With the changes to the Guards around the Relic Tower, it is now possible to use a Treb, and Volley, to hit the 3rd [Inner] RK door, and not aggro the Guards. With the last patch, these guards can't be damaged from outside the Keep, and they can't be pulled outside the keep. Last night on Tristan, Albion took 2 Relics from Midgard by using this strategy. Since no guards were aggroed or killed, the only message Midgard got was the 'Relics have been removed' message... and by that point, with groups having SoS and BoF, it's too late...
So, the fact that 2 groups can set up Trebs, take down the inner door, then have Minstrels and Infils stealth up and take 2 Relics, then run out and pass them to the other 2 groups, kinda makes me sick... I know Mythic didn't intend this 'side effect' of the recent Guard change, but it's something that needs to be addressed... Defending Relics is one thing... not being given a chance to defend them is insipid...

Relic guards need to be downgraded some and this needs to be changed. I'm told the hibs on guin got the doors at Myrrd down to 50% using this last night till someone spotted them. It was basically 14 people and had they not been spotted could have possibly got a relic.

"With the changes to the Guards around the Relic Tower, it is now possible to use a Treb, and Volley, to hit the 3rd [Inner] RK door, and not aggro the Guards."
This was possible before the guard change, but it was a second rate option behind the 3 ram stealth technique. Squelch one, the next in line moves up.

Aye it is possible, we succeeded in doing the same thing to Midgard last night, with only bullet ammo and a decent GT theres no way you can hit an enemy keepguard.
I do agree tho it is slimy and dorty (but tbh its about the only way we really had a chance ><.
If its any consolation it took 3 hours of trebbing, about 16 trebs (had to replace the first 8 as they ended up being unfixable eventually) and a hell of a lot of bullet ammo. But it got the job done.
The only way they can possibly prevent this from happening is to prevent trebs from being able to damage doors, which tbh I didnt know until recently they could anyway (I thought only ballistas and rams could touch doors).

Max lifespan on a treb should be about 80 minutes with repairs. Last 24 minutes if you don't repair. And they do crap damage on doors and aren't consistant (often fail to damage).
However, they aren't intended to take out doors (neither are ballista). It's come up before on the private boards.
