Atack on Altdorf


Day 1 on Iron Rock
Friday
Less than 6 hours after I transfer my character over to the new server Destro hits us and they hit us hard. With little organization on our side (god knows how much orginzaion the destro had) we were able to successfully whipe in the reckwald fortress. YAY! ok, not so yay, but we did manage to scrounge up a decent guild wb to keep them from getting past the Altdorf PQ.

Once in the Altdorf PQ it was pretty fun. Most of the guys in our guild that participated had a blast or at least didn't think it sucked. 6 hours of that same PQ sure gets old though, luckely we had people logging on and off to keep the wb up and keep destro out. All in all we successfully defended (if you call letting destro into our city and lighting fires everywhere successfull). But the point is they didn't advance. We lost no city rank due to the battles. Every thing goes back to normal and the zones reset.

Day 2
Saturday
They are back, more organized and angry that they couldn't finish what they started. So another evening of Altdorf PQ's. Meh, not so bad. Get gold bags out of it (some do) with Invader gear. It's not a total loss, and I get a TON of RP from those PQ's.

Day 3
Sunday
Destro just can't get enough and we can't defend the fort worth crap.
Altdorf PQ's once again.

Day 4
Monday
THANK GOD it's monday. Never thought I'd say that ever, but I was thinking that because its monday less people will be on and perhapse we could push the zones back a little. WRONG. Another Night of Altdorf PQ's. Should be ending soon though. They assulted at 3pm, and it lasts 6 hours.

So why do destro own us so badly?

1. Currently, we are outnumbered in ORvR. on the weekends it was full on both sides. So I don't think that is the whole reason, but it defenetly has an impact when Destro side is full and Order is still at Medium (today & sunday).
2. Fort defence is a joke. We could only fit two warbands (50 players) in to defend while destro had 5-6 warbands. Some one told me the attacker gets 150, not sure if thats true, but if it is it's no wonder that we can't defend a keep. This also has me realize how few destro their were on Ungrim, they couldn't take our keeps if we had a solid defence and they "never" had 5 full wb's hitting em.
3. Organization is truly a key in this game. It wasn't untill we had Altdorf PQ's going that we could set up a solid Defence, for the 2.5 hours that I played we kept destro at bay in our PQ, though we failed to succeed in finishing one.

Perhapse the system needs a little tweaking. Purple bags in Altdorf PQ's will be better with this next patch so don't open your purple bags yet! idk, I'll ponder on this more after a break.
