Lo!

I heard they added a new slash command to alb and mid realm. It's called /invite. Its very usefull when u try to put a Group (this new term came with the command) together.
Seriously now...Why the heck dont u guys ever run in a group? There are 3 groups around in rvr that arent hib and thats Mael, PE and a random Brite twf3 + banelord OP grp :) THe rest are soloers and ofc the famous alb zerg™. on the other hand, the realm with no population whatsoever somehow manages to run aprox 10 regular guild grp's. Wouldn't it be nice to run around hadrians meeting a fg every few minutes and having nice fights? Would be less 'adding' bullpoo aswell. Wont even start with that nonsense. Anyhow, u got uber numbers, just invite some people and run as a grp, whats holding u back? Or u really happy logging out with 10 rp's after 3 hours of rvr? So maybe u'll get ganked by a hib grp but there are always grps like mine with highest rr being 6 which u can beat np. Would bring some fun back to this 'oh no, mael' 'oh no, PE' and 'oh no, zerg' game. And maybe (just maybe) if u had some fg's running around, maybe u wouldnt have to be hugging the damn beno wall all the time. There is a whole area after u cross the bridge. Seriously. Ask Xrystofer, he's been there \\o
Just to give u something to think about...now flame me away _o/

PS: We will kill u every single time Xry, sorry about that :)

oO so that is how the hibs get the 1fg opted+stealther adds at 10:30am often? Always wondered :p

Problem with alb is utility. Ours is spread thin and you need people to play really well to get a chance of a victory against enemy opted group. I would love to be able to log on and go "Ok i need 2druids, a bard and bg warden and im set" instead it log on and go "I need 2 clerics, 1 sorc(lack of good active ones), 1 theurg(lack of good active ones), 1bg friar/pally (at least- lack of them currently) in order to just think about starting the group. You aint underpopulated any more, and the fact that your key abilities are spread into a smaller number makes it easier to get group up initially (most people roll them)

Oh by the way... i often see hibs running 1-3fg when there only 5-8 people in all of hadrians. Now if these are random people including stealthers whtat good is inviting them?

I heard hib got a new slash command too, its '/pretentious_wanker'. You log into daoc, type it and it tells you what to post on FH.

What the heck are you talking about anyway? Hib is hardly the realm with "no population", get over yourself. :rolleyes:

Hib is no more underpopulated but on par.
Indeed we do have "no" (aye like we got millions of active good bards and druids, not) problems putting up a somehow "opted" group (but mid don't hold this excuse too) class wise.
Yes Tad got a point altho cause excuse of no good xy class holds no ground, no1 born teacher playing anything imo so grab ppl and try give em time to improve if u wanna head out fg, ofc it's easier to yell "Who's got bg?" and try and leech some rps (generally speaking) but surely it ain't climax of fun ^^

Just to make something clear for the ppl who are apparently 'slower' (Belomar): What i meant was u have more people overall (or same amount if we exxagarate) but u dont seem to rvr, whatever reasons u may have.

"Exaggerate"? Who's the slow person here anyway? Take a fresh look at the roll of honour before you comment again. According to this, Hibernia currently has 988 active characters, whereas Midgard has 960.

Now crawl back to the hole you came from.

Well said. Very very well said. Yes, I'm being serious. Incase there are people here who still thinks that every word spoken on FH is soaked sarcasm.

so many alb solo'rs because we cant get decent grps untill evening/late afternoon.

and many albs (xrysto + me + many many many others) prefere to solo/duo than run around zerging and adding the fuck out of what ever moves

respect to the groups out there that dont add (maby 1 or 2 tops)

Thats because Hibs discovered rvr 3 years latter than the other realms. Mids and Albs got bored of group, we are in the face of trying our chances solo/zerg rather than zerg/zerg like Hibs. I wonder why you do this question tbh, did you got bored killing soloers/duos with your 2 fgs, no challenge right? Oh you sould just blame your selfs if you ask me, after all Druim Ligen wasnt that far from Emain in OF.

You gotta check your Record Player imo, cause it's clearly time to change it :eek7:

Hibs like to keep those tapes for posterity so that they can point to them and say "look, we were underpopulated in the Old Frontiers, that gives us the right to zerg now" for ever after. :D

hmm:) personally think we mids still are trying get toa done.
getting critical mass for many encounters/artifacts, and we need call all mids to arms, comparing hibs who just log animist and make it :)

guess hibs have now old alb problem (didnt know route to hadrian), one peep in group know emain well, but cannot run there if porting is down.
here hibs need all 8, hibs dont look groupmember via class, its skill to know zone ;)
thou mythic added hibs minimap, + green dots each groupmember so dont get lost so easily :D

history and my own personal experience shows this:

Alb generally have a very hard time to put a good group together due to certain things meanwhile hibs come out on top regarding groupcreation.

Examples:

Hibb.. druid, druid, warden, bard, add in DPS and you have a fully functional grp.

Midd.. healer, healer, shaman, skald, add in DPS and you also have a fully functional grp, only problem is that healers need to specc differently to fulfill some basic requirements. Makes them ybergood, but also makes it trickyer to build random groups and also regular set grps.

Alb.. Sorc, cleric, cleric, paladin, minstrel, add in DPS and you can make some runs.. but, history also shows that Albion traditionally have a serious lack of clerics, and that added to the weird albbuilds on characters makes it even worse.

Albs set fullgroup is extremely strong if you put right classes together, but this is also a curse and makes life for PuGs hell and not much fun either since it need to be played good to work, and you also need ML's or it will not work out well at all. This in its turn makes it easy to sneak in on the path of the stealthers and just glide around... which probably is a large reason why albs stealtherpopulation is so crazy in numbers.

Add in the lack of friarresists vs the most common damagetypes from both hib and mid and you have another serious problem. (cold and heat), albs also have a DPSproblem imo if running with minstrel if you do a comparison vs a DPSheavy mid or hibbgrps.

Anyhows, Mythic is totally fucking blind and cant see that alb actually could use a slight revamp to make life easier for the randoms. (which are the ones that suffer from the traditional albproblems, set grps are fine)

The sooner people stop worrying about forming the perfect group, the sooner RVR will get back to the way it was in the good "uncomplicated" old days.

Ive been running with some peculiar group set ups the last couple of weeks, with many classes that are never given a chance to group and have to say we have had some real successes!! (and a good few failures) but most importantly, some real laughs along the way.

Sometimes the challenge in group RVR isnt winning the fight, it's having a good go and trying to take a few of the enemies down, before your wiped. I would love to see a lot more players building random groups and utilising lots of different classes, including some of the lower realm rank players.

Problem is there a good portion of the rvr population (RvR guilds) that care only about winning the fights. They say it about "fair" fights but that bollocks as there really isnt such a thing. Especially at the times when alot of them run.


The old days of PuG groups were great, however I actually was in a PuG group last night and made 18k in 2hr's. Had some nice 1fg fights (won and lost) was involved in some zergy fights (2-4fg of all realms) and then added on some fights (cant control all of group and when they commited so are you. Also revenge on groups that added on us in good old GG style :p )

Must say, Brites group though high RR aint totally opted to the max and give a bloody great fight. I think when our groups met just about everyone died at least once from both groups. 5-10minute battle that. Then some hibs came along and finished everyone off (apart from me, i hid behind tree and monster rezzed some people for a laugh at that point :D )
