Can't see how that would be lame since you took yours back at 7am *shrugs*



Agreed :)


I think it's bad too, I'm mostly pointing out that lame or not it happens, best to get on with it especially as relic movements keep the game interesting, rvr never stopped in the past because of it.

Hmmm and 5/6 am isnt dawn ?

/quote Will you have a lot of fun if 100 albs decide to do a relic raid against you at 6 AM? are you sure? where's the fun in that? maybe i'm blind, but i CANT find that "fun" in wakeing (sp?) up at a normal hour only to see that a bunch of no-life kids fought some NPCs after set an alarmclock and stole something i had after a hard RvR session /quote

Reference to post 219

Im surprised that the one that complains so easily counts 100 albs zerging at late nights without any doubt or hesitation. Like he's very familiar with the numbers of albs easily brought into zerges. Then overseeing thats exactly why hibs decided to do a late night zerg. Coz of facing sheer numbers of albs where 100 albs is a very normal thing to stand up against.

then reference to post 224

/quote
take a tower then at night, defend it and then bring your zergforce during day, no alb(zerg) will be able to port into the keep and you should be able to stop the inc albs. but if your brain couldnt figure out this easy tactic, continue your whine about underpopulation /quote

I mean seriously. Are you albs really that blind that you cant see the numbers you have vs numbers of hibs / mids ? I mean how often do you people play? you can complain about the hibs doing late night zerges having no life but from the experience i see you guys have you must not be playing rvr alot. If you did play rvr alot you'd surely notice the difference in numbers when it comes to albs vs mids / hibs.

Excuse me for saying this to the albs here that make such silly remarks and then with pride blatendly threaten hibs and mids to take their relics, heavily counting on their numbers and more importantly knowing they have the numbers, to be absolutely ignorant (and i know thank god most of the albs dont so i do not intend to offend those albs.).

To not see the difference in numbers day in day out any time of the day you must seriously lack brains or any talent to do some simple calculations every time you guys go take a keep/ tower or defend one.
Either that or you just dont play alot of rvr which in turn means you are speaking without knowledge.

Judging by some of the alb replies here and their total lack of judging any numbered situation i cannot blame hibs or mids saying albs are absolutely clueless players. I mean common already, it doesnt take a genius to notice whats going on when it comes to numbers.

Bledmeer has become albs playground for many weeks now. You ask why?

Simply coz mids are the easier ones to farm, they lack alot of ranged attacks/classes (before they can get in meelee range most are nuked and shot to pieces anyway) and nowadays also severely lack the numbers.

Every time (im a ranger) i go visit bledmeer to snipe some i see the place crowded with albs all over the place (forcing mids to stay very near their keep under protection of the npc's) normally heavily outnumbering a couple mids who try to get some rps from bledmeer keep and its bridge vs the alb zerg that are brutal enough to go so close to the keep they aggro guards and deal with those while killing mids. I bet most of the time its even a pain for any mid to get to their docks from bledmeer without getting killed by albs that absolutely control the area most of the time.

Dont tell me this is skill,this is a simple number difference.
If some of you albs cant see that then im very sorry but you are completely clueless and no wonder albs have the name of a clueless no skill zerg realm.
I mean how ignorant can you be ? Open yer bloody eyes already.

Instead of whining, and i say again i do not condone late night raids but if thats the only answer to keep rvr interresting for the months to come then so be it, be happy for the game called DAOC RVR because if you would keep all relics (minus one and the lack of either wanting to get flamed or organization to take the last one) and keep on outzerging both mid and hib in the aftergame you wont have anyone to zerg at in a few months from now and this is not a joke. This is simply how the current state of nf is. Not thanx to albs mind you but thanks to mythic in their ignorance but to deny alb numbers is like whining without playing rvr thus having no knowlege of the current situation in nf.

We all agree mythic sux and cant seem to do anything right in the game called DAOC but to totally ignore the obvious, which would be numbers + range mage a huge difference in NF is just plain ignorant. Its even more ignorant to say you dont have both. End of story.

that line is a copy paste from IRC, not your BG.

Aussie calm down take a chill pill did I hit a nerve.

you claim you don't care about Daoc but you the biggest poster on FH and for someone who doesn't care what we doing up so early and So interested in what the Daoc community was doing especially Hibbies.

I Feel you got a strong desire to return to Daoc but as a Hibbie :p Well if you do you will only be joining with the some of Alb scouts who seem to find green lands of Hibernia welcoming.

Aussie come out Closet m8 TNN could do with a new Village Idiot :worthy:

Did you know that in the medieval times their was an armour called Brigantine historically it used over (when ever possible) chain mail on the battlefield, it has even been able to stop arrows.

This is a rather good internal shot of a period Brigantine, the red arrow points out where the brig stopped an arrow.

now my question, if this is correct and the armour it self is much like scale (hibs - plate) then can we have full imuneity to arrows while wearing it, the answer NO, because its a FANTASY GAME, we dont follow MEDIVEAL REAL LIFE RULES.

ok?

gotta hand it to you...creative post
The reason however alarmclock raids are crap is because all 3 realms will start doing it, the fun with big battles gonna dissapear and the only fight will be vs npc....unless we skip our IRL to be up watcing relics all nights long.
But thats what hibs want i guess

Get a map to the Clue store. I guess you're pretty new to this game since you obviously don't know that Albs finest pulled of some 3-4 NPCkillonly raids on Mids in OF.

Now give it a rest ffs. it's just a game after all and we all know what gonna happen in a few days, just like what happened when us kind mids gave you poor albs one relic back.

Huh?

First of all, you have no idea how much time I spent playing this game.

Second, you're missing the point. What I was trying to say, is that I find it a bit ridiculous to say "Well done" to a bunch of guys that managed to kill a few NPCs at 7am, be it Hibs, Mids or Albs. The hard part is getting out of bed :/

Third, if it's "just a game" it's pretty remarkable that 50 people get up at 5am to move a bunch of binary digits from one place to another, don't you think?

Seriously, I don't want to whine about the AC raid. I understand it must be very frustrating playing in an underpopulated realm, and I can also understand why some players think an AC raid is the only solution to the problem. Most of the frustration I felt yesterday comes from the fact that wherever I go I hear "Albs can only zerg", "Albs have no skill" etc. If realm A has 300 players in the frontiers, and realm B and C have 100, what can realm A do about it? The players can't change the game, we have to rely on Mythic to find a solution to the balance problem before the Hib and Mid people leave DAoC.

/salute to the Hibs and Mids still trying

Brigantine would stop arrows at long range - medium to short range the English longbow would punch through that like it just wasn't there. Hence the development of full plate armour, which at its height would offer full manouverability, fit like a tailormade suit and stop virtually any arrow/bolt (at poit blank the arrow from an English longbow could pierce it, but the padding underneath would prevent any critical injury).

Hibs didn't made any Gay Raids the past 3+ Years while Albs and Mids have beaten eachother with Alarmclock/Engage/Zerg/Necro/Whatever strange Relic Raids.

Nothing new. xD

Grats Hibs for the first Hib Alarmclock Raid! (Iam serious)

And for the Albs:

Those Raids are fun, aren't they?

hehe, and the award for being correct goes to you, the padding is called a Gambeson and would look something like this

yes we have tryed and we couldnt even hold 1 tower, lol 1 time mids toke beno while we attacked eras both mids and hibs got zerged by albs at the same time so even mids and hibs together cant come up the numbers albs got at prime time

Albs have more population because of x-realming Mids/Hibs.

Met alot mids which activated(their old)/bought/traded alb accounts.

And for the Albs:

Those Raids are fun, aren't they?


and they keep finding new excuses to justify alarmclock raids....
does it matter who started etc???
If noone stops doing them its never gonna end, comman guys noone wanna see relics has been removed etc at 7 in the morning...
Dont tell me u wouldnt care if albs did it to Hibs or mids to us or whatever...
everybody get pissed if it happens to them.
Still all this yay us we are so good, grats hibs for a good raid etc keeps on comminh here....talk about double morale...
oh and btw of those 3 years u mention...how many years have albion got the relics and how many years has hibs and mids got theirs?
another question....how much did albs whine about not having relics etc etc?
I can admit log in raid was probably albion who started with ( i dont know for sure) about alarmclock raids i got no clue....thing is whoever the fuck started them doesnt matter...what do matter however is that they gotta stop!
With that "Hey albs did it so we can too" mentality you could also say Hey that bankrobber stole alot of money so its ok if i do it too...and so on, just think of it (ok not best example but you know what im getting at dont you?)
So instead fo joining in on the "bad track" you should have set a good example instead...but no hibs are the same.
All 3 realms has done alarmclock raids i suppose, so basically all 3 realms has been lame at some point....but to claim it was justified too thats beyond lame, its no fucking word for it!

Well it depends on how people decide to play the game, I've done it too and nothing wrong with it imo. All are free to disagree of course.

A majority of players feel that way and a minority don't. it's always a few idiots that raise their voices above all others and it's they who gets the attention. Not much we can do about it.

/salute to the Hibs and Mids still trying

we can agree to disagree :) or the other way around.

Hmmmm I guess this makes the Albs cowards. :)

As far as I remember the albs took the mid relic in the middle of the night (I sure remember I had to log out at 1 am, because I had to get to work next day). Oh yes you started the raid 10 hours before, but you still took the relic in the middle of the night when most had gone to bed. There is a slight difference between taking a relic at 4 am (when the albs did it) and 7 am (when the hibs did it), but it sure is a fine line you are walking. Taking in account the population size of the 2 realms the line even gets more narrow. The devils advocate could say the hibs did just beat you in our own game (bringing home relics at very odd hours). The difference is diffinately very small between the way the hibs did it and the albs did it. So be a little slower to call the hibs cowards when you has a muddy past yourself.
