RvR zerges boring me, what else can we do ?

[pudzy]

Ok I've been whining for weeks about zerges, theyve got bigger and bigger, so I thought why not goto hib/exc and cool down a bit.. ehich I have. I've been there for almost a week and have a made a Mentalist, lvl 23 atm, mana spec aoe dot is evil . So as we all do.. we goto thid.. except I'm having a small problem.. it's more fun than 'real' rvr, only urge I have to lvl is to get new spell's, if there wasn't a cap I'd love it. Main reason thid is so good, is because there are no zerges running around killing everything that moves, stealthers can solo happily, I was pa'd about 20times in like 5mins . I personally would be alot happier is real rvr was expanded with more changes to how it is atm, maybe a bg style zone for 50's aswell with fixed player limits mebe. Anyone got any idea's which could improve the fun and enjoyment or rvr? Instead of running around killing as many people as possible because realm points give you an 'elite' reputation and ra's, tho I dont care how many rp's anyone has if their nice and play nice im ok

I was expecting stupid answers.

Can we have some idea's rather than pointless replies?

Go chase all thoose cute kobbie girls. Ohhh wait you are a married man.

The only real way to avoid Zergs is to cap the players in an area of the frontier.

But NO ONE will want this.

Idea = Avoid them, it aint rocket sience is it.

There are plenty of groups in other frontier areas, in fact the bigger the zergs get, the more grp v grp action u can find elsewhere.

There are Lots of 8v8 fans out there from all 3 realms all making a big effort to get out of the Zerg and explore new areas.

Stupid answers? U dont see me whining about Zergs now do you

eheh pudzy PLZ !!!

im currently playing excal/ALb cos of the same shit RvR on our server and plz u cant say BG isnt zerg vs zerg thast all it is, well id go as far to say its Port Vs Port or Port Vs CK campers, what makes it good for me is its fast sure u can get wiped out in under a minute sometimes but its only 10 minutes until u r back ready for more.

look out for me Deepphat the friar and Efour the firewizzy
give me a wave

yeah the lvl 50 BG is a good idea, but it cant work with fixed numbers and alike-it cant RP cap-well i dunno i think it a population issue with pywdren we are too few people to not goto obvious places and zerg, i like grp vs grp fights but lets be honest first to CC wins thats almost as boring as zerg vs zerg, and its twice as humiliating. I always thought if this game had a freely accessable test center like UO used to there would be absolutely no point to leveling infact if thid didnt have RP caps, like u say pudzy id be more than happy playing there until i get bored of daoc.... probably not too long away

As said above, forget Emain, go to Hadrian's and Odin's.

Typically you will find 3-realm wide combats, with usually no more than 1/2 fg of each.

There's always a guy running alone to snipe, or you get nice squirmishes.

RvR zergs are like magnets.

Once folks see death spam, they ask where, then converge (from multiple realms).

Also players go back to the same spot for revenge if they get ganked, and they tend to bring increasingly greater forces.

MGs, Keeps and PK are typical camp spots. Groups dig in and wait. Usually if they have the greater advantage. Nothing unusual there.

To PvE in the frontiers, there are plenty of quiet places that hardly see a player in days.

If you want small group RvR though - then just keep mobile and don't camp the same area if you can avoid it. Having a speeder in the group is essential for this unless you are a stealther group.

Naturally - be too elusive and you will see only mobs...but that's the price you pay.

The only real words of hope I can offer will be that the new zones in Shrouded Isles will mean more areas to explore and to keep us busy.

Can't wait - esp. as much of the gfx lag problems are cured by the new engine.

Cool.

Courier tasks are a good way to get group vs group action or smaller skirmishes. People will always zerg Odins/Emain/Hadrians but not once you're in Pennines/Jamtland/Crauchon you avoid that. Since the new patch brought xp bonuses for fighting near controlled keeps you'll stand a good chance of running into training groups instead of mindless zergs.

Dont loose stick with the Zerg

Be sure to take Crauchon before you try to use the gatekeeper

Breifine is the word you´re looking for

This is where DAoC falls flat on its face. You'll never get rid of the zergs and if you move to another frontier the zerg will follow. I'm about to delete one of my non used chars and level another to 24 to get back into the bg's. They are so much fun. ZAoC = Zerg age of camelot. Maybe its why lots of people are leaving/going to different servers etc.
