Hibs And Keep Farming

[Esoteric]

If these little shits take a keep let them have it, do not go and try to take it, all they are after is new ra's.

Wasted about 30/40 mins of good kip time at beno, f-it if they want it that bad let them have it, fecking zoo animals from a freak show.

Let them log and the next day take it back.

 

[umenel]

I enjoyed the keep battle tonite, just cos we did not get the keep back no need to get all tetchy about it

 

[blaien Kayy]

Does it really matter if they get a few rps? This game is about having fun if you dont enjoy trying to take keeps back dont do it.

Taking back an undefended keep is boring as hell as far as im concerned , i enjoy a good battle and tonight for me was a damn good laugh so what if we didnt get it back our group made a fair amount of rps in the process of trying.

 

[<Wels>]

Your first try to take a hib defended keep?

 

[blaien Kayy]

Was for me i dont get out much lolz

Never seen a luri up close.

 

[spyte]

I enjoyed it until the ranger shot me from the roof
Id rather die to hibby than an NPC i can't target still WTG Hibs on a successful Defence

Taroc Fire Wizard
Breathing Helps Paladin
Spyte Lvl 34 Infiltrator in training

 

[Piojo]

I thought it was ace tbh but then I am a hibbie

The zerg battle was also pretty ace

gg guys hope we can do it again.

Eso the point of the game is to attack/defend keeps mebbe if u don't like that then your not playing the right game?

 

[old.Cher]

the exact word i used to get the hibs to take beno where these

Guy, i'm pissed off of all the zerging in emain, and the gradual decline of rvr, that the fact that keeps mean bloody nothing anymore. so i'd like to try something, how about for once we take a keep just to defend it, just so we have fun. and not for rp's, not for Df, not even for bloody bragging rights, lets just have fun!

sorry but that was split into about 4 parts at the time since /as was silent at the time.

so i lead the raid on benowyc to have fun, its been bloody ages since we held a keep, and that means any realm, and the fact is that no one seemed to care anymore,

it shows when estoric no longer see getting his keep back as a matter of pride, he just saw it as rp's. he didn't see it as fun, all he cared about was the fact that we may have gained some rp's during the raid......sad isn't it

 

[Esoteric]

I don't see taking a keep back as fun when there is in actual fact no way you can take a keep back from hibies with planted mana elds and chanters pressing 11111111111111111111111 (mana bomb) in the lord room.

Sure its fun if you die in a damn good fight, and these days I never have that with the hibbies only with the middies. The other day had a massive battle with the mids and lost but it was superb fun.

Its nps wasn't gonna go to beno anyway, now I never will there is no point, why do you think that it took so long for us albs to actually bother, next time we won't or alot of us won't. And I am fairly sure you will get the same response if you took a mid keep, though I am unsure of the tricks they can pull out their hat against pbaoe.

Once a lord room is heavily camped by pbaoe magic people, forget it. If you keep running at it like a lemming then more fool you.

Fun to me is when there is a fair/slim chance you could win, so if you lose its no probs. If its impossible to win why the hell bother, to me its like playing David Blaine at poker.

Only way I can see to defeating hibs is by having a fair few earth wizards, I only know 2-3 and some of them have stopped playing their chars due to dropping very fast in rvr. In fact I only know 1 active earth wizard. The chances of even a couple full earth wizards at a keep take session are slim.

Im annoyed yes, show me a way to beat pbaoe in a lord room otherwise I will happily go farm cash some where or go rvr elsewhere.

You want beno that badly bloody have it.

Lot of GTAOE from the Lord's tower; SoS a sorcerer into the Lords room; infil zerg the Lord room.

There are ways to do it, problem was no one took charge of the situation when the 2nd door went down.

A few of the Alb's who have succeeded in taking a Hib defended keep were with the GTAOE'ers in the Lord's tower, but most tried a simple zerg ... and gave their RP's away freely to the chanters.

We were doing okay until NP turned up and PBAOE'd us to death, simply weren't enough of us to fight all those Hibbies.

Must disagree about Beno, Guardians of Power owns it and we want it back!!!

He's in LoE, probably the first time he's seen an Alb keep

Beno belongs to Albion, not Hibernia.

Those hibs can munch the grass from the hpk to the hmg, but once they cross the wall they're in my land and for every blade of grass they chew, there's a finer blade swinging for their throats.

 

[old.Cher]

well estoric, please if u don't want to try and get your keeps back.....don't. that way we can quite easily walk all the way up to your relics and take them

no problem with us

Silly, silly alb... we dont eat the grass, we smoke it

Oh, and next time you enter emain... dont forget who's backyard your taking a crap in...

 

[)nick(]

Yay for hibbie!

 

[old.Nikolas]

Thanks for a cracking rvr night

 

[Esoteric]

Taking a keep to farm rps and that is what you were doing cher, is a different thing to trying to take relics.

Just let turamber take charge next time thats if anyone will listen to someone who knows what they are doing.

And generic loe is a damn good guild little snide comments you can take and shove right back up ur ass. I have spent a few nights in hads wall, nice small scale rvr when you don't want to face the hib zerg.

 

[Piojo]

For gods sake stop moaning. How long has it been that we haven't had df.

We thought we'd open df for hib take a keep and have some fun whats wrong with that.

Quit the moaning if u don't like it as I said be4 mebbe u should play something else.

 

[Esoteric]

Piojo, I won't play somin else plenty of stuff to do about.

and everyone's entitled to a moan.

 

[Piojo]

We could have moaned that we hadn't had df for a week but we didn't we actually went out and did something about it.

Mebbe you should try the same thing m8

 

[Esoteric]

Naaa no point.

 

[gervase]

<scratches his chin>

There are many ways Esoteric that the Hibernians can be beaten at this game...

I am more than sure of it. Several have been mentioned in this thread, and a few havent.

Let it phase you not, for they will get their come uppance.

 

[old.Cher]

You know i'd rather be beaten around the head by any of you albs then have to listen to estoric again.

there are ways to beat us hibs, but some people prefer to zerg us and give us rp's. that is not our fault, the fact that instead of the 20 people we thought we'd have to defend the keep, the whole of the 50 or so people thought it would be fun and wait for the albs.

think we'll go to mids next time,

thanks to those albs that made it fun, and that enjoyed themselves, your welcome to come fight us anytime

just don't bring estoric with you

Must... bite... tongue....

(Hi apathy )

 

[Falcon]

Yes, I struggled to withhold myself on that one too Nicolas

 

[lairiodd]

All you need to do is GTAOE the lords room (in fact that was specifically why the spell was developed), at 9 secs per cast (I believe including the delay), 4 people with the spell (and doesnt even need to be that high a version, can chain interrupt all casters in the lords room. Combine that with superior numbers charging the room and you would have wiped us. Though as was said it needs to be coordinated. Also, I dunno how many casters you have who would have even the lowest version of it.

Also, Im pretty sure that Cher did this more for the fun of taking a keep rather + defence than getting rps. Remember the times when keep defenses used to happen a hell of a lot more than they do now. That was fun. Rvr has moved to open field as it is the optimal method of gaining rps.

 

[Esoteric]

:kissit: Hate you hibbies esp NP so so much. :wall:

:mgwhore:

 

[gonidir-baked]

I think you post was extremly pathetic, the whole idea of keeps is for then to be defended and taken and attacked, we as hibs are constantly having our keeps taken why shouldnt we fight back.

The Albs are always camping Ligen or cain which is where we enter our own frontier in order for us to do our epics etc. Hib has started to get alot stronger, I know of 15 new lvl50s within the last week including myself 2 weeks ago turning 50, and many more iam sure, now you are saying that we shouldnt be using our mages how they are spec'd with the GTAOE HEEELLLOOOOOO thats the char type ffs, its like asking your Inf's not to use stealth or poison, or your sorc to use mezz etc...

Hib is extremly underpowered in RvR compared to Mib and ALb i mean come on in one morning every single one of our frontier keeps were taken by mid and they attempted to attack our Relic keep, yes i agree about the NP factor they pissed us off too with thier zerging and blasting through everywhere, it has made it that you carnt go for some nice RvR without 3fg+ now which is stupid.

but i mean come one if you dont like keep retakin why did you spend 40mins tryin to retake Beno???????

 

[Esoteric]

I just went along, my group was the first at beno, we weren't going to attempt a re-take at all we just thought we'd give it a quick go, next time we won't bother, let you get bored then take it back.

We had all other zones covered so you couldnt escape you're little zoo pen and taking another keep would have been impossible they were all crowded.

And it was too late when we heard one of the main alliances had put a 4 hour no go zone around beno. Next time will wait till I hear all of the main alb alliance messages before going it alone. And this is serious btw when we know hibs intend to hold a keep we generally exclude going to that area, sort of like a disease waiting to dissipate. Why the hell do you think it took us so long to give it a crack in the first place? When we had the numbers already roaming about.

"Hib is extremly underpowered in RvR compared to Mib and ALb"

I really hope this isn't a serious comment.

No I am not saying don't use ur mages.

Is keep taking and defence really such a crucial part of the game?

Keep taking for df and to take relics nothing more.

 

[Falcon]

yes i agree about the NP factor they pissed us off too with thier zerging and blasting through everywhere, it has made it that you carnt go for some nice RvR without 3fg+ now which is stupid.

Speak for yourself mate, maybe in time you'll realise it's not zerging and there's actually a lot of skill and coordination as they actually destroy much larger forces which truly are zergs.

it has made it that you carnt go for some nice RvR without 3fg+ now which is stupid

Not true in the slightest either, I'm guessing you didn't do much RvR before NP came along? If you did you'd have known anything under 3fg got blitzed by Warders, SotL or the various unnamed Alb/Mid zerglings. Just be glad NP are here to subdue those now some of the time so that you CAN have some smaller skirmishes from the fragments of the 3fg clashes or the reinforcements from APK/MPK.

I agree with your other points, but please form your own opinion of NP by researching and gaining some knowledge on them instead of blurting out the bullshit rumours that float round concocted by people jealous that it's not them racking up the RPs so fast.

 

[Esoteric]

<cough> did I just see np and skill muttered in the same sentence. Heh you guys get trounced on easily if numbers are either slightly less or on a same footing. In fact I'd go as far to say as you get pwned. The only way NP can win is by running around 1.5fg-3fg against 1fg albs or mids. Oh and Im not just speaking for myself here this is the general view.

<spits on np scum>
