LOE Burn enemy Battlekeep

[vayasen]

Last night Lords of England attacked and burnt an enemy Battlekeep.

Now, the destruction of buildings was fun, as you get the gates down they are hanging off the hinges, the buildings start to collapse and burn. (see pics)

One problem, after breaching the inner gate, we went rigth for the jugular, we destroyed their Keep Structure.

Well,, seemed like a good plan, but it ENDED the siege instantly, we couldnt attack any more buildings and the seige ended with a loss for us lol. Seems odd when we could have burnt every building in there.

Ah well.:england:

 

[eksdee]

haha. nice one. who's keep was it?

also, how is your raiding going? nikon was asking me some questions about kylikki's the other day

 

[taB]

Looks great!

Have just signed on with these guys so hope to get in on the action soon

 

[LordjOX]

Where are the defenders btw? Did they give up?

 

[vayasen]

We delayed the attack. The siege vulnerability started at 5PM, but we only moved in aroudn 5.30. Im guessing by then they had either had enough waiting or figured nobody was actually attacking.

We will revist them and attack more conventionally this time, prefer some fightback ;]


Also this time we will know not to attack the Keep structure first and end the Siege prematurely. That gets left till last this time around heh.

Ill take some more pics when we attack.

 

[Ctuchik]

how the hell do you guys get enough minigames to assault battle keeps? theres NEVER one up when i wanna do one

 

[vayasen]

Dont need to do Mini games. You need a Tier 3 keep to delcare siege.

 

[Ctuchik]

ooooooooooh

 

[dee777]

You only need points from minigames, if two guilds want to attack the same battlekeep during the same vulnerability window. Then the guild with more points is supposed to win the chance to attack. Its unclear ATM how many points will be deducted tho.

Tbfh I pay 15 Euro a month, I want to be able to raid any battle keep with my 1-man-guild full of level 20 twinks.

So fucking what if The Phoenix Legion farmed my twinks with a semi-set group in the mini games and got the points, no one can force the MMO part in a RPG on me though I want the same rights as those power gaming guilds!11oneone1
</sarcasm>

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I thought AoC would be some kind over Neverwinter Nights III or some kind of DAoC 0.5, instanced and shit and never meeting anyone.

Grats LoE, I hope to see you out there once my chars are 80 (will take some, I have a life ).
:lol:

Isn't LOE the same people that have been camping resurrection points recently?

Just saying what I've heard on Dagon OOC etc. I haven't even tried PVP yet.

I would be quite suprised if that were true, would not be happy about it if it is true as I have experienced the sharp end of of that myself and is totally lame. If anyone sees an LoE member doing this please let me know and I will have serious words, our guild tries to do things the right way and we don't want it ruined by events like that.

 

[vayasen]

Ive know nothing at all about this whatsoever.

Only one thing springs to mind. Did somebody shout LOE ARE CAMPED AT THE REZ POINT in chat?

If so im guessing its down to our Siege of Avatars. On both Sieges we assembled in the PVP zone at the rez point, to mount our attack.


Point1- During a Seige defence, the defenders rez INSIDE their Battlekeep, not at the zones Rez point

Point2 During a seige no1 else can even enter the zone, they get booted out, its just the attackers and defenders in there (crappy).


Us meeting at the rez point had no impact on any1 at all, nobody would ever have rezzed there during our attack, it was impossible.

Annoying how these silly rumours spead ;/

 

[LordjOX]

Okay better luck next time then.

What wait... noone else can enter the zone while a siege is going on? Then I reckon there are more Border Kingdom zones than just the one. Or is PVP off-limits on PVE servers when someone is doing a siege?

There are 3 main RVR areas, each holds upto 3 Battlekeeps.

Lets pretend for a minute that the guild to the south of us in our zone, is under a booked siege between 8pm and 10PM.

During this time, nobody else can enter that zone apart from the defenders and the attackers.

So us, as LOE for example, cant even go to our own BK inbetween those times. If we were there in the area when the siege bagan, we woud be booted to Conarch Village.



Also if its general PVPing without a booked siege, everyonbody (apart from the guilds that have BKs in that zone) all rez in the same spot.

To draw on the past, its kinda like fighting in Emain, but ALL the hibs, Mids and Albs spawn in the same place upon death, apart from the guild that owned DC at the time. Good plan eh?


If there is a siege on in each of the three areas (not unheard of) nobody at all apart from the attackers and defenders of those 3 Keeps (1 in each zone) would be able to enter the RVR areas at all.

 

[Ctuchik]

i wonder where their "immersive pvp" is. anyone found it yet?

 

[Turamber]

Congrats LoE. Have to admit I'm 99% done with this game and Funcom's 'nerfs before content' approach to running a MMOG. But reading this almost makes me wish I had a character of a level high enough to take part.

Almost

 

[vayasen]

I doubt you would pass our entrance tests tbh M8.


Some people fall at the first hurdle, having to run naked trhough their local park shouting at ducks.

Others fall foul of or strict personal hygene rules (brought in after DAOC obviously)

But the third, a full hour talking to solitas/Lakarell and Undyingangel in Vent breaks most people!

:england:

Totally agree bud, the last 6 patches have done untold damage to a game that had great potential.

They drive us quackers....

I wouldn't sit on Vayasen's back, the smell would be overwhelming making my eyes unable to focus.

so....is the game still horribly broken? Now i have real internets back again I am wondering if i should resub

 

[dee777]

Seems a lot of bashers and fanbois alike have quit. I still like the game, tho the last few patches hurt the client a good deal. They upped the stability but introduced a fat memoryleak. Also for a couple of guys the shader implementation is buggy (never encountered it myself on my 8800GT, so cant tell you more).

Guild cities and battlekeeps give bonuses by now, they started introducing the PvP revamp (special stats for PvP resistances and ratings are in), a good deal of the keep-wall-geometry-exploits were fixed and open realmzone PvP starts to get going. So far its more or less once per week in lacheish plains, but people are eager to do it more.

I presume once the pvp rewards and the pvp levels are in, you ll see more action in the boderkingdoms, however thats speculation of course.

Rumor has it that some Raidimprovements were implemented, but I dont care about raiding so I didnt follow that at all.

Patch cycle was changed to once a week, which seems to help the patchquality. Maybe the open testlive servers did their share as well, I dont know.

HTH

Funcom didint deliver what they promised thats still a fact.
2 months in and the crafting, user interface, feats, training points and quest gaps are still broken to a degree of unplayabillity(word?).
The instancing and missing end game was not what was advertised on the box. The epic scale keep battles where, but how can you fight when you cant login, or just enter the battle zone to defend you're keep. How can you craft when you need to login/out between each point, or the resources needed don't drop anywhere.

And yes im bitter, we (HB) did our part, big successful dedicated community, exploring,
raiding and PvPing but people lost the will to logon because of a broken game.
Read the server forums, loads of guilds are merging and people looking for guild because guilds turn deserted over night.

I feel bad for Funcom, how can they use so many resources on creating something, and then failing so bad. They need atleast another 6 months before the game is ready to release.

The people with active subs still are the once who payed for 6 months because they thought they where smart, or they are simply in denial.

If you want to play something until Warhammer Online, play WoW, nough' said.

BTW, I am neither in denial, nor on a 6 month sub, I am just enjoying the game for what it is ATM. I wont go into detail about the rest of your nerdrage. It bores me.

Name calling wont help bring you're point across. Neither will linking to wikipedia.
I'm glad you have found something you enjoy. You are free to play anything you want. But how can you say AOC is what it was promised to be? How can you be happy with the current state of the game? I can understand you could sticking to it, hoping for improvements but thats something different.

Good luck with AOC, I canceled with the rest.

 

[dee777]

Sorry for derailing the thread, this was not intended. I hope MesS° and me can agree on disagreeing after this post.

If you start a paragraph with "thats a fact", people can expect you to be at least semi-objective. You were venting to a degree of spindoctoring. I was trying to get that point across without having to type it out. Obviously that didnt work...

I am very happy with the game AS IS. It gives me lots of stuff to do and leveling (not powerleveling!) a few characters is fun. My bearshaman plays completely different from my necro or my ranger. Its good fun to me. I got a nice guild and a few RL friends. The game could be better, of course, but its still early in the lifespan (hopefully it does not go the way of TR) and I remember DAoCs and WoWs early days. I also had fun with those even at early stages, BTW.

I am also happy that you talk with your wallet and cancel your sub, since you obviously dont like to play.

I am not happy when you write your oppinion about something on a public forum and declare it as "fact". Thats just not ok.

Can we now agree on disagreeing?
