Well done \o/

[aveh]

Was it pre-planned, or did you just decide to take advantage of hibs having us tied down at Bledmeer for most of the night?

 

[frogster]

Afaik i know it was a random bg that started with keep taking around 7pm and just escalated into a RR.

Well done to Snuggles and Flombert for leading the BG and ofc the hibs that snuck in after we did all the work

 

[Dwali]

yeee i join with my lvl 20 thurg...thought i get some XP with the GG...took some keeps then i heard that we where going for relics

 

[delete]

<sarcasm>
must have been rly hard
</sarcasm>

 

[Gwydion]

relics

All mid could see we held 4 of your keeps when you were defending bled- surely it would have occured to someone not to leave bled as a red keep with half the walls below 40%. Before the whines start about this raid it was ongoing from 7pm so dont even bother to moan about it- you had the chance to stop us and didnt.

All in all a fun time was had by all albs, much appreciated.

 

[scarloc]

Well done darky and flom, went smoothly :]

Now nn!

 

[aveh]

Strangely enough, middies have brains too, and knew that a relic raid was on when Albion had Hlid/Blend and were knocking on Glen's doors while Hibs had us tied down at Bledmeer.

It's just that noone from Maelstrom with the power to upgrade the keep was online at that point. Guess you had a bit of luck there. Still, regardless of whether Bledmeer was a level 8 keep or a level 10 keep, it was your numbers and organisation that won the day. Even with twice as many Mids we would have had a hard time stopping you.

And nerf Kklas and his javelins of annoyance.

 

[Gwydion]

middies have brains too...

i wasnt insinuating at any stage that anyone failed to have a brain- if you took offence then it was not my intention and i apologise.

with regards to numbers we had 41 people in the bg at time of relic capture which wasnt masses - but congrats go to the leaders who kept everyone focused and pulling in the same direction for once.

[Darklis]

It seems as it gets to about 9pm UK time we seem to have really nice alb BG's where people listen and work together.

All I can say is it was a fun night. and thanks to all the people in the Bg that helped, 1.5 bottles of wine later and works in 3 hours.. nerf

Also sounds like we had a bit of luck with the Maelstrom keep, although big ouchies the first time we tried there!

Back to normal

re. the title "back to normal" only thing hibs need to do now, is to wrap the power relic in for the albs to pick up at 24 DEC as a christmas present. Then we have the same situation as we had not long ago, before nf came. They will "AS USUAL" guard eachother and let us from the free world of the northern hemisphere suffer for the lack of obedience, to our leaders.

you might agree, you might get pissed on me for writing this, but i cannot keep quiet, and as we are living in a "free" world i just take the liberty to say my opinion.

What happned here is a little similar to the invasion of poland 1 sep 1939

Albs are the germans, that in great numbers flow our borders, and have done so since NF came. they have a good skill, VERY good dicipline which pays of in great numbers of players that will go for their target, stick to their plan, and for all FOLLOW THEIR LEADER, SHUT UP AND OBEY WHAT HE TELL THEM TO DO, AND WHEN TO DO IT.

Hibs are the Stalin era Russians, they tumble along with their allies, sticking to the non aggression pact (molotov-ribbentrop) and get the crums that the albs leave behind. Their forces are fewer in numbers but have some high quality players / chars. hib is the leecher realm overall, as they run into a flok of mids, pbaoe and run away again without hurting the albs, no news in that, this is their normal business.

Mids are the hopless polish forces, on horseback with lances, that charge panzers, while discussing their leaders dispositions, and they are never more than 2 FG together, cause they have heard some wise man say that if you Solo, or if you go in FG aganist FG, or max 2 fg you get far more RP than if you are in a Zerg (Zerg = negative word in mid). Mids clap your heels and say Jawohl when the raid leader gives an order. Then cut his head afterwards, if he was wrong. Too often too much valuable time gets wasted, in discussions that are irrelevant at the time.

I dont like the enemy, but i can tell when we have been fools, too many mids are stuck in rvr like when they ran MPK ->MMG -> APK in Emain, before NF. STOP it, or find another game to play, this is not a counterstrike or call of duty clone. This game is about 3 countries at war against eachother.

You might just say about this comment: why does that guy not take command himself, when he thinks he is so wise, and I am NOT, im not the big rvr player, for me it is far more important to have a functional guild, where ppl are happy to play and stay in, than getting myself a lot of rp. The reason why i might have a different view of things is that i before daoc came, mainly played strategy games, and that i have a military education in real life.

Well atleast I don't have to lead that bunch of cattle anymore.

I belive I could have made a difference if my physical health had been better. Stay away one night from daoc and mids lose keeps. =(

Nicely done, but as so many times before we got outnumbered.

Nothing to fight for anymore so I think I might take this chance and recover a bit. Less gaming 4tehwin. =)

I think hes upset

 

[Sun_Tzu]

Was it pre-planned, or did you just decide to take advantage of hibs having us tied down at Bledmeer for most of the night?

Well, it was more or less random. I know i spent most of our time repairing the walls at Hlidskialf for a few hours - it was just after AoD and co had wiped mids again that Flombert reformed the BG and started heading for Glenlock.. maybe 8-9 pm ish?

And well, I always seemed to be rooting for the hibs - I at least was expecting them to take bledmeer and that we'd run into them as we were taking glenlock/notts and hibs might grab both...

Luckily, hibs died, bledmeer had the snot kicked out of it so we went and grabbed it after notts

Only problem though, was well...

We didnt realize you cant drop boats in enemy territory apparently. We had some boats but couldn't place any down...I wound up suiciding and grabbing a scout boat on my alts to sail over to midland and pick up Mankkslash (Kklas dropped the relic when he tried to submerge...learn something every day !

Well, grats to Albion, and grats to hibbies for...err, distracting midgard and mooching a relic.

 

[Deepfried]

well done mrs deep and God<flom> shame i had to leave around 12.45am
just too dam old to stay awake that long
was a fun night indeed

couldnt agree more.

mids dosnt deserve relics. When i went to bed last night, there was roughly 40 mids who followed in a zerg/defence (that includes BO, Maelstrom and SC gank squads) the rest (half the bg) and over 180 mids just didnt give a shit about the realm defence.

to be honest im disgusted by the way mids have been in the defences, just a small core of people who cares about the realm.

i say grats to the hibs and albs for beeing smart enough to take use of this advantage and to the mids i say: have fun trying to take back the relics, you wont manage before the next reset and deffo without a leader/group of leaders who cares more then you.

i also think its funny that GoA considers hibs underpopulated..
straight out to you GoA: pull your heads out of your fucking a*ses and watch how it works ingame for f*cking once you useless pieces of sh*it hibs are as underpopulated as there is a kobold who is taller then 2m.

quote from a defence bg:
Mid: What do we do when both albs and hibs attack us?
Dwera: We cancel our subs, pre order WoW and screw goa right over. Thats what ive done.

 

[Tuffir]

At least we try to defend that.
Logged at 2 A.M and we still have bleedmeer. Fight in that defense till 10:30 PM against hib zerg, with alb zerg taking other keeps. It's really hard to keep midgard safe with 2 zergs hitting non-stop all keeps.
Congrats to all mids who help with wood, work and his fight to keep safe bleedmer, we defend that keep plenty of wall holes, with lord tower at 0 when we started. Defeat hib zerg at 2 pm ( Really late for me ), i think alb one atack later and whipe u all.
GOOD WORK ALL PEOPLE THERE 40 Mids defending the kingdom, but we need more people for win this war!

Congrats albs and hibs ( yeah they do a great work too ) for this success relic raid.

 

[Yma]

Well.

Fighting against far superior numbers (and yeah, I agree the underpopulation bonuses on Hibernia are utterly ridiculous atm) and siege classes is already a difficult task. Patch 1.70, Midgard had like 9 relics total in all USA servers - let's be happy we resisted so long, and consider that Midgard players number fell abruptly after NF: being late in patches is a bless (far less bugs) and a bane (people can and will move realms knowing what's after).

But back to the topic ... this task, if we have also to fight ourselves, becomes an impossible task - spitting on your realm mates will just cause them to care even less about rvr. This is a game, not RL, here you have alternatives: are you losing ? You can try to fight back or you can switch sides or even switch games. If you really want your realm to fight back, the last thing you need is to let the few Midgard players left lose even more morale, and in turn being tempted by easier moves.

So, cheer for those Mid that fought overnumbered and underpowered against the enemy hordes. We'll have better times in better patches, now it's time to prepare the revenge instead of crying on our shoulders.

 

[Frozenheart]

After reading this i actually feel sorry for the Mids ..... was totally an unpre-meditated RR, just took the chance when it arose ..... Gratz to Alb for doing all the work ..... i would say gratz to hibs but nothing special about picking off seconds, lol! just kidding ... gratz hibbies!

Was funny carrying the relic back, i felt a bit like Gollum with my prescioussssssss!

Btw Want To Sell ..... Horn Of Valhalla .... pm me hehehe

And u tested that before abs and hibs, fear the moment the sleeping kingdom wake up and assaut ur frontiers , we are not going to stop till ur main land start to flame too

wtf u on about?

as for population, yes Hib does have smallest population but u cant blame us for the fact u couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery. Albs had 2 key mid (1 after taking advantage of hibs work) keeps Wednesday nite wtf u think they were going to do then, u had 24 hrs to prepare... tough shit, get over it.... suppose u miss OF and ur zerging of old emain

 

[TiwiS]

1st albs get the double team
2nd mids get the double team

shall we all go to the "underpopulated" realm tomorrow?

 

[Mojo]

shall we all go to the "underpopulated" realm tomorrow?

no point, we have a solo animist at each keep

 

[Yeke]

aww, now where was that post regarding mids fighting hibbies whilst albs were sieging them at the same time

anyhow well done.

 

[Mojo]

1st albs get the double team
2nd mids get the double team

On our first RR attempt on albs mids tried to farm hibs, and on the seccond RR on albs, mibs ummm tried to farm hibs and albs.

Both times i was sat thinking how retarded the mids were for not taking advantage and that if they did at the time albs would most likely have no relics, but to bad for you eh!

Double team, well yes
Pre-Meditated, NOPE

And another point regarding being double teamed

Day 3 of NF
Albs on Crim and Mids on Bolg hrhhrhrhrhhrhrh hibs spanked you both, well the mushrooms did

 

[Wholdar]

couldnt agree more.
to be honest im disgusted by the way mids have been in the defences, just a small core of people who cares about the realm.

Actually Dwera, somewhere the game must be fun aswell. We´ve been constantly defending (except for 4-5 days) since NF-release. I for one have had it for a while, it´s just no fun. =)

Defending can sometimes be fun, but then it requires a few solid groups (not just groups of 2-3 persons) and a leader thats fun to follow. It is a game - it is all about having fun, after all. I´ve been a part of several defences when it´s constantly going on in the BG that all are headless chickens and can´t cooperate, and all suck, and all are chickens, and stupid, and arseholes - after a while it just gets a bit too much, a few times I´ve just quit the BG so I don´t have to see all the insults.

I cannot blame anyone in mid that rather do other stuff ingame than constantly defending, or getting yelled at in /bg when we´ve again and again are being outnumbered or outshroomed - or sometimes just pwned. =)
Not everyone have their RvR-gear in place, or have a char that they constantly want to play in the frontier. People must have a chance to sometimes just do other stuff than defending - exping their arti´s, camping arti´s, doing ML´s, farming for scrolls, exping alts - and they must be allowed to do so without being yelled at.

Now it´s 2 weeks before Christmas and I have yet to figure out what to buy to my family, I have a house to christmas-fix, plans to prepare, last night I just couldn´t convince myself to go out in the frontier, I played an hour or so in Thid on excal (with wife and kids. =)), and then I for once watched TV with my family. =)

Nice work Albs and Hibs, and I´m glad you enjoyed the evening. =) And I´m also glad that you haven´t had to endure the constant defending that mid has since NF-release. Hope you have lots of fun in the frontier with the POWAH of the RÄLICS the coming weeks, my gimpy thane will probably be there to annoy you with my über cast-speed and wtfpwn:ing dd:s in a few days/weeks.. =)

Very understandable, us Hibs got same problem for weeks when we tried to defend our Power Relics in OF before losing em, and we all take a breath of fresh air after that, but this game had, has and will have his up side down for all realms; i have no doubt we gonna see Mids back on their feets soon.

 

[Keres]

no point, we have a solo animist at each keep

xD

Sending ya a christmas card for that one

 

[Bubble]

hmm?

So the mids defending Bledmeer knew the albs were after the relics but didn't suicide on the Hibs and go defend?
As for numbers-
Midgard as the same or MORE people than albion and hibernia, its not our fault that ALL our RvR was in one area instead of split around various keeps etc.

 

[Rudor Dwarf]

Gahn im not very sure of that .
Good ppl leave like every day in mid (prolly in all realms).
And the new players well they dont exist.
So i dont think mids will see any relic b4 they reset em.

But all bad thing bring some good stuff aswell. We have now no reason at all to deffend us vs alb, hibs or them both at once that have happen loads of times and sooner or later we will fail vs 2 realms.
