Wanna know why ?
You and your guild seem too have claimed that AMG wall, and everytime my guild group goes to it, we get /y Piss off or /y Our Wall..
Maybe its a joke, but so what, its not exactly working together either is it.

And anyway its not very often I goto Odins, if im there its because of the Zerg in Emain or to chill because of Hib incompetance in its own realm.

And Lofff as Danyan says pull your head out that ass of yours..

You complain no hibs go to emain because there is just a zerg and NO relic raid ? Dagda was checked by by peeps that had alts there.

Then you say you go to Odins because you don't like to zerg ??


Maybe Mr. you need to get your head out of your arse and not lofff........

Maybe I didnt make it clear what I meant..
When Alb/Mid zerg and hibs dont do shit about it.

THATS when I goto Odins.

Well as i c it a 1 fg v 1 fg hasnt much to do with skill really. Well maybe say like this. It´s as much skill as Zerg.

1 fg against 1 fg is all about speed and CC.
The fg that stands still looses. How much skill does it take to run into another FG and then mezz. Tanks go after healer/mages.

Lets play spot the newbie

I definitely disagree on that. I've won 1fg-1fg without speed and without CC, simply by using some good teamwork and tactics. That's called skill.

-edit-

Not that skill is the only thing that gives satisfaction in this game. I do agree a 5fg vs 5fg can be fun. And yes, maybe can even require some skill too

 

[kameh]

Personally I'd say 1 group v another equal group isnt just about skill but keeping your cool. With my NS in emain I've seen a lot of people fook up fights by panicing. I wont say what class usually does it though

*waves to all the level 50s that can see him a mile off*

On a slightly related topic:
When someone sends out an /ac saying "we're doing a retake," or "defence needed at...." many lvl 30-40s turn up at DL ready to defend our realm.......we can stand there for up to 2 bloody hours before someone will take us, most of us end up walking or logging. WHY?

..oh and BTW, if I get any more scouting ORDERS from people who arn't willing to spare some time to help me clear the gorge campers so us lowbies can make the long slog to Emain alone I won't be scouting at all. PMing me things like "you're a NS, go find us that big group of albs so we can have some RP" is not well recieved after you've just told me you can't be bothered to help me hunt the lone stealther who's making my job bloody difficult.

Ouchie, rant over,

My info is free, just ask nicely

?!!?

excuse meh?! you have bloody legs dont you? use them!!!

i knew my way around the frontiers just fine at lvl 19, your talking about lvl 30-40 chars too scared to go outside without some lvl 50's to show them where to go?! LOOK ON MAPS FFS!

 

[Danya]

it's more a case of step out of DL as a lone level 30-40 and get owned by Alpha...

 

[sharon_corr]

Hi

I'm one of those gray bards that roam the frontier either cuz i have nothing better to do, or because I offer my taxi service free (yes FREE, but your donations are welcome ) to lonely shades or rangers or such.

And, i'm one of those who like to be stuck in BG. Yes, BG taught me a lot about RvR and I even saw that those things can be used in real rvr aswell (thanks to my dear guild NaFianna who always accept on carrying me with them wherever they roam).

One thing about zerging, if I may: You know, I found out that hibs dont have to zerg. Middies, yes... they like the raw power. Albies... well, they couldnt even breathe otherwise. But us? Shh... come closer, lemme tell you a secret: we can OUTSMART them... <giggle>

Umm... well, enuf of this newbie babble... I bid you all a fond farewell...

@ Charonel

It's not a case of protection, it's a case of speed. It takes a long while to walk to Emain and while you're under lvl 40 you're a zero risk kill for every class at 47+ and it's very annoying to spend a quarter of an hour walking, to get 2 shotted by a skald who just happened to be passing.

 

[old.Nol]

...

I believe 1fg vs 1fg is about experience, I have played with various levels of people, when I play with experienced rvr's, we can almost certainly win. Right now there is no way hib can win in CC quickcast contest, so bards rely heavily on people to interrupt the opposing CC class. Fanning out is imperative at contact, try to make sure we are spread over the CC radius. Not breaking mezzes, specially not on the healers/clerics. Just some basic rules in rvr, they come with experience, and skillfull players make a huge difference.

 

[Kobold]

more skilled and experienced players > less skilled and exp players

ah well ... yes ^^

[Kobold]

m000

ud b back sooner than u think

not so sure. It's not much point playing daoc if you don't play it much....but if you play it alot, it fun, you get good friends, maybe have same nice group on every day etc, but it's not much point just log in once a while find you're self alone in emain or sumthing getting ribbed to pieces by a zerg or 2

As for lvling...I'm fecking bored of the mobs and hunting in DAoC from lvl 1-50 (alltrough I want my menta to 50).

I'm sure most peeps gonna move to PvP server too when that comes, and donno if I wanna lvl ANOTHER char, cause pvp don't exactly makes the lvling easier

But I'm sure gonna hang around spam those boards when I'm bored at work a while more

hehe i know, i've run there (allways without speed ) many many times in the past solo, because emain used to be moderately enjoyable. the question is though, these days, why oh why would you want to bother?

emain is for farming
everywhere else is for fun.

[old.Glendower]

game issues and culture

Xanth, many of the things you are complaining about (and I share many of your observations/opinions) are the result of poor game design.

Back in Beta, I took it upon myself to make note of things that sucked about the game and to make a list...when i ran a cross the same issue, I would check next to it for an inticator as to how often that came up. I also wrote down ideas to improve the game. About every 2-3 weeks, I sent email to mythic about it. I still do this irregularly now.

While they have failed to get to some things (and it is hard to get folks to rethink basic flaws in design...they get stuck on their "vision"), I am happy to see they have taken steps to remedy a great number of things I had noted.

That being said, I have nothing but contempt for GOA and their poor service/competency, as they are strangling us with their ineptitude.

The other startling thing I have noticed about this server is that the guilds do not seem to have very good organization or commitment from members. People change guilds as often as they change clothes with little sense of loyalty or willingness to work things out when disagreements arise. Even people in the same guild do not organize much to help new or aspiring members, plan/execute hunts, etc, and there seems to be little acountability of any sort. Recruitment seems to consist of PMs.. "hey! You want to join XXX guild???" instead of careful screening and evaluation of potential members for compatibility and commitment. This has some rather morbid results as you have noted.

I speak to this issue as one who played EverQuest for 3 years, and I was in a guild (ONE guild) the last two years of that time.

Until Europeans abandon the "I am here for ME..so SOD OFF!" attitude so many have, develop a sense of commitment and teamwork inside of this game framework, and start procedural and resource organization inside of their guilds, then coordinate those guilds into a working alliance, the game on this server is going to continue to be crap. Rejoice in the knowlege that the pattern is that the kiddies will be getting bored about now and starting to quit the game, so what will be left in a few months will generally be the mature, more thoughtful persons. What is unfortunate is that GOA's dalliance on the patches is also driving out some of the very good players =(.

At least the new /random commands should make loot distribution easier =b.

Anyway, GL and see you in-game =).

Wtf?!? WE joke in guild about "taliwall" and some non guild members joke about it too but not once since I've been going to odin's has anyone in aop ever said anything like that to anyone, in fact if it gets busy we don't get the hump, we suicide and go somewhere less busy instead or even emain *gasp*, think if anyone has ever said that to you xanthian you had better contact a guild officer and get it sorted.

We do work together, we make a CG if there is more than 1 grp, we do take non aop members because we ARE nice people (also we can't reasonably expect others to go away, I'm sure people even do /who odin to see if we are there) and not exclusive and snotty, in fact I'm sure people will post here and say that we are friendly and don't sneer at people who are a bit slow of the mark, rare to find us shouting and yelling at others because they didn't pull their weight (unless it's one of our own )
