the new relic system?

[Subbiz]

since the uberguards thats bound to each keep (2 for each) started to respawn with a very short timer after the patch, relicraids will now take 200+ ppl, and/or alot of keeptaking before starting on the doors... Thats making things alot harder, sad news for excalibur, since we all know which realm who got the easiest task getting together 200 ppl for a relicraid :|

atleast taking keeps is now every day material after we got DF, so thats atleast a bright side of it all.. funny to see how it will develop. I must admit that I preferred to be able to pop a relic with 5-6 FGs, that makes it alot easier to avoid being spotted.

New Relic System

Its going to be even harder for those 200+ people to take the relics. (as well as not being noticed...he he can we say lag?)

A handful of defenders as well as that pop and its pretty much game over (I imagine).

 

[Subbiz]

well the mid forces last night was not having the big fuss with the guards, since we popped a few keeps first (4 I reckon).

but as soon as a few albs arrived it didnt take many secs before all were dead and had released back to midgard.
we were around 100 at pk, ended up with some 60 ppl at relic (several mass LDs on the way there)

you could use more people

or you could use more planning and skill

 

[Subbiz]

the funny thing is that no matter how much planning and skill u do, u will most likely always draw out scouts who will eventually figure out ur purpose, and that will draw 100+ defenders out in a few mins

I can say tanx and say damn you... We were at the moment you were spotted heading to Legion to give him some spanking... There were at least 40-50 people near a DF exit portal so as soon we got the message that there were many Mids we rushed out and rushed to sauvage. I was with some people the first to get there. Did some hit and runs on some norse to lure them to the side (which worked with some who got some nice archer arrows in their chests...). We had some wizzies in the castle also so they could nuke nicely . As soon as you build the rams the big alb army came in and wiped the mids from the front of the castle. I think the rams only bounced 3 or 4 times before the rambuilder was overwhelmed by albs.

And indeed the lag issues are annoying but you are not the only realm who has to cope with that, each realm has it. I think it's mainly due to DF. However in all the normal XP spots it's pretty quiet now so I have no lag at all in those places which makes it fine for me (my alts that is).

Dam,

Sounds like the Albs won using tactics other than ZERG...

...Is that cheating?

<Rifles through COC...>

Dam ... They must have missed that one...

Guess a big Well Done in order then!

And the lag from DF is a sort of blessing to all large groups wanting to raid. Before people used to immediately think that there was a large army somewhere, now they are not so sure.

Alb may have more people but getting 200+ people together is jsut as difficult for as for the other realms.. I really wish you could see some of my chat logs, albion has virtually no idea on the words "unity" and "coordination"

I'm glad it takes more anyway, i wish it would take more to take keeps, maybe make it more of an achievement

Yeah but it might piss them off when they are farming uberloot in DF and have to suicide and pay for new doors.......

Youre welcome to come and try in Mid... youll be happy to return to Albion after that...

 

[old.Nol]

the real test

so the next relic take is going to be the real tester for the realms...at least with DF and people bunging to get in, there is a chance fo getting near the relic keeps.

 

[Flimgoblin]

Is it implemented in this patch that the number of guards reduces as you get more relics?

I.e. as we have 3 relics we only get 75% of the guards...

if you have all 6 relics you get no relic guards

Or is that another patch?

 

[Flimgoblin]

Aha it was 1.48 so it's already there....
