Ok this turned into a "What realm zerg most".. which wasn't my intention to bring up.

The point was that you don't have to cancel ML raids/Dragon Raids/Keep Raids etc.. to check out the Relic keep. It takes about 1min to run from svasud to Mjollnir without speed. And even if Albion took down two doors with the engage tactic from the point the bot died to people gathering in svasud we still have a chance to defend it. IF! the one who got the bot are sleeping... if he isn't then he can call reinforcements very fast :>

Couldn't care less.

9 hours for you to retake em vs 33 minutes for us to get em back

I know which I prefer.

Or we could let you hold the relics for 2-3 days and do a 30 mins guaranteed success (if you aint alb ofc, you know how to fail morningraids with 150+ people) raid and get all 3 back. Thats 3 relics in 30 mins or less if we go straight for excal, now tell me how you get all 3 in 33 mins using engage.

Would love to see Mids get relics in 30 mins from pull at Excal to back in Mjollner with 63 ppl at midnight GMT. Looking forward to congratulating you when you do it.

Well you see I play Midgard.. we can actually move solo.. so it is enough if one mid in uppland see the deathmsg and move to mjollnir to check it out.. and you will see if the guards are engaged or if it was some random noob infil.

But of course.. you play Albion.. can't move alone to Excalibur.. have to call off all raids etc and move with 500 people to check it out. :kissit:
lol

I remember the mids waiting to form fotm groups to defeat the log out herbal raid....was a joy to see.

So much for moving solo eh?

Who is talking about midnight? Who is talking about 63 people?

Well, we Albs enjoy a challenge.

We all know which realm consistently shirks from one.

Next time, think before you answear? mmk? pretty please?

(I will explain one more time, you don't have to cancel a ML/Keep/Dragon/killthealbzergatamginemain raid before you are 100% sure that alb are attacking mjollnir when an AFK bot dies. You only need at least 1 solo Mid, running solo.. to mjollnir... oh did I mention he can run solo? If albs are wanking on our relic doors.. then the SOLO mid can call reinforcements... I never talked about relic keep DEFENCE.. just someone to check out mjollnir when an AFK spybot dies.)


SOLO !!

Would take an eternity whilst stealthed.

And don't make me laugh by saying a Mid non-stealther would run solo.

You are just acting stupid, right? You understand what he mean, but try to tease him by acting like you dont? Tell me I am right.

Hmmm, very suprised that no-one has bought up this point yet. Why exactly is it impossible for mids to have beaten the alb relic raid force? 50 albs with 20-30 yellow-purp guards on them. All it takes to kill them is a pbaoe group or a ranged nuker group nuking them from the safety of the keep itself. Hell even just PF strike on the healers with a few SBs would slow them down a lot. Or is the argument in fact that midgard doesn't have 8 lvl 50s online from 11:30-12:30 or whenever the raid force was at the relic keep?

I'm pretty sure at ANY time, even if the engage tactic had of been done at 5am, the 30 people online can probably still wipe the force purely because of the vast number of guards on the attackers.

8am on a weekday with however much of a zerg of 80+...that's just overkill

Have you not been reading the threads.Mid cant defend against it because THEY DONT KNOW ITS THERE.Yes i agree once discovered the Albs would b pretty easy to kill but with these new tactics unless somebody happens to be at the relic keep not a soul knows the relics under attack until they go neutral.Albs moan at mids doing alarm clock raids and NPC killing,mids moaning at Albs for NPC holding not even killing them so both realms are fighting NPC's only so both tactics have the same effect,you only fight NPC's.

mids retailiated approx 30 mins after albs had the relics, the raid lasted all night. So if the alb one wasnt a mornin raid neither was the mid one.
Specially since Aussie so elequently pointed out the raid is based on the time it started.
If albs did the raid at a descent hr the responce would have been at a earlier time.

The raid started at 23:00 GMT, which was when we began gathering Rams, porting to Odin's and moving to the Relic Keep... so it was in fact a night time (and prime-time) raid, by your own definitions!

If you'd ever actually ever tried engaging 15+ high purple cons, you might have a better appreciation of how difficult it is to hold all of their attention, focus that attention on you rather than others who are busy doing other things AND not to kill them (particularly with yellow/orange con patrols)... It requires a great deal of skill, concentration and teamwork on the part of the engage groups, and is certainly very challenging.

So far I've declined from bringing my Paladin and participating in the engage side of things on these raids, as I much prefer playing with siege equipment and 30 minutes of continuous twisting is really quite tiring!

The people who´re insisting that 1AM is by definition morning (not night) are the same who argued endlessly about the fact that the millenium did NOT start on 1.1.2000. Like anybody cares.... :)

This is just meant for the mids out here who seem to feel the need to justify their casual night of fun with Ardamel.

The designers of this game made it impossible for members of different realms to talk to eachother ingame. This has two purposes. First of all they won't be able to notify eachother of plans, and crossrealming is strictly forbidden by the CoC. Secondly, it gives you kind of a carte blanche where hostile actions are concerned. You are allowed to do anything to the enemy - he is, after all, your enemy. Your nations are at war and you have to do anything to keep your mothers and sisters, sons and daughters from being assaulted by hundreds of (RP-)horny albs or other enemies. Same goes for albs and hibs of course.

I understand that these boards are for most people just a whinefest, but I still get confused when I try to find some interesting conversations and I see a 20+ page whine. Albs, you beat the system taking those relics without tipping mids off until 10 seconds before they went neutral. Good for you. Hardly any mids whining (I didn't see any). Not that the technique will last into New Frontiers, but I salute you for finding it.

Non-primetime raids however have been around since the dawn of time and never have Mythic or GOA taken action against it. Just like zerging, it is part of the game. People should just grow up and accept it. If they don't, well shame to them. Mids shouldn't care. Lameness has nothing to do with it. It was just meant as fun (Ardamel started by saying, let's bring hell closer to Albs, and didn't mention relics at all). They are allowed to do what they did, this is a 24-hour game. If you don't like it, go find one that shuts down after 2 AM.

Mids you don't need to justify anything. This is what realm wars are about. Have fun all
