Heres the thing, i come out on my Hero (Stunt, RR2L7).

I dont group, i dont add, i ignore/watch duels (dont add after i let them run off and regen as they please). I dont add on fg fights, i /send abuse to people who add on my fights. And in a zerg situation, i run straight throguh the middle of it, to the area i wanted to go in order to try and find a solo fight.

My runs consist of either RR7+ characters owning me (i can live with). But predominantly of people ganking the living shit out of me.

Be it a duo, a trio, or a FG.

I leave DC, get to a bridge, and am greated by getting ganked by 1-2fg of albs.
I go docks, and am greated by a fg of albs.
I go beno, and am greated by the heffing great fuck tard horner and his DI bot, who chases me from keep to bridge, mezzs, stun, buff strips, nukes, and rudes me.
I go bled, get started on by a hunter, added on by two runnies.

In short, i've currently put in about 30-40 hours of **pure solo** rvr on this thing, And from that, have had about 10x 1v1 fights. The rest has been me getting ganked. And its not fun, not enjoyable, and i dont like it so ive come here to QQ.


So heres the thing. Im a low RR, shit, Luri Hero. I wont add, i wont zerg. All i ask, is that people try their hardest not to repeatedly zerg the living shit out of me cause i really dont wanna resort to having to play this game in a way that tbph, isnt that enjoyable (aka, resort to ganking things without effort).

Anyways, roll on the retard died in rvr zone comments etc.

Greets,

Stunt.

you have to have brains to act like this mate, and half the population of all servers dont ! i added once on a mate and later on i felt discussive ! but its a game and people dont tnink about the others, only theirselves. So it either makes you a zerger like all or makes you quit the game. Not much to do tbh.

Peace, i am out !

You have no speed, no CC, not range attack or any form of interupting other then in melee range and no instants.

Life IS going to be difficult solo, trust me I know, however you surely knew all of this before you made a heavy tank with a mind to soloing.

Your only advantage is in a straight out melee fight and every other class that solo's usually has 101 ways to avoid just such a fight if they do not want it and you have no way of stopping them escaping or forcing them to engage you in combat.

The only way you can succeed is by being to bloody stubborn to quit (generally my prefered method) and by being tough enough to survive being outnumbered, which gets harder and harder evey single patch and expansion as other classes become more tougher and well rounded and as timers become a bigger differance then class.

Sadly if you have done everything you can to template yourself then the only way you can become stronger is through RR. And that will take time solo.

I'd suggest staying clear of any bridges except very late at night, even if you do find an enemy, your to close to the keep to stop them escaping if they try and run back to the guards (ask fatload, he can tell you all about that). Best thing is to stay just in clip range of the bridge to tempt enemies to come to you, away from the keep.
That will of cause give them time to prepare a stealth zerg, so again you need to be strong enough to kill something whilst being zerged. such is life.

Try looking around Boldiam/renaris, I havent been there in ages but its probably still got the odd soloers or people on way to poc.

If all else fails, use stealth lore and run over a bridge spamming f8. Sometimes fun if your bored :flame:

i know the feeling trust me.. a while ago i was 100% solo in rvr and rarely grouped but still got steamrolled alot..

after a while you know where to go to not be ganked, but sometimes these areas can be totally clear also, but also sometimes full of soloers.. never be in the land where the irvr is going on.. always stay away from zergs and other fights, as you normally will get ganked.

In short: Stay in the edge and as far away from everything, to find soloers with only a small risc of getting ganked.

I've just been living one of them priceless adverts to be honest;

Time taken to level hero; 12 hours
Time taken to get ML9; 12 hours
Cost to template; 20-30p

First run out feeling all uber into a FG of somethings... PRICELESS


The morale high ground is it worth it, or should i just conform and be another face in the crowd :<

keep going, is all i can say. when you do engage in a 1v1 mellee fight which takes a good few minutes its well worth all the other times you get ganked.

I find the morning before 11am is the best for finding 1v1's around crau area. if irvr about then more small grps will appear sooner, so better getting boat elsewhere.

My Heroine Shedevil has had some really good fights, which makes it well worth sticking at.

i feel for ya m8 ..

Gahn did setup a private forum and posted different "zones" where soloers could go to get a 1v1 fight .. i dunno if this is still active and im sure someone will post here if it is .. i went there a few times on my merc and had some good fair fights. you will also find people of higher RR that see you are lower will hold off using all RA;s to make the fight fairer

as for going out solo as a tank its gonna be a tuff life. if you cant find a grp or solo is your thing then you really should consider rolling a steather .. (god did i just say that !)

you could also keep at it i know when we run a fg certain names we will never attack solo and if u solo a lot u will be know for solo and the FG's "should" let u b

i for one will keep an eye out for ya and try not to gank ya from now on

Why should he respect it? Respect should be shown when someone achieves something that is hard to achieve. Outnumbering someone is not hard.

If im 1v1'ing most people around the same areas want the same thing, however if a full group decides to come and toddle over and 8v1 it on behalf of that person ill spread the sort of feelings id be felt namely;

"what was the sodding point in that? was 1v1, let it be ffs"

Go and buy a clue stick? I was responding to Andrilyn who said that the orignal thread poster doesn't respect zergers and because of that he shouldn't ask to respect his soloing.

Must be r0x to farm threads.

Fighting a 1v1 with a certain class vs another class that has no chance is that fair aswell? 1v1 ain't going to be fair unless you play against the exact same class with the exact same stats and abilities up.
I was just pointing out that if you insult or swear at people than they are likely to keep on doing what they are doing instead of following your selfmade rules as 1v1 or FGvFG are player made rules not the way the game was suppose to be played as then there would be Arena's or something so nobody could join in a battle that was already going on.

If I want someone to do something for me irl I don't go and insult him and tell him to do it as then I get a big "fuck you!" in my face, I will ask it politely and will accept it if they do not want to do it as it's their choice, same as in game actions.
If someone wants to play according to your rules it's a bonus but don't expect from everyone to just play according to those rules and especially don't force them upon people by insulting them as that will backfire more often than not.

I agree, fairness is not possible in the game and the friendly way is a better way of convincing people. That being said, I am all for arenas like in guild wars + a duel zone.

Unfortunately your about 1/100 people who feels the same way.

Daoc is played by people. People have different ways of having fun..

Theres a little saying "you cant please everyone" it comes into this ;e

Agree 100%

You won't get people to respect your fights by abusing them.. They are every bit as entitled to play the game the way they choose.
I'm much more likely to leave someone's 1v1 if they pm me politely if I add (which I try not to) than if they hurl a load of abuse in my direction.

The first thing you should learn however is that soloing, expecially on a tank is a hard life. What appears to happen is that until your high RR and people recignise your name, you'll just get zerged. This of course leads to most people quitting before they ever reach high RR..
There's been plenty of times i've been out trying to solo, been semi-near other high RR soloers and a FG has rolled past, zerged me, left the other guy and pissed off. It does after a few times make you wonder why you bother not adding, then you get that great 1v1 fight and you realise that it was actually worth all the pain after all.

respect should be given if you deserves respect as an individual, which takes time since you gotta get to know a person first. Not based on playstyles in a pc game. Nothing about sitting on urs ars and spitting venom at people is very respect giving imo.
Too many too often in this game confuse respect with something completely different and makes me wonder what kind of interaction people really have with the outside world.

Give more solo'ers to zerg for free rps :<

And you are? nevermind.

And sneakies yeh it's tough at first, even when i first started my warrior, i always liked to solo and i found at lower level rr your best to spec passive ra's. While your doing that, you can get to a decent rr level and start buying things like purge 3. I just found at lower rr, go for passive abilities rather than timered abilities and i feel you will do better. Things like mob blocking etc.

And if you want to solo alot, i would recomend you also go ml10 warlord. And the cl group heal line, for resists, and semi okay heals.

And another thing if you keep at it and solo alot, people will recognise that and you wont get zerged as much by fg's. And after a while also, you will notice which areas are good for solo and which one's are not.

Anyways hoped that helped.

Just stick wiht it m8, a vast proportion of soloers are stealthers whereby they can choose most of the time when to fight etc. As a visible tank your at the mercy of the enemies, i find tetsudo is a nice ability for me to use, just watching a fg smack on you for 45 seconds to get a low amount of rp is hilarious, but then thats how some have got such high rr by zerging soloers.

You get to know the soloers out there and you get an idea where they roam and its great to get solo action when you find it and is worth the 10 steamrolls you got 1 hour before. Im lucky to make 5k per night with my warrior but to get real fights with to name a few, VF, censi, katago, theodon, magol and solamnus makes soloing worth while.

Stick at it and ill keep an eye out for you in NF :)

What ML raid have you been following :D

was one of them loverly ml rushs done over 2 days.

took me 1day /play to get level 50, fully kitted, and ml's to ML9 done (admittedly its only ML7 and trying to get mlxp through rvr for it (and failing atm).


As for my 'abuse' to my fellow hibby adders. That amounts to 'please dont sodding well add on 1v1 fights, i'd rather die then u can kill as you please'

Greets,

Stunt.

Only advice i can get is hang in there hehe. Its incredibly tough at low rr to solo as a visible tank. I was specced s/s in beginning and didnt have a very good template even. I neevr could be arsed much with technicalities but just wanted to have some fun and face whatever i could get on the battlefield. I lost almost all fights i came across lol...it took along while to kill me but i couldnt damage a fly. I just never did quit anything i really set my mind to and can be quite stubborn though. I know that after 10 zergdowns and a few losses there will come a fight i finally win. And thats worth it. I wouldnt wanna have it any different. It mirrors rl in the way that you gotta have a real down to apreciate the ups. Same in game. Some days do feel like a complete waste of my life though hehe...but i guess in the long run it gives you some satisfaction to know you never gave up. But in the end its ur own choise to solo...and i would never whine or abuse anyone for zerging me even though i might curse a lil and be bitter a few minutes. Everyone gotta fit in this game and if you make the choise of going out solo in the big battlefield ur in for a tough time. Its not for crybabies hehe.
So...remember be patient and dont let anyone see ur bitter!:p
Over and out..

I've always found that giving someone respect until they give you a reason not to is a much better approach to a happy world.

There's a difference between respecting someone and showing someone respect.

I'd recommend getting rr5 in groups/zerging until you start trying to solo, before that its just not worth it, trust me.
