I didn't want to get into any animist discussions etc but every hib wants to bring up how innocent they are.


Well


I agree
Animists are a half finished bugged class that can't really compete against the albion/midgard caster class's, any animist who gets further than rr3 deserves respect (specialy ones that run in open rvr)
But think about this-

your an alb raid leader attacking a keep, you've just got the 2nd door down. You know there are 40 people with you attacking the keep. You also know there are 20 hib defenders in lords room (3 of which are animists)

You ask the Raid force to charge the lords room, pop every AoE effect they have and MoC etc and interupt like mad etc, the first merc runs into the lords room and dies to 80 odd shroom nukes, the other 39 albs back off as to say, i'm not going into that death trap. As a raid leader you know that if the 39 of them charge together, the shrooms would take out 3 or 4 albs pretty fast but you would totaly outnumber the hibs and interupt/kill them.

Unfortuantly no one wants to be the first few to go up there (read: die pretty fast) so as a raid leader you lead by example and lead the charge, you run into the room and die to shrooms, the rest of the raid backs off and starts calling for clerics with EoY to rez the raid leader :)

Same applys if a Banshee or 2 are spamming Cone DD's. no one wants to run into that shit so the whole BG stands still.


So to avoid any of the above happening, you attack at a time when you know there will not be enough Animists online to effectivly defend a keep.


You might find this sad as hell etc, but you wouldn't believe the ammount of times i've seen a Albion zerg held by a few Animists, i bet mids suffer the same. (no insta cc doesn't help)
3 Animists doesnt equal 80 shrooms afaik, & if i understand this part of your reply right, what your saying is, most Albs are thick as two short planks ?

Pretty much sums up most of us. :( You have to scream orders at them for 10 times and even then someone does something stupid. Talking to brick walls can sometimes prove to be more fruitful. :p But most of them are a nice bunch. And deadly afraid of getting killed and losing out on the fun. :p That's what causes the effect Bubble mentions, someone dies, everyone backs off. As long as noone dies, noone stops moving.

There are several very accessible ways of beating shrooms. I know, because I've had them used against me. Albs actually have one available to them that Mids don't. I'm not gonna tell you what they are, since then I'd be fighting myself, and I personally don't really mind if you wanna get up early and do a relic raid. However, I do resent you using the tired old "shrooms are impossible to beat", or "There are 1000 shroomers at every keep defense" or "animists are bug abusing their shrooms".

If you can only get 44 people on a Friday night, as you claimed, you would surely not expect to beat any kind of reasonable defense? There could be zero animists or banshees there and you'd have no chance of taking the relics with that few people. That being the case, stop trying to use shrooms as a scapegoat.

Problem is, everyone is always busy on a raid/arti camping/stealth zerging bridges/leeching realm points. You guys didn't announce the relic raid before you started, so it had to fit into everyone's tight PvE schedules. :p The reason we got 77 people out today was because it was posted on several forums and we could actually figure out where we would be needed when, without it messing up any PvE stuff. I usually drop anything I'm doing unless I'm almost done with what I'm doing for relic raids. Like that one you guys did a while ago. Shame my cleric couldn't log in anymore during the entire raid for some reason. (After I went LD) Had to log my paladin. :(

Maybe not have the memory of a fish and you will remember these things.

Oh and to all the "back to alb" sayers, I am still playing my bainshee :arti:
You have a very funny way of playing in this realm. I personally will avoid any raids you run. From some of your comments on FH I would say you are dangerously close to cross realming that said at least now we know we cannot seriously trust you.

Little bored of this "you were supposed to run pre-reqs" crap..I stated clearly the reason I was not running them. I stated clearly It's was not due to I was not online, it was due to me not being able to attend ml1 and ml2 on sat if you are really that bitter and stupid not to get the point after the 10th time I have said it then you have my pitty.

Also, sorry is the fact I still my albion chars that I have invested 170 days played time in some kind of fopar in Hiberna?
