Time take to take a keep

[longbow]

Im wondering what peoples experinces are of this? Yesterday I was at a keep - tier 3 badlands. No one was attacking it when I arrived. I visited the renown merchant there and just after that I discovered it was being attacked. Great I though I can now find out what its like to be a defender. Made my way to the outer towers above the gate to set up a seige cannon for defence. There were about 10 or 12 destro attacking the guards outside.
I then went ctd. It took me just a couple of minutes to get back on line where I discovered I was back in the base camp. I thought ok just run up quick and get inside to defend.
Boy was I in for a shock. I got there to discover both outer and inner doors had already been breached. and as I entered the keep the destro were coming down the stairs when I see the message that the keep had fallen. I died rather rapidly.
Just how long is it supposed to take to capture these keeps? I thought 3 or 4 minutes was rather more rapid than it should be. When I attacked a keep a couple of days ago with a wb it took us considerably longer than 3 minutes to even get through the first door let alone take the keep.

Joined a merry warband yesterday nighttime where we proceeded to take all the keeps and battle objectives in tier 3. There were about 20 of us and we mowed through the opposition pretty easily.

I felt sorry for the one dwarf who didnt see the stampede coming

O well, was much fun anyway

Plus the defense of the avelorn keep yesterday took about 4 hours or so lol. the tiny buggers kept on coming and kept on falling. they did manage to breach the firt maingate but in the hubbub of trying to open the last gate the first gate reset and trapped them all in a steaming cauldron of many many angry destro fantatics

Ahh this is what WAR is all about. Havent had this much fun in any MMO i have played.

These keeps starts remind me of a watered down version of the Daoc Old Frontiers ones (and i said it all!).
