What happened to Operation Bring hell to Albion last night then?:)

[Castus]

Logged around 6pm with the battle cries sounding in as chat and comeback 3 hours later and where defending keeps in Mid what went wrong?

 

[Flimgoblin]

PV kept taking hurb 4 (bloody pbaoers got you in the end only took about 10 zillion groups and a lot of screaming of "DONT GO ON THE FECKING ROOF" plus feeding you RP with our uber leet group for 10m beforehand - uber leet being 2 smite clerics a fire wizard an earth theurg and a buffbot )

Was rather fun playing benny hill chases around the tower wall when I was the only alb alive on that level. For some reason when I smote them they just kept fighting, but when I stole their dex buffs they ran away

spread healing clerics and ST2/3 from 2 or more chars >>> roof camping Pbaer's IMO

Operation bring hell?

Looked more like operation ardamel farms at a tower to me.

 

[lofff]

and i thought thers a inner door to hell in costwold, and all those iconnus were litle demons with loads of make up

/shrug

We are used to play in hell mode, now lets test if you can

Reaver does them nicely too

the fact is, they got a map now, so they'll find stuff in their own frontier this time

indeed - gifv friars or reavers don't think we had either (at least not at first - someone dropped a TWF the second attack)

wall of flame seems to do a bit of damage but stacked ST (supercheese) is what you need.

My DD storm placed among the corpses made some pretty spam when the PR/EoY kicked in

 

[Glottis]

Ardamel can only camp docks now
And that is supposed to lead you to victory?

Usually its more for the fun of killing alb soloers or small grps, always just as fun as last time!

2 mercs with stun immunty is all you need

Did I mention yet that I hate reavers? Bring on the patch where they dont interrupt with their chants anymore

Sadly enough this is 1.72 and I dont think we'll see that patch before catacombs hits us... Why exactly did Mythic decide to patch to 1.71 instead of 1.72 for the next patch?

 

[Ardamel]

Personally I think we did pretty well and bringing hell to albion is a contineous operation, whether it means simply taking towers or going for keeps. The very minute albs feck up, they will lose keeps.

If you hate Reavers then I really doubt you would like 1.72.

Whilst 'fixing' the interrupts Mythic screwed up the Reavers LifeTap line. Most Reavers didn't know about it...but those that did had a ball.

Pity we probably won't get 1.72

Ain't happened yet tho has it - which i guess has surprised you.

Pre NF you could rely on Albs being apathetic, giving up after being farmed too often and not bothering about keeps (what was the point - no relics and no advantage from taking them).

Not now though. Want to know what happens of an evening? You get people logging on - some will join the offense BG/CG and some the defence. You get people asking where they're needed and what needs doing. So yeah - pure vision will keep taking Ren 4, so we let them sit there a while until everything is dealt with before kicking them out.

I'm guessing the fact that Alb is defending quickly every night is a genuine surprise to you - you were expecting to wear us down (ala killgordes relic raid), or as I think your real tactic is wear out our finances and resolve to hold keeps. Unfortunately this is flawed - if I makle money in rvr, then I have money to spend on repairs.

Good luck to you mids - the hibs have done a far better job of defending and attacking with much lower numbers.

I can only say what i have said 100000000+ times NF keep warfare sux so bad.................................................... uke: uke:

I try not to go for the same tower, though a couple of towers like Hurb-4 / Ren-4, they take a while for albs to get to... By that time, we usually have captured it...

I would like to roam more, but lately we've not been able to get good balanced groups (for roaming)... So to still have some fun in NF, we take a tower... And we almost always take a alb-tower, because at least the albs come out to play... Unlike hibs

I'm pretty sure Ardamel & Ladonna are cooking up a plan to kick your alb-arse and I'm sure PV will help with it

Had fun taking Hurb 4 off you last night... such squishy kobolds!

We *really* screwed up yesterday, everyone can make mistakes, cant they ?

 

[Brommix]
