Proposed Solo Area...

[TheBinarySurfer]

Ok folks all i see day-in day-out is the latest complaint about how you can't get 1-1fights anymore in NF. And i'm thinking - solo fights could be regular if people just arranged a place to hold them - would probably mean going a bit out of your way but hey - if it rocks your boat, right?

Heres my proposition:
Each realm has a strip of land leading to Agramon. If all the true soloer's went here you have a small strip of land that it's easy to locate each other, easy to get to (both on boat and from Benow/Bled/Cru) on, and usually easy to see if people are already fighting or not.
(Theres what - 20-30 true soloers online onpeak max? That means if somehow they were evenly spread 9-10 people to fight somewhere thats less than 5 mins from your most forward port keep).

You would be able to enforce the no-adding rules easily enough by mutual agreement amongst all the true soloers that if anyone adds deliberately on fights you turn your attention to them and stop fighting each other.

If you get chain adders deliberately showing up there, you make an effort to chain-kill to the point of ignoring the person you were going to fight originally so the adder gets bored and go elsewhere.

To the adds/fight spoilers: You are free to go to these areas and add as you please as is your right under the EULA/CoC whatever. However the people who want to solo will make your life as difficult as possible (see above).

Disclaimer - i'm merely trying to help people who enjoy a specific part of the game find fights / fun again. I do not claim that I play this way all the time, or even some of the time.
I merely see that a significant number of people want to, and are upset that they are unable to find fights easily.

If you dont like that playstyle - fine. However this thread isn't for you - don't post here. Mods please feel free to delete any crap / "its a war" comments that arrive here - this thread isn't for those people.

Keep bumping it to near the top and on your guild forums and personal forums, msn signature - whatever. You make the effort to improve it as a sub-community it'll start to improve.

Perhaps its just a nice idea, but at least this post was constructive instead of yet another add-on-solo fights whine

Note to the Mods - please delete any non-relevant, spam or whine/abuse etc showing up in this thread - want to try and keep it useful to perhaps improve the game for some

cool can i bring warlock

As with the solo zone its a great idea
And i hate to spoil anything, but ghan tried this out with a forum of its own and a good management behind it and it all died out two times in a row.
All cause of the "true" soloers that didnt show up to keep it a live.
We were a few brave souls that showed up the first time around...and also the second time around.

Im not sure it what way this will be different, but im always happy to help out making it come live if enough people can stick to it.
Have my doubts as people get bored with a zone after a while and want the randomness of "normal" rvr.
Anyways, good luck
eb.

 

[auroria]

lol evita solo xD

 

[Kinag]

I'm in!

Great idea

 

[Eyres]

its been done before, was good for a few weeks but then it just died out

given the fact most honourable players have gone and its most zerging morons left i doubt this will take off

also given the fact the last one was run by an honourable player and this one is being run by a zerging moron isnt going to help either

 

[Fatload BoysDoCry]

Sounds good

 

[Vodkafairy]

will check it out if i play ns or scout. fatload going to perma-add on everyone trying to duel or actually respeccing melee?

. it was a genuine question, since I saw you were looking for a broodmother fang. and even though you deserve adds on every single solofight, ill look forward to duels with my scout

Well ive changed my template+spec quite a bit, alot of it is to do with 1.83 and the armor table changes. With the 50 bow i had i was opening on some assasins and getting FZ off and still not killing them, they would get to me with 15-20% hp and kill me. So i decided a new template+spec was needed, and having a broken arm has given me the chance to address the pve side of the game. 2 weeks and i get a smaller pot and the use of my elbow back so ill hopefully be back in action

As for the fang i want that for chain wearers

 

[Wazowski]

yeah ofc its a great idee tho there will always be those that go there with friend and try to get some easy rp's
And it will always die since if someone running there... he doesnt find anything... then he doesnt go there again... etc.. maybe..

 

[Kagato]

hmmmm we'll see. I have my doubts but will try it regardless I just hope it does not turn into the usual 'sit down in a circle dueling' crap that goes on sometimes and stays as proper soloing. That was the start of the troubles with the solo club.

Sure, just admit that you cannot cut it. You always lose.

There used to be a lot of 1v1 action there for about a month after agramon came out, even extending as far as the milegates. I'm sure people remember caster groups with prescience nodes camping the advanced agramon bridges too But for some reason it all died out slowly to the point where it's now completely gone, my guess is because it's 40 seconds run further from the bridges/boat dropoff point.

 

[Nuxtobatns]

The prob i had with the old solo zone is that no1 was there in no primetime hours :/
Also didnt like that sometimes there would happen to be a lot of sitting around in the open with 2-3 peeps around u. ( its good if its random from time to time..but not everyday)

 

[Fahdlan]

sounds like a good idea

 

[liloe]

When I play my BM I will take rounds there =))

 

[kivik]

I'll be there for sure, but let's not stand in a circle and shit as it becomes kinda dull.

 

[Wazkyr]

found gahns area abit to big, to far between the fights, and ppl only came with their fully twinked rr10 chars. I think it could work, but doubt close to agra would be the best place. Id guess a set spot (could be discussed on a closed forum like gahns) but with a smaller area, and a few set days (not 7 times a week)

wtf?i saw u tonight and u added on me 3 times..last time it was when i was over with a fight with a VW (50% health left) and when i started fighting u u ran like a chicken back to DC ck..pls stop saying such bullshit...and target better with FZ

you can't target with fz iirc! Doesn't it take the nearest enemy?

I played for 45 minutes with 1 arm and logged, wanted to hit 6l4, mission accomplished.

 

[JoshYouAre]

I actually think this is a fantastic idea.
I do however think it could be improved upon as like people say the same location is vulnerable to zergers looking for easy rp's and would also get boring, plus there may not always be action there.
I think it could work if an IRC channel were set-up for the purpose of discussing solo fight areas (changed each time) when enough people are online/active and looking for solo fights/duels.

 

[Gustav]

Fatload...come to this new solo area. But be warned I suspect that everyone there will stop fighting each other and gank you so you may have to go through a lot of griefing to get your street cred up a bit before ppl will let you solo there unmolested.

 

[Ckiller]

Ill prob show up... but cant we just concentrate on one of the places???

 

[echome]

Soloing... I'll be there.

 

[Shike]

If it was a solostealtherthingy I'd give it a go, cba with armsmen and such since they are unbeatable with these conditions.

Heavy tank roaming around looking for a solo in that area will have every single timer up almost every fight, since there are too few solos left on server. All it takes is IP for them to win, if it wasnt for that I wouldnt hesitate jumping any tank
