Our future as a realm

[Meduza]

When you come back with the "7 RVR dedicated alb guilds which are interested in taking, retaking and retaking those relics forever at any hour on every day" maybe we will...

hahahhaahahhaahhahahhahhah



ive been w8ing for that in a looong time... Aussie bragged and bragged and bragged and and and... well, seems like it was all BS :kissit:

well, what do u expect from an attention seeking kiddie who finally managed to pull a few guilds together...

 

[Rain]

Atleast he DID get together those few guilds to do it a few times. Did you?

Despite the fact that I posted that, I don't think Aussie was bragging (well maybe a little) and I wouldn't call him an attention seeking kiddie. Sometimes you say stuff in the heat of things that are a little... shall we say exaggerated I was just doing a bit of minor piss-taking of "The King" I'd rather this didn't turn into a "slag off Aussie" session as (1) I don't know him personally, and (2) as someone else said, at least he got off his arse and did something.

Basic keep crap
(as i see it and not set in stone and by no means a set of rules for all to follow(in short, ignore ))

Get a trade, Even if you have little intrest in crafting, Take a mundian 1 for now, Level it to 300. Get 300 woodworking, This will give you a very limited ability to repair and upgrade doors, To around lvl 6'sih. Go to 500 if you can stand it. Also 500 ww.

Open Seigecraft trade and make Ammo, Cost is around 20g to get 68 seigecraft, This is the cap.

You now have, The ability to repair and upgrade soon doors, And you have grey seige engines and ammo, This means you can Half time craft em and salvage em for wood if need be.

Next is to go cam hills or somit and just play around. Build a treb, Check min and max range on it, Make macros. /macro RAM /control and /macro RelRAM /controlrelease (think thats right, short term memory ) Make em for all seigeengines. Have a seige qbar. Store a ram/treb/other 1 in your vault. (few k lvl 50s on alb excal, Thats a few engines ). lUse /groundassist with others to get max damage output. And enjoy seigewarfare, Its a good laugh

When we have relics we do defend our frontier, but when theres no relics theres no reason to bother, its the same in midgard, soon as they lost all the relics they stopped defending there keeps too.

Attacking a defended keep means your going to get farmed, plain and simple, if you have no relics theres no incentive to give away free rps.

Its why we farm Fens, we know they have to come and get farmed or risk losing the relics, they know it too but have to come anyway.

But keeptakes happen often enough in Emain and that’s where all the RvR action is, but the level of communication, teamwork between all the groups there (unless it is all the almighty zerg) I think is pretty poor. Thats something that can be improved upon without leaving Emain, if people put their minds to it.

Not trying to tread on anyone's toes here, just trying to make a few suggestions as to how we can improve as a realm. Can't hurt can it?

If you really want to get people taking and defending keeps, then the best bet is to be proactive. Get a group or 2 together, get the proper siege equipment and join the emain cg. Let people know that you have the equipment and state which keeps you are intending to take and then defend. Have a plan in mind, such as taking 2 or 3 keeps and concentrating on defending one in particular (the one that is strategically most important). Much more likely to get a positive response than the usual /c Lets take come keeps!111!! that comes from people who often dont even have a ram. Not everyone will be interested, in fact the majority may not be. But if you perservere, are properly organised and have a genuine interest (rather than just browbeating people into keep takes so you can get df) then you are more likely to get a response.

nope!

 

[Sendraks]

Bracken, thank you, that is a really good piece of advice.

Fortunately, keep retaking, defending brings players RPs in NF. Hope this will attract albioners to keep more "realistic" war effort (keep defending, retaking etc.)

One thing is sure... we need practice sooner then it is too late.

Shame we don't have private forums to make planned raids and such.

If we want to survive in NF, we're going to have to take keeps frequently and DEFEND them. Not once in my 20 days /play'd have I seen a force defend a keep, and overpower the enemy. Well this is a lie, I've seen it twice, but it was at a possible relic raid attack, so there was no choice.. but given the choice most people would rather go emain then sit at a keep defending it.

I think you need ask with theres alb guild, with only 1 or 2 guys on line all the day, or without alliance, or cant upgrade keep to lvl 10, or dont repair the door, stop claim keeps.... later they said on pad: help on XXXX keep, when the 2º door is 5% already......... uke:

 

[HerculesPluto]

I think people would attack and or defend keeps a bit more in the current rvr setup if we gained something from it, say +rps if we hold a certain amount of keeps, +rps for battle inside or near a keep, dunno perhaps +1000 rps if we still hold the keep we took 30 mins prior to encourage defending a bit more, the keeps would at least be full of bbs and solo wizzies to alert of any activities

i can think of maybe 2 ways what might help in organising albs.

1. maybe only 1 alliance, or just a few.

2. a realm wide chatgroup, but would need to be policed well to stop spammer's.

1. Would last, oh, a day...

2. Define spam

All we need is someone to create a private forum for the albs, and put all our secret plans in there.

And if you say me, no, I'm no good at php/sql ><

 

[Honza]

Making a forum using phpbb2 or similar engine is no problem. Trouble is, how to secure it against spies...
