I play alb excal, the fire wizz.

Been to thid, almost every other night since sunday...Sunday was the last for me.

From what I noticed, there were about 4-5Fg albs outside CK trying to take CK [I'll come back to this] and maybe 1 1/2 FG mids inside..

Okay, I bolt... Get bolted, kill - get killed. As it should be.

Now... To the whine,

WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH ALBS ON THID?! DO THEY KNOW HOW TO TAKE A BLOODY KEEP?!

Okay, I know it's not mainstream RvR and there's less to think about... But comon :/ How hard is it to take a bloody keep? I've seen relic raids done with 1FG and we can't do this?

Oh, just for people who don't know:


MA = Main Assist, you all assist one person and attack who they're attacking.
Anything that can AoE Mezz/Stun = LEADS, obvious reasons. Not the gimped paladin at the front.
Skill = Laughable.


This is a whine, well that bit was - Flame me if you wish.


Temptessoffire: Nice bolts ;) If I ever come back and hit 50, I want to see if in Emain or smt. Best RM I've seen in a while in Thid.
Londoner: Cleric in my realm, cool person ^_^

Hibs ;o AHAHAH... I pwned about 1fg of you at level 21, with a sorc grouped with me only... o_o Nah, you're good..

Anyway, flame me if you want. I don't care.

May be an idea to help ''those who dont know'' by telling them how to do it instead of just flaming them...

/macro assist /assist <name of char who u want to assist>

..is the command to create a button for your quickbar, which when clicked will give u the same target as the person chosen as the ''MA''

Thid is supposed to be FUN after all :wub:

Share your pain.. alb sux for sure in bg..most think for some reason that the best is to stay at range and nuke when one pop's.. no leader no charge. 20 alb's in thid no person to control a ram, not even one.

Still manage to give mids a hard time with my cabalist Frugel, pity about the thid cap system these day's..

hmm. i must say my opinion.
I have been soloing some in Thidranki with my Necro (Mirokasin) while albs was trying to get ck time after time after time.
What i saw was alb coming in strong to ck then suddenly stop cause all the casters is droppping like flies and they stop and camp ck. (last clerics/casters getting killed by sb,s ns)
This is just a hint.
Do not camp the central keep (CK) for to long, u will get a 2 front war and loose.... or get hammerd down 1 by 1 from stealthers.
Try to use the element of suprise and the unexpected!!!!

regarding me helping albion :). i was just waiting for stealther to jump me and kill em so i could save a couple of casters life :p.

And a good MA train is good for u who didnt know also :clap:

Also wanna say hello to some mid friends, that small kobby sb Fenu IX and the fast running troll Airbag skald for not yelling mid zergs at me ;)...
And u sb,s who gather up and attack me 5 at a time, u should be ashamed...

Have fun all. if u want a duel vs a necro in thid just pm me...

/macro assist /macro %t /assist %t

%t = your target :)

makes a button called [Target] to assist [Target]

you can also use for silly things like

/macro tongue /emote sticks his tongue out at %t

I would suggest that you learn how to play without using assist macros.

Macros are not as efficient as targetting manually. Just agree on a MA in group and hit the targets he hits (make him wear a pink outfit if that helps :p ).. By spamming the /assist macro you get about a 1sec delay from the time your MA pics a target and you "get" the target which in the end slows down the whole pwn process. This also becomes less usefull when targets go down really fast or if ma switch targets a lot.

And afterall macroing is just another step towards mindless 2 button zerging and who wants to play like that... ;)

Depends who is in the BG really.

If you've got a group or 2 full of people who are willing to work together and ignore the stupidity of the rest in the Thid, you can accomplish a lot. When you've a a Thid CG full egos and no clear leadership, best thing to do is ignore it and use it only to keep track of Mid/Hib locs then your groups do your own thing.

If your plans work, its amazing how many of the random idiots, who thought they new better, start to follow your lead.

you can just lessen that to /macro assist /assist

No it doesn't.

/macro assist /macro %t /assist %t
makes a macro that makes a macro that assists the target you have when you make the macro. So you'd hit it with say "bob" targetted and get a macro called "bob" which contained /assist bob
/macro assist /assist
just makes a macro that assists your current target, which is not the same thing at all.

With the latter you have to retarget bob each time you assist, with the former you just tap your "bob" button and it assists bob regardless of your target.

and the point was putting %t makes NO difference from /assist when assisting the same person..
since when u highlight that person and hit your /macro assist /assist it still gives you their target... if you want to assist someone else then fine,, but using /assist as a general macro does the same job.

except /macro assist /assist wont help much when the ma changes his target.

the other one is better, since you can have a key configured as your ma key and change the macro with a few clicks when you play in a grp with a new ma.

I always use /macro assist /assist.


By using this macro you must first click on the name of the person you want to assist. If you use /macro assist /assist <name> and that person dies, you cant use the macro to assist someone else.
