Abermenai

Just for a change from the normal stuff in Emain. I'm organising a trip for Lords of England to the 1st battleground, Abermenai, on Wednesday evening about 7:30.
Posting here, because we would like some decent opposition. Went there last night, and it all consisted of portal keep camping, which is deathly dull in my opinion and made me ashamed of albion.
So if any mids out there feel like a laugh, and a bit of a rubble in the BGs come along.
Hoping to field about 1-2 full groups, and would really like to get some good open skirmishing going without endless camping.
Hope to see you there.

That's kind of the point, we don't want to zerg. I'd hardly call about 10-12 people a zerg, and that's what we're likely to field.
I wish people would stop complaining about us zerging. Was highly amusing to hear on IRC last night all the people complaining about the 4fg LoE zerg last night. We only had about 20 guild members on-line and several of those were crafting.
As always, the difference between perception and reality is rather too big.

In BG, 10-12 people is pretty much a Zerg due to the fact the place is so small, rarely does a fg leave MTK, always in 4's or maybe 6's more often than not solo.

My Hunter will stay safely tucked up in bed while you spread the blood of the people silly enough to go in.

I like BG when they are nice and quiet get some good one v one and some nice sniper action.

2fg would probably be a good amout of 1 realm if thats all there was and no bridge/pk camping, your forgetting about the other people in alb that will be there at that time.

It will turn in to a zerg, same goes for any guild regardless of realm that would try to put out 2fg.

probably a better option to run as 1fg, try to keep away from the rest of the people and have 1fgv1fg or 1fgv2fg battles.

I for one think they should make the BG areas bigger, a lot bigger with maybe more than 1 keep.

I see about 10-14 LoE in that picture. Hardly the zerg we've been accused of.

You guys should look at the big picture in BG whatever. The cap rate isnt that high and majority of people go there to have a little fun so dont want to accumulate rp to fast. Thats is the ideal time to sit back , not gank every moving thing there, try to initiate duels between enemies, if u find a smaller grp than yours leave the enemy ressers, theyll be back in the fight a damn site quicker. Dance with them, taunt them etc. lets face it mainstream RvR has some serious problems and this will be the last time u enjoy it so much. Its a shame u cant initiate chat grps with enemy realms it would be so much easier then.

Aye some kind of way to keep ressers alive would increase the fun enourmously.

I think Mythic missed some big opportunites with BG. They're all the same.

Should have 1 keep in BG 1, 2 in BG 2 and 3 in BG 3, each BG being slightly larger than the previous one and each BG scenery based on the realm it is named after. Hardly earth shaking changes but enough to get people into BG2 and 3 possibly.

With BG0 on the scene now, I guess 1 keep in there is fine, but at least change the layout.

Also up the xp for killing players, since some people (not me)would rather level that way.

Been there for a couple of nights now. Seems there are always enough albs (up to 2fg) and mibs (upto 10). Only thing I'm missing is Hibs. Why are there only about 2-3 hibs?

Far too many albs there in my opinion. Especially when they just start camping the portal keep. Very boring. The real fun was when they pull back to the central keep and let the mids out.
Much prefer it when it's even numbers.

As for the hibs, there were about 3 nightshades running around and occasionally popping up. A couple of manachanters and 1 bard also put in the odd appearance.

keep a look out for the Kobold Kommandos coming your way soon in a flash of green.

We're all in the process of getting ready to hit Aberwhatsit in numbers any day now.....

KK is a mix from Purple Warriors and Talons Reach who wanted to have some BG fun. Its unlikely we will hit before the weekend as both guilds have things on most of the week and there are still some chars who aren't quite ready yet.

When we do hit we should have around 2fg and the cries of "GO FOR THE KNEES!!!" will be heard around aberwhatsit striking terror (or humour) into the hearts of the albs and hibs everywhere :D

I've seen it happen a few times already. A kobold charging the albs while shouting "GO FOR THE KNEES!!" I was laughing so hard I even forgot to shoot the alb casters :D
Shame on me.... :eek:

Makes a nice change from emain and i am sure many mids would enjoy it aswell as albs.

Thanks for those mids who turned up last night in abermenai. Our group tried to keep out of chat groups and tried to avoid the other lots of albs who were around that night, so we ended up with a lot of good and reasonably matched skirmishes with yourselves, and no zerging or portal keep camping.
Really enjoyed the evening.

See you in Thidranki.

PS: /wave to Fluffi and Stabbae, capped out on you two after that little fight late in the evening.
