Fun???

[ironheart]

THIS IS MY POINT OF VIEUW, don't flame me for having one.....


effects off - 20 ppl in screen

LAG even with broadband

this really sucks, it could be great fun but it isn't.

then we have those suicidal kiddie zergs

then we have the lack of organization

then we have 30 ppl running around like headless chicken

OMG

sorry ppl but even if u have RR 7-8-9 it doesn't mean a thing, it not difficult to spend two hours a day, suicidal rushing AMG or whatever place, get a kill on ur account leech some RP from fellow group memebers then release and start all over again.

How many ppl, groups were able to stay in RVR for a full hour? (and are not scouts nor infils) working as a team with three or two full groups, well balance? haven't seen many, oyeah, the famous Killhorde, maybe, and maybe first cohort did some good agains him according to a former post, but otherwise, didly, kiddies stuff

i know it's impossible cause Mids Hibs have the same suicidal zerg mentality.
this just ain't my cup of tea

i would like a place where we can do challenges between mids , hibs or albs with equal ammount of ppl, but thats just a dream, it is not possible, i know.

Relic raids: omg thats hell, 70+ ppll on both sides fighting, NOT ONE CONNECTION seems able to handle that kind of info, or is it just the goa server that sucks? i dunno.
whats the use of beeing there at a raid, if u can place one aoe nuke and wait for other ppl to finsih em u get RP, nothing about it, but try to move an inch while there are 40 charging, NO WAY.


i know that in my guild we will put all our attention to create balanced groups and try to obtain 20 ppl that like to go in there and do our stuff without beeing overrun by suicidal freaks. this won't happen today , nor tomorrow cause most of em are still to low to be able to be some sort of resistance without beeing free RP for the MIDS or HIBS, cause thats what they are, FREE points, Enemy sees a blue or green con<<<<20 charge the bloke :'-(((
It is their full right off course, no probs with that but thes lower cons would be better in a party thats well organized and has some use from this character, like an ace mezz, or root or whatever...

eitherway as we have seen lately ALB sucks , nobody knows shit in there. And where are those alliance??? only read of em, never heard of em, never seen any form of alliance in action. What guild takes care of scouting, or who does it.
What guild is best at defending the walls at amg or mmg?
Who is specialized in keep defence, and can a guild support a keep and keep it for longer period of time. Is contact between guilds from an alliance good enough to get enough ppl together on short notice to go and defend once keep or relic???

nobody seems to care in here.

all ppl care about is YESSS I HAVE RR XXXXXX. just to get some form of confirmation from other players... tsssss
what do the GM do?? i don't really know, i think they are just as selfish as the rest of the ppl and need to train ther secondairy or tertiary character instead of maintaining the things they created.
I know i cant complain off mu GM he's a hardworking arse. He's giving it all he's got to get the guild running and lately got some assistance in doing so. Now he can do others things, thats just a matter of guild organization.
Yes , the game starts in a guild , and yes this must be organized to proceed to RVR with ur guild, if u go solo in there , drop in a group full of "strange" ppl that don't know what the others can do or what they must do things CAN't work.

instead of counting ur RP or UR XP start doing something usefull in there, xp'ing is needed, ok, but RP is not that crucial, it just gets u some comfert during gameplay, start looking for some ppl u can play with or do something usefull with it , build something, organize. That is what xp'ing is all about , in my oppinion, get to know ppl, get to play with ppl, try things out, die together in there. at least u have an idea on what u can do with the ppl u met. So do they.

as i said when i started, this is my point of vieuw,
i can be wrong...

u can tell me i take this game to serious or to get a life or whatever, i don't mind.
All i know is that this game has a whole different meaning to it then to create a lvl 50 idiot ASAP and rush himself to death until he or she gets sick of it and sells his or her account.


one more thing: WHY I HATE ZERG

simple maths :::

albs at AMG/// 20 of em
MID zerg 40+>>>>overrun albs
albs release and regroup at CS
meantime
HIB zeg incomming 42 +>>>> overrruns weakened MID zerg
Mids release regroup at their keep
Albs arrive in AMG with reinforcment>>>>>35+ overrun HIB zerg...

BORING

i would like 20 albs at wall<<< 20-40 mids or hibs come at wall and have a fecking hard time getting thrue , or aren't even able to pass thrue. The wall is ours to keep.
this doesn"t have to be 24/24 like this, nor is it possible , but when it's done , this should be a possebility the way it is now, NO SHIT, not possible, except for killhorde maybe, i don't knwo never have met him , i guess, altho i died 100's of times in those suicidal rushes from albs.


well enough from me , lemmy knwo what ya think, nagging???

can be, i wonder if older players think the same....

summary plz

 

[Cloak_]

Well I had fun tnite with no zerg involved and kept a stable grp

 

[Subbiz]

gl getting rr9 with 2 hrs/day

 

[saltymcpepper]

i think i can sum this post up by saying:
lag is bad.

 

[Ensceptifica]

When I arrive at DL, I make a chatgroup and start inviting peeps in when groups are formed. That way we can coordinate keep retakes better etc. Now usually, after a while word gets around and everyone wants in. I've found that up to 3-4fg, this can work out just fine and result in some excellent teamwork. However most often a group of people that size gets out of control and starts zerging. So I try to limit the size of the armies I move with, and if 3-4fg isn't enough to beat invaders, then I don't feel much like making an even bigger zerg. Better to just defend keeps then, or go to another frontier.

It solves people mindlessly zerging, it solves the lag issue a bit (;

short resume

short resume:


instead of waisting money on buff bot

use new account to play alts while first account is logged in guarding a keep or wall, or scouting some forest.

instead of zerging out of boredom, avoid great groups, form wandering parties of two full groups tops and have open field encounters with an extra egde of exitement. This will also prevent from keep getting raid in our fronteer (2 full groups can take an undefended keep as well), if a huge (4-7 FG) party is spotted the only purpose would be a relic raid or keepraid. easy to spot the difference. and if u get zerged by a huge mob , u will be able to get some defence up.a hug mob won't be able to get as far as excalibur without beeing noticed. also with wandering paties chance of a ressurection is greater when u have been wiped out.

i suggest that the "alliance" , or one of them, get their act together, maybe six guilds can claim one keep in our fronteer and have ppl guarding it, in role. Smaller guilds can claim nearest keeps to have a chance in gaining some ese RP if thats what the would be about. So quick notification is possible and high level character can log their main in the keep, other keeps will also be able to come to aid when a siege is happening. Keep our fronteer clean, it would be nice to have lower level characters be able to hunt in a somewhat safer fronteer, nice mobs to be found for all levels i think. it's also fun to run into a somewhat higher level group of players and beeing able to mezz the load and kick the crap out of em, this won't happen now.....
low level characters could join such a party yo gain some xp in fronteer or some RP as well.


i suggest that al GM hold a regular meeting at the round table in camelot to discuss topics like who's going to claim what keep for the timebeeing, it is an expensive hobby, or giving general info like what keep will we try to take by force in other realmfronteers, who's going to guard it.

i suggest that GM's get their act together and if keeps are ours they get some sort of role scheme of persons guarding and spotting in our fronteer and in their keep, claimed or not. loads of ppl on line every day, not hard to spend one hour of crafting in a keep for a change. This also is a way of getting ur secondairy skills up to date.

i suggest that the albion empire start working together as a whole, not as a zerg but as a unit that has organization and order.

these are some simple ways that should be discussed and should be taken care of if we want albion to be a strong realm.
this way alliance chat would be used for better purposes then some faint rumors of a 'possible' relic raid. and that things aren't allways finished or lost when ppl finally get the word.
fast action, fast reaction and dividing tasks should make this all easier.

last thing: not all keeps have to be guarded to be honest, just the main KEYkeeps would do, these are sursbrouck, erasleight and benowyc. That would be three FG logged in fronteer and able te react in case of a raid. loads of ppl there to inform other guilds of a raid.

brilliant idea if i might say>>>>>>>>>>

Maybe bored minstrels could log at CS gate to form taxi rides towards these keeps at full speed. or Low level alts from a guild could do the same.

all i can say is instead of carying the name of BEEING a GM. ACT as one. otherwise ur position ain't worth SHIT.

Some nice ideas there, but don't forget it's just a game and most peeps just log on, have fun, log off ( ; Not everybody is an aspiring tactician or rule-obiding soldier

Yep, when people log on after a hard day at work going to your own frontier to defend a keep//wall that may not even be attacked for a couple of hours ain't exactly fun.
A lot of people would rather race to emain, try and get a group, and go kill stuff. If your in a guild you can go to middie land instead and claim a keep, which can be a lot of fun if a few fg's attack it (and not a zerg).

What annoy's me is when albs are missing two or more keeps in their own frontier and i do a /who emain and get 78 results. This happened yesterday, luckily DK and a few others formed up 3fg and were in the process of taking keeps back when excal was attacked. Hibs still managed to get to the last door though.

It would be nice to play the game like your realm was the most important thing, and defending ur relics//keeps was essential. However a lot of ppl prefer to go emain, kill stuff and have fun.

 

[Aussie-]

make a topic about "fun" and ask ppl to put their second account char into a keep/relic . yeah , that's fun!

aka:

it would be great if taking/defending keeps/relics was actually fun.

Ironheart: You say that 40 mids go and zerg 20 albs.... its the other way round normally.... 20 mids are at amg and 40 albs are there.... the organised albs get together and try and take us down, but thats only about half of them, the otehr half run back to mummy while their friends are killed. If you guys sorted yourselfes out, and Listned to the people who are high realm rank.... maybe things wud be different, bcause u dont get to be a high RR from being a total n00b..... I think that FC are the only guild ive seen beat the AMG Blockade in odin with equal numbers.....because they are organised and know what they are doing..... Keep it up guys, gives us something to do

Regards
Negura

 

[old.chipper]

if u aint played on alb you just dont understand no one beats the alb zerg imagine 200 peeps crammed into a dungeon a small one at that or over 200 ppl at a relic raid now thats uber lag

 

[gwari]

only people i see zerg always lately are hibs and mids, period.

Stick, lvl 50 friar

 

[Cloak_]

And you see this face down on the groud I assume Gwari

 

[old.Nol]

it's all hibs all day long, the fckers have the audacity to run around their realm in groups...it sickens me, right to the pit of my stomach, nay, the very bowels...

[Flimgoblin]

it's not connection lag - a 56k modem will have the same problems as a T1 running DAoC

it's the rendering engine - it renders every last intricate detail on the glowing sword of your opponent - even though he's behind that wall, and even if he wasn't he'd be all of 2 pixels on your screen.

that's the problem...
shrouded isles fixes it... (whether you have to buy it or not I don't know - it might be in with the regular patches)
