I hope they enjoy it...
Mind you, as soon as Hibs found out we were attacking Hlid, Albion lost DC... only later did Hibs take Arvakr.
And both Mids and Hibs love retaking keeps at 5 am cet... claiming it is the only way. Albs are so superior to us.
No, nevermind Albs were the same number or less than the Mids or Hibs attacking the keep... we just claim they were more... Otherwise we would be sad, skillless gits, with overpowered classes that we cannot play so well really.. damnit.. nerf Albion more!!! arrghhh, more nerfing, I cannot win from Albs anymore.. damnit..
You know what.. I stop going into Emain (Hibbies).
You know what.. I bring 3 times the Alb numbers (Mids).

1 man on the wall is worth 10 at the bottom the saying goes. Ok with DAOC it's more like one on the wall for 2 at the bottom but still, if you put 100 people in a keep you need at least 200 to even have a shot at retaking it.

Hmm where is your relic atm? maybe you should grow some balls and get your power relic...

But if we do that we wont have a CS in hibby ;)

Maybe , we'll take our STR relic from u , and not take other two , so u Faggots dont get a CS in Albion and Pharm us like we r Pharming j00z. :twak:

BTW FAO ALBS:.....Snakesters "Familarize urself wif albland" tour will be starting soon , so all albs have a chance too actually find safe routes and names of keeps in our rvr zone. :whip:

RvR lasted so long because Mid were completely retarded last night and just can't grasp the fact that you need to use siege engines to remove large numbers of casters camped on walls. Still that is going to leave the tricky situation of necros with their pets presumably in with the Lord, but all other casters can be dealt with leaving only necros on the walls and trebs might actually help remove the pets if they can be located.

Roll on 1.60 so we don't have to put up with currently the most broken class I have ever even heard of in the many RPGs I have played - an invincible caster.

It seems Mids are far happier running into the casters over and over with no gain.

I tried to point this out at the time when Hild was captured but few listened (we did get 2 trebs up about 30 mins later) but by then Albs were settled and sensibly zerged us to remove Trebs. Mids need to learn how to get siege stuff to a keep quickly and how to cordinate their attacks to best effect for maximum impact.

The back and forth RP farm fought by both sides between Nott and Hild was quite entertaining for a while but our failure to prevent Hibs taking Arvarkr should have cost us at least the contents of 1 relic keep, possibly the contents of both.


In the end, the inability of our alliance to listen to people talking sense and the insistence of adopting what were basically completely retarded tactics meant I gave up and went to play an alt and left the kids to run back and forth between Hild and Nott farming RPS. We need to learn from our previous mistakes - we showed a small degree of learning from the weekend last night (we didnt just constantly suicide ourselves on Hild with no reason) but no real intelligence was displayed.

Mids should have come out of last night ALOT worse than they did, fortunately it seems Albs and Hibs also have tactics trouble - or the temptation of being RP-whores was just too great - one or the other.

Not flaming anyone here - but I think Mid seriously needs to wake up and get a single leader to lead, rather than the few people talking sense on /AS being drowned out by the seemingly vast number of utter retards with no clue at all. Maybe thats not the case for all alliances but it was certainly true of AB alliance last night and I didnt see any tactics from the other alliances that suggested they were doing any better.

Hibs didn't have the numbers to take on Gralla or Mjollner. We took Arvakr because Albs and Mids were playing with each other and we felt left out zerging emain with our uber 5fg's odd :p

Also, by the time we took Arvakr it was getting kinda late so not many people cba to go try get a relic then.. and I'm not sure htf we would get the relic out of your frontier either, with 100+ Albs and Mids on the way...

Albs didn't take the relic because they love abusing the CS.. same reason Hib still has Alb power relic I suspect :p

Not reallly. Reason Hibs have power relic is due
(a)A zone crash, with 1rst door down, 2nd door 50%, and no Hibs inside yet.
(b)Spies, and you lot taking advantage of that information.
(c) The fact that our power relic cannot be defended.

I feel Albions have tried several times. Not only in Hibernia, but also in Midgard. A series of bad luck have hit us, and the insistance of the leaders to take part in fair relic raids (on normal times).

Aavarn, during the final attempt at retaking the keep we had removed all the casters from the walls, with the exception of the 7-8 necros and some scouts. Problem was we cant remove the necros very easy, because you have to ...

a) GTAOE the pets, to do this the RM has to /groundassist an SB that has marked the pets spot and then get within range to GTAOE. Problem being that if the RM is in range of the necro pet to GTAOE then the necro can nuke him back, and as the necro nuke does twice the damage of GTAOE the necro will win everytime.

b) Send SBs to assainate the necro pet. Usually a suicide mission and few SBs are up for it.

Not to mention, that even if you kill the necro, they will be back on the wall 5 mins later doing the exact same thing.

But yes, mids need to start keeping siege weapons handy in their vaults, so that we can roll them out quicker when doing a retake.

Because traveling time from Castle Sauvage to the power relic keep is the longest in all realms. Mythic has admitted this, and later placed a bind point at Snowdonia Station, which still is the fartest from any other realm.
Any no Alb will bind there, cause then you forget about RvR.
