Nolby Pride

[old.Verata]

You can hardly call what NP havebeen doing, zerging. They've been running around as 2 FG for the most part and only occasionally hooking up with the main Mid force.

They've been doing a good job and deserve props for it. I've never seen 2 FG from any realm dominate the way they have been the past few days...

 

[old.Aragone]

hmm...

ok stop whining about NP zerging i have never sen more than 2 fg of NP the fact just is that right now they are werry active and they make good grps and they know how to play.

i find NP grps to be the best grps to fight in general they dont run they play smart.
alot of times i have ben in nice hib grps we can take out 2fg of plain albs/mids but when you run into 1 fg NP you get a chalange witch gives me the rush i so much like in this game.

and plz lok at the original post it was a grats to np on their preformance dont turn it into a flame ffs.

cheers NP see you in emain.

everyone zergs once in a while, some more consistently than others.

just gotta admit that NP has skill and leadership.

skill, leadership and insta-stun

(sorry had to have an anti-insta dig! )

Well played need to get to 50 and drag my gank squad out there ...

Fear the Humberton Guard! No Ghost hound is safe!

 

[cougar-]

only thing thats realy dangerous for us in equal numbers imo is c.f groups or wuren and friends with good bards.

and maybe some ppl experience us zergy when they die in 4 sec from stun - ae dmg. but still, seldom over 2 groups.

cheers aragone

thanx for the antiflame backup aragone - it wasnt ment to be that - GRATS NP - u deserve it

This doesnt help our chances

I join the fight to take the keeps and get a small group, we get Crim back, then rest of my group runs off to emain but I stay and try to follow the orders, so I disband from them because they wouldnt.
Lowbie 37 mentalist says in local and cg chat looking for group please or some other polite variation, silence .... may as well be a lvl 1 NS, probably more chance of a group. 10 seconds later a lvl 50 says lfg and bam within a few seconds 'weve got space' chimes in. And no Im not going to spam irritate someone into inviting me to shut me up, I shouldnt have to. Your loss, I can heal, pot/hot just fine now, I can even nuke a lvl 50 for some small amount of damage.
I only had 125rp at the start of the night and I was one of the few people in emain that would get some real benifit from even a small number of rps and I had to do it solo. And I did, I managed to qc mez a red con stealther who miraculously failed to 1 shot me, friendly hero showed up and slammed him, I got a nuke or two in and made 109pts my first ever 'proper' rvr rps. Sad that I had to do it by myself with >30 other hibs about.

 

[old.Laryssa]

The reason why people whine about the NP groups (yeah groups - no zergs) is the inability to do it on their own - simply as that.

NP doing well at organising their ganks squads - /salute !

Guess it's a mix up of discipline and respect to get such groups running - and the whiners do only bring jealousy.

Go and try harder instead of whine here - If I get ganked 10 times a row by them then I'M doing something wrong...


burn the whiner

Very good ( ;

That's too bad. I can imagine when a single group is forming at DL to get some nice rps, they want lvl 45+ in to stand a chance. But when in an army like last night, I don't see a problem with grouping the occasional lowbie.

But you know how people are:
Hmm someone LFG, we have 1 spot... oh he's level 37... rather wait for a lvl 45+ bard, or wait for that guy who LD'd 15 minutes ago, or just let someone else pick him coz I can't be bothered looking him up in this mob. It's not like there's a policy for not grouping lowbies, or some plot to not invite you after you disband from your group to be loyal to the army. I for one saw dozens of peeps LFG, and tbh the group invites were a bit messed up... example: cbh peeps left their groups to claim bolg, and afterwards there was confusion about who'd return to their old group (some had none)... result: several peeps lfg, and several groups keeping spots open for peeps who didn't plan to return or were in other groups etc.

Tip: pm a few peeps and ask em for invite. If you confront someone personally with an invitation request instead of yelling it in general, they're less inclined to ignore you.

Being part of a Zerg is has nothing to do with organisation or skill, they constantly zerged. I havent seen a single NP member not in a zerg this week. Mmmmmmmm....... lets see 10 albs agains 40 mids........... sure took a hell of a lot of skill. They deserve no credit for any good play, as from my point of view there was absolutely none displayed. I would say the albs had more guts for trying against such odds.....

Every time I saw NP, they were with 2 fg. Sometimes other mids with em, often not. 2fg is still 16, not 40. Albs moving in less than 3fg is even more rare than NP moving with more than 2fg though. Ofcourse everyone has a right to his own opinion about NP's skill, but your arguments are imho not true.

 

[Subbiz]

if miss were around more we'd be boned

sometimes other Middie FGs stick to us and follow us around, that I think is the main reason to why some say we zerg.

 

[old.Elfslayer]

maybe I didnt explain myself well enough, I didnt intend to mean that 40 NP were in the zerg, but just that there were 40 mids. Now as this thread was about how well they had done with rp this week. I was just making the point that rp per week mean nothing, and certainly do not point to anyones great skill, regardless of realm.

 

[Tleilax]

I disagree with u elfslayer. If u would group with 2FG for one week, that is 2FG of lvl 50 nnoobs, that have no rvr experience. your wouldnt get that much rps. Its nolby pride all over the list, so they must have been doing ok, and to do ok u need skill.

/em waits for the day that one person in emain = zerg

I remember the days when a zerg crashed my machine, these days it's...

<death message spam>
/cg MID ZERG!!
/cg WHERE!?
/cg TOWER NEAR AMG!!
/cg HOW MANY!?
/cg AT LEAST 7 MAYBE 8
/cg ...
/cg ...
/cg you kidding me...
/cg NO
/cg COME REZ US!
/cg how many?
/cg 40
/cg <radio silence>


P.S. Please note, portions of this story may have been exagerated to make a point..

/salute to the NP crews that kicked my arse so convincingly so many times...

when will people learn to box clever?

 

[old.Elfslayer]

I think camping a wall from 10am -12pm sure isnt skill (timings only from second hand source, so may not be correct) Time played in rvr in a day makes a huge difference. I`m sure if I played all day and night, these targets wouldnt be that hard to acheive.

 

[Lessurl]

I think people are just lazy. It's a lot easier to just yell "Mid zerg at tower!" than actually bother to use a brain cell or 2 and count how many are actually there.

 

[katt!]

mids camp amg, np sit on the hill to the left when facing apk. albs retreat -> np rush and farm rps. great skill.

 

[old.XanateA]

Thing is.

Hibs see only NP with 2 FG. Because we run off from amg after we kill the albs there. We run around in breifine, gorge and emain checking for hibs...
Then we usually come back to AMG to join the mid zerg in killing the albs

 

[hotrat]

Sad as it is to say Nolbypride play good RvR, they also play a lot of rvr and always seem to have a full group at least if//when they come.

Play good + play lots + lots of opposition = RP

 

[PJS]

Thanks Ensceptifica. You'll be on the receiving end of that pm next time.


Little quiz for you Hib soldiers out there.

You're at amg, theres about 30 of you. There are 40 or so albs on the other side. Its a standoff. 1 group of mids comes running in from the side. Do you?

a) Let them come to you, pick them off if they get close and let them run away when they realise they've bit off too much to chew.

b) Put any sense of rational thought about the overall picture of the battlefield on hold and let the thought of easy short term rp obscure the big picture. Ie. half of you charge them.

Ill let all you budding Boneparte's work out which option was chosen and what the consequences were.

Hib

elfslayer, thing is, is someone good at the game its an easy option to say either "u have no irl and is a geek" or "you are in emain constant, im very good and would also get same rps if i did."
Both very lame and last line of defense in this case

mmmmmmmm.......... cannt see a single word I have typed here. Cannt remember typing any one was a "geek" or the fact that "I am very good". Think you are missing the point a lil bit. What I am saying is that rp stats mean nothing realy, it sure doesnt indicate that your are good. What indicates that your good is the actions you take in your fights and the fights you choose. I personaly suck in many fights, and would never be so arrogant as to say such a silly thing. As for defence........... defence against what ? I`m not trying to "defend" anything. Just stating my personal opion. (be it wrong or right).
Anyway I`m not going to repeat myself again, so no more posts for me on this subject

 

[old.Arya]

If you would spent the time you waste here complaining, in building a good group(s) you prolly would have no thing to complain about.......

 

[old.krane]

Hrmm...might go back to excal for a while to check the newborn NP treat..

Sounds interesting..

Grats on the 4 million rps..thats kinda insane

 

[gwal]

I dont get it, how can this be turned into whining - so what if they zerg, not like others arent doing it too - wheres the problem???

There's always people whining, but overall some good compliments made too ( ; Xanatea made a good point too about some seeing em as zerg, some seeing em as 2fg skilled well teaming players.

 

[Zag Barr]

I think they are whining because it's plain annoying.

Last few afternoons I saw many albs stand at TK and stand at TK and still stand at TK, till there were 2 or max. 3 groups gathered, which takes up to 3 ports at this time of the day.

So finally there is a force gathered, buffed, "tactics" explained, some ld, more waiting, more explaining, 40 minutes passed till they set of towards amg and a few seconds later you see death spam.

Next u see 2 FG of NP charging up to TK killing the few survivors and stragglers left - on NP'S heels another 3 FG of mixed mids.

Now most albs die twice like that (without the hint of a chance)and then play alt or take a break, which means you hardly get more than 20 albs in emain the whole afternoon. So the story continues for hours.

In the late afternoon the albs start to meet 3+ FG of Hibs at AMG, which isn't any better and finally in the evening the first time they break thru into Emain.

Now I do know you mids and hibs go thru the same and personally I am not complaining about it, since i still can have some limited fun in the zerg rushs.

Also I know very well there is alternatives, like going to Odin or Hadrians in the hope you meet better odds.

But maybe all you people camping amg consider this:

If you give albs a chance to pass thru AMG in the afternoons, there surely will be more then only 20 (since less log to play alts), thus you have a chance for even more RP's.

You can't really blame the albs for zerging in the evenings, after their experiences the whole afternoon, can you?

sometimes xuthos /y "DC under attack" to stop other mids following us if hes in a bad mood.
