So far I'm diggin the keep takes/defending! Just wish the "You have been awarded for successfully defending the keep" system was implemented now to make defense more enticing.

I agree with this 100%, and I think Blue may have something in mind for this with his RvR changes. I'm not for sure but I also think something like this should be thought about.

I know alot are complaining about the zerg's now, and I know when one realm zerg's it can be very frustrating to the other realms, but we cant ask for more people in RvR then get upset when we get what we asked for. The populations are usually fairly even at all hours. If one realm is truly zerg'ing (2-3 fg's+) then chances are they probably have some sub 50's and alot of low RR players. The other realms will either have to adapt and bring their own similiar players or lay back and let the others zerg take all the keeps. I dont see a problem with this. I will take a zerg filled frontier over an empty frontier any day of the week. Even if I may cuss up a storm when said zerg kills me on my solo ranger.

last 2 days were just pure fun on european primetime

OMG - this changes may have done the trick - lots of action lots of fun !!!

gogo pvp ppl !

If you call zerging keeps good PVP.

well the alb zerg today made around 15k and we where the smaller zerg and got sandwiched several times, was a hard day for us but still 15k isnt bad and the clerics in my grp made around 20k.

I would think the mids and hibs made more than that.

I join realy on sunday 22h20 with my bomber 49, 10k on alb (surs+beno+bold+retaking fensa+hild), this was the less fun part cause we only encounter 1fgh, but i take it like a training (rams/lead) for the realm to start frontiers pvp habit.

Sooner, Hibs had take fens with many ae casters against mid masses, alb came also !

maybe 3 realms war sill start again, refund you as and go !

the roaming ppl and 8/8 encounters can live in this server, it miss casu guys taking objectives, it's now to take your part on pvp life of this server !

I was leading the hibzerg last night and made 24k. and yes, it was a lot of fun. all three realms were fighting each other and no realm did quit after one loss.
And i usually prefer 8vs8, but there are no 8-men around these days, so i will continue building the zerg for the HKRC (Hibernian Keep Raid Crew). See u tonight in Odins.
And dont forget: Fill the ram!

Well it was fun but RP wise it is a disaster.

Mids just dont upgrade there keeps anymore gratz for that, so you make 500 RP per keep.
Made 14k in 5h with my ranger. Not worth it if you do it for RP.
So please fix Relic Guards as soon as possible and make the Relic Bonus live like 10%

Just give a minimum RP Bonus of 1.5k-2k RP per Keep, if you dont want to get your keep raided, set it to lvl1 is the way to go atm. That s conflictive wtih the goal of this RP increase to benefit of better Keep rewards

if i am not mistaken we had the livelike keep def bonus here on Uthgard with NF, and Abydos even found the exact formular in some other thread... at least we already had this somewhere in another thread.
This was a smart system that is hard to abuse (as you need to kill opponents near the keep for a bonus), the reward was not too big but a nice bonus for deffers.

Atm it seems that the changes make really other zones as emain again attractive... yesterday was a real big hib zerg in mid frontiers with somewhat over 70+ not anon hibs versus up to 50-60 hibs ^^ But atm we loose somehow, too many lows and ranom grps with no right setup and sometime wrong leader strategy make us problems But hey, anyway more action, is better as ask 1h for grp and find nothing to kill in emain.. or be farmed by rr10+ hib/alb grp

Unfortunately too many high mid chars (nearly complete Grachengarde as example) play atm GW2 so we just have a lot of rr1-4 (yesterday one of 50 in my grp hitted 1l3 ) mids and just some high rrs for defense Think its time for a new Blue Sunday

Blue Sunday?! ATtm its its blue-red-green-evening everyday

mistake!!! is BLOODY SUNDAY

trololololol

So it's seems that mass fights (zerg for some) around keeps take all players for some days now. Ok it's "new" here so many ppl follow this movement. It's another livelike moment cause we see realm trying to organise themselves to attack or defend lands (leaders pop, mass strategy and tactics, communication between scouts/fg/mass) and it's realy cool.

Meanwhile, I remember trolls about "zerg killing pvp", "real pvp is on emain", "mid zerg mga killing everything"....

So where are you guys on emain ?
Yesterday only few albs then 1 fga on emain in 8/8 roaming configuration.

So trolls finaly come on zerg pvp or maybe just disepear ?!

It's gonna be the second moment, i hope, when mass around keeps in different frontiers AND fgs roaming in emain in need on 8/8 fights, when server gonna offer variable sorts of pvp (fg/mass/stealth war-smal men).


But for now, "masses" are not on emain but 8/8 fanboys are not there to, so classis eternals liars about "zerg" are finaly......... so wrong ?
