[-Dreama-]

already think your a nob for stealing lights account

He didn't steal lights account...it was his account, and he played light untill the mid lvls, then his girlfriend (the light we know) took over the char. When they broke up the account would naturally go back to the owner of it. He let her buy the account, for the price he had paid for the sub over the months and a bt extra as far as I know...what is so bad in that? The fact that she got a new job and moved and DID NOT WANT the account anymore doesn't mean he stole it from her....ffs people, get your facts right before stoneing people in the town square.

OY U ENVENOM AT THE BACK UR STILL THROWING ROCKS!!!!


Cheeky bast!

 

[Release]

I never look at someones rps and think 'wow hes got loads of rps, he must be really good', I judge people by my own ecounters with them and how they resulted etc.
Normaly when I look at someones rps its more just 'hmmm he must play alot' or 'ahhh another stealther'

People I think deserve the most respect are Healers as they can't do anything apart from CC/heal/res.

That's what it mostly is.

 

[old.Elrohir_CBH]

Your post maybe nice to ppl that dont have many rp , but you basicly told every1 that has much rp ,that they are sad suckers whit no live , but belief it or not some of us can have both (not be thou ,only daoc for me ,) ).

 

[milithiel]

if i remember rightly, which i do, there is more than one frontier in the game of DAoC. the amount of RPs you have has nothing to do with how long your in emain. what if someone has never even been to emain but has 700k rps?
and what about the people who will always solo and never group with anyone in RvR and have loads of RPs, why doesnt that mean they have skill?

i dont have imaginary friends, they stopped playing with me, didnt you read all the sig?

 

[old.Tzeentch]

Basically, you just said, to all the people who have spent time getting their RP's : You suck, and you are of little skill since you camp Emain all the time.

Adding little polite phrases does not hide this.

So, why do you complain about people being hostile?


Did you know that in the next patch, having a higher realm rank, will benefit you, in the way of abilities?

This will give an edge to those who have spent their time getting their rps, so there is nothing wrong with that.

Also, I do believe, that someone who spends all their time at emain as you say, would be more knowledgable in the ways of RvR, than someone who doesn't.

Would you care to offer a reason why this would not be true?

 

[old.Odysseus]

Im the l33test class for RP-hunting, no doubt about that.
I have very few (196K or so) rp as I have chosen to spend my time elsewhere than emain.

Does that make me inferior to other scouts in terms of skillz?
Perhaps.
It sure will when RA's kick in, as more RP = significant advantage.

I have conducted a little research, asking some scouts with high RP how much RP they make per hour, which IMHO is the true measure of skillz.

Any moron can spend 10 hours a day in emain and get a billion rp, but the true measure of skillz would have to be RP over time (cant just compare different classes here without care though).

Suffices to say that eventhough I have significantly fewer RP than some of the high-RP scouts, I can make just about the same RP/hour as those I have asked.

Conclusion:
#RP != Skillzz.Magnitude

 

[Danya]

More RP doesn't necessarily indicate skill, but it does indicate experience in RvR, and that can be the difference between winning and loosing. People who've bought accounts are an obvious exception to this, a large proportion of them are hopeless n00bs with their class, they haven't had 50 levels of xping to learn it so tend to suck.

I think Sub has it right with the teamwork aspect of RvR. A group of 8 working well in a team is better than 16 uberl33t solo chars that never speak to each other. On the see hidden thing, it's a bit of an overnerf IMO, especially for the archers as they have very little to add to a group compaired to other stealthers (in particular minstrels).

rp over time?


cool, give me enemies 24/7... Oh wait wait Hibs only come to emain for keeps and mids spend their time lvling buffbots for their rogueclasses (the invisible midforce oO)

errrrr so yes sometimes it's boring and there are times i dont make rp's for 30mins


ktnxbye =)


edit: with all those gimpclasses you f00king need alot RvR before you make decent rp's

x: WTF ONLY 220 dmg with my uber 50+15 LongBow on a dwarf??!!??
y: duh, it's a skald

then they play a VERY sic amount of time in other frontiers due to emain being the main battle ground

 

[old.LandShark]

You don't get R4+ by being crap. If you ask me, being R4+ is impossible without being a good player too. But.... having low RP doesn't make you a newb. It just means you haven't been in emain much yet.

 

[old.Odysseus]

There can be no doubt that experience is important too, but as the game is, I can see myself having 20-30% the RP of some ppl of same class but still being able to make the RP in an hour as them.
Skill and experience _is_ a factor. Being coolheaded comes with that, and the ability to react correctly in stressed situations.

That said, time is THE one most important factor, all respect to those that spend a lot of time in emain. They will get a bonus for that in terms of game mechanism that will make them superior - leading to a situation where i no longer will be able to make the same rp over time as them.

(As if i care, my char is destroyed in said patch, so u wont see me much in emain after that anyway).

 

[k9awya]

daoc dosent involve skill

.......

 

[old.chesnor]

Archers are the easiest class to get RP until the nerf, clear fact. Therefore, archers require less skill to earn equal RP than most other classes (like, who is gonna get 1million+ RP with a Healer ?, no matter how super-humanly skilled you are at this game, that ain't gonna happen).

So the facts are, archers with high RP doesn't automatically equal skill, or experience in the frontiers or anything. It just means you play lots. What it does mean is the archers are skilled in knowing all the juicy camp spots so the can whack endless streams of greys, greens and the occasional blue until they call the big boys out to hunt them down. Then its move on to the next sweet camp spot, rinse and repeat. RR5 here we come!!!

Come on, how hard can it be being an archer in the frontiers. No 'but you havn't played one' BS either. You can go invisible ffs, and you hit for crazy dmg at crazy range.

But having said that, I am sure some of the peeps with millions of RP havn't griefed it all, so respect is due

 

[Aussie-]

yadda yadda yadda

it's more then killing someone

The right moment, a good spot to shoot him, make sure he dont get out of range, know how you're gonna escape etc etc

but yeah, it's easy
btw, we suffered alot more then others in PvE life

make one... stop whining

 

[old.LandShark]

i love how the nerf that's meant to stop overpowered archers, will kill minstrels in the same stroke...
looking forward to being a gimped stealther very soon, i'm bad enough already =)

edit: future tense! future tense!

Dunno which one of the nerfs you are talking about but that's a load of bull, both infil and sb are far superior at farming in this patch (especially critblades), one shotting yellow casters without unstealthing so you can keep on farming even if there's absolutely no one else around. Assassins can kill ppl even if there are 100 enemies and only yourself, archer usually cant take a target if there are 2 or more

 

[old.Odysseus]

I can snipe greens from full groups, nowhere near what assassins can do.

Note that 6 sec pbt will nullify that and the only i can snipe is leather/cloth/studded wearing ppl.

 

[Tranquil-]

A group with 6sec pbt is pretty much invulnerable to any archer attack.

It's not really like pbt is rare.

Gluch comes to mind and I'm 100% sure we'll have a 1M+ RP healer on Excal in a few months

  2) Gluch Hohohohohohohohohohoho (50th lvl Norseman Healer) [Midgard's Chosen] 1,798,626

 

[old.LandShark]

in time we'll have an R5+ in ANY class eleasias.... fair to say that no healer is going to get 1mil+ RP's in the same amount of time as an archer.
On the assassin vs archer farming thing, OK, THIS patch an assassin is better with the ability to one-shot and stay stealthed. Can't deny that, certainly, but next patch when they unstealth no matter what? At that point, very different story.... sure they'll still be able to pick up lone people with the greatest of ease, but show me an archer that can't do that... POSSIBLY against a 6sec PBT caster but that's 44spec, so it ain't just anybody who's going to have that.

 

[Eleasias]

Im sure Xanatea would have atleast 800k RP with his healer if he had played with it instead with his hunter ^^ (he started playing a week ago again)

 

[old.MallusTheGimp]

Don't use 'assasins' in such a general term. Critblades are best off for RP farming in this patch because they can one shot and stay stealthed, therefore killing people in the middle of groups. With Mallus, I NEVER one shot anymore unless really lucky, I prefer to take out stragglers in 1's, 2's and 3's. We don't perf for enough to actually rely on all kills coming from one shots. I expect nightshades would be the same, so it's only really critblades that MAY be able to farm RP better then an archer. So, IMO archers (maybe not hunter) are still best rp farmers until 1.50

 

[Alrindel]

As an archer who has been one-shotted by Mallus many, many times over the months, this is how much sympathy he gets from me:

Yeah its dead easy ganking greys/greens/blues at Collory with a Healer

By the time the EU servers have a Healer with 1million RP, the EU servers will have archers with 3million RP....Go figure..
