Solo area?

[Samaroon EatsCheese]

i've heard some people from Excal talking about a solo area, round Bold or something iirc. anyone able to confirm this?

 

[Sollac]

yeah its an area that as soon as someone agrees will be full of mids...

cos there like that

 

[Flimgoblin]

gear likes to gank people around boldiam (xpers and the like) feel free to come along, it's not hugely busy so far but there's the odd fight.

 

[Borgio Finstermoor]

Im sure its on the board somewhere already but its an "un-official" solo(ish) area with Boldiam as one of the points, cant remember the others but i think it stretches down to surs.

Do a /search

 

[Kagato]

Hibs usually run from the west-coast up to the western Bold bridge, to the east bridge, around poc and then either directly south of bold down to the ellylls or around the eastern side of the Umbral woods down to the Barguest mobs at renaris and across to the ellylls, some even go as far down as hurbury but theres not as many encounters there.

Albs will usually port to Renaris and run up north along the Umbral woods, west above poc and up to Bold, running the route the opposit way.

So far mids havent seemed to of caught onto the solo potential here aside from a couple.

The actual fights tend to happen outside poc (translation - Vamps like to stay near poc so they can escape without worrying about losing buffs...) or on the bridges or near the Renaris mobs.

Fighting nearer the coast would be more ideal as its less travel for the enemies and less high level mobs and a flatter battle field, but theres also less through traffic.

Personally i'd like to see more mids make use of the zones, the same old vamps are either boring or zerging more, and the only mids that use it so far is Zoia, who's always a fun fight, and kite-moth.

However given the situration with Agramon, theres a good incentive to encourage soloing in HW/Opulans area, out of the way of the full group paths.

I will start roaming there as soon as my 2h template is ready.

 

[Gear]

Lately I mostly camp either west bold bridge or the south one. Helps me pick my fights.

Today I went there, there was just a guardian mincer from pryd who tagged along with me going all the way to snowdonia (would have been a nice thing to find a mid there, x-realm cries all over )

Then I found a mid group, charged them and hit agony transmission cause I was bored

Going back there in about 10 mins, and the route Kagato gave is more or less correct.

 

[Fuaip]

I've been there a few times, trying to get a fair 1on1 duel with someone. Never found one there, so please.. come there and duel my champ..

Cya at bold bridge area! (i hope)

I'll never say no to a 1on1(unless it's a buffed necro, then i will leg it!).

I see you're a rr4 champ, according to your sig. Don't really like those, but i will still try.
Few days ago i kept running into this rr4(think that was his realm rank. Hellshar, iirc) champ and he beat me 3-4 out of 4-5 fights. :\
Them debuffs are nasty, but i never say no to a hard fight!

As for you, Kagato, i may have to snare/kite you so i can use FA1. A toe to toe fight with you is too hard now.

 

[Vodkafairy]

mm, give 1v1 area for my champ to roam in

 

[Samaroon EatsCheese]

well gonna try this out tomorow (thanks for the info etc), if it's no good, i won't be logging on again

looking forward to having fights with you guys, Zoia, Gear, Kivik etc :]

Sounds exactely what we need on this cluster, see you there

Did you change something? The fights were much closer before when I was crush damage, now im slash and resisted by your armour I was expecting you to win more often, the malice has never proc'd till the end of the fight so it cannot be that making much differance.

I should have a new template in a week or two to try anyway, that may change things some, for better or worse.

Be nice to have some champion fights, tank fights of any variety would be more interesting then the typical vamp/stealthers.

 

[Vodkafairy]

last time we duelled you were pretty pissed off tho kagato, but im up for a rematch any time

 

[Raven]

would love to have somewhere to go for some decent tank v tank fights, spend most of my time getting run over by shit groups or caster duos

anytime

 

[Leel]

Ehe, maybe I'll check it out with my bm. Was soloing in agramon around midnight tonight and it wasn't that bad really.

I had my new template the last time we fought.
The difference from my last temp is: I now have SoM, no Scalars, a little less quick, more melee spd(should be the same), a little less con/hits(35-40 less hits), 26 str cap(instead of 17).

I think that the biggest difference is that i parried more last time we met.
Now that i got 9 more str cap in my new temp, i thought i'd try out aug str 4 to see how much difference it would be.
That ment i had to drop all my MoParry and some other things to get it.
I do hit a wee bit harder, i think, but whether that's because i have more str cap, lower quick, is hard to say.(i also have 3 less melee damage now).
I'll probably drop aug str 4 and stick to 3 and get MoParry 2/3 instead.

I really only wanted to see if i noticed any difference with the higher str, but even if i do hit for i tiny bit more, i certainly notice less parrying.
Next time we meet, i think i will have a little less str, but more parry.

Hate to spoil teh party, but organising a "solo" area on FH is like putting up a sign for FG's/zergs etc reading "FREE RP's" especially after cluster

only retards who can't compair with the decent fg's in agramon will bother us though (imo)

 

[boppas]

agreed, but a few times this has been tried on FH & there were always some who seen it as an oppuurtunity for easy RP, soloers didnt really have to much of a hard time before clustering ....FG's would 9/10 leave them alone... atm no chance at least until it calms down a lil... all ya can do atm is go out & hope you get a 1v1 before u get steam rolled

im not gonna bother wasting my time trying to get a 1v1 on Agramon

and although the rp's will be easy, they will also be very shit, so it'd be a pretty big waste of time ^^

 

[Zoia]

So far i haven't seen that many there. I may even run around for half an hour before i find something to fight.

If some FG wants to run around there for half an hour to get some RPs(50 each?), then let them.
They will soon be bored i think. Even if they find 2 soloers every 30 min.

 

[Kaun_IA]

as im a more sniper ranger(tho my specc is more melee) im solo all the time.

best place i have found to get rp is beno. outside of beno where ppl buff up, i allways find a suitable target or so in evry 5-10 min. then kill it near 2 fg of albs and get away whit it.

 

[Gear]

I'll take those caster duos if you take the heavy tanks

 

[Flimgoblin]

I'll bring teh crossbowpanda along so you can get some easy RP between dying to vamps/kagato

I'd rather have more parry seeing as solo its mostly DW users we fight. But having said that we halve each others chance to parry anyway being 2H.
Hopefully i'll have my new template to try soon as well

so much for solo area - half groups and fgs of mids/hibs just running around killing anything there - might as well go albion bridgehead

Not that there's any rules against it just not much of a solo area if they do

I have to admit im rather disapointed at all the full groups and semi full cheesy groups (2 BD/Lock etc) going around killing soloers and expers in the area. Mostly seem to be mids as well.

Not a whine but I find it rather sad and pathetic of them, seems like quite a waste of time killing the old soloer every half an hour for 200 rp when they could make 20 times as much rps in agramon.

Have managed to get a couple of nice fights with hellshar there though
