Griefers...

[old.chesnor]

I got killed today by a very purple archer in Middy frontier with my poor weak 20th Healer. Now, I know it's war yadda yadda and we should expect to die in the frontiers yadda yadda. But this isn't a post whining about getting killed in the frontiers....

I would just like to know what kind of a person levels a char to 50, then parks it outside a newbie hunting ground grief killing very grey players. It seems kinda perverse to me that someone would spend that much effort and pain levelling a char, never to pit it against a worthy adversary (I was 1 hit killed). Now, I've RvRed and I've killed greys, I never had any qualms about doing this, but I never have and never will actively hunt grey cons. Could someone who does this please explain their motivation...


PS Can't wait for PvP, because I suspect the griefers will all fux0r off there HUZZAH!!

Are you back as a healer in midgard excalibur?

 

[Armolas]

Erm they are probably killing you in order to wake up the high levels or a game of hide and seek. Or at least thats usually the case.

 

[Novamir]

isnt purp to you like, level 30 ?

also, stealthers do grief kill, they however mostly realm kill to get RPs

 

[old.Tzeentch]

just cause someone is purple to you, it does not mean you are grey to them.

Was that Cancer who spent ages xp killing and rez killing.

And he was only xp killing because I tried an experiment after running round looking for him, I hit a grey northern ettin and suddently I began to get hit with a bow.

He took out a lowbie group about 3 or 4 times whilst I was there always waiting till they were rezzed and xping again.

Yeah there are calls of it's only a game and if you xp in the frontiers you deserver it, which is fair enough, which is why I patrol the lowbie areas in the frontiers a bit and when I hit 50 I will be there almost all the time.

But people like cancer, what pleasure do you get out of it? Were you bullied by the big kids in scholl and want revenge ;-P

Personally if I see a grey whilst in the opposing frontiers I will probably leave it as I get pleasure from winning a fair fight, not ganking..

And I also know cancer wasn't drawing out high lvlv otherwise he wouldn't have trid to xp kill me and would have taken me whilst I was standing in the middle of his hunting grounds (he did draw out the high lvls on their way to defend the relic, but he continued to xp kill the lowbie group...)

Sorry to be the one to tell you, but if you can't handle getting killed by a purple in the frontier I think it's time you gave up on daoc.

[old.Im pac man!!]

Some ppl probably make chars to kill everything in sight and to get a name for themselves. Sometimes knowing they are hated by ppl in other realms give them some pleasure. Or he may have wanted the easy rps you were providing by staying around even after he repeated the attacks.

 

[Aeiedil]

When i go to yggdra etc there are normally only green\gray, but after I kill a few people that always changes and so i kill a few easy 1-shots and sit and wait for the fun to begin

 

[old.chesnor]

Odies: I'm not whining about getting killed in the frontiers mate, you should read my orignal post....

And I am noy buying this 'it gets the high levels out' BS. Surely if you want to kill high level opponents, you would hang around high level xp spots, no?

Still waiting...

 

[c0ngo]

What else are archers going 2 do ?

They're usually solo RvR and there's loads of classes they can't kill 1v1 at the same lvl.

They can w8 around for casters I spose.

But thought they all hunted lower lvls, casters or other archers.

 

[Aeiedil]

Chesnor, honestly thats why i do it, and usually after 1 or 2 kills i get my higher levels to play with anyway if you dont wanna die to players then stay in your realm

 

[old.Odies]

Chesnor

No, of course you aren't whining, you are just informing us all that an all powerful peverted enemy grief player killed your poor defenseless low level (prolly female) healer instead of leaving him (prolly her) alone, while angrily dismissing other peoples attempts to clarify the situation for you as bullshit.

YOU ARE WHINING, YOU ARE A PUNK, GET OVER IT.

Clear enough?

- Odies

 

[old.chesnor]

Odies, you make me laugh, are you a teenager ?

Let me clarify this one last time. I'm not whining about getting killed by a purple in the frontiers. Hell, if I came here whining about that these boards would be awash with threads from me on this very subject.

I've been killed a plethora of times by purples, I expect it when I xp in the frontiers. I was just trying to understand the motivation for the high level players that do this, thats all.

And surely if you want to kill high levels, you would camp the bone-eaters, gobors, fins, etc..etc.. i.e. all the high lvl xp sweet spots in the frontiers. Why camp the lvl20 mobs ???? Please do tell.

Oh, and btw, my Healer is not female, why should you think that ?

Still waiting....

 

[old.Odies]

Judging by your obvious bias attitude and rude language towards high lvls hunting in the frontier it's virtually impossible to look at your posts as anything but whining.

Oh and the teenager bit was ace, pure class.

- Odies

 

[daarken]

If the higher lvls main intention is to kill loads of easy lowbies to draw out higher lvl's...why is they run like buggery when the high lvl's come after them?
They're only after easy rp's, I'd prefer it if they were more honest about it.

 

[old.chesnor]

Thankyou Daarken, I think we are getting close to the truth now

And Odies, exaclty what 'rude language towards high lvls' did I use ? I don't believe I have judged them too harshly just yet, and havn't actually descended into abuse or rudeness. And if you acuse me of bias towards players whose primary motivation is to gank greys for 1RP per kill, then yes I guess I am bias

You're not an archer/assassin by any chance are you Odies ?

 

[Aeiedil]

lol Daarken, i get less rps from around 50 lowbie kills as i do from one decent mage kill why would i hunt them for rp, its just not worth it, faster to suicide on a mage and run back for about 600+ and i dont run when the high levels come, i sit and wait for one that i want to fight, because thats what my class is best at, and when i have that person alone i go for the kill of course against skalds i usually die heh

 

[-Light-]

Well to be honest with you I kill anyone or anything i can get my hands on in RvR!

There is motive behind it tho

I find if I kill a grey in RvR and he does not release people always seem to come up to it and stare probably talking, even if they are not healers who are gonna res him/her

Gives me the perfect opportunity to Perf them

Cannot count the amount of times I have done that

Its the old baiting tool

 

[-Wedge-]

Well, my gray killing adventures in Yggdra are because of the same reason that Aeiedil says... Get out the high levels..

Although, I must admit, though its pretty lame , I always get a smile on my face after killing 8 gray/greens ...

 

[old.Tzeentch]

I'm probably blue or green to a level 50.. but I have killed a few, or assisted greatly in their demise... my mezz might get resisted a lot, but the times it does work, you can end up dead very soon.

I killed Odies the other day with my AE DoT, along with a few other purples...

You see, just because they are purple to you, they might only JUST be purple, and you cannot check by /who <playername> since they are not in your realm... so who wants to risk being ganked by 8 greys?

We have all managed to kill a few BAF purple mobs in PvE before, so it is also possible in RvR.

 

[old.Odies]

And if you acuse me of bias towards players whose primary motivation is to gank greys for 1RP per kill, then yes I guess I am bias

If you were to look up whining in websters, this would be the textbook definition.

Like Aeie, I kill greys in the frontiers to pull the high levels. Works really well at Uppland due to the proximity of the telepad. Kill a few greys and loads of nice blues and yellows come streaming out.
The other spot I favour is Collory which is a high level xp spot. I kill any greys that are there too (they're hibs after all), but the main motivation is the large number of green+ rangers and casters you get xping there.

As for 1RP per kill, if a grey is worth less than about 20-30 RP I don't bother killing them more than once. However some greys give 50+ RP which for the minimal effort to kill them is pretty good. Greens and blues are even better. BTW just to let you know you can be blue to someone who is purple to you, don't be so quick to assume grey.

 

[old.chesnor]

Personally I think archers should be nerfed. I think they should remove the stealth line, and add a new line called GriefersBane. This will auto-train from level 5, and a large glowing arrow will appear above the archers head visible for miles around. All bows should be replaced with toy plastic ones, and the only arrows available should be the ones with suckers on the end we had when we were kids.

 

[old.Odies]

Your two choices are, create an archer yourself or get the fuck out of Dodge. As an added bonus both of the above mentioned options have the benefit of putting your whining to rest.

Me.

 

[old.Vengance]

lol lamer

 

[old.chesnor]

Yeah Odies and Odysseus have confirmed my attitude towards archers. You get nerfed pretty hard in the next few patches lads. Perhaps killing greys is all you will be capable of then

No you are just a lamer xp killing and fresh rezzed killing griefer. Period.

Can Chesnor actually do anything else than whine about archers?
