always over too fast

[Mandar]

most of us have done it and I do it too much for it to be healthy for me.. rerolled a chr spacifically to go play in the BG.

after toiling away for some 21 hours of gameplay I finally make level 23 and decide to go mess around in thid for a while to break the monotony. decided to just run around solo to get a feel of the place again. had a whale of a time killing enemies of all shapes and sizes but 3 hours later I decide enough is enough and I have to get to 24.

I look at my stat page and oh hell I have 190rp!! all that time invested and its already halfway to being booted out again.

oh yea to the point of my post, just to get a feel of it. How many people feel that you should be able to stay in thid if you want to?

It's not a patch on real RvR, in fact, I think it ruins it - too many players nowadays just roll alts for Thid, over and over - not enough actually play real RvR.

 

[toxx]

couldnt agree more chimera

however i think they should increase the rp limite to the next realm lvl (not rank )

 

[SilverHood]

sometimes, Thidranki can be more fun than real RvR

having had 3 bg chars, and one lvl 50, I often find Thidranki a nice place for a laugh - no seriuos zerging, no ego complexes, no people who don't understand that this is a game people play for fun.

Oh, and there's no lvl 50 infils with dragonfang, which makes it all the more fun to kill the buggers

 

[old.SadonTheGrey]

I can't see how the battlegrounds can affect Emain in a bad way if they are reducing the ridiculous zergs in size. If you could stay in Thid, I think a lot of people who can't play as often would be made a lot happier; I know someone who is still lvl 40 having started when the game was release, he wants to RvR but just doesn't have the time to level up. If he had that chance to stay in Thid, I'm sure he would have and be much happier than he is now.

 

[Kurfew]

Too answer the question, We have 3 Bgs,but only use 1.

Use all 3 and we would have much more TIME & FUN
wouldnt have to re-roll all the time,and characters would gain skills etc etc..

and when ya finished with the Bg's you would be Lv35 and RR2.

But while this is not the case,il just Re-roll as i cant be bothered
to do the boring PVE anymore .

Gunna roll an alb, when Awol caps.

Awol Vex ShadowZerk.

I have lvl 50 chrs and been to the "real" RvR and basically thidranki is 100x more fun. all the chrs are fairly even in thid with because none of the chr types have had time to develop thier fundamantal flaws they all have at 50. in "real" 90% of the time you cant get a group for love nor money. if you dont have speed in "real" you find yourseld alone in a flash and your dead. "real" is iether emain zerg (yawn) or attempt to get to somewhere with those few people who are like minded you have found and you spend 10 to 15 mins getting there and 2 hours waiting for someone to play with. "real" consists of 9 second stuns and 2 minute mezz. any 1v1 is not determined by skill but who has thier IP charged ir not.
Thid is instant action, bind, port, there. there is normally people to fight that it is possible to beat. basically all the above things are missing so I find it a much more interesting place where skill in playing actually counts for something. not as many egotistical morons who think that shouting the most makes them good leaders.

I know nothing will ever become of this because they will pander to the people who are 50 and will say that thid takes people from realm defence blah blah blah... which isnt the case as most people in thid are iether alts who would answer the call to duty if needed or people who have no alts or wouldnt go even if thid wasnt there.

I would love to see them remove getting RP in thid but leave the rp cap in place. so you can stay as long as YOU want but if you get rp in "real" rvr you no longer need the training grounds so could not go back.

thanks to anyone who bothered reading my opinions.

How about if people stop deleting chars at level 25 (or when they cap their RP limit for Thid) and start going to the other BGs? I know Im gonna go there with my chars when they cap out.

How about introducing other BGs for high levels aswell? Say introduce a 35-39, 40-44, 45-49 and even a special 50's only BG (lets face it, there are loads of 50's around now?)

You could limit the numbers of people from each realm to a realistic figure of say 30-50 each and when the BG is full people start to go to a sister BG (basically a clone of the one they wanted to go to)? Or even have 3 or 4 level 40-44 battlegrounds etc so people can either join a zerg or goto one less populated?

Probby loads of flaws with this idea - lets hear em!

 

[Sigurd]

Thidranki. It doesn't matter, who has the keep, except to the people fighting there. After a certain time at night, you can ONLY find stealthers there UNLESS your realm owns the keep. It is a relatively small place, pretty bland on the eye, and in general you know where to expect attacks, etc. People who have really played real RvR wouldn't over-rate Thidranki as much. People who have only been to emain in a huge zerg, however, might prefer Thidranki. Their loss.

I spend most of my time in Odins where the 'real' RvR is supposed to happen.

Sure, it's fun...At times it can be excellent, but I never get the rush I have when my newly levelled Thidranki twink gets it's first kill. I never have the feeling that I have an equal chance against ANYONE I meet and they won't pop IP/Purge/Whatever RAs they have and destroy me without a thought.

In Thidranki, everything is fair, it's more about skill than so called 'real' RvR. No RAs, no insta CC, no extremely overpowered classes.

Thidranki is the best damn RvR on Prydwen.

 

[Sigurd]

Except it isn't fair unless you are a stealther/in a zerg, against a zerg.

Um...I've played 3 SBs, 1 Warrior and 1 SM in Thid, it's easy to avoid/beat stealthers with all three.

Stealthers aren't the godlike creatures that they are in 'real' RvR.

It's easy enough to make your own little group of 4/5 people and avoid the zerg too, I do it all the time on my SM

 

[pinkeyex]

Ok not got great deal of exp on real RvR but the little i have had has been running miles to frontier just to get zerged by hib/albs, or go relic raid just to lag out with like 100 or so peeps on the screen.
Thi though is ace if u want instant action and FUN and some great 1 on 1 fights , hardly any moaning and bitching just good laugh cant really go wrong, on my 8th bg char now , long live Thi

 

[nocte]

Thid would be fair if it wasnt full of twinked alts by lvl 40 - 50's.

for some of us our main is only a lvl 24 char and dont have the means to twink the char... so all in all it is not all that fair.

 

[sebula_strings]

Nocte, tell your hibbie friends that the have to grow some balls. The zerg once in lets say 15 minutes. And then they stop at the MB ( CK - MB, CK - MB )

Another thing is, where did all the mids go? When i was in Hibernia we were with like 10 hibs vs +/- 30 mids and +/- 30 albs. Now i see 10 mids, 40 hibs and 10 albs. Come on guys lets whoop their asses! All we need is a Minstrell or a Spiritmaster to mezz them and the party can begin. Please guys i like the amount of hibs but they are with 40 togheter the whole f'kin time!

Some people i would like to tell something:

* Alc, where the hell are you?
* Kwee, what about you?
* Verontina, don't try to pull me anymore. I don't want to cap so fast. :-(
* Pleb, you are a Hero. What are Hero's supposed to do in RvR? Well i don't know for sure but what i do know is that running around me, not pulling your spear, not moosing or whaddevah isn't how you should play your char.

I don't know if you guys capped already, leveled over 24 or don't read these threads. Please split up a bit and zerg with 8+ peeps. And i think as soon as we mids or albs take the keep back you will all stop playing in thid gain

Cheers.

I will never coop with albs. And i hope all mids think this way.

 

[sebula_strings]

I'm just trying to say here that we should or albs should take the damn keep back, i dont give a fck how!
Asimar, sorry about killing you, i was doing allkinds of emotes but then i wanted to do my /dance emote ( which is next to my BS2 )
I accidently pushed BS2.. Sorry mate, i hope you understand, those meetings are always lovely.. Btw, did you do something about your stealth? I see you from miles away with my 16+5..

Cheers

for some of us our main is only a lvl 24 char and dont have the means to twink the char... so all in all it is not all that fair.

actually my thid sb kit consisted of...
1 full set of cave lurkers - from snake charmer in vendo
neck, bracers and rings all emerald df bought
fur edged cloak (+2 stealth) a droped in vendo while exping
axe - mourning rage - 1 time drop in myrkwood
Gem - only twink item a multifaceted insect eye (+3 stealth)

all bar the gem are attainable at level 24 and believe me its an effective set up. the axe was because I am a critblade and that axe is the best PA weapon there is.

ok that is all well and good if you are a SB but what of other classes I hear you say. well do some reseach into it and you will find that the best kit you can have is actually that kit meant for your level. ie using a purple con 16 dps axe gives less effective dps than a decent yellow con one (assuming you can actually hit anything with a purple axe). same goes for armour.

if you are using kit meant for your level you actually have an advantage over uber twinked chrs cos you can actually hit with that axe ect...

 

[Dook_Pug]

All my chars are severely twinked. So what?

 

[Alaron]

Sebula, I thought it was a clever trick; charm the guy with /kiss, /blush and your good looks, wait until he responds and starts to spam his emote buttons, then PA the bugger when he is facing you. It made me feel rather sheepish (I have 1+1 stealth btw).

 

[sebula_strings]

And again i apoligise. /kiss /dance

One more thing about this /wave-ing and stuff to other stealthers..
I really enjoy it to have these 'meetings' but what makes me sick is that some people just don't understand it. Bronwyr, me and Venombane ( Luri - NS ) are standing at the midbridge. Me and venombane /dance /kiss /wave to eachother and then Bronwyr comes and does the same. So i'm thinking that he's joining our fancy group. Then in all of a sudden he just garrotes me which made me running.

Result: Me laying dead in a full group of Albs.

Please guys i just want to have fun in Thidranki, not having a constant war!
And about your stealth, why 1(+1) mate, i know with high slash/env/cs you can be very nasty but come on.. you will never get the first move on stealthers. 16(+5) Is a really nice stealth spec for See Hidden. This will give you lots of points to raise your Slash/CS/Env, especially you infs.

I hope to see you all in Thidranki tonight,

Goodluck on the killing-spree Asimar , cheers!

 

[Alaron]

Sebula, I'm a scout with low stealth and high thrust/shield for easier leveling. It's not a Thidranki-only character. I know he's gimped at the moment, but I don't care as long as I'm having fun with him

 

[sebula_strings]

Doh, sorry but i thought you were an infiltrator
Sowwy..

 

[nocte]

<snip>* Alc, where the hell are you?
<snip>

been playing other chars m8y.

and as for the hib zerg from CK to MB... i try to stay clear of zergs.

i dont like being zerged, and i am damn sure noone else does, so the way i see it is if i dont like it i wont do it.

Alc should be back in for a wee bit tonight.

I lvled to level 31 straight after I capped.
Was bored as hell, unhappy guild situation and left DAoC (yes again)

but don't worry, knowing my stupid self I'll be back on track (daoc) again soon.

I can't even bring myself to stop reading these forums ... funny

 

[ormorof]

i remember running around bg with my my old SB... just me and a skald

we once saw an infil he mezzed, another popped i PA'ed and ganked both. i have been in 'real' RvR as well but it doesnt compare to the rush you get from a 1 vs 1 kill in thid.

sorry but thid rules

 

[Sigurd]

If you're a stealther

 

[Danya]

Played thid, played RvR... Both are only fun with speed/stealth tbh. Maybe it's just my outlook on things, but my merc was only really fun when grouped with minstrels...
