Albs getting lazy?

[salamurhaaja]

For the last couple of days it seems that all albs can do emain is to run to their own milegate and wait there for enemy to show up?

Been watching the situation from side whit my sb when mids and hibs try to lure some albs to chase them whitout succeeding.

This kinda zerging forces other realms to zerging too, when albs finally move when there's big zerg enough to run over anything.

I miss 1fg vs 1fg Haven't been fun playing for some time whit rm.

Hey Salmurhaaja

i love when you take a peek in Sauvage always some nice encounters we have, keep coming there and you should try Odins too, there is the fg action youre looking for.

Avoid Emain its only zerging, dont know about gorge thou, you could check out that spot too.

best of luck - hope we meet soon in the frontiers


best regards

I agree! Some people have referred to zerging being the result of the bottle-neck MG's create, but that's just crap imho. Albs seem to only ever go as far as AMG, or crauch at a push if they want DF open. Mids have to travel that little bit further, as their mg is as far up land as you can go almost, so they come down to amg, but also rarely any further.
Why only come just inside our frontier? I've been to mid/alb frontiers on many occasions, with different groups each time, but we don't just come as far as hmg and then just sit there, we travel through your land, looking for enemies, pulling guards, etc, etc.
You albs/mids really should make the effort to travel down bolg way, or towards dagda, etc more often, it's a big frontier out there! I just don't get it, this would REALLY help to lessen the zerg size forces of ALL realms.

Problem with the albs is that we have a hard time creating good RvR groups. What do you need to get a good group:
Speed, best a minstrel. We don't have many, and lots want to solo for some wierd reason (they are rogues after all).
You need firepower, multiple wizards/theurgists/body sorcerers.
You need CC, a mind sorc, or ice theurgist.
A healer, so a cleric. And some tanks.
And only 8 spots. Hibs and mids have it easier to make a balanced group because they have less classes. If albs don't have a balanced group they don't want to roam, and if they do, they have to roam with atleast two groups because they get owned by single Hib or Mid groups, which have a lot more tools and firepower in an average group.

And there are the chars which will only shine on walls and sieges, like cabalists. We like a good wall zerg at mmg or amg.

Also to all the people who whine at me, because of my aoe dot. I always start with nearsighting, but that doesn't give me RP. I try to be an asset to the group in which i'm in. Single double dotting tanks which are allready immune to CC. Dotting casters doesn't have any sense because they die to fast.

When I'm solo I always aoe dot. I also nearsight, but the dot gives me RP. To whine against me for not aoe dotting: I want RP too, so don't whine. I try not to break CC, but I can't guarantee succes.

Ieuw, long post. I had some more to say than I planned at first.

If you really think that albs zerg and only go to amg, then don't go to amg simple....

....and why don't we go far up hib land anymore? Unfortunately I aint got any web space to show you the piccie but got one of fg of us killing 2fg hibs...15 of them were res sick. Hibs complain that albs r always res sick from apk to amg and don't bother waiting for the res sick to go and then hibs travel from hbk to Bolg/crim res sick themselves (previous posts). So why bother going past bolg really when most of yer encounters r gonna b with res-sick hibs? Same as why bother as a hib to go past amg-apk. It's done occasionally but unfortunately theres very little point killing res-sick people.

As for the argument that Hibs always travel far in odins/sausage frontier, well come on, you really think thats a fair comparison? Odin's/sausage albs also travel very far and wide as we occasionally do in Emain, it's just a bit different there.....

Emain=zerg
Odin's=fg+ vs. fg+ battles
Sausage=fg- vs. fg- battles

If ya don't like the zerg, ya know where to go

getting?

"We are weak as a FG", "We zerg, you zerg" ......

What a load of shit

 

[old.m0000]

so say nothing of 1 fg of strife killing 5 seperate fgs of hibs, and a 2fg clump in odins yesturday

(oh what a suprise, they came back in a 4.5 fg zerg next port..)

 

[old.m0000]

in other words, if u dont like emain GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FFS - odins owns emain

Odin's getting zergier as each day passes, the more a reputation it gets for balanced 1/2FG v 1/2FG, the more the hibs and albs bring 3 to beat us... then we bring 3... oh look a new emain... Wasn't Odin's the old Emain?

The thread wasn't about zerg's it's about those from the enemy realms who can't be arsed or who are too scared to move outside their mg. This is the cause of zerg and the reason zergs will always remain without people changing by getting a little bravery and self belief and stepping a little out of range of their safety harnesses.
All this crap about 1fg of 'X' realm being weaker than 1fg of 'Y' realm is a lame excuse by people who only want rp's to get ra's and dont really care how they get them. You know, you could have a lot of fun in rvr with a little risk, by moving around the frontier a bit ...... and well, you might even learn how to play your character better ....... and dare I say it, you might learn what makes a good 1fg and people will begin to spec for groups, rather than zerg.
All this "you zerg, we zerg crap" is just that, crap. We don't move out to our frontier in 2/3/4 fg's, we don't reach crim in 2/3/4 fg's ...... but approach amg and what do you see? 2/3/4/5/6 fg enemies milling around waiting for someone to pluck up some courage and attack them, despite being out numbered. This is what creates the zerg. Surely it's blindingly obvious to all??? This is what needs to change.
