Stating the Obvious

[Invisibul]

Yeah i know most of u prolly know to do this but i just feel it should be made clear
guilds that claim a keep can't claim watchtowers/outposts and spires aswell
and vice versa

and guilds need to claim keeps etc asap. like i said i know most of u will already know this, but doesn't hurt to mention it.

WATT IS KLAIM KEEP M8?????++

Don't know ;(

 

[Kahland]

Should we make a list of what guilds to claim what keeps in alb ? I know that we (PE) will be fast to logon to get Beno preferably maybe. We have <naughtyword>'loads! of bountypoints to spend on a lvl 10 keep.

I know we cant preclaim keeps ofcourse but we'd like to have a lvl 10 one always as it would make it a stronger bastion of defense for the relics likewise the frontiers.

PE acting for the good of the realm :worthy:

 

[iziz]

actually the order of importance for the keeps are:

Hurbury and Renaris, then,
Sursbrooke and Boldiam, then,
Erasleigh and Berkstead, and then finally
Benowyc.

A level 10 benowyc as a show of strength is a good idea as long as all the keeps behind it are level 10 first, in the order listed.

There's no use having a level 10 keep that's fairly difficult to take, if the supply lines are cut behind it, preventing defenders from porting to a keep that might end up being the last thing needed to open up a relic gate.

Whether you like it or not, the game is opening up to the mainstream player... so the people that are most likely to defend your keep, aren't going to be people from opted groups that can have the luxury of running speed 5/6 with the RAs to guarantee getting past attackers to get in to defend.

<naughtyword>'loads!

Even the smallest guilds should be able to keep towers at lvl 10 as it only costs 100 bountypoints per hour. (35 - 50bps if "underpopulated" realm). It's also very important to keep towers at high levels, because a ranger/hunter/scout with fools bow can easily solo level 1-4 tower in a few minutes. (tower itself cons green if it's lvl 1 and tower captain is red/ low purple).

 

[Kahland]

what is the centered keep called, the one with water around it, is that bold or berks ? lying in the middle of the ingame map.

 

[Darklis]

That's Boldiam, see here .

Agree we need guilds who can actually maintain the keeps at 10 to claim them asap, I am sure Phoenix Legion will be claiming one also.

D xx

 

[Andrilyn]

Boldiam is basically the most important keep, having played Gorre some when it was on english setting whenever the enemy realm(s) managed to get that keep it was bye bye relics basically.
And another thing I don't think a solo scout/ranger/hunter can solo a tower, esp. not since when you look on the /rw you will see the tower is in flames at first contact with an enemy player and people will go there asap.

 

[Kahland]

We would like to claim bold.

 

[Morimdin]

on gorre, Eras was deffo the hotspot, was looaads of action there, a very nice fighting area, would be nice to have that at lvl 10 asap, and crimthain had a 4-day battle on gorre, those 2 will prolly be hotspots on prydwen to(Reason for eras to be nice: it's in wading water*, it has 2 keeps very close, mids and hibs' boats stop rightoutside, Templar pets(very uber) are close.)

wading water*(for those that hasent teste NF yet) when you are wading in water(only on sertain areas) you run as if snared. in other words. you opponent cant turn away and run and get away

there.. nonsense of the day! xD

 

[Frosen]

I think DLK is going to try and claim a keep also, altho i don't know wich and i won't be there as i need to work late

 

[Arethir]

We would like to claim bold.

Imo you should, would be for the better of the realm to have PE defend the most important keep.

 

[Bubble]

this sort of thing should go in a private albion area

 

[Cami]

No, shh!






Wont take long to find that out anyway.

 

[Steveh]

we have about million bp.what keep is the best if we claim?

i not see why benowyc is not important

 

[Andrilyn]

Benowyc is kind of important but it will fall fast as its basically the first keep (or atleast 1 of the first) which will get assaulted, same with Bledmeer and Crauchon.
People will try to get 1 enemy center keep + all 4 towers to have porting access so they wont have to go to another realm by boat but can just port and Bledmeer, Benowyc and Crauchon are easy to reach with a boat.
Boldiam is rather important seeing its basically the last defend point, if lost its rather likely you will lose some if not all relics.

It's not that it's not important, as people will need to take it to open up a milegate to either strength or power relics, but from a defensive standpoint it's the least important one.

Getting people to defend as quickly as possible is the key to a good defense, so being able to port to the keep, or to the keep nearest to the one under attack, is always very important.

Renaris and Hurbury can be gotten to easily and quickly enough as they're near the border keeps, however anything past that and you'll be wanting to port.

In order to port to Sursbrooke and Boldiam, you need to hold Hurbury and Renaris...

In order to port to Erasleigh and Berkstead, you need to hold Hurbury, Renaris, Sursbrooke and Boldiam...

In order to port to Benowyc, you need to hold Hurbury, Renaris, Sursbrooke, Boldiam, Erasleigh and Berkstead...

That is why the central keeps (Surs, Bold, Eras and Berks) are so much more important to hold. This is especially true for the coastal keeps as enemy realms can catch a boat to right outside their door.

Beno would be nice to hold (I know I'd like to) as it's probably going to be one of the most attacked keeps, however it just isn't one of the important ones to hold.

you can port to any keep as long as all 4 of its belonging outpost pieces(spelling) is controlled by your own realm m8y atleast how it is on gorre... if patchnotes says diffurent just ignore me

only if the supply line to that keep is intact ... the supply line for alb goes

Renaris and Hurbury

Sursbrooke and Boldiam
