About New Fronteirs

[atos]

This goes out too all midgardians and any other randoms who might not know this yet.

READ AND LEARN!

Try to have as many towers as possible claimed at lvl 10 in our own fronteir.

Learn how siege equipment work and learn what type of siege equipment works best vs different things (other players, walls and other siege machines).

Learn to take orders and don't run around like headless chickens thinking you are able to solo that keep or zerg on your own.

And one last thing use the assist command even if you aren't grouped with that other hunter/caster beside you. It _will_ make a difference belive me.


Yes, I'm a bit frustrated.

At least keep all towers claimed

http://daoc.djswifty.com/ <--- Really cool web to learn.
Use Tips:
Trebuchet vs Keep/Tower walls
Ballista/Pallindome vs siegue weapons
Catapult vs people ( with special ammo if u can )
rams vs .... I dont think this might be a problem.

Learn to take orders and don't run around like headless chickens thinking you are able to solo that keep or zerg on your own.

Thats really true.

And one last thing use the assist command even if you aren't grouped with that other hunter/caster beside you. It _will_ make a difference belive me.

Tip : Make this macro :
/macro A/T /assist %T
And just select a player of ur realm and use the macro.

Not really. A quick look at this URL yields the following:

UPDATE FOR NEW FRONTIERS!!!
This whole site is obsolete! Yay! I'm glad so many of you found it useful back in the day, but I'm not going to be doing any updates for New Frontiers. I'm not even playing DAoC anymore. For up-to-date info, I'm forced to throw you to the wolves. I'm sure it's totally 100% accurate and easy to understand. If you need to contact me for whatever reason, email celer@djswifty.com and throw DAOC in the subject or something.

The site is archived below for historical purposes.

Just for basics is not bad, if u really wanna know how to use a siegue weapon, test it. Shoot mobs, use a friend to drop a coin and aim it... Is not fun but is usefull

I spoke to appendix (BaF) last night and Aldoran (DH) to say in their /as that we need 7 towers claimed (this was yesterday). Just look at hibbs... they got all their towers claimed, how hard is it for a guild who hasent got anything claimed, to grab some ppl and go claim a tower??

If u are in such a guild, pls take your guildfriends out in the frontier and do /gc claim

Yeye Im a born roleplayer

 

[remi]

you only need 4 people in group to claim a liddul tower, should be easy too fix

Thanx for stateing the obvious

 

[atos]

Obviously its needed as mid apperars to be 90% clueless fotm rerollers from alb excal.

And I would like to know how you are supposed to face and engage an enemy archer when he is out of face range.

*tries to get Mythics attention*

*Mythic adds atos to ignore list*

 

[Zebolt]

Such qq Trollum xD

 

[atos]

Fu it's well deserved. I hope they take our relics soon and get over with it so I don't have a reason to play anymore.

 

[Gizor]

To be honest, you should start working on that retirement thread as soon as possible mateh! ;o

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

Zebolt, I like ye normally, but here...

SHUT UP. You know it's true what Atos says... There are major things that needs addressing in midgard cos noone listens, noone cares and everybody runs around like headless chickens resulting in everybody dying.

Ye got my support Trolly

Nevermind me, just bump this one https://forums.freddyshouse.com/showthread.php?t=38176

 

[Oldfaravid]

well I was there this morning and I understand why trollum is upset.. we were 16 people in a BG and attacking bled(the people in bg actually was there) actually we couldnt take down second door on bled keep.. had one defender inside to start so would have been easy but people wouldnt listen.. the fact that probably 25% was afk didnt make it better.. You think that it would be easy to get the tanks/non ranged people into a ram and the healers to keep healing em while the ranged people focus on taking out who ever comes near the oil.. most people just stood in the yard spinning around, running out to check for albs etc.. well the nr of hibs grew and grew and suddenly we couldnt even stay on yard.. :kissit: we deserved to get our asses handed to us and that was exactly what hibs did.. must have been funny for 2-3 defenders that held the keep for 30min- 1hour...

 

[Belomar]

Thanx for stateing the obvious

Eh, it obviously isn't obvious to everyone, thus it needed to be said. Geez, some people.

 

[atos]

I should psot the same thing in the Alb/Excal forums probably.

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

heh, don't you dare, I'm a hib on excal

 

[Frust]

I understand if Trollum is upset with the way the Midgard defense is (un)organized. Dont flame him for his posts, hes one of the few who dares to take the bulls by its horns and do something about it. So STFU all QQ'ers unless you are willing to take his place if he decides to quit. He wouldnt be the first constructive player to be whined away from Mid/Pryd.

 

[Zebolt]

Zebolt, I like ye normally, but here...

SHUT UP. You know it's true what Atos says...

Are you rly sure you like me? Last time you said you would punch me xD

Yes, I know what Trollum say is true, well at least some of it. What I do disagree with tho is his way of saying it. He makes it sound like he is better than the rest and that is not a good leader quality, so actually I think he should be the one to shut up this time and learn how to get midgard going as he is obviously trying to do. By saying stuff like:

Fu it's well deserved.

Will not get him far, I can tell you that ><

.. There was NOTHING constructive about his post in anyway. it was a whine. Constructive actually means to build on the negative point. He is just dishing out orders.

Maybe U and him should take the time and effort into making a post, or even website for newbies, being friendly and explaining general tips and ideas, commands, common traits, and explain just how NF works, explain how spell damage is caluclated in all forms of of buffs/enhancements, how melee damage is calculated, speed, resists, complete guide to TOA items and quests,


Or, STFU yourself instead of telling others to do so.

Instead of whining cause someone made a mistake, politely /tell him/her in game what s/he can do to improve on that aspect.

 

[atos]

What are you supposed to do when please and begging dosn't work?

This thread only brought up the things needed to make midgard a more comfortable realm to play in where realm defence works as in the old days.

And Teknoid thats the way I am these days. Live with it or do something yourself.

I wont login for a couple of days as it will only force me to look at that realmwar map seeing red and green colors all over it. This will result in me trying to be at every place at once trying to politely organise people and when they don't listen I'll get all frustrated and upset after using every inch of my patience. Which will cause me to logout in a matter of seconds. 20 to be exact.

 

[Zebolt]

Don't know if anyone noticed but today we had no leader at all and we got our first enemy keep since NF... Just a thought

Yeah, was quite nice to get that ram up and working, and see it actually get that damned door down. =)
And I dinged RR5 aswell.

[Starwind]

OK i was there last night , when all this was going down and i was there with the others when we took the keep back, yes we took the keep back, but the problem was , we are trying to be too tactical in our own back yard, thats why we didnt take it back the first times, we must charge, all of us.

And when we get a hole in the side of the keep we MUST get in to the inner ground and hold it, even if you die a 100 times.

Charge!!!!!!

ahh the memories of pre si and toa rvr....everyone just thought charge!!! was sooo much fun for runie cos cud aoe the crap outta the lil silly people and they died! along with hammars of dooooom ( this is ofc pre people using CC )

 

[Belomar]

( this is ofc pre people using CC )

Yeah, sure, only there never was a "pre-CC" time. In the early days of the game, Healers could chain-stun and did so.

And what's wrong with you, Teknoid? Trollum gave 4 rather exact directives that Mids should think about in NF. That is constructive even if it was clothed in somewhat frustrated wording, regardless of your own little personal definition of the word.

is this coming form the guy that takes 15 mins to set up a ram?

QUOTE]

not really...at start people didnt bother with CC as much tbh and was more about damage and aoe'ing the crap outta things. Not that dramatic as u making it out to be with healers.

oh and learn that means joking m8 before u get all defensive about healers before...was a joke about thanes and runies aoe'ing.
