Is Zerging really that bad?

Mythic should implement collision with all enemies, not realmmates, that would rock IMO.

Before anyone says it can't be done, I'll say, "try Planetside then". In Planetside though, you got collision with your teammates too, which should be left out in DAoC..

Planetside was designed with collision from the outset, daoc was not. Collision wouldn't work well in daoc.

Why wouldn't it work well in DAoC ??
I can't see a reason why it should or could be a problem, rather an enhancement to gameplay IMO.
I said "no friendly collision", so the only ones standing in your way would be people you want to kill anyway.

its supposed to be fun

100 vs 100 can be fun once in a month sure. not every fucking day !

I like fights as long as numbers are even. Whether it is 1fg vs 1fg or 2fg vs 2fg or 5fg vs 5fg doesnt matter. The problem is that apart from 1fg vs 1fg encounters you rarely have even numbers.

Back in the day when 50's were rare, Everyone zerged. Poeple ran around with loads of other poeple smashing anything that moved. Hibs did it, Albs did it, Mids did it. Camping MG's Large battles in bowl in hib, Just genral carnage all over the place. Times were good....

Now that some have higher realm ranks they want to try and go at fg v fg, Pit there skills against the next fg to come there way. Who has the best mez, Who can get who's healer down first, Who has the best control 8 v 8.... But this isn't always posible.

Poeple will always zerg, Just as much as poeple whining about poeple zerging. Poeple will always try to have fg v fg and some will whine when they get zerged. Zergers riun the game for fgs, fgs whines riun the game for zergers. My adive to you and anyone else, Play the game how you want. Pay little or no attention to barryswhine and have fun. Coz at the end of the day, If its not fun, why pay for it ?....

I think it would be quite fun to hold a mass battle planned event.

Probably crash the server like but image 20FG facing each other across the bowl in emain, suddenly 1 side charges, trembuchet's fire, arrows fly, casters....well cast.

Not sure if this has been tried before, it normally starts with a CS or RR. I've certainly never been to a planned event.

if ethier side brings 20fgs hibs can't compete unless they don't have a keep to hide in

even 10FGs is a strong maybe

give us a few hours to form up at dagda on primetime and we might have it for RvR
