Just change your main rvr-target from farming lowbies to fighting equal enemies. It will solve your problem I guess.
U dont se many +rr5 solo anymore, the stealhers run 3-zerg and the casters/tanks run gang grps, so kinda hard not to do the rr3 kills nonstop. Two days ago i think i had 2 death 50 kills, and around 150rps per kill SOLO, bit sad that most of the kills give 500 rps then the other half gives 1-25 rps

Yes but Awarkle you will probably have like an entire shroom field up infront of the keep or inside the keep so if we come near its:

Shroom hits you for 120 damage!
Shroom hits you for 120 damage!
Shroom hits you for 120 damage!
Shroom hits you for 120 damage!
Shroom hits you for 120 damage!
Shroom hits you for 120 damage!
times 10.

Can't just mez shrooms now as you got AE mez cure for them and you can just stack them to unmez them all at once and for some reason shrooms nuke through entire floors.
Its hard enough as it is trying to get near a keep without atleast 5 rangers assisting on you (yes I know its the same with all realms) but once you get close you get nuked by 100 shrooms, oh did I mention they nuke through entire keep floors and walls?

The only way to atleast get some kills or take out the door and storm in (which in some cases also doesn't even work against a hib defence) is to attack the door and the keep with siege.
So playing it defensively is sometimes our only option.

You would need 7 animists to reach that number of shrooms. Since NF started I have seen that only once. I'm not saying shrooms are not annoying, but many battles you have upwards of 3 times our number of people there.

When you take Hib towers we suck it up and charge the lord, depsite your highers numbers all the GT and AoE abilities waiting for us there. We take our deaths and we take the tower (or wipe trying).

It's truly sad to see a massive force standing and watching an open gates literally hours becuase they are too petty to take their knocks like we take ours. Waiting someone out of a keep is unwise. If we go down that road before too long we'll all be sitting on our arses for hours on end saying "well at least I didn't let them kill me". You might as well just go PvE and with the realmwar map open and cheer when the towers change colour.

Yes, I am saying this because I want my shot at killing you when I am in a nice defensive position when I am inside a keep. That's what the game's about. I don't begrudge you lot the advantage when you do the same to us. It's not like running to the top of a lord's room defended by a gazillion Albs is a walk in the park.

Well its a very frustrating situation really, i dont like massive stand offs where not much is happening, its just dull.

I dont think its really a situation about not wanting to die though. Its more, 'hmm how the hell do we shift them from the lord room', its particularly discouraging to be hit by shrooms the minute u walk through the door and so the natural instinct is to hold back. Albion also often lacks any leadership type figures, so u are in a position where people are unsure what they should do, so simply continue to bombard the keep with siege equipment without really getting anywhere.

Yeah, I really sympathise. I actually don't know how I would go about softening up the Lord's room either, other than the obvious GT stuff that you already use. And I certainly wouldn't wanna lead the effort. Even with Hib lower numbers and (reputedly) better level of responsiveness to leadership, NF tower battles are a nightmare to lead.

All I can say is that shroom effects are diluted in direct proportion to number of targets. The more people you put near the same set of shrooms, the less impact the stack will have on individuals. Unfortunately, this may mean that your best target is a massed charge of some sort, which isn't going to seem palatable.

Having said that, charging a Lord's room defended by Albs is a bit bloody to say the least, and anything beats sitting watching each other for 2 or 3 hours with only the scouts and rangers able to actually play.

If it makes you feel any better (and to get back towards topic), shrooms eat 50% RPs if they do the damage. People think they are getting low RPs per kill, you should see mine.

Will lodge a complaint for you. Redb must have moved his site.

I might be able to dig out my old link to Tom's tools or Harrys hacks
