Camping is it ruining the BG's atm

[Anin_Aldor]

/Rant mode on

Hmm maybe its me but i have a feeling the good times in Thidranki
BG are over. Its a long time that i can remember about the the fun/great batles at MB or HB. Now i only see PK camping atm.
And if there are batles then its that mids or hibs come in a large force for a keep raid.

Okee i will be honest.
I am there also sometimes. But i dont like doing it all.
But its the only way now to get some Rp's or a bit of ''fun''.
So plse pple dont camp the pk's alot. Let them gather and come out. I know it takes a while for the Mids and Hibs to get away from there PK. But thats is beausse they know whe are camping them ALWAYS.

But this is just me 2cents i have to say about it.
If you wanna flame me go ahead.
I dont mind and i dont care at all.
Just a bit pissed/bored about it.:sleeping:

From my personal point of view most of the RvR on Thidranki involves running from MPK to Bridge then back again.

Camping occurs occasionally but not too often.

Softly 5 SB 0 I'm a coming to thid soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday we were a few albs there trying to convince the majority of the albs on spot to stop camping their PK to get skirmishes between mb and mpk, after a while mid did come down and had some fun, wasn't too many tho, but later on hib came along with a bunch and made the evening a whole lot more fun.

Stealthers have fun camping/being camped at their pks... easy to see why, but most of the albs camping last night were non stealthers touch decision, skirmish near mb or standing there like a tincan doing .. well not that much at mpk

 

[Col|]

Thing is, you /yell for people to move back from either PK and only a few actually move, it's even worse if some of the enemy are dead, instead of letting them get a rez they just stand there waiting for some suicidal rezzer to have a go, to me this camping is futile, as all it does is encourage forces to hug their guards, or come in a huge zerg and role over everything in site, instead of some nice frequent skirmishes all we get is long boring wait and people saying, "anything going on at mpk/hpk", and the reply is either "no, they all died and released" or "no, they are staying near their PK". Cmon people, I learnt along time ago, from Mids camping our pk in Emain, that it's very boring and frustrating for both sides (hehe even remember some mids suiciding to pull the pk guards onto their camping colleagues).

 

[Uncle Sick(tm)]

Well... camping the PK is not the worst thing... it's the keep guard hugging, if you ask me.

We tried to get you Albs out for a nice skirmish at Mid bridge but you refused to let go of the guards.
You came out when a gazillion of guards rushed us due to a pet having gone awol...

So there we stand at Mid bridge, waiting for you to come out (we even backed up a little more) and all we get, is the occasional Infil attack or some tincan coming down to bait me into bolting him, so Infil xyz can PA me.. sheesh.
Get some guts, people - this is not really directed at individuals, it seems to be a major issue with Albion, though.

A couple of days ago, when you had camped our PK- now that were fun skirmishes.. get some more Templars in your Thidranki raids, they charge at least without stopping after five steps to make sure the rest is following, hehe

And respect to the Mid players I've seen out there so far... they are gutsy bastards. After one bolting his runie friend to death, Mjollnir scared the shizznack out of me by chasing me around until he was hacked to fine bits by the others
Later, guess he wanted to suicide, he charged into the middle of our group... /salute, Mjollnir.

 

[old.logun]

well tonight i was there once in a while to have a look and i also did some runs to hpk and to be honest i just ran back to the thidranki keep and sat inside afk as there was no reason for an infil to camp the pk if i am correct , correct me if i am wrong but albs camped the mid PK for an hour and a half , now to me that is shockingly bad.

yes and you are right who ever posted first (can't remember the name) thidranki is no longer fun it used to full of all three 3 realms having fun now it's albs kill mids ,mids kill albs ,1-5 hibs every 2 hours ,albs kill mids , you get the picture thidranki has lost it's touch i think i will lvl up and play in the last BG instead then infils are more usful with climb wall

 

[old.Cher]

no point, the last bg is a dead zone.i have never seen anyone in it ever in the 20+ hr's i had spent there.

 

[Damon_D]

Nope no fun there anymore , last time i was the alone , and some one beckoned me out for a fight , i thought hmm what the H... , but apparently that was some kind of trap...as if 5-7 alb's need a trap to kill of a single thane , but alas I start to jog down from the mpk to meet the opponent , only to be jump'd by 3 infils , and they didnt even manage to take me down in one shot, I actualy managed to club one of em half to deaht before they kill'd me , after that i just released and has not been there since, thats a couple of week's ago. If you alb's only wanna fight if ya have 20 guards with you or out number us 10 to 1 then you can go play with yaself Bahh alb's being the realm of honor my arse

 

[Uncle Sick(tm)]

Bahh alb's being the realm of honor my arse

Infils are really a plague in Thidranki...

If you asked 90% of the Alb population: "What kind of alt do you have?", the answer would be "an Infiltrator".

Fear the stealthed zerg, hm?

To be fair- we have seen some good fights in Thidranki but I somehow think that if you reduced their Infils to one or two at the max (in Thid) at the same time, every Alb group would be ganked to oblivion by an equally strong Mid/Hib group.

Gee, they stand around near their guards at HB... you wait for them to come, meanwhile 500 Infils are in the water to PA your casters in the back.
Hope those Infils are grouped at least, so all of the yellow bellies get a realm point for their guard cuddling.

And that guard hugging is really getting on my nerves...
Cowards.

 

[Myshra]

i highly doubt anyone hides in the river, its a crap place to hide, also if you so good sickofit, how about getting some mana specs to come PBAoE near you now and then? from a guess your the eldy in black who last night ran away from the main group to the side, PA, dead etc..

and the guard hugging? we goto the CK as its ours last time i checked...

 

[Uncle Sick(tm)]

Bleh- I didn't say 'hiding' in the river. Jumping in it - swimming to the other shore - falling into our backs.

And last night was a joke anyway. You encountered: a l24 druid, an l21 bard and a l21 NS plus me- 24 Eldritch. I saw at least three Infils stealthing - let off 2 bolts, one DD and swerved to the side to get another DD in on the yellow minstrel we saw first (did I get him/her by the way?).
The whole encounter was utterly pointless.. we didn't have a single tank with us. I released and went to level my bard up

By the way - I don't have Pbaoe - me's a void Eldritch ie I nuke over distance... Pbaoe in RvR is pretty much useless unless you try to unstealth stalkers/are in a big group/larger skirmish.

Every night we have been out there, we had at least two Enchanters with Pbaoe in our party(ies), so why should I start speccing n mana? It's useless for me.

You must have noticed the blue swirling ball that hit you in the back a couple of nights ago, taking half your health away (I sat on you, remember until Hidey got me). That's void magic... Pbaoe is for Enchanters imo.

I made about 100 rp in two nights by shooting Albs
Can someone send my regards to Isoch? Hehe

You got us last night. A (very unbalanced) group of four
If you measure your RvR uberness by this encounter, fine.
You should rather see the two nights before, starting with you guys camping our Pk. I remember us chasing you Albs all the way back to your keep more than once... and we had what? One stealther (and I don't count Hugh, the Egotestical.. he is too uber to group with mortals).

It's amusing to hear you Albs slag us off with witty remarks, while Mids respect us for our RvR successes. Mids are a hundredfold braver than Albs... never thought I would say something like this...*remembers Mjollnir's charge*...

The only Albs who get me are Infils... interesting, isn't it?

 

[Myshra]

well actually it probably means that the tanks are killing hte other stuff and letting us deal with the things in paper armour like we should do

please not i said get some PBAoE peeps, i didn't say you were one if you look =)

btw, me and hidey are in the same guild so we hunt together, its best not to kill only 1 as the other will go for revenge im sure

and half my health with a single bolt? pffft you wish

 

[old.Braecia]

I wish to reply to the situation that happened yesterday regarding the PKcamping. More specifically I want to target the way people bring forward their opinions in the game. I will not go into the discussion if PKcamping is fun or not. I am not experienced enough to really offer a valued opinion about that subject.

Yesterday I was one of the campers with some other players at the Midgard portalkeep. We went out camping because we waited at the bridge for awhile and nothing happened. Some people died and I rezzed them. I died and noone rezzed me because at that time I was the only rezzer at the portalkeep. No sweat I just ask a rezzer that is near the bridge if he could come rezz me. He replied with the following: "i don't rezz pkcampers!". And that was it. Luckily there was a cleric on his way so i could get a rezz instead of having to release.

but my point is that the person who so bluntly stated that he wouldnt rezz pk campers never even said why he had that opinion. He never made it clear to me why I should not camp at the portalkeep.

And after that another person started a discussion about this matter and verbally he was very agressive. he did say why we shouldnt do it but he was so agressive in his tone of voice that i didnt even want to listen to him anymore.

With this saidm what i mean is that it is ok to have a different opinion, but please be polite in making that opinion known to other people. We are all people behind the screens and we CAN act maturely in explaining why some actions might be better then other actions.

Yes, I re-read the whole Pbaoe thingie, realized I had gotten you wrong - cudos

And my bolts?
Dunno if it was exactly half your health..hehe.. I didn't get you alone after all. My bolt was just the finishing blow.

Still, two days ago, Allah (I think it was him), was chasing after our druid - I tried to help him, standing some distance away. First bolt missed, second hit home, took more than a third of his health. He cons yellow to me... my first bolt is considerably stronger than my second... so I assume, the first one hits harder... oh, and the druid died He pulled the Infil out of my DD range.

Lets just agree on you Albs bringing more non-stealthers in the future... I am starting to feel paranoid out there

Cheers, Braecia!
The Pk camping was not that bad (we gave you guys a beating after all) - it's the centerkeep/bridge guard hugging.
Had great fun that night

 

[old.logun]

You gone about albs camping the Ck guards/bridge guards well i have seen midgard do it more than once and if you had the keep the would be too it's the center of the zone , i hear you saying that albs are wimps cos they stay there keep all the time well who's the faggoty hibs who go running back to their PK guards "help us help us"

i know albs aren't the bravest ( honestly i think they are weak ) they run from most attacks , but when you have hibs at one bridge and mids at the other it does get annoying seeing hibs and mids both picking on albs , i'm not moaning about this just that i have barely ( this is in emain aswell ) seen hibs vs mids kinda makes me think there's somthing dodgy going on. now i'm a stealther i'll be watching.........

LOL... we run when it's pointless, we run to a gathering point when the group scatters too much, we run when half the group dies.

Albs run when you say "Boo!" loud enough.


I daresay if we had the keep and you showed up at Alb bridge, we would come out to fight. We are not as cuddly with our guards then you are.

Everytime we are out there, except for the one time when ALBS camped us, we are running about, looking for a fight.
If we run to Alb/Mid Pk to check for invaders and just one or two show, we run off a bit, to give them a chance to come out...

You have barely seen Hibs against Mids? Aww.. are you implying that we are teaming with them? ... I remember seeing Infils sitting down together with Mids... can't remember seeing Hibs doing the same (those players would get a sickofit(tm) tongue lashing, believe me...).

Or are you talking about the incident, where we assaulted the Alb keep raiders and a healer on the battlements mezzed the bulk of them? That mez cam in handy but I was casting AE anyway... then the Mids came out to slaughter us, together with a gazillion guards...
I wouldn't call this "teaming up".

We know that the majority of Albs and Mid players are 1337 kids... so we don't really give a damn. Much rather we laugh about you.

 

[gobbles]

Bgs in decline

Whats ruining the BGs really is peeps attitudes, not pk camping, zerg and whatever tf else is cited as a reason for not going there to have a few skirmishes and a bit of a laugh.

This is what i think: lots of peeps level to max allowed for particular BG, go there thinking they will have np's and find they lack the skills / tactics to engage other players with much success and therefore have arse handed to them on a plate on most occasions. They then quit BG and dont bother with RvR to any great degree thinking that when lv 50 comes they will automatically be players by default!. Surely BGs are all about learning the skills needed for RvR and dont exist as a substitute for them!.

BTW, most players currently succeeding in BGs are alts of much higher lv players who have learned through experience and dying a hell of a lot how to play the game successfully. Please stop spamming BG boards with tales of woe about how the enemy doesnt play fair and start playing the game as ruthlessly as what was intended.

...

 

[Mongfoilaol]

Hmmmm uber im I? (looks in mirror and checks his woad for smudges)

or maybe I dont group with idiots or suicide jockeys?
If the cap fits... wear it!!!!!

 

[Uncle Sick(tm)]

No, little Hugh.. I refer to your constant begging for praise - "It is me making all the rp here.", "I am the best scout.", constantly keeping us up to date who you killed and just how good you are etc. bla bla...

I also liked it when you called a friend of mine shitty, little warden because she dared to make fun in a harmless way of yer egotestical self-praising.

Yer so full of yourself and rude to other people that you were kicked out of your last guild.

Just don't start with me, little man. I don't think you are uber.. you do, schmuck boy.

Gee, didn't notice your post at the first time - Hugh Egrection amused me too much... - and I say: true, true.

But:
You will always hear tales about something... that's what 'oh, the humanity' phenomenon is all about
Some points you will agree with,
some things you will just laugh about.
Depends on your point of view... that's what message boards are all about. Whining, flaming and a bit of constructive discussion.

Still - guard hugging and PK camping is 'bad style'... in my opinion. I can't demand good fights if I am not willed to leave guard Willy's protection for more than two seconds

Edit: bad shpelling(tm)

 

[Anin_Aldor]

Till now what i have read here on this topic.
Has me given me 1 thing what i know now for sure:

This problem can never be solved. There are a lot of reasons to name up why.
1 EGO: against other realms. That i really dont mind. I should
hate your guts out. But most important against your
own realm mates. Listen to an advice maybe you learn a
bit from it. Even if you main is a high roller. Never to
young to learn or hear stuff.

2 PKcamping: Not realy a subject to talk about. Why read 1 again.
Then you know why.

3 Gaurdhugging: Not gonna repeat meself again.


What i mean take your ego and leave it home when playing this game. Becausse its a game not your life. But if this game is your life. I feel sorry for you then


P.S. I left the Thidranki BG and i am not going to another
BG again. Becausse Thidranki is the first Bg going this way.
I wont be surprised if the other BG's start going the same
way.

..../kiss:whip:

 

[Mongfoilaol]

If you spent more time playing the game rather than talking out your a*** end you might get to actually enjoy it!
And as far as im concerned you and your whining little warden friend can RAM it!!!!!!!

Hugh


ps ,grouping is optional, im not there to gain Rp's for whining little gits like you!
And yes i am bloody good thats why i maxed my rp in less than 9 days ........how many you said you have?

nuff said !!!!!!!

If you cant handle it be an albe youll have loads new of 'friends' to sponge off! (Like their 200+ Infils )

if im uber does that make you unter?

 

[Damon_D]

plz do me a favor Hib'sters dont rezz tis smock , if he is to cool to play with ya , why should ya rezz him , lets see how good he is at the skill self-ressurection.

 

[kr0n]

Well... maxing your RPs in 9 days is easier since you have more albs to keel

 

[Anin_Aldor]

Hugh classic example of a ....uke:

 

[Uncle Sick(tm)]

I haven't met anyone yet who had something good to say about Hugh. Like I said - he was kicked out of his last guild for being a rude wankstain, suiciding while in group, leaving groups in the middle of a fight etc.
When he left the /cg after flipping out on my friend, I got six or seven "good riddance" and "lol, what a moron" /sends.
'nuff said, eh?

And leech of him? LOL
I made about 90-100 rp in two days (and I am not just shooting blue cons, like Hugh...) ... as if that would matter ("my daddy can beat your daddy!!(tm)". Some people play for fun supposedly.

Last surname was Egrection (that's always good for a laugh or two...).. what about Jackass, Fuckwit or Schmuck this time?

 

[spyte]

Have to say I agree camping PK's is boring acomplishes nothing but hours of playing guess which Caster goes down next.

Next point hmm army of infil's out their hmm yep gotta say sure is, but then I could also say that about SB's on certain days hell i walked past 4 close together the other night but rarley do I see a NS do not complain about us stealthers cause you do not have that needed support.

Point 3: Onto running away when the enemy charge lol yep again Agreed Albs will high tail it normally back to the bridge so everyone gets involved in the fight, but I have seen the same tactic used by mids when they own the ck, Also I have seen Hibs leg it back to hpk infact every night it happens, I understand the lack of people yourside but just because you spot 1 Alb dosent mean theirs hundreds over the rise/

Point 4: Zerging hmmm this happens alot but all 3 realms have done it to an extent Albs tend to do it alot since we have a large amount of people who want to try rvr out so we have a tendancy to go over in a large group, Mids have this tendancy to arrive and hang up in MPK can't say I blame them with the amount of Camping thier but then they kinda have 2/1 odds charge down andend of campers *chuckles*.
Ohh and Hibs come on 1:30 / 2am in the morning is not a good time to arrive with 1 1/2 groups since most other realms have 2 or 3 people so arrive earlier

Heh ok I have had a lot of fun here and I have respect for a lot of the enemy, I have killed and been killed, Yes i have my fav people who I make a beeline for and have heard a fair few times im sought after which is a nice compliment. I have tried not to rez kill but sometimes its hard to figure if that person was just injured or if he had died so sorry if I got someone that way. I have even seen people LD and waited till they got back to wave them on.

I am not the best Infiltrator in the zone imho and I find it great when I actually 1 shot someone (not often but it happens) You will find I run if i can see so much as A second Mid/Hib or more heading my way after I attack but hey my poison might get you. But if its 1v1 you can be sure that almost every Infiltrator will give it a go including me though the chances of this happening have become deciding slim.

OMG that was a long post
Stay safe all and meet you for a little while more in the BG's

Spyte

 

[Col|]

Bored

What can I say, Thid is boring now, want new abilities, like climbing keep walls for starters, so bye bye all, have _fun_ and enjoy yourselves.

 

[Uncle Sick(tm)]

One Infiltrator gone... 748 to go... *cackles*
