Okay, we got the keep doors open this time. Admittedly after having to /release and return with the second ram.

We even made it in to the courtyard this time... some of us... and some of us went up to the battlements... and some of us immediately rushed the lord... and some of us stayed outside to play tiddlywinks with the guards... etc etc ad nauseum.

I love Albion

Lol i was gona say the same thing, but you've summed it all up.

Deja-vu of the last keep raid where both doors went down. If your looking to play alb make sure you know the phrase RUSH THE LORD !!!! generaly means you can do one of the three things listed above.

a) rush the loord
b) sit on your ass outside
c) run around the inside of the keep like a headless chicken

Please be aware that you should always select one of the above that is being performed by the least number of albs. Nice to spread out our forces along all three tasks.

oh my, after dying in LD whilst standing on the battlements I ran back after reconnecting to find both doors down, bodies everywhere. Two people fighting guards.....losing to guards I mean, speeded past them towards the stairwell. Must of got 4 or 5 albs on the way up, just standing around looking a little confused / lost, I even had time to wave at a paladin before he realised that the hammer I was applying to his face wasn't Daja's way of saying I love you.

I feel for you albs I'm just glad you didn't take the keep, I don't fancy enduring the same thing to get it back...

[Roalith]

Any Albions interested in another attempt, please PM me at some point tomorrow. I'm buggered if I'm going to level the latest gimp through without taking the keep at least once.

 

[mid_Efour]

LOL

IF u plan to attempt to take it PLZ msg me before i really wanna be part of it cos ill cap RPS on it easy

and what better way to go out than after a keep raid lots of LoL

good luck !

 

[madferrit]

Well it was kinda fun

I was one of the few who made it up to the Lords room only to find the HUGEST TROLL! ive ever seen blocking the way!!! think his name was Coda or Kode or something (bezerker i think), much kudos to him, he pretty much held off the 5-6 albs up there and the death spam given off by him was pretty intense, so i think he earnt a few RP's that night

Shame those damn Viking Archers can shoot through walls, i was in the process of trying to give koda a poisoned tickle in the ribs when i became an instant pin cushion


Hopefully we Albs can finish the job next time

Nice to see the amount of ppl from both side turn up shame some had to jump on the keep roof.. bit lame that

P.s. Anyone even SEE a Hibby all night???

em /wave Till next time.. watch your backs

Garatt Jaxx Lvl 2X Inf - Troll fodder !

 

[Roalith]

I saw a Hibbie! Orange to 21 Firby running > thataway from Midgard bridge while we were resting at the bottom of the hill

 

[madferrit]

<sniggers>

So there was a sighting

 

[snikit]

for the information of the press being on the roof (it was not my idea (Gorevik)). i was ressed there and was only there for 2 or 3 mins while the mana and health bars where raised enough to drop from the roof without killing my self. until late night i was unaware that part of the keep was accessable.

all i can say in my defence is "no i dont want to be ressed up there, i lkie the taste of dirt and the bottom of alb boots, but thnx any way!?!"

Roalith : Oh, and PS: Gorevik and Cooke, consider yourselves reported (with screenshots) for being atop the gate roof while using ranged attacks to gain RP.

Aww could poor ickle albie not figure that if he went to the side of the keep gates it's possible to get LOS on the roof. Next you'll be reporting people for hiding behind battlement features. Gerta many a time has hidden at side of gate and upset casters up there with bolts, AOE disease and Poison. Used your mental power to help yourself rather than stressing about what other's are doing.

Snibson was there picking you off while you rested and camped the bridge. Lured a minstrel away from the bridge solo and hid in water. Should have seen the look on his face when he popped his head over the brow of the hill to see a solo dwarf mezz, run up Ruiner, Demolish, shout, shout, then Ruiner his butt (p.s. unless you ready for a good fight don't go solo with the ickle purple dwarf with snake on shield)

Sorry little Luri Eld near Hib side of thier bridge, You where only blue con, and them bolts did nowt, I can only hope you was casting Base line stun when I mezzed /wave /cry splat.

But good job done by all, albs thought you had us. I took a team over the back wall as you opened the gate (well I thought I had, only 2 guild mates had the sense to listen, hay hum, well that's Mid) but you retreated instead of going straight in leaving me and my backup still in a battlefield instead of rear charging as you entered. Mids well defended, We weren't losing that keep without a fight and boy is that what we had to do.

Having less than 50 RP's before I cap Thid, I'm just there for fun.

P.S. Not in thid for RP Can't be arsed rerolling snibby

 

[Hufner]

First of all - all NPC archers shoot through walls, regardless of realm


Secondly, since you can target casters on the roof from certain select spots... GOA will tell you that it's allowed.
Though I would love to see them claim it illegal so I can send in screenies of some Albs doing the same thing

 

[rynnor]

I was convinced the Albs would take it last night when you were all in the courtyard - not sure what happened?

As best as I can make out half your force (the infiltrators were milling around the battlements.

Some of the rest charged the Lord but were delayed by defenders.

Pure timing (eg Luck) - the Gaurds respawned.

Supposition - some of those en route to lord turned back to fight guards. Maybe some in courtyard ran outside?

Result - not enough left to take Lord/defenders.

PS. you better get this keep back soon Albs because next patch we Mids get our own PBAOE'rs - Spiritmasters - and thats just gonna be a world of pain for you

 

[-Nxs-]

Like i said in CG last night - we dont have the right people in the L20-24 range to take the keep, about 5 people spammed the CG with "door 2 almost gone, prep to rush the loard" and yet over 50% of those there didnt, no wonder we failed.

Seriously doubt Alb can take the keep, have an ongoing bet with one of the other experienced albs here, theve been optimistic and last night estimated a 60% chance we would take the keep, my estimation never rose about 30%, even when the 2nd door was down, people are either not interested in joining a communal CG, or they just just dont listen.

Honestly, its not gona happen, that keep will be Mid's / Hib's until we get some fresh albs in the BG.

 

[rynnor]

I hope you or the Hibbies get it soon - I really enjoy a prolonged siege - especially one with moments of hilarity like wrongly positioned Rams and people logging in within a mass of the enemy

I want to use the three rams in my vault soon too!

Still - if u do attack again ill get to practice my woodworking repairing the door.

See you tonight - once I shift the ton of gravel on my drive

 

[-Nxs-]

Ohh dont get me wrong there will be more attempts on the keep, almost certainly tonight too - but like ive said, albs will never ever ever get to take Thid with the current range of 20-24's

Its just impossible.

If they do manage to take the keep, ill unstealth outside of mpk so you can all gank me again (seams like the only time you are able too - muwahahhahaaaa)

Ok guess then standing up at lord shooting down at you guys at ab or hb, is against the rules too. Every time i've been on a keep raid in Thid, when albs where in control of ck, always you saw someone ontop the roof, when i had my hunter i could shoot them down, its not easy but your able to do it. And you get up on the roof by jumping twice, once up on the railing, and once up on the roof. But my own opinion its to much fuss to get up, and if you die.

Your rezzer have to jump up too. And the keeps are designed so that its hard to get a target sometimes when you look thru the battlements.

 

[Roalith]

Ah. My mistake, I thought it was only possible to get up onto the roof with a screenshot jump.

And please note, at no point did I whine about being shot through walls etc, I was posting under the above (fairly reasonable) misconception.

 

[Roalith]

All I can say is: MON THEN!!!!!!

At long bloody last

I hope they don't hold you to that mate

notice he said "if THEY do manage..." so seeing as Fatal was part of the keeptaking team and thus helping take it, means it was WE not THEY (in his case) so he don´t have to unstealth at MPK

 

[arladon]

Yeah, like Albion is going to keep the Fort

Well... Now that I, Grimkrag, has enter the lvl of 21 the keep wont be in Albion hands for long(hopefully). Good to see you Albs can have it for abit but hey, it's ours. I really cant wat to attach my axes into the face of some unlucky paladin blocking my way(I'm the guy with the black helmet). So, good luck to you Albions who got it(atm). You will need it

 

[arladon]

I'm tired, miss-spelled Wait and Entered.... zzzZZZzzzZzz
