Calo said:Well aslong as narrow minded ppl like you only think that YOUR playstyle is fun.. its no use to actually discuss something. There are ppl who play this game just.. to fucking play the game, they gather friends, they set a grp up and they go out, and kill ppl (what else? pm everyone to see what imaginary rules there are?).
Irvr is fun for that, you port, you kill.. easy, fun, good timespending.
Sure it might be fun to make a set grp then etc, but perhaps they are having fun without it.

I remember Icebreaker whining like a maniac when the group of albs did it, but now when hibs are doing it it's totally ok
Shame on the albs who ac'ed the relics in the first place, but shame on hibs as well, though I could see it coming after the last three(?) MRE's which "failed" at getting the relic back.

Shike said:and if your way of playing the game would be considered fun, perhaps there would be more than 850 ppl online right now? Thats totals online on the cluster right now, closing in on primetime.
If the bridgecampingbrigades etc has nothing at all to zerg down since nobody ever come anymore, who will they kill? Each others? Face it, that bridgecampingbrigade aint going anywhere, since they are lazy ppl who just cant be arsed to even take a boat that take 5min tops, they cant be arsed to even look for ppl to group with and make a proper group with, they cant be arsed to do fucking anything at all but stand there like complete and utter idiots waiting for someone to pop so they can kill it. THAT attitude is what is killing the RvR on cluster more than anything. Not people who proactively try to create groups that roam and RvR instead of sitting on their fat asses all day long in hopes for some lousy rotten RPs. What do this bridgecampingbrigades do during iRvR then? Yes, if its in alb for example, albs camp.. their own fucking bridge ffs. IF they are strong enough (as in, 3-4FGs totals with pugroglings) they move towards the other keep, if lucky, they find a group to splatter allover the place on the way. Some random stealthers will add into the great epic fight aswell and make some holy RPs too. Good for them, what then follows is an endless repeating of the scenario above. I'm sure it is very very fun, it actually even sounds quite challenging!. What the other side does during this is, they do the very exact same thing usually, pugroglings gather up somewhere, if its in alb they really like that tower near the villa, there some casters will camp and add on anything that doesnt belong to their realm, if too many they will run back to their own tower and hide inthere until its safe to roam around ~1500 units away from the tower, some random stealthers will ofc also roam this tiny space and add on everything in their quest for the holy RP's and thats good for them. IF they manage to put up a proper force with proper pugroglings they might even reach the bridge! VICTORY! Then CTB will follow for a while and thats also very fun and challenging actually. (CTB is ofc Capture The Bridge). Random stealthers will pop in that area aswell and leech off for their Holy RP's ofc and thats damn good for them. Sometimes some narrowminded people looking for a fight will end up in the middle of this mess and somehow, the group of pugroglings will attack the narrowminded stupid damned people that dare come into their territory and the narrowminded people usually end up quite dead, sometimes its a quite close fight 8vs40 and if those narrowminded people are narrowminded enough! VICTORY!, The pugroglings mutter overpowered and whine about bainshees and other stupid overpowered things and after alittle while, the pugroglings go on in their quest for the holy RP's and the scenario just keeps on rolling on.
I MEAN, WHO THE FUCK WOULDNT CONSIDER THIS EXCELLENT FORM OF RVR TO BE FUCKING FUN!? EVEN HILARIOUS AND EXTREMELY CHALLENGING!? It brings people together so they can chitchat, it brings people together so they together, as one, can pursuit their chase for the holy RP's and together become stronger and wiser.
Ya, iRvR rox meights.. it truly does. FGrvr is for pussies and narrowminded people, bridgecampingbrigades rules and set a good example of how to play the game imo. True challenge and a really fun game. Running back and forth, with no tactics, no proper setup, buffbots as healing. And btw, why the fuck do people roll like.. clerics and shit? Other than to use as DIbots?!, its lame to play a groupchar for the better of the realm and to actually make more difference than an elite caster that can pwn and make good Holy RP's in a zerg.
(ok ok, I know im overdoing it a tad here but.. look around, is things so very different from what I describe? Really? Population have dropped to silly low amounts, the guildgroups are running away like if cluster was clouded in plague, solostealthers just leave the arena completely not to return, soloplayers overall does the same, what is left is a few hardheaded guildgroups and some setgroups, trying to have some fun while possible.)
Make groups for gods sake, join guilds and make them stronger, roll supportclasses instead of that cool laiftapper that has the whole package, you as an individual do not matter at all, not to your realm and not to anyone else, sure you may think its fun to run around leeching with a zerg but cmon, who are you gonna leech off when every single roamer has left the building? Do like CM and pve guards all day long? Seriosly, you lot have to see the problem here. If you feel you cannot compete with one FG vs a welltrimmed killingmachine, bring 2 ffs. Just get that fat ass moving away from a fucking bridge at least. Im damn sure any GG rather fight 2FGs with lower experienced players rather than head to a bridge to get zerged to bits by 40 casters camping a bridge. Start somewhere at least.
Most of you casuals out there will probably just think im grumpy etc but I dont really care, if even just one of you lot out there understand wtf im saying, then im happy. Cluster is heading in a very very bad direction atm and I think people should and at least try to make a change for the better and do something.

Do you have anything more than an oppinion that this would be the `fault` of the people with a different play style than yours ?
Who is to say that it is not YOUR playing style that drives people away from the server / game ?
Ever thought about the option that it is the set groups (maybe 10% of the population) that might destroy the game for the casual players (70+% of the population) and it`s the `leet` who drive the casuals away from the server ?
>>they cant be arsed to even look for ppl to group with and make a proper group with,
once again, who says that making a `proper` group is the standard to which all should comply ? i make my groups based upon having a minumun survivabily (some healing) and include as much of the people i like who want to participate in rvr, not nesc 8 in number (can be more, can be less)
>>they cant be arsed to do fucking anything at all but stand there like complete and utter idiots waiting for someone to pop so they can kill it.
have you considered the option it is the set groups who destroyed every other option for these people, except to get killed like a chicken once they leave the safety of the bridge / tower / keep area ?
>>THAT attitude is what is killing the RvR on cluster more than anything. Not people who proactively try to create groups that roam and RvR instead of sitting on their fat asses all day long in hopes for some lousy rotten RPs.
according to me it is the mentallity of the set fg`s who expect everyone to roam and run as 8 people fg (who they can ofcourse beat without to much trouble) who destroy the server tbh. Also their constant whining over any fight that ain`t 8 vs 8 (in which they have a huge advantage) and as unballanced as it might come (set high rr fg vs pug in rogs is NOT a fair fight).
This Vocal minority of set fg runners makes me wanne puke tbh.

a very one sided and limited view at best if i might say.

who are you to say that`s wrong and what the `only` good way is ?

And i consider the set fg on TS with their `i am hollier than thou` attitude the most desctructive thing to the overal game experience for the MAJORITY of players. People who try to maximize EVERY paramater/advantage possible (coms, gear, RR, ml`s, classes in the group, ...) against their opponent to create a totally unfair fight (even if 8 vs 8) and feel the need to insult you at every whim if you use the one paramater (numbers) to EVEN the score are just sick.

because everyoby wants to be a god, not a servant in his own mind.
>>(ok ok, I know im overdoing it a tad here but.. look around, is things so very different from what I describe? Really?
it`s a view
>Population have dropped to silly low amounts,
i can see 100 reasons for that, your view is one that doesn`t feature high on my list.
>the guildgroups are running away like if cluster was clouded in plague,
maybe after they driven of 70% of the casual players with their unforgiving playstyle ?
>> what is left is a few hardheaded guildgroups and some setgroups, trying to have some fun while possible.)
i could interpret this as a sign you actually agree with me on my points.
>Make groups for gods sake, join guilds and make them stronger, roll supportclasses instead of that cool laiftapper that has the whole package, you as an individual do not matter at all, not to your realm and not to anyone else, sure you may think its fun to run around leeching with a zerg but cmon, who are you gonna leech off when every single roamer has left the building?
I hope that when the last of the `i am holier than thou` brigade has left the building, the casuals might start playing again
>>If you feel you cannot compete with one FG vs a welltrimmed killingmachine, bring 2 ffs.
that has always been my moto
>> Just get that fat ass moving away from a fucking bridge at least. Im damn sure any GG rather fight 2FGs with lower experienced players rather than head to a bridge to get zerged to bits by 40 casters camping a bridge. Start somewhere at least.
as a set fg player, you have the choise to try different things and still succeed. as a casual player there are few things one can do that are not mandatory suicide.
>>Most of you casuals out there will probably just think im grumpy etc but I dont really care, if even just one of you lot out there understand wtf im saying, then im happy.
a) few casuals actually know about the existence of FH, so you are preaching to the wrong people here.
b) i think i understand most of your points, i just happen not to agree on a lot of them.
i kinda strongly dislike the hyper competitive nature of the set fg`s and i like the `easy going` attitude that exists in the groups i run with.

Sharkith said:with due respect your reply makes little or no sense.
damn, and i take all this time to write such a reply
>>All you have done is disagree without really providing an alternative picture. If you have a point you ought to make it maybe then things can move on a bit.
ok, i`ll try to make a shortened version of it.
As far as i am concernedd, everyone can play the game the way they like, as long as they :
a) stay polite.
b) stop the constant whining over the fact that people will violate other peoples PERSONAL code.
c) Don`t do anything against the rules given by GOA and MYTHIC.
that`s mandatory imho.
having you own `code` is not wrong, but forcing other people to play according to it is selfish and absurd imho.
>>I like Shike's post it is passionate and uncompromising ...
a very nice post indeed, well writen, wel constructed, well voiced, but conflicting with my view and unrealistic imho...
>>all we got from you is the equivalent of a damp squib.
if only i knew what a squib was :/
>>So show people a bit of respect and sit down and tell us how you see it.
I think most people will agree, even from the strict solo and set fg scene, there are a lot worse people out there than me when it comes to showing people respect.
>>I cannot see how you can back any of your counter claims right now.
just like the post i replied to, it contains views, not facts. no way to back views are they are personal by default. this counts for me, the post i replied to, and you.
i have no claim whatsoever to say my view is THE view. i am just trying to present a different view.

Sorry i'd actually assumed my entirely factual post would get a fair response. Since being nice isn't cutting it my last reply in this thread will be : "Behave like an arsehole you'll get fucked like one".

Shike said:Muylatrix, it is not in any way unrealistic to play the game different from a FPS with FFA enabled mate. Thats the way the bridgebrigades actually play it, its like having quake on one screen and irc on the other, FFA and chat on irc. Bridgezerging and chat on /gu. Same thing really. :/
Muppet said:You just sketched a classic example of a public quake/enemy territory/fear/{insert FPS game name} server
Yes that is the way it goes, because it is probably the way people want to play.
Now having a look at what is fg vs fg -
This is what FPS-clans do in a competitive environment, as in clan wars/cup wars/(nations cup), playing 6 vs 6, 8 vs 8, 10 vs 10 for a cupwar/(nations cup)/clanwar BUT with certain rules (server settings, client settings) .....if people choose not to play because of these rules (which is imho entirely up to them) they will not participate in this setup.
So my point here is, both scenarios are similar to FPS games scenarios. The only difference is, GOA can make game rules in this game, as far as Im concerned noone else can for this game. Since there arent any official rules made by GOA for 8 vs 8 ect. kind of setups, people will try make rules themselves, but that doesnt mean everyone plays by them...
