NP on Prydwen

[Generic Poster]

Not much longer before Nolby Pride hit the RvR scene. Given the amount of time they have and RvR experience, do you think it'll make a difference for Hibernians?

I'd rather see some more frontier action in Alb/Mid, anything that's not Emain. The most hibs seem to do, is send 5 groups to capture Beno, suicide on Eras, and run into DF before it closes

At least Mids offer some variety by holding Renaris for the night.


Thirty+ determined players can make a difference for Hibernia, personally I hope it's for the better. Hibernians might not be too pleased(looks at the hippies who switched to Hib), but it will add something new.

If it's a zerg they're after, they'll get zerged for sure. Prydwen players were zerging before lv1!


P.S. some rumour about sotl migrating to Hib/Ex, not sure if it's true or not. If it is, probably just a coincidence.

 

[Artemls]

Some SotL play Hib/Excal and some play Mid/Excal. Just need a change from Albion. Hope we be back in a few weeks but you never know.

NP coming RvR?Good,need more hibbies to kill

 

[old.Lianuchta]

They'll probably bolt to Camnlann on Tuesday, so I doubt they'd make much difference.

 

[Coren]

Think it'll have more impact on Mids/Albs than on Hibs actually. No more camping mg's ( :sleeping: ) without risking an attack from behind, which will have 234287x more success to wipe a mg-camping force than an attack through a bottleneck.

For now, powerleveling on Hib/Excal is far more fun than being stuck behind amg untill at least 50% of the Albs grow brains or having no other option than joining a 40+ mindless zerg camping mmg. Hibs being non-existant lately doesn't really help to improve the RvR aswell.

 

[Brannor McThife]

They've mostly stopped levelling. No more zergs since a bunch hit 40.

Don't expect to see them impacting RvR much till after they're done with Camlann.

Coren hibs moved elsewhere because of the endless and continuous endless zergs, now we try to keep emain less zergy, of hibs anyway. Mainly mids and albs there, where we run around other places, often Odin's.

Whenever one of those major zergs enter emain, hibs leave it. Not bothering to run for 10 mins to get zerged by 5fg shortly after we enter emain. I't simply too boring.

 

[old.Mitsu]

Said on irc they would move guild rvr to prydwen after they had played Camlann.

 

[DocWolfe]

well tbh its sad for the hibs to have a bunch of pricks like them in their realm, extract from camlann forum of their leader:

Why would we be afraid of lvl 50s?!?!, we face lvl 50s in emain everyday. We farm lvl 50s like they were grain.
I do hope Cutting Edge will get many high levels fairly quickly so we get more gold and rp from you, although it might be too much to ask from people like you.
Our goal has switched from holding relics yada yada..., to complete and utter annihilation of Cutting Edge cuz of all the lies they spread about us. You talk the talk, but we all know you cannot walk the walk.
I say alot of stuff, everything i say, i back up.
So i say this to you: We gonna -->_FUCK_<-- you up until you quit the server in disgust.

 

[vayasen]

Why do so many 'uber guiild' leaders suddenly think they can insult smaller guilds...happens on game after game.

I know i shout some orders in rvr etc...but that is all with good intention I assure you. My shouting is primerilly for LOE...but any1 nearby is moe than welcome to follow along and join in some middie/hibbie killing.

If any1 ever has issues with me/loe....im very approachable in the game and when im not spammed under my pc desk Im glad to talk to any1 about Alb issues.

cheers

Just need a change from Albion. Hope we be back in a few weeks but you never know.

Indeed, building huge snowmen with Arte, Pyro & Co. is too much fun. Only problem, Midgard´s lacking carrots!

 

[old.Aure]

Sorry Coren we are now not coming to RVR in emain when theres the usual huge albion presence. The sheer numbers of Albs prevents us from being nothing but food. I personally have had enough of finding 3-8x numbers of foes everytime I go emain.

As soon as I see SOTL/LOE I shall be logging, no disrepect, you guys fight well, but the numbers...

The usual reply next post... "you invented the zerg".

Wrong, we started coming in numbers enough to provide a fight after months of losing to more numbers.

Lets hope PVP server clears away enough so RVR is a decent fight, instead of insane odds.

Thx

 

[kr0n]

Afaik the reasons why some (not all) of NP went to Hib was that they wanted a change from Excalibur, underdog realm in the server resulting many RP cows in Emain and superior realm (at least on paper). Again, GOAs handling of PvP release fucked up a bit of the plans (some buggered off after hearing the date, readying for the release). Some of us were actually lookin forward to the Prydwen RvR. Shame really, almost wish that PvP wouldve came week or two later, or we'd had started earlier on Prydwen.

And Docwolfe, yawn. :sleeping:

pwease. I think you played long enough on prydwen to know that prydwen rvr is pretty sad.

Emain mpk is camped by zergfils, apk is camped by shadown00bs
and the occasional hunter.

amg is camped by the mid zerg, then albs bring a zerg to kill the mid zerg, if albs dont outman mids at least 1:3, they don't charge and the entire amg goes into stasis until mids charge (albs charged like 2 times in my entire "career"). If albs do charge because they have 3 times as much players, they camp their side of amg until mids come back. (with the occasional sotl zerg running between apk and mpk)

maybe the gates at ligen have rusted and can't be opened but hibs dont seem to find their way into emain too often (respect to Trad for being solo alot)

Odin's is a zerg-or-boredom zone.

either there's a hib-alb zerg to take some keeps and open df or nothing at all happens ( not even yggdra camping anymore)

If this is quality RvR comparing to Excalibur, praise the lord (whichever that may be , don't want to shock all you religious fanatists (sp?) ) i'm playing pryd.

 

[kr0n]

klav: Albs & Mids = RP Cows And Emain is filled with em... so Hib would be nice

Agree re the B/K's esp Uppland as the bind stone means swarms of res sick foes who eventually cut you down.

We prolly do same at Ligen for any would be campers now. Die once, go out til numbers overwhelm whilst res sick.

/salute Oldbone and crew for that one.

 

[walkerb]

ive notice after running around in emain on exca that theres alot more runing around 1fg-2fg instead of just zergs.
and not so much mg camping as we got on prydwen

Did you check the MMG? Looked 3 times now and it had over 50 Albs there every time

[kr0n]

Usually its the LA crew, NP or CE running around in 1-2 FGs.

 

[DocWolfe]

kr0n from what I've seen the NP leader is some kind of maniac on prozac, with non-sensical ranting giving people alot of grief.

As the host of the great tv show Catchphrase once said; "say what you see", and thats what I see.

I can only make a judgement based on what I've seen.

 

[kr0n]

Yawn.

 

[Murcalumis]

Kr0n, your levels of idiocy still manage to amaze me.

 

[Generic Poster]

Hey c'mon, he tries hard to fit in with NP

 

[Uncle Sick(tm)]

I bet SFX wishes he had never mentioned that pr0n was his cousin...
Well, I'd be embarrassed having that dipwad in my family.

Oh - and *yawn*.

you know only members who pass their super evil training can enter their guild jk.

Some NP members are nice but you will always expect the odd wanker in any guild.

 

[Uncle Sick(tm)]

Super evil training? *cough, cough*

Like
"Go hack someone's account and be a right shitkicker in general!"?

pr0n must be on guild rank 2 then...

Yep the door hinges at Ligen are getting rustier every day. Hibs are totally bored with being zerged by such huge odds all the time, and the latest must-have fashion accessory the Alb Caster Zerg. We're trying our best to do some different things.

Personally I've made a rule of "get zerged once and do something else or log" because being steamrollered by massive odds repeatedly is so dull and I refuse to go back and be a RP cow, especially since the run to Emain is such a chore.

Hibs zerg too of course, but usually only in response and there's a growing mood to try different things, or just give up (I veer between the two constantly at the moment). Personally I do everything possible to stay out of any Hib zerg, much preferring small skirmish battles of 1-2 FG. For this reason I tend to play late at night IF things quieten down a bit. At these times we've had some great 1-2 FG fights. Hibs are still often outnumbered but we give a good fight. It's nice to win some fights, but most of us don't mind losing as long as it was an interesting fight and everyone fought bravely and wasn't streamrollered by stupid odds or a swarm of assassins.

More and more Hibs are keeping out of Emain and trying to do some different things, like Odins (which can get quite zergy too, but at least it's a chance of scene), Uppland, Hadrians, Sauvage etc.

Trouble is, every time we convince 1-2 FGs of Hibs to take a run out to Hadrians or Sauvage we almost never find any Albs there (more likely to find Mids), usually end up getting bored and suiciding. At least Mids are to be found away from Emain more often.

So, Mids and especially Albs, if you hate the zerg as much as you profess, split up more, try some different things. If you see 6FG of you on the teleport pad going Emain, why don't 3FG of you go to Odins or Hadrians instead, rather than take 6FG to Emain and bore everyone into logging out.

If you dont see any Albs in our frontier, grab a keep or slaughter a few greycons on the Sauv->Excal road.
It works for the Mids, so should work for you too

I could recommend Renaris for a keeptake as it is close enough to not be waved off with a "too bloody far, can't be arsed to run up there"-comment.
Chances are good you will run into the Mid Renaris Crack Squad as well, opening up for a nice three-way fight

 

[Cernos]

Been there & tried that Pixie. Have been in groups who have taken Renaris several times and got no response, so after 45-60 mins of waiting we suicided / logged. One time we suicided after about an hour and Albs took it back within about 10 minutes which made us wonder if they were just waiting for us to leave. Beno seems likely to draw some response .... eventually .... could grow an extra chin waiting though. Why are albs so slow to retake keeps?

Other times we've ganked a few people on the road outside Sauvage, between tower and battlekeep and no-one comes. By contrast, if you gank someone anywhere near Uppland battlekeep it's usually like kicking a hornets nest (and about as wise since they put a bindstone there).

We'll keep trying. We'll just have to knock up some road signs with nice bright colourful paint for you to find your way around your own back garden.

Problem with zerg is pretty much and unsolveable one, people will allways go where there are enemies to slaughter. If someone reports lots of albs camping mmgE people go there, and when we finally get enough guts to charge we outnumber them 4:1, and it's the same the other way around with mids.

However I see alot of posts about people wanting 1-2 fg fights, and tbh I rarely see zergs far above 14-16 people except for stealthers, but that's the same for middie forces.

Sure there are periods when some area's are camped like mad, but that's the time you go somewhere else.

If emain is too crowded I usually try out odin's, sometiems it's zz because there are only few enemies around, but usually the words spreads and a few more show up and it stays fun for 1-2 hours till too many join in.

I doubt you will ever get rid of zergs, but it is true that a more active hibernia (especially numberwise) would make it all alot more interesting
