hard to compete?

[scorge]

I resubed and upgraded some of my acccounts for LOTM. I must admit i havent really played on the cluster for a while, But i always upgrade my accounts when a new expansion comes out and give it a go regardless

I didn't upgrade my BB account though, its my BB account and frankly all it does is sit as snowdonia and look at the wall, thought it was a waste of an expansion key.

the last few days i havent even logged the BB IN, after all all i am doing is getting my various toons down to the Lab for a look around and some fun.

I know its zergy in the Lab and probably a little bit of lag as well, but i find it very hard to compete with other players without my BB. I dont cast fast enough and i dont have as much HP to make the fights seem soem what more exciting.

The guild has taken a bit of a bashing and so not many people in there, most of the time, well in fact all of the time so far i have been solo in labby, which doesn't help

Without a BB (and solo) is there much point in playing in RvR zones? I think BB's took a little bit of fun out of the game.

On a side note i usually get excited about new expansions, this is the first one where it doesnt seem have that excitement Think it is because it is solely in an RVR zone and its a lot more hardwork just to explore without getting ganked every 3 meteres Part of me thinks i hae just paid XXX just to see the HUB

I have the same problem, that's why I mostly rvr in NF, or go to the labyrith with my heretic that has self buffs.

depends what class you are and what your against - ive been soloing on my champ abit without buffs and with - quite a big difference but i can still compete with alot of classes

if it comes down to it you can use alchemy potion buffs and charges for buffs

I found that you had to hang around with other groups to get in, if solo. There's just too many stealthers about for a soloer to get even as far as the Hub most of the time.

At the current time, forget 1 vs 1 fights and the Labyrinth.

Well, if you plan on playing without a bb, you should really make a template specially for that.

Meaning that you have items in the template that lets you do the most important buffs on yourself. With 25% buffbonus switchable items for the buffing. And with all kind of pots you can get your hand on, maybe...that might work abit anyway, but in the end you probably need a bb this day of age.

BBs were crap to start with, Mythic relieze that now (i.e no BBs in classic, WAR, etc), but its to late to reverse the process. So not much to do about it but let it run its course.

Hey Scorge,

I dont mean to be harsh in any way, but normally i tell ppl from our guild, that the downside of a "BB account" is that you treat it as a "BB" account.

On my 2 accounts, i have a BB on each, a pom bot on each, a tank on each (warr+thane) so they are totally compatable. Maybe it is because i only play one realm and maybe because i have been playing since beta, so i have had time enough. Another reason for doing this is, if you want to test out all chars on a realm, have different specs on some types of char, and have bb's then 10 slots may not be enough.

If you want to be sure to have buffs, in RvR as in PvE, get your own bb upgraded Account/+25% healing + 25% buffs, casting speed etc. Then you are fine, no more waste of time waiting and begging for buffs etc. Some players are willing to buff others, others are not. First priority for many is like you say guild members and then realm mates. Same on Alb i guess as on Mid.

Please do not be offended by my post, it is in no way my meaning to flame you.

Hope you will have fun ingame.

Best regards

Getting in is no problem, just stick your buffbot with DI on stick to you, has worked on multiple occasions for me ^^

I find it so damn funny when stealthers look for good "1v1" fights between Crau and LotM entrance, but DI, buffshears and bombers fix that quite fast. Never did attack soloers when with Ani+bot, but well, if they attack me

Btw Vonwar, my BB account always gets the upgrades, cause it's like a cute sticky-girl you take everywhere ^^ Always need her to farm in the new expansions =)

You do know there is a "backdoor" entance to labby dont you?

Not everyone likes to use it, many prefer the front. Some don't mind and will use either.

Where? ^^ I hate running to the front door =)

You do know that the enemies hide in groups, stealthed, between the entrances and the hub, INSIDE the labyrinth ?

It's not usually too hard to get to either of the entrances to the Labyrinth on the surface, as there are fewer chokepoints than in the Labyrinth.

Or is there another way from the Albion entrances into the deeper Labyrinth without going through the chokepoints ?

and it takes you in.... at the top of the stairs leading to the hub.

In 1.87 there's a third entrance which takes you deep into the labyrinth, but for now you _have_ to go through the hub to get anywhere.

Tip for doing this: activate an obelisk somewhere, sprint to the hub and port to it.

After a few times you'll manage it before your pvp immunity expires

Hmm,

Wir sind da ganz einig, schön zu sehen.

And nice to see that others shear my view, thx Liloe

I'd love to see the classic anti-buffbot stuff on regular servers (along with a big fat vampiir nerf of course )

That or just half the effects that stats over 200 give you.

The only problem with this is that _everyone_ who ever gets buffed feels a nerf, despite it being global
