actually walked on past fighting stealthers, cheers

 

[Cromcruaich]

NFD were running GG1 as usual last night, it was clear pretty much straight away that mids were running 3fg zerg from the off. No hib groups were running as more than 1fg (though ofcourse there was probably the odd extra tagging along on CTR with some groups though not ours).

We persisted with it until about 10:30-11 as things were still fun, but decided it was time to give em a kicking so got a bit of a zerg together ourselves.

TBH i dont really care if people go around in 3fg's its all part of the game and from their side perfectly undertandable as they'd probably be getting owned by GG's if they ran as 8.

It actually was quite fun getting our own bg together and going out enmass - made a change from the usual 8.

so thanks all, as long as you keep rvr'in i'm a happy bunny.

rofl - not fussed when the hib bg started tbh and our gg started a lot earlier than 22:30 bst and there were a shitload of hibs out - as in no single fg's to fight and they were steamrolling everything that we came near.

Not as many albs no but mroe than 2fg from what we saw but still plenty enough to call it a zerg fest tho - it seemed to quieten down around 10ish bst but by then there were more mids than hibs and albs.

we can't port to Crim because of the supply line rule last patch. Crauch is our only port and you guys are camping there !

So it is down the the narrow strip of doom I am afraid for the foreseeable future.

 

[stupeh]

the usual 8

+ 8 that are already fighting?

opps, sorry

maybe we can take some middie keeps, and take the right ones this time !!

We had replacement problems and with 6 ppl we didnt want to meet with the mids

Mids were zerging slightly earlier as well yesterday but not with 5 fg while hibs werent zerging, they ran a lot in adding range tho (sometimes they couldnt resist ^^)

ahhh look its mini-elendar, what ya got to say mini-elendar?

then why take crim back and not crauch ? only yourselves to blame

only yourselves to blame for mids zerging aswell, and hibs always run fg when there no other groups out off peak :worthy: but i suppose thats tictacs ye? then the fg gets beat and logs keke

 

[Gamah]

Albs zerg Blog back and we couldn';t stop it because we just don't have the numbers.

Lol, there was about 12 albs taking that keep..and about 8 hibs inside 2 of which were ani's making it uberhard to get it back..only because there was a decent fg there we pwned the rog hibs.

When we came to take the keep there must of been 15hibs standing around outside untill we bombed them.

To be honest I do not really mind what goes on in the frontiers. I play in zergs 'cause I am a casual player who has not really got the time for ToA. I have very little hope of ever becoming competitive. I can however play as a fairly decent member of a zerg because well the equipment is not really essential there.

What I really dislike is the kind of mob rule camping bridges and towers. If I see a keep under attack or siege and I am online I go there - it is much more meaningful for someone who really can't do much other than stand in a big group. So I was at Blog this week defending til the Albs got it.

On Wednesday night I was in my first ever 8v8 roaming group and really enjoyed it. I can see why people like it now. Once the group logged I spent the evening trying to have fun by running in another group in that area but after the 4th wipe by Albs and Mids some fo the group got fed up and logged. In the end we tried to take a tower back with a fairly imbalanced fg but got zerged to hell and so I logged - haven't been online since.

So it was nice to read today that the zergs decided to zerg each other rather than camp. It is simply a pity that they don't take each others towers... that way they would be busy and probably out of the way of the people who want to do the 8v8 and solo thing?

guard death spam was giving 20-30 Albs in the area so you point is mystifying me. Maybe the other half of your zerg was a bunch of scouts and you couldn't see them either?

I actually had a good night there Gamah so it wasn't a whine you had the door down at one stage and we thought it was all over - I never found out if it was a hibbie fg that took you guys out?

My point remains we cannot produce big numbers on a constant basis so to say we are the zergy realm is a misnomer.

 

[Xxcalibur]

Last night was good fun. We started with a FG but either were outclassed or got jumped first by one, then another and finally a third group of enemies, so we opted to run with friends. At first one FG joined (CC), and later a second FG (TR) joined. No idea how many soloers ran along - 2 or 3 warlocks, but most of the zerg were ordinary groups.

It was fun - lasted till midnight for me, then I logged. Made about 41K in RPs, a complete new record for me. Some of the fights were unevenly matched, some were pretty balanced.

No way in hell that my RR2-RR6 midgroup could deal with the high RR Alb and Hibgroups, so teaming up was the logical thing to do. Had a great night - and yes, we were slaughtered by the Alb and Hibzergs in return just as well. Not like we are undefeatable.

after you mids keep running +4 full groups on stick since 10 cet till 0:30 cet, these are the conclusions :

1. we take back DC
2. Be sure the next time i see 4 fg on stick , i will ask Eclipse/golden age/nfd or legacy to build a high rr zerg and chain kill you.

I can understand see 2 fg randoms on stick, but i cant understand 4 fg "semi opted" on stick.

So take care next time you build 4 fg

I have no clue what your second paragraph is referring to. Not a spelling whine just simply I cannot understand your point. Its like a kind of short hand without logic or sentences... Try to make your point again if you think it is worth making.

As for the first point we can't take it back because the Hibbie zerg is part-time not full time like yours my friend. Of course that does not mean they are not zergy it just means they are not really around as much as some of you seem to think. When we zerg we do it well - that much is true. However - we have no monopoly on zerginess nor on skill. The Mids and Albs were very impressive on the relic raid...

I know this is FH and all but you should not assume that every post is a whine you know ;p

The keep was undersiege from late evening, it was taken at about 3am. Gamah is correct, there were no more than 12 albs who eventually took the keep, and deffo enough Hibs there to defend well enough.

i was in the area and i bet there was a shit load of bots at the tower and maybe a few stealthers

but it shows how little they where when i turned up sneaked around for a bit, dumped twf down and took out 3 people in gamahs group and was about to take the 4 before the wanker scouts started hitting me all the way from hadrians wall or somthing

I see well I logged after 11pm because I have work.

What you have said still confirms my point even more - at that time the Hibbies did not have a zerg out. By your account neither did you. So the original point about Hib zergyness still doesn't hold...

I cannot see why we are still getting labelled as the zergy realm....

it all seems despite the evidence - evidence that you are confirming as you speak.

It's not difficult to understand, he's saying that through-out the offpeak time of the day, you've always got hibs running opted fg's while albs and mids have no more than 2-3 players grouped. All you do is run around and farm soloers with your high rr's who really couldnt handle anything over a group of 5.

sorry i have no clue what your post is about as its total bullshit

as i was saying is that mids where zerging because you had shit loads of groups adding from all over

and hibs do run fgs during the day when there fuck all to kill but solo/duos, so you do zerg all the time, its just bullshit that you say the zerg is part time? Wouldnt mind as much but if the hibs wanna run a fg, they can do that, but if you make a fg to compete and then kill them they just log, QQ cant win by numbers better log!

Well your no doubt right that later that night there was not many around. Earlier that night before 11pm there were a lot more Albs. We had around 1 1/2 groups defending earlier. My point still stands where is the Hib zerg that seems to be out 24/7 in some peoples eyes?

It sounds like the high rr groups got together last night and gave some back but to be honest the casual Hibbies I know have all been on ML's and arti raids. Like I said I just don't get the qq about Hib zerg.

Ahhh so can you define 'zerg' because clearly we work to different definitions - once we sort that out I might actually begin to get it.

edit: you somehow managed to contradict yourself in one sentence which I find amazing. Given your obvious brilliance I am betting I might not get the definition of zerg you give either but - hey we can only hope.

 

[Gamah]

No realm can sustain big numbers all the time, I can name countless times where there was 1/2fg hibs about and like 5 albs..every realm has its quiet time.

You make it sound as though albion always has 200 people ready to take a relic, thats just not true, in the "depression" albion was a desolate place in RvR..hibs were zerging everywhere and mids were not to be seen much.

Things have improved Albion numbers are strong again, however still not strong enough to outnumber hibs/mids all the time. Every realm outnumbers another realm at some point in the day, Playing all day on a weekday you will see a general pattern.

Solo'rs at 8-10am then a hib fg or 2 arrive and zerg all the solo'rs they roam around till about 1pm..get killed by and alb/mid fg..log then the alb/mids zerg till about 5pm it goes dead till about 6.30pm then the zergs appear.

This happens everyday pretty much.
