@Dun Bolg - Phoenix Freeshard

The keep has been on fire for hours now.

All because of the grief play by one Scout who shoots a guard once then runs to keep the structure in combat. We ferret this jackass out and kill him, but hes back on a boat to continue griefing before the in-combat timer expires. This same player did this at Ailinne the other day after Albs failed a relic take.

If this is working as intended then this is absolute horseshit.

If the keep is on fire you cant repair dorrs that remain open ... easy to take a keep with open doors ...

If He keeps doing it, coming back after dying then surely a ns can just farm him for a bit until he gets bored?

Every realm exploits this mechanics, ain't grief play.

The scout would stealth up to the keep, fire one bow shot at a guard, then run to re-stealth and then shift position to repeat.

No guards were killed, zero damage was done to the keep in any way. Yet a single shot at a guard once every 5-6 minutes will force the keep to stay in-combat and un-repairable.

This went on for over six hours.

Waves of nightshades were hunting for this one guy, who I will not name, and killed him no less than 18 times. He simply boated back and fired a shot on a guard again inside the timer to reset it and the bullshit started all over again. The only way he was stopped was several sins camped the boat drops and perimeter of the keep in a desperate search to catch the fucker before he could shoot again and reset the timer.

Being forced to commit that many people just to counter a single player gaming the keep mechanics is fucking bullshit. You should, at a bare minimum, have to actually KILL a guard to reset the timer.

That is some crazy dedication and also sounds super boring. The scout couldn't have gained much from it though besides a few feathers and rps every once in a while for fighting near a keep. I guess his goal was just too piss people off and judging by your post, mission accomplished.

It's still hilarious though.

Sounds like a valid tactic to me
Not allowing a realm to ignore takes and just do their thing.

LOL! Maybe his job was just to piss you all off and divert nightshades to the area away from other areas?
If so, then he did his job correctly!!

Who is this ingenious fellow? Is there an honor that can be bestowed upon him?

Seeing last few days that on EU Evening time hibs have almost double of Mid stealther and 1/3 more than Alb, I think you can spare a few Luri's to stay at Bolg so they are not all camping in Uppland.

Number One: that's Textbook Griefing

Number Two: it won't be so funny when it's happening to you.

It's pretty short-sighted to support this behavior simply because it's happening to a realm that you don't like.

1. it's not griefing
2. idc what happens to any keep in this game. keep sieging is the lamest shit in the game imo.
