Saturday night is switch your brain off and zerg night then?

[Cernos]

Yes it's another zerg thread. They won't go away until you all do

Mids zerging HMG Odins, Albs zerging AMG Emain (well nothing new there then).

Sheesh, what a boring game you all play. Show some imagination.

 

[Lochlyessa]

Daoc, a MMORPG .. notice the massively multiplayer bit? you do? Think I'll leave it at that then

 

[Cernos]

MMORPG just means that a large number of people can be on the same server at the same time. It doesn't mean you have to all stand in the same place

 

[Xeanor]

87 Albs in Emain Macha......

You don't have to, but you can.

He draws a knife on you? You draw a gun.
He puts one of your guys in the hospital? You put one of his in the morgue.
He brings 2FG? You bring a zerg.

This game is designed around big battles. Rallying a large organised force is the way to win big battles. Sure there may be skirmishes in the fringes, but battles are fought with numbers against numbers. In that respect, the game is at least accurate.

The best players in DAOC are those that can successfully organise a large force into achieving an objective, not those who can rack up RPs or pwn anyone 1-on-1. They are merely soldiers.

It is midnight and still over 70 albs in Emain

Well telling 40 people to go kill 8 doesn't take very much does it?

Oh no mids defending their realm in Odins, dear god whats the world coming to!!

Hold up ... wasn't your guild formed to be an "RvR guild"? So where do you go for your RvR?

Okay - Emain cos thats where all the enemy players are ... So why should the rest of the Alb's go someplace else?

The fault isn't with any realm its with the game design.

Which is why there are flame threads about zergs on every servers forum!

 

[old.Vae]

Oops sorry - think the Mid zerg at Hmg was our fault

They decided to respond to our nice little capture of Arvakr with 68 mids

You wont see me in more than 1fg unless its amg/mmg milegate,we try to run seperately but how easy it is u think when there are 70 albs in emain?.Odins is empty also whenever we visit it so its not an option most of the times
In the same way, u "zerged" us quite some times the last few days when there was another mid group happening to pass by.
And why would i want to bring more than 1fg for you?...

 

[Shike]

yay!! more strong whine!!!

hooray

Yep, essentially this is the root problem although it doesn't mean we have to all give in to it and not be imaginative about RvR instead of just joining the nearest zerg.

The end game is essentially crap in terms of size, scope, objectives and variety. There's vast PvE areas to be explored (though most of the time people seem willing to sit on a list for 24 hours to xp in the same spot) but in terms of RvR areas we're expected by Mythic to all run around a few zones the size of postage stamps, made worse by the addition of choke points like mile gates. Really rubbish game design basically (and yeah before anyone says, why DO I continue to play, I keep asking myself that too).

SI was the biggest bag of shite of all really. Yes it's pretty, yes there's some great PvE zones and dungeons, but where the hell are the end game improvements? Ok, so there's a free 'RvR expansion' coming, so perhaps that will help. Sadly I suspect it will be too little too late.

Personally I'm desparate to find another MMORPG that has the same flavour as DaoC but has a better concept of game/class balance (which is a total joke in Daoc) and a better implementation of PvP.

Speaking as a hib, I think the mids can have as many zergs as they want in their own frontier. What you expect them to let you into their realm without a fight?

Now albs in Emain, thats a different matter.

 

[Fightersuntzu]

Everyone zergs ! so quityerbitching

nerf [Realm] for having [x] (fgs/people) in [location] in [zone] at [time]. [Insult]

Generic zergwhine format. Please use so i can tune it out

So as a Alb it's ok if my group get zerged by Mids in Odins and by Hibs in Emain? I should join Alb zerg in HW and zerg Mids and Hibs to actually been able to kill something?

yes, you run with 1 fg to mmg then you stay there whole night with the zerg

 

[amazingsteve]

says a mid who camped the HMG in Odins with 8fg all night

 

[hrodelbert]

Ice cream anyone?

 

[Marcus75]

The amount of people at peak times when I started was just above 1000 online...a few days ago it was 2000 so I dont really think "the zergs" is a result of anything other than a big player population, it will probably get worse as long as the players playing on prydwen increases.

 

[amazingsteve]

it´s 1pm on sunday, Emain is quite besides for a few hibbies and they still don´t have the balls to run in smaller than 2fg
