So Albs sunken to alarm clock raids now that they can no longer do prime times?

[Light]

Like hell there were 13 albs online. You probably typed /who 20 or something...cos no matter WHAT time of day it is, there's normally about 4fgs of Albs running around Emain.

have you even played long enough to know .. it seems not

lol

even if it was 4fgs what would they do against 37fg mids (~300 mids)?

 

[Killrake]

To the RR I say nothing, just say Pandoras box have been open again, this will be fun.....

comming from a mid that means fck all to us

learn ur past before u speak of others

And FYI albs started Alarmclockraids at first, so u better learn from the past to little kiddo..:kissit:

 

[Chrstffr]

i was online, so it have to be primetime :x

nice one aussie xD

 

[Gasoline]

last raid that was good was with Herbal and he did a primetime raid but ur realm came back at 7am aight meight

Sorry, I just realised my incredibly stupid mistake...as long as it's NEARLY prime time, it's okay.
D'uh...
How could I be so stupid!
:kissit:

 

[Nibbles]

Nearly prime time, my small blue kobold ass...
FACT - the majority of the players in Mid/Excal are ahead of GMT...they tend to live in the Scandinavian countries, or maybe even as far as East Europe.
PORBABILITY - You're going on the phrase "prime time" as if you live someway behind GMT in the world.

And another comment...might be your poor phrasing, but I think it's more likely that you meant to say this...
Notice the word "nearly".
Awww...seems poor ickle Albion still can't prove they can do a prime time raid...

Fact is, that raid was been done under "normal" gaming circumstances. No alarm clock has been set or noone has just logged in to build a missmatch of the forces on both sides. Sorry, that you are depressed about loosing your relic. Just take it back but stop crying now

 

[Calo]

Sorry, but that's as bad as mids excuse of feeling depressed. Ardamel is gonna come back at exactly the same hour and everything is gonna go downhill from there. IT's OK THOUGH!!1oneone I GOT 70 DEADIKATED RVR GUILDS PREPARED TO MISS SKOOL FUR RALICRALDS!!1

I truly hope that they kill the engage raids in NF, there is no longer any style points left in taking a relic.

exactly what he says.... theres no point in taking and defending relics anymore.. its just killing some doors and u have them whenever u want..

The raid started at 12 UK time on a weekend and there was about 1600 online when it STARTED so QQ more mids you lame naabs, dont even try to come up with an early excuse for ur next raid at 7am.

 

[Eregion]

While 7 fg's doing Relic Raid, around 5 fg's+ at Emain, leaded by Outzerg ofc!

you're wrong, we found outlaw soloing outside atk a few mins before relic went neutral fyi!

gratz on raid albs

morsan has spoken !

[nol]

Sorry, but that's 1am CET and that's not prime time, further more, I am shocked and amazed that Aussie's mom let him stay up so late, is it school holidays?

The last Midgard relic raid was under "normal" gaming circumstances. Unless suddenly, everyone in Midgard has a night-job, I don't think any alarm clocks were set.
And if you know that Ardamel is going to take it back, why bother with this "7fgs of apparently dedicated alb RvR guilds" that will happily come online at 1-3am in the morning to lick Aussie's boots? Apparently, we're just gonna get it back anyhow...

 

[Icebreaker]

One thing i want to add here. Was a good raid with an interesting tactic but!

It Sucks. It sucks so much. bigtime xD

And you shouldn't repeat such a tactic. Maybe it works well but it destroys the fun of taking/defending relics if the defenders not even get the slighest chance to do anything then just watching their relics going somewhere else.

"Sorry, but that's 1am CET and that's not prime time, further more, I am shocked and amazed that Aussie mom let him stay up so late, is it school holidays?"

Last i checked, its Saturday?

Weeeeell, shrooms are much the same in that way

There is no difference between taking the relic when people are sleeping, whether it's 'cos you stayed up late or woke up early. The majority of Mids are CET, that make's 1am, that's not a reasonable time.

Here here....like I already pointed out, we at least let the realm concerned know that we're there. We may not be so sad as to have 7 RvR guilds out and about at that time of morning (yes, I mean morning...if that's primetime, then so was the 7am raid you're so resentful of, so stfu), so we had absolutely NO chance to defend. If you didn't know, Hibs tried an all-out attack on Mjollner yesterday, and at least gave Midgard a warning...
:touch:

 

[Jpeg[LOD]]

with all the failed raids recently due to spys .... server crashes .... tourists ... 12-1amGMT isnt prime prime time ..... but at that time of night there is ALWAYS a large amount of people on the servers ..

relic went neutral on my clock at about 1-15am (was omw to dodens to exp gov) so raid musta started about mightnight gmt? which ISNT late at all . even your school kids i assume are allowed to stay up that late on a weekend?

we have tried a few times to take them 7-8pm gmt and have had server crash after server crash.... and also acusations of spys thwarting alb raids... mids cannot whinge at all imo and have no grounds to after the way they got the relics in the 1st place. and no doubt some newb will gather 300+ mids again at 6-7am and retake them.


all i see above is sour grapes from the mids quit whinging and get planning for your retake. but u need be fast cos it wont be long before alb owns all 3 again


p.s wohooooo i actually got a good reason to go rvr in HW again now !!

Oh, I see, so can we raid at 3am on New Years Eve because more then likely a lot of people will be awake?

This is a whole new case of pot, kettle, shades of grey, but I can't be asked to explain anymore.

I leave you to your fight, and to my fellow hibs that think this was a good time to raid ... what if it was us?

Come on ffs its SATURDAY, there was 1600!!!!! online on excal when raid started. Very reasonable imo.

:touch:

You forget, there was a time, when guards did NOT report to guild, when the realm being attacked hardly ever knew of the attack if no patrols reported it.

 

[rure]

so we had absolutely NO chance to defend.

which the 20 albs had against the 300 mids on the last time we lost our str relics?

sorry.. alarm clock raid is much much more worse than this tactic.

 

[Aussie]

come online at 1-3am in the morning

come online... hmmmm. good one xD

We don't care if you retake it.
the tactic is so easy. It's a small group. the dedicated rvr guilds are almost every day online so we can do it whenever we want. It takes so little preparation and time to take them. We are trained and everyone knows his job . It'll only go faster and easier the more we do it. I'm sure the 7 are prepared to sacrifice 2 hours emain for a relic or 3.

 

[Calo]

the fucking fact that albs don't wanna see (ofc not they are just completly blind atm) is taht there is NO FUN on both sides..

yes it was a nice raid.. and yes it was prolly a nice defence comming up from mid's side but there was just no time...

btw 1CET -> most of us going out cause as all albs stated its saturday.. after we saw the relic message only 50-60 mids were at svashud ... on a normal evening u know that there would be 200+

 

[Raguel]

i appealed and got an answer from goa.
To stop the whining about alarmraids & stuff they decided on an alarmclock-meeting to close down the servers from midnight till 9 am from now on every day....

 

[Kevralyn]

A Nice Raid

First let me congratulate the Albs on a well planned raid (hurrah)

It's about time you got off your butts and started fighting for the relics rather than taking BIG hints from the 2 realms that do go after the relics (without crashing the server as a tactic)

How was it done? I'd guess a clever combination of ML and ToA abilities well used..Engage, Grapple, Bodyguard, FoP, FoH, Faultfinder...all that stufff...which sort of means it's a FoTM raid and "regular" people are not "eligible"...which is a shame because I thought the game was about fun and TEAM play....

4-6fg Albs on a FoTM RR is NOT team play....300 Mids, many with no abilities but just a lot of guts is GREAT team play

FYI I regard any raid between 1am and 7am to be sucky, Alb Hib AND Mid...I have a life outside of DAOC and it does take precendence over forcing myself to remain awake to defend pixels no matter how much fun it is.

Fun....Fun is deeds or valour and daring on the field of battle, army versus army...not a FoTM RR that excluddes so many people from actually joining in the FUN. And when I see groups turning a healer or shaman away on a PvE hunt because the character does not have FoP or FoH then the next thing to turn is my stomach.

Anyway....FoM Alliance will be taking the relic back sooner than you think, so don't waste your money upgrading the doors

and im sure it will change in nf so enjoy it while u can

no, the <dont kill any guards> tactic is worse. It's like there is no Relic Raid until they grab the Relic.

 

[Margaret]

All I will say is...

This game has become too much about winning and too little about having fun.

 

[rure]

no, the <dont kill any guards> tacitc is worse. It's like there is no Relic Raid until they grab the Relic.

actually, its enuff that 1 guy bump into us in the middle of the raid and report to the alliances and the whole raid is fubared. something thats NOT possible when there is 20 lvl 50s online.
