Here we go..
Hum.
Variety is important.
Most of my RP's came from this new current fotm trend of being l33t and running FG, simply to be l33t, except, back then, we did it because we didn't have patience to get 2fg going and running together, and it was fun.
Having said that.. considering I've been running in an 8man group for virtually 80% of all my realm points, easily over the past 10months or so.. I now enjoy a bit of 'zerging', as you guys call it.
Contrary to popular whines, I don't do this for the realm points, I do it 'cus it's a change from instead of 8v8, we can now do things like.. 16 v 16/24 or 16 v 16 + add's constantly all the way through the fight.
It's different, it has different problems and challenges to face.
I love how people are so quick to hop on to this relatively new bandwagon of going 1fg, and being so l33t as not to add.
Welcome to the game I've been playing for the past year.. LA/AR/VGN, I've ran virtually all the time in these guilds as one FG, sometimes 2fg sure, but does the 10% of the time I took along another group instantly cancel the other 90% of the time out ?
And NOW you guys come on to the FG train, and tell me not to zerg..
Let me refresh your memories: There was only a handful of groups out there running FG from mid, even less (close to zero) from alb, and most fg runners were from hib. No, I'm not even talking about pre SC where hibs were incredibly strong as the only realm with end regen, and mezz was fantastic. I could say that only within the past 2 months has FG combat become so popular, and I've a feeling it is probably because of the desire to be 'l33t' and prove you're just as good, to stand up the classics, LA, Nolby, or VGN.
Now you have this trend of everyone wanting to run FG's, and you're telling me.. us.. how to RvR? Telling us what FG combat means, and what it is?
I'm willing to bet I was running FGs out of ligen, while you were trying to get that last class for your group, so you could RvR.
Lacking that cleric? Taking that friar instead? No mend healer?
Sorry, but I've yet to recognise someone who was fighting against me when we did FG combat, telling me not to 'zerg', and that I should do FG combat.
Funnily enough, I get the suspicion that most whining at us now, were probably just part of the generic zerg us FGs back then hated, and always, even though we had not agreed on it beforehand, killed the zerg first if they stumbled upon us, before turning to each other.
I think I can have a change, 2fg that I lead, hunting down zergs, is pretty fun. You can get battles that last in excess of ten minutes, you can die several times, come back into the fight again, it's just a lot more epic.
FC come into the gorge or the most common routes into emain, get hit by one FG of hibs, and they do well, but then another group comes along and they're like 'FFS adders'.. well, hello there.. you might as well just stand outside ligen and achieve the same effect.
Seriously, there are very few people I'd change my gameplan and evening for, if they had asked me to stop running 2fg, I would have.
As much as my guild and other people dislike Nolby, I have respect for them, and admire them in some ways, if Xanatea was to ask me to stop running 2fg's, so we could do FG combat someplace, I'd agree, simply because these guys are the 'auld enemy', and I owe them a good fight time to time.
I do not owe anything to the generic zerg, that zerg is the explicit purpose of my 2fg, to take 'em out. I'll find out where they're killing, which way they were headed, try and figure out their movements, then hit them hard, trying to take 'em out, or die in the attempt. I do not seek single groups to 'wtfpwn' with superior numbers, but it's not as if it's in any one persons power to do anything when 16 people meet 8.
In short:
Please dont lecture me on running fg combat, when most of you are actually relative newb's to the entire fg 'scene', one I've been a part of for the past 10 months.
I'm enjoying this change from fg combat, it presents another side to daoc rvr, one which I previously never knew existed.
It's not about RPs, as anyone who loves RvR will tell you.
Nerf savages.
