Comeback after lost Keep - Order made it first on 26.01. - 27.01.

Post#1 » Fri Jan 27, 2017 7:00 am

Yesterday saw some of the fiercest battles in Kadrin Valley.

And Destro was capable of taking the Order Keep.
From there it is usually only a question of time till the Zone lock comes after taking 3 of the 4 BOs.

But not yesterday!

Order hold enough BOs to stall the Zone lock and even took the Keep back after the Destro lord was up.
Then around 8pm Altdorftime Invasion, Beavers and the Bittertone Thunderers roamed the Realm and everything was ready for Order to take the Destro keep. But alas, it was too late. In the East European Timezones it was quite late, so Invasion and Beavers had to call the attack off.

Destro came back and captured in a short order the BOs and locked Order in its warcamp.
Order Moral was at an downpoint and it looked like Destro would win the day. But with Osri and the Radiant Knights a new power emerged and we made it into the keep which was then attacked by Destro. As I said Order coordination was at an downpoint at this moment, so anything like a back and forth on the BOs was not feasable at that time.

Two times we defended the Keep and then after the doors came up we took the fight again to the BOs. AAO was 120%.
But with each additional BO taken it dropped 10%.
Until Order was finally at the keep and sieging it. Outer went down fast and when we were at inner Destro reinforcements came in from the Warcamp. But the Bitterstone Thunderers blocked the postern door and let none pass. When 12 Destros entered the Keep through postern the Lord was already dead.

But fighting didn't ceased after this. On the contrary, Destro was capable of taking BOs back and forth until finally before their last push on Gromril Junction the Zone was finally logged.

That was one hell of an evening and for some of us a whole day.
So as far as we know this is the first time a Zonelock was adverted after loosing your keep and turning it into a Zonelock on your side.

And Order made it first. :)

It was a ton of fun! Some grouchy people from being up so long and moments of mass confusion. But, so worth it. I love comeback victories, and this topped them all!

I must have spend 12 hours in KV yesterday :D I don't know what happened to Destruction once we took the order keep, all we had to do was keep the bo's. Order was still having aao, but then everyone in the warband I was in left it, and all went afk in the keep hoping the zone would lock anyway. Anyway congrats order ;)

Started the day fighting in KV. Went to work and came back nine hours later with a battle still raging! Logged Rorgi and got stuck right in again! Amazing!

Well it took us only six hours. :D
Special mentioning here of ComissarG who lead the Open Order warband for longer than some people work each day.

For the record:Destro was hitting Lord Room when the huge crashes happened. That's the main reason why Order wipe Destro. There was a lot of great fight before we destroyed inner door. Roaming, fighting for supplies, raming the door. And then Lord Room...No thanks.
