Well done hibs :)

[Arethir]

Well, albs needs about 2 fgs for each shroomist there is inside the hib zerge, and 1 fg for every fg the hibs has. Don't go whine about how easy they die etc, coz when they are inside a lord room, and you cant get around the corner without getting insta interupted to sht, there's not really much else you can do than to try and zerge your way up there in huge numbers. Which is what albs do.

Ofc SoS+twf+couple bombs might help out abit But all the bomb ppl are in opted grps now.. they don't play in the zerge much.

Anyways it's nice that you have relics back, hope you keep em for some time

Grats Not overly bothered about losing a relic, an active relic situation is always a good thing imo.

Silly time to do it though cos basically other realms will feel justified to raid at a similar hour now.

Hehe.. like this is the first middle-of-the-night-raid in the history of DAOC.. Think theese kind of rr's were implemented by the Alb's a long time ago tbh.. so don't blame the Hib's that other realms will feel justified to do late night raids..

bit of a different situation now as u can basically head down to the relic keep with a couple of groups without the need to take other keeps first etc to remove guards.

true enough though, i think i remember a few alb raids quite recently in the middle of the night I dont like it though, not very fair to people involved and hardly enjoyable (though i guess a lag fest with 100s of peeps is hardly fun either )

grats hibs, nice to see relic situation change

 

[VidX]

tbh though, I think the best performance over the weekend has been from the Mids.

Granted, I don't agree with their choice of choosing to attack Hib instead of Alb, but the sudden appearance of 60+ Mids actually working together and going on the offensive was a welcome sight, and hopefully a good sign that they are realising that the only people that can help them are themselves, sulking around won't work and they seem to be experimenting with group layouts and tactics, nerf the 2 BD 2 Runie groups already

Oh, and the fight our group had with the Mael crew and Alarons group in the river by Scath 3 was quite enjoyable on Sunday, well played guys.

I'm sure you wouldn't mind if we nick it 'again' at an alarmclock raid then.

You could, but you'd need 3 keeps then 15 minutes in the relic shrine.

I agree.. and don't like it much either, but am afraid that this is the future.. And im not saying that Mids are any better than Hibs or Albs when it comes to raiding at odd hours.. I have to get up erly every morning too if I want to keep my job, but when it's possible to steal a relic with just a few fg's as it is now.. then I'll bet it's gonna happen over and over..

Well.. ofc I would mind, but I'm aware of the situation and it won't ruin my world if you do.. =)

 

[Sugah]

Over the past few weeks i've had quite a few late nights where both mids and albs have been attacking scaith and ailline till 4-6am.

Not certain, but we (the SC regular group) did meet your group and Alaron's group in an extremely intense 3-way fight in the river at Scath 3. Could be a different fight, of course. I think it lasted for 5+ minutes, because I used FZ three times and MCL twice (and God knows how many power pots) before it ended with us dying. At Svasud, we found out that our quirky BD didn't get off TWF ("couldn't get a good GT!"), however!

Coulda swore I seen a Mael guild cloak chasing me for a good 10 minutes

But yeah, I did see you there, and I used RP twice, so was over 10 minutes long, was down to 1 pot after it.

Think the GT issue was due to it being in the water, iirc the only TWF that went off was ours, probably was 2 used on our side, I was too busy, erm..., (ab?)using the water LoS rules to try and shake some rather persistent 2h /stick users :s

 

[Kjel]

Too good to not stick into a random thread

Well, I know for a fact that there were no Mid adds. The Mid 2H user that chased you was probably Xenja, our persistent Skald. The SC emblem is a checkered white and grey, the Maelstrom one is checkered white and blue, close enough? (Although Xenja uses SoM.)

Certainly one of the coolest fights I've been in lately. Didn't even mind losing!

I managed to get rid of some RR9 Warden type (Egar?) that way myself.

 

[Maeloch]

thats wrong, you came out, died came out, died, came out, died, came out, died.... sry for the 4 kills in 5 mins mealoch, but you kinda came back for me evrytime

Nah, i did okay, there was much more out than you. Got something stupid like 55k which is much more than I ever got in a single session b4 so I musta killed something somewhere. Kept pulling mids from the tower, was some alb and mid stealth out, some other solo. Only remember dying twice to you, but I was rat-arsed by then so mebbe i don't remember right (not making an excuse for losing, I remember u got me good earlier in the day).

Tinkerbell can fo, some hib with a bug up his arse

Nice job for hibs on night-shift raid anyhow. Don't blame them and don't blame any realm that does it, in the lameness quotient of things in this game alarm clock raids dont even register...we're supposed to get each others relics not sit holding hands, otherwise game would be pretty boring.

Mael, 50th ment.

It'll only happen over and over until Mid get their 2 relics back. Taking 3 keeps to open mgs really isn't worth the effor when 20 people can take them back at 4am

The problem is that taking defended keeps is so hard these days, it's almost impossible to do it during Prime time. Even as a PvE exercise a level 10 keep isn't the easiest thing to take with low numbers.

Yeah I enjoyed that fight very much as well Was very intense and lasted for quite a bit.

 

[Jobil]

swifting relics = more fights = more mids, hibs, albs going at each other = good thing = more active prydwen
who cares if they grabbed it at 4 am, maybe next time they'll be taking it back at another time

 

[sneakies]

indeed !

the question is: *if* they got back to all 3 realms having their relcis back in keeps... will it go back to being stagnant? Lets face it, 3 keeps, then relic gates open, and then 15 mins to actually get the relic? If this occurs then who ever makes the first move on attempting a RR will end up having another realm helping!

Septic Peg see's some more interesting long sieges ahead, but where they will happen hazy!
