Great weekend for sieges!

It was a great siege weekend on Bartz, at some point if I get a chance I'll try to compile a small set of fraps from the Saturday Sieges (I usually can only get the wife to let me escape for one day of weekend sieging unfortunately!). So, this weekend I most of TD's Siege action centered around Oren. There were a few small distractionary attacks on our other castles but the biggest push for most clans/alliances were for Oren for some reason.

There was a pretty good showing from both sides, strong skirmishes from the onset. Around midway through Oren was lost to the attackers. The incumbent clan, The Business, came back to cast within the last 15 minutes of the siege, was tranced, began to re-cast and completed casting within the last 5 seconds of the siege!

It basically came down to this:


I can't remember seeing a cast closer than that in my short history of L2.

Another major plus is of course being up 853 rep points by the end of the siege.
Here's our numbers at the beginning of the siege, and part way through. I forgot to take a shot of our ending numbers, but when all was said and done we were up by 853, basically that means if NONE of us died during the entire siege we were killing badguys at the rate of about 7.1/minute. But considering we did take deaths that number's actually higher so I'd consider it safe to say we probably killed the opposing forces of Nova and Dominus more at the rate of about 8-10/minute.



...speaking of killing Nova, here's some more random screenshots:





You'll notice that one of them is telling us not to bring 2 groups for their 1 in pvp, but if you look at the wartags you'll see there are 10 there along with a few other dead nova offscreen/out of range. So...clearly they had more than 1 group there already, AND they had the blackscreen advantage...

Lastly, if you read my previous post- I was trying to get a 4sep group going for like a week or so but never managed to coordinate it well so a clanmate just gave me the recipe in exchange for a few lifestones I had in my wh (he has like 238473298 torches from FoG, so all I had to do was SM him to the NPC)...so this week I just turned in my relics to the NPC for the random recipe and guess what recipe I got?


Oh, the irony.

ps- there has been some talk on blah about the new combine buffs in CT1+, such as Prophets will now be able to do shield3/might3 in 1 buff, btb6/bts6 in 1 buff, SE's can do death whisper3/focus3 in one buff, etc.

There's some details of it on this russian site: http://forums.goha.ru/showthread.php?t=160538 . However, not being Russian I can only use google translate to get a rough translation of it. If anyone can provide some better translation of it and post it someplace like on blah, it'd be awesome!

Our dominant alliance on the server does the same thing when they lose, but they bot the lost xp back up, so why the bigg fuss then?
