Do PPL really enjoy this

[Theodoric]

Was wondering if ppl really do enjoy camping towers waiting/hoping for someone to attack or pass by.

Because it seems to me that the vast majority of ppl seem to be doing this

My guild has recently become active again <the pull of da0c was too strong>
and apart from 2 or 3 alb ggs and 1 hib the rest seem to want to move in zergs or camp towers .A shame really as NF has much more going for it in terms of FG V FG than OF

 

[Mastade]

dont get it either..

patience is a virtue they say

 

[Flimgoblin]

find fight on map, work out where nearest enemy port destination is.

Place body in between.

Voila! fg fights.

to bad alb map is delayed with like 5 mins if you ask me.

oh and yes i find enjoyment in FG fights and camping bridges and twrs, had good fun last night in emain from crimm -> DC

 

[Sendraks]

The point I think Flim is making is that if you look at the map, you see where the common open field combat sites are. If you know the enemy is arriving at point A and is likely to travel to point B, find a spot in between and surprise them.

The map delay doesn't matter, just use the map to work out the best place to lay an ambush.

As for the people camping in towers, well they wouldn't do it if they didn't get people to attack. Avoid the towers, avoid them and eventually they'll get bored and stick their heads out.

The problem is tho, most fights take place in the same places, Beno docks, round HW and Bled Bridge. Its hard to get a fg v fg fight without loads of adds. We sometimes take and claim a tower as guardspam will show 8, claimed by Synergy means a fg of synergy in that area, hoping to get some fg's out and into that area, but even then, 9 times out of 10 there will still be adds.

 

[eggy]

Well, can't speak for other guilds, but our general idea is:

*Roam Alb, Roam Mid, Roam Hib - to work out where the zergs/activity is and where is the most viable to farm.
*Take a tower in the most appropriate zone, that's going to give us the most action. You can guarentee when "Synergy have claimed the <xxx> outpost", there'll only be a full group of us, roaming around the area - come play!
*Wait til we get zerged/farm all we can, then roam again to wind up the night.

Obviously, this all depends on main keep sieges etc that may be happening on various nights.

Answer? #1337ggs.exc!

 

[Ging]

Eggy will prolly strip and run around naked to draw the twolls in!!!

hmm enjoy running about with me scout more, but went on pry to play an old char camped a tower that a mid GG took, made 3 bubs and killed 2 albs solo with a lvl42 unbuffed BD, pretty fun cause it drew in the albs having a mid keep in their frontier near beno, but then some sorc 1 hit me. :<

 

[Deerstalker]

Keep fights are fun, its the main reason I play daoc.

It's a goal to accomplish, that all strive towards and finally win or loose, but your never sure of the outcome, the fights are always unpredictable, esp when incomming from the other realm pulls the fight away or changes it.

fg vs fg is over way too soon, and is all down to who has the better insta crowd control, which I don't find fun at all.

[Coldbeard]

Keep fights fun ? If you play a ranged class maybe , try playing some melee in a big keep/tower fight .. you can either 1) Use the killer-trebutchets or catapults and wtfpwn !( as if ) or you can 2) sit and wait till your ranged m8s kill the enemy or the enemy charges... weeho.

but may I ask u, what is the point to run around solo ? There is a fucking scout on every corner .. so actualy camping towers IS an option for many ppl ..
Well, ok .. I agree that some ppl do it caus they like it .. but most do it caus they cant do anything else .. they just get zerged by ur REALMMATES.
I think u should post the same thing into albion section and ask them not to zerg or add(fight 1 stealther .. 10 adds xDDD ) .. will be much better .. tho I doubt they will listen

 

[Vodkafairy]

lol, oh please

you couldn't compete for shit as alb group, so you rerolled mid and kept steamrolling poor solo people and gimps in odins over and over and over again.

now you whine about people camping towers?

fact is, people can do whatever the hell they like, they can towerhump just as much as your no-skill no-principle no-morale group likes to grief everyone to bits

uke:

its like PV, except they did a better job at alb and mid

LoL it hurt when you die to us or something ?

I never said ppl couldnt camp towers i asked if they enjoyed it.

Never competed as albs? hmmmm thats bullshit and you know it

Makes me laugh when cocks like you get on your high horse talking about ppl can do what they want , yet you cry about us rerolling <doingwhat we want >

PPL like you always after some attention i guess eh ? turning a simple question into a flame session

 

[Vodkafairy]

not really, just giving my opinion on your way of playing. never said you couldn't reroll or anything like that, i just think it's pure hypocracy to whine about towercampers when what you do (running around adding on all, killing solo people, etc) is just as 'bad'

and lol at you trying to get credit for killing me when all you did was add on fights, and ran like dogs when you had no zerg to hide behind

if they do nothing but towercamp, then yes they obviously enjoy it, it's not rocket science is it? this thread was probably made out of frustration, just like you frustrate a lot of other people with your retarded playstyle

- if you want fg vs fg, then stop doing nothing but adding and griefing solo people and small groups. then try to arrange fights with other fg's roaming (ie, pm one of them on irc and ask in which zone they are)

[Theodoric]

hmmmm i think you will find we run as a fg .... and yes ill kill any solo or small grps i see.

Again you go on about ppl playing how they like . Yet you try to tell me how i should play.

TBH i rarely see you solo

Mytic said a long time ago thay whanted big epic fights, big groups and fast killing, and it all end up in fg v fg or solo. Afther a few years mytic makes NF to force zerge v zerge. So if you are looking for something els you guys are in the wrong game realy.

That's probably the most clueless post in this thread.

mybe so, but its still true.

:worthy:

well sorc/caba duo is insanely strong, the random groups i ran in a couple times should be a good challenge for you. sorry if you felt like it was zerging, but you could have killed us (which you did at times also) which makes it a challenge in my point of view. id take on a similar group any day if i ran a duo like that

and theodoric, you duo'd with another mage and added on us at least 3 times in one day while we were fighting. i value challenges in daoc more than anything, and tbh i don't see the challenge of killing solo people with a fg. unless they are known zerglings or i am in a really bad mood i dont kill people that dont give any challenge

time to realise im just giving my opinion, you can play however you like but i can still give my opinion on it and so can you, hence such a thing as a forum exists -_-

 

[Kalba]

I guess you never noticed that what Mythic means to do, and what happens when they do something are 2 different things?

And for fucks sake, if they want big epic fights with hundreds of players, MAKE THE GAME ENGINE SUPPORT IT!

ofc i noticed, but mytic have said thay whant epic battles, so thay make NF and force us into realm v realm. Yea its sad thay whant epic battles but dont have the hardware to support it.

Ye i ran with a 48 RM . I guess tho im not supposed to defend myself

Sorry vodka in future ill just stand there and let farm your rpts like that

 

[Rushie]

i dont mind being killed by a fg, its usually the zergs at bled bridge that annoy me, i mean i always try to win mez anyway so kinda bring it on myself anyway so wont hear me whine about it

i agree with u about the challenge side of the game now also, its whats keeping me playing atm, the only time i rvr is when i duo as its when i have the most fun and thats all because of the challenge.......................... okok and the thrill when u just killed a lot of ppl

edit : was supposed to put a Vf quote but cba now

Since NF came out, I have seen more epic battles with hundreds of people fighting either side that didn't crash the server than I ever saw in OF. Oh yes back then you'd see hundreds of people preparing for a fight and then kaboom!, the server would melt.

So far on the epic battle front NF has done pretty well for me.

Well, I have seen pictures on my screen of those, but when comes and epic fight the framerate drops so low that playing is actually impossible(100+ppl on screen)

I don't know who you are but I personally neglect hitting keep doors totally.

I also don't like going afk in keeps, what I like is when I actually have to use my classes abilities. Yes, I am a "1337 w@nk3r dood"(discovered by someone) and I totally dislike keeps.

And for the daily wisdom,

It iz a known fact that most keepraid braggers(omg keep raids are so cool!!...) play warriors, heroes, paladins, berserkers, mercenaries, blademasters, savages, skalds, champions, armsmen. They are different than most of us "1337 w@nk3r doods" who have little-to-none fun on keep situations based on our classes (lolz take that u nasty keep door!11one) or our "1337" gaming mentality (hmmm, hitting people is more fun than hitting doors/ getting burned away by the balanced oil / getting shot to pieces by the ohsobalancedaswell archer classes :l ).

 

[Lethul]

its like PV, except they did a better job at alb and mid

actually , they are better then PV both as alb and mid from what ive seen

 

[censi]

whats the problem? If a tower is under attack best way to defend it is on the battlements (hence the design)

If its not under attack then camping it and waiting for action is certainly not much fun. (and you will find none do this)

Tbh even in heavy tower sieges the best RP is to get out on the open field and mix it up on the fringes (have a kick about, stick a few balls in the back of the net). All the attackers are primed to mezz, stun, and wtfpwn nuke anything that pops on a battlement into oblivion neway..

its all fun.
