all realms adding

[Katyoxo]

I know this isn`t new but I have now gotten now rather peeved to say the least, with full groups adding on 1 solo play. I can understand if the solo play is near a semi group or full group. But I can not uderstand a full group adding on a solo player near a tower level (8 min) which was my last encounter or near a bridge when ur already fighting unlees the other player shout for help.
As a ranger and scout I only add on fg`s/ semi fg


I`ys been a while but I will be posting ML`s and epic`s

2 stars.. must try harder.

So it is perfeclty correct you to add but is lame stuff when some groups steamroll over your fotm class?

Add is add, a game is a game. Get over it.

maybe because its a MMORPG and not a quake clone.

Weak comparison and DAoC isn't massive multiplayer.

I wouldn't even call it an RPG.

I beg to differ:

As in all RPGs, players assume the role of a fictional character (most commonly in a fantasy setting)[1] and take control over many of that character's actions[2]. MMORPGs are distinguished from single-player or small multi-player RPGs by the number of players, and by the game's persistent world, usually hosted by the game's publisher, which continues to exist and evolve while the player is away from the game.

Sorry to say this, but Im pissed off with the solo attitude of threads like this, sorry to say it but this is a multiplayer game, and everyone is entitled to play how they want or to coin a phrase "I pay my subs, I play how I want!".

Cant handle it, heres the choices:

1: Get more freinds to group with.
2: Play a game designed for solo play like Oblivion - its kinda like DAoC but for people who cant acheive 1.
3: Try a more sociable class if you cant master the one you are trying to play.
4: Quit the crying and learn how not to die to FGs, the rest of us manage to get by with the crusts still on our bread, so can you!

Adding is something that leetist pr**ks brought to DAoC about 2-3 years ago, before that it was "I died, I released and went back and had fun".

Too many whimps who cant win fights play now, too many bleeding hearts.

Ah please...

It's not an MMORPG. It's not massive, it might have been once how are 300 people playing on one "cluster" massive? It's a joke. By today's possibilities a game like EVE Online is a MMOG.

It's not an RPG also, how is having 10 different classes and half a dozen LGMs (today all on one char possible) playing a role exactly? Who is role playing anyway? Most play DAoC as a realm points racing simulator.

Wearing a hat and being a Sorcerer in a computer game is not role playing.

Since you like to use Wikipedia like me:

"The challenge of producing a video game with which players can interact through roleplaying, rather than simply a framework within which they can interact with each other, is yet to be answered. Computer imitations of role-playing games instead incorporate role-playing game elements into a man-to-man wargame. It has so far proved impossible to recreate the depth, flexibility, teamwork, and characterization of traditional gaming."

All true Manish, sadly its the way the game has gone, and sadly the way all MMOs will go eventually. But until people grasp the concept that this whole genre of game is developed for multiplayer action not single player, as I said theres a whole plethera of games out there for people who want that kind of action.

By definition, DAoC was massive (hit 60k players once upon a time, and isnt global like other games), and role play is defined as someone controlling a characters actions, not just speaking in the olde worlde tongues and playing dressup. So we could argue all day that both points are valid or once were.

The person bleeting at the beginning of the thread is playing a solo class, not that I play my hunter solo but hey, where he also has the choice to play other classes in this game, but chooses not to - then blames everyone else for their downfall. Theres so much choice in this game, just some choose to play alone, and with classes that take that little more effort.

no because all the "leet" ppl here use "roleplayer" as a curse word.

this game IS a role playing game, curse word or not
and if ppl still can't get used to the fact that they will get added on, why are they still here?

And to the OP

adding, like it or not IS a part of the game you pay to play. if you can't accept that theres always other games to play. like Pong.

i mean, if ppl are so scared of adds when they pvp, go play fking guildwars where everything except the cities are instances... even the pvp areas are instanced pre set group combat. open field games like this is obviously no the game for ppl that hate adds.

and especialy you should not complan about adds seing as you add yourself, and that on the most retarded leech class in the game.

 

[>.< Pooned]

on the most retarded leech class in the game.

If you mean his sorc how can a sorc can be the most retarded leech class and not any other class? i mean do you want us to believe your words when you compare a simple caster class as the best leech class? fyi i would say that the best leech class is the 1 that casts fast and got the biger range ie. wizz runie eld or archer classes nowadays and ever!

considering how hib and alb groups are running after solo sub RR5s like starving dogs, I'd guess they aren't too happy with the amount of targets out there ... though why bother going out to RvR when the only thing that happens is getting zerged down?

Hate to say it but Mid groups do it too.

Think it's a major problem with iRvR - many things become a 'viable' target. Anything in the bowl that appears to be solo probably isn't or will rush from the tower to steam roll you even if you do leave them be. Probably not so bad on the east side as there's no where for mids to congregate really.

I was wrong.. this has clearly developed into a 4 star thread!

 

[Gear]

Everyone's adding it seems, to such an extent that's pathetic.

I have this fight with a rr4 infi who doesn't really stands a chance vs remedy and viper3 but he's putting up a nice fight. An rr4 shade adds, I pull back, the shade kills the infi who was already low, and dies seconds later from a mid fg (some nice irony yeah)

Then he gets on a discussion with me about what appears to be a god given right to add on anything.

Later on, I'm having another fight with a sb, again nothing challenging, rr9 shade adds, who also claims that it's his god given right to ruin people's fights (and tbh I care about MY fights mostly).

This happened more or less all the time, from all the sides yesterday. There was only punishment's group (when he was barding) that respected my fights, the rest of the hibs just nuked on sight, with AE being the most prominent ones.

On the other hand I can't say that I blame people. Yes it is frustrating when it happens in-game, but come to think about it, it's the only way people can get some enjoyment with such low population, and that's by measuring their rps.

I would say that maybe it's not that easy to be an rr4 shade nowadays but Galaddry jumped from rr4 in July to rr7 in the beginning of September and I never saw him add on anything; can't believe that things changed that much in less than 2 months.

And visuals have it harder regarding fights etc, but that doesn't justify adding on everything with a pulse. Their game and everything, but that sort of stupidity is pushing people away from the cluster. Kinda simple.

 

[Ctuchik]

Then he gets on a discussion with me about what appears to be a god given right to add on anything.

it is, he pays his own subs, he can play the game however he wants aslong as he isnt breaking the rules, and no not any fictional rules that the layers have made up....

 

[Gear]

it is, he pays his own subs, he can play the game however he wants aslong as he isnt breaking the rules, and no not any fictional rules that the layers have made up....

It is his right yeah, not god given tho

Seriously, it is his right but there are consequences in the larger picture that ruin the whole game.

This idea about "paying his own subs" is way too old to hold any water

 

[Sarasor]

I just can't find anything to attack, on my NS, without 3-4 scouts popping, and usually a few secs later, all visuals in the area homing in on my dead body hoping to leech me before I die....

Where's the challenge, guys.

There's a few still soloing around, but the ammount of scouts standing around waiting to leech stuff is just silly.
Playing like that is like playing packman without the ghosts, would be fun the first few seconds, then I would get boored of the level of challenge.

And someday I will manage to kill those high RR alb stealther soloers, that's my goal

 

[Ctuchik]

Where's the challenge, guys.

staying alive?

 

[Sarasor]

staying alive?

I'd rather have fun and die alot, then beeing boored and alive (inside DI range from bot in tower)

i very much doubt that adding is the biggest reason this game -or rather this cluster- is going down.


imo its more all those bloody rules ppl try to make everybody else follow even tho they are not in the CoC.


i still don't get why ppl are bitching about adds in a game like this.

 

[aika]

tbh if you get zerged often you dont position right , ofc if you camp DC bridge at prime time you cant really complain about getting zerged

 

[old.Whoodoo]

This idea about "paying his own subs" is way too old to hold any water

Sorry, but its life lad, I pay to play how and when I want, I abide by the rules of the game and the spirit of those rules and the nature of the game, therefore I kill what I want when I want.

What is killing the game in reality, is the anally retentive leetzor players ramming "twue hewo pwaystyles for teh win!!" down other players necks till it starts eminating from their arses. Adding is bullshit, its a poor mans excuse for "I played a mutliplayer game and got my arse whooped". Its made worse by "I was dumb enough to hang out at one of the most popular bottlenecks in the game and died, my mum says he added!".

Ive said it a thousand times, want 1v1 theres a shed load of games out there for those in favour of hand to gland combat with a box of kleenex. Its the insults and abuse that puts more people off than adding, tell me different and I point you at the most popular servers like Classic and the German/French servers where "adding" happens 24/7 and no one gives a sh*t. Then I will also point you at the RvR section where anyone below RR5 who cant kill an RR10 is called a n00b and told to f*ck off back to kindergarten. This sh*te mentality only exists on servers like this one.
