Civilised bahaviour?

[Whoodoo_RD]

Hiyas all, me again with yet another rant

This is about last nights epic attempt at a "coop" in the campaign.

Firstly, i balied out early on this event due to a severe beer shortage, and a local pub calling me up saying they had ordered way to much and they needed a hand with the excess (ya, like they gonna beleive that!). Nevertheless, i have beens speaking to a few m8s about this who all seem to share the dissapointment.

You see the event was (IMO) a great attempt to get the 3 realms to fight together for a change for a common goal, but, GOA forgot one key point in the equation, that is that 1/2 the population are as thick as 2 short planks. Firstly, some see an enemy and decide they want RPs instead of the real goal. Shame because we have all now seen the drops given, and aint they great? Shame cause you aint getting any!

Secondly, did any of you take a look at the RPs you were getting, feck me do the math and youd know you were getting BG2 RPs, what a waste of space.

Now other threads are naming and shaming already, but lets try and be a bit better than this and perhaps come to some sensible arrangement to get this task completed. The CK obviously required the assistance of all 3 realms to defeat, so why dont we make a pact to help each other on this and stop the dumb arse ganking? Please leave that for emain.

Oh, and the other thing, ppl have cried out for a COOP server for ages, well this is i think a good test of it. Perhaps a sign of things to come?

OK, flame away you lot

To be honest I loved the part when I was there all people on the mobs and helping each other Felt good. And I still want that coop server

event

yea i must say it was a nice event they made for us, just to bad so many thought it would be more fun just ganking every enemy they saw. i got killed like 3 times in a row at ck right after beeing killed, and i was REALLY close to going vendo on everybody and im a shadowblade hehe. but i got a coke and cooled down. it was seme really nice drops in the event, just to bad i had to get up early so i coulden stay, cause i could really use one of those 1h axes, and i kind of doubt i have the money they will be worth hehe. but would be really nice if everybody could make an a agreement not to kill everybody, and just hope all the little kids have gone to bed so they wont ruin the game again, like last night

 

[Whoodoo_RD]

Any chance we can get the alliance leaders from each realm in here to agree a total seisefire for the duration of this event, after all it will benefit us all later on

If you know them, please point them in this direction, and we ask you to let your members know that ganking their counterparts is not part of the deal

Where's your point here? If albs and mids won't cooperate here they won't on a coop server?

I wish GOA would give us a coop server. I play on Gaheris and loving it, though I miss out on plenty of raids because they start out in the middle of the night on weekdays :-(

They should've given us a coop server instead of a 4th french one :-\

 

[Khalen]

The hardest part is keeping people in line. You can shout and send everything but what if a dude just doesn't wanna listen. Can't do much further
Was wondering why the zone couldn't have been like on camlann's main capitols. All realms can enter but no one can kill there. Shouldn't be too hard I guess. But maybe GOA just wanted it this way so it was still open to all kinda people even the screw ups.

 

[alithiel50]

Personally, I think it would have been a lot better if they'd made it possible for us to group and communicate with people from the other realms...

It would have been a lot easier to concentrate on the event itself if I could have explained to Sharpo that it's not really very good manners to peek under a highlander's kilt! :uhoh:

 

[calaen]

So how long does this run on for?

Cause we managed to kill the queen and her main guard last night and my journal says I have completed the black queen quest. So im a little confused.

 

[Whoodoo_RD]

Perhaps its all over then, shame really.

Nott, why not try and bring something a little constructive here rather than the rather depressing statement like "thatll never happen!"

My point was where theres a will theres a way, it can be done if only ppl didnt share your rather negative attitude.

 

[Jayce_DA]

It a true coop fashion I think I should have been allowed to heal and rezz people from the enemy realm, then I could have saved that Troll's life that that NS poisoned. Oh well, maybe next time

Now I'm like huh? Where did this come from? I just picked out one sentence of your post and wanted to point out that this campaign and a coop server has very little if anything to do with eachother. Then I went babbling some more about the coop server like I always do (ask my friends ingame..hehe).

Had no intention of slamming this campaign and its cooperative intention. I zoned to this bg last night at 23cet and didn't see any ganking at all. A couple of deathmessages yes, but nothing like a ganksquad or anything.

I'm puzzled on how you got to the "thatll never happen!" conclusion. Maybe I should've written: If albs and mids do cooperate here a coop server will succeed?

And even if I had been negative to this campaign which isn't the case who are you to call anyone having a negative attitude Mr.1/2 the population are as thick as 2 short planks.

 

[Whoodoo_RD]

My appologies, i read your question more as a statement, im just not used to seeing ppl take a positive attitude on bw

I know for one thing, on all 3 sides in IRC and in chat groups, ppl did cry out to stop fighting each other, yet that "1/2" of the populus couldnt be arsed. Shame the few spoil it for the many.

Anyway, being at work now i dont know the state of Murdigan, whats happenign over there now? Is it all over?

BTW, i stil by my opinion of the 1/2 thing, its sad but true

well as nott said last night we managed to recapture htk, but then immediatly lost it to the recapture force of the mobs . But then attacked ck with hibs and albs and managed to kill the queen and also defend it. Then I logged.
Now mobs took back all tks and are patrolling around ck, mids recaptured mtk (hibs took it from us we took it from hibs again might have changed again). CK is still flying mids colours and the doors are closed and mobs patrolling around it, doing no effort to brake those down and I cant select the door. So I guess the event is finished unless you want to get some loot, which might still drop. Or you can turn it into a lvl 50 bg, where the mobs are dangerous (not fun getting zerged by 30 grey mobs and die as they do hit you all the time ).

the 'campaign' for me wasn't much fun

i ported in with me 45lvl hunter and participated in the mtk retake and got killed by one of the orange con (yeah right! it was hitting for 200+) guards

proceeded to port in with me lvl50 shaman and got a guildgroup together and headed CK ... where we was promptly killed by the incoming alb zerg (i didn't fight back to show my good intentions..but to no avail)

another port .. headed CK again.. got wasted several times by the powerdraining bubbles and sat on my ass most of the time trying to get power back and waiting for MCL. actually ... this more or less describes the entire campaign for any caster/healer class i think

the only fun part of this was, when most of us grew up and didn't attack the other-realmers (this goes for all realms), sitting around in the middle of hibs and albs not killing eachother

i got a lot of attention from random albs/hibs and lots of /hug /kiss /dance from them .. maybe they just took the time to see a troll upclose without fear (or disgust ..i dunno)

thx for that

in the end..the combination of horrendous lag in the CK and spending most of my time running from place to place to dodge the powerdraining bubbles made me log out and lvl an alt

if only we would have been abvle to interact/talk/whatever to the other realms things could have gone better

as to this relating to a coopserver ... well .. there we would be able to communicate..so a lot of the 'misunderstandings' between the realms could/would be avoided

imo of course

I think this was after all the pking muppets had to log and go to bed as it was a school night.

 

[Solarius]

Was alot of fun killing mobs alongside albs and mids, (bring on coop!), but was more fun I think for tanks - casters had real problems with those damn bubbles

The only bit that spoiled it for me were the players who thought of this as a cheap way to get rps (cough Muze killing my chanter from 5% health after managing to kill a Vesten Archer who chased me from the keep - did you really need a stun? with 5% health and sitting down, one attack would have been enough), but otherwise a nice change from the usual!

More events like this would be welcome (maybe with PvP immunity?)

That, and the fact that on coop, you can't kill each other anyway

But yes, I logged from the event due to being completely useless due to 458 power drain every 2 seconds

 

[Whisperess]

Givh coop server.

( if I can transfer my current chars there )

[Hrogar]

Is the campaign really over? Because I've been there fighting all day and there are still tons of Vestin (or whatever they're called) over the place. Just before I logged some brave souls were pushing them back into HTK. If the campaign is done why are the mobarmy still there? Kinda confusing...
It was a grande moment when people started working together cross realms I think. Such a server would definately be worth a shot.
More events like this please GOA!

 

[ilaya]

I thought it was great!

after much confusion to begin with.. we started to all work together and it was worth it just for that.. except the twats ofc who just ganked each other but thats another story..

apologies to the mids i stunned when i first showed up.. but we didnt have a clue what the hell was going on at that time

think this event has proved without doubt that europe want a co-op server.. was great being able to sit down next to albs and mids to regain some mana and just wave to each other and dance instead of ganking each others arses off (not that i could mind u hehe)

kept my menty behind the ck zerg for the mr5... and yes those bubbles were nasty for us hibbies.. but mids/albs helped me out LOTS of times there so i could feed hibs with some mana.

was unique night.. great fun give more

 

[Whoodoo_RD]

It seems now GOA didnt intend on us cooperating, however seems it really became a bonus in the end.
Nice one all, made the event that more insteresting IMO

 

[Ravenbourne]

I would love a coop server, i started on camlann in the hope "i could see the world" but got fed up of getting ganked all the time
