Too right.

Practically the only solo'ers I've met since agramon launched are neff's ns and majiii, and having gone back to college recently, I've only been able to play at peak times, meaning I get really badly zerged 99.9% of the time.

Also the zerging's gotten really lame, i've been popped infront of fullgroups and /ruded a hell of a lot lately (mylittleeye, you'd best watch your back), much more than it ever happened before agramon.

Zerg seems to hit at primetime tbh, not soo bad early during the day. Probelm is there are too many bottle necks with this patch and stealthers from all realms seems to congregate at 3 main bridge points. Hence the adds.

The mile gate areas are ideal areas for solo / duo play, yet its the same old story of travelling time, its easier to get boat than to be arsed to run it.

If as stealthers we want to generate solo / duo play we need to set out a dedicated location to meet, a loc thats suits all 3 realms distance wise. Strange that for all the update and exspnsions we still seem to be faced with one of DAOC's oldest issues.

Hmm, ahh well...

Dukat mate do what i do i stay away from the main land and walk around DF now is a nice mix in there and you can avoid the zergs. I have come across soloers and duos and the odd trio.

Went onto the island 2 times got zerged so stay away now.

And also in Df there are no towers for me to run too:clap:


Cya soon my friend and we will have a hug and a beer:cheers:

Also done my honourable bit helped two middies kill kobil :) we then hugged and waved and went our seperate ways

I saw a 3-4man midgroup sunday morning around 10am on a bridge..

sometimes wish I didn't have a 8-16 life so I could play when it's less zergy.


also the bridgeheads are not as good anymore as people have moved to the bridge closest to keeps.. where they get all the reduced RP they could ever want. (I know I've been around them too.. had to try, but not much fun really).

Hey

ive played my shadowblade alot lately and everytime ive played it i have been solo.....

Ive had a few good fights too...all at alb side of AMG...but then again there have been a few decent albs that have either watched and cheered or carried on with what they was doing, the only problem ive had so far is a fg of hibs come gank me and a mincer during a 1vs1...

THis was all during primetime too not in the early hours of the morning coz im not on....

But imo give more solo stealthers in alb..sick fed up of findining sigmeiir on his bridge with Washington stuck to his arse!!


regards

As Durrell has put it I went back into DF few days ago see what changes have happened in there and have had a some Good fights mostly Mids tbh but was really enjoyable.

Like to thank Joe (Whatever) for the 5K I made today off his Alts tho :)

DF nice place hope it picks up more and I can avoid the FG stealthers.

Problem is no soloers can get past there own milegate alive so everyone who solo's just hangs around their own bridge.

I think if you want to solo you need to think away from agramon and try HW or bold area.

Hey! I solo too most of the time :>

And if I attack someone and another middy attacks at the same time, I tend to back out of the fight as there is no point in steamrolling a RR3 stealther :(

Had one fight against a tank the other day and it was going to be close, and this bloody archer (Niwa?) hit me lots of times for over 1000 damage in total! I had to vanish against the tank which pissed me off as usually I'd rather die fighting, but I didn't want the archer to get the RPs :> So vanished -> got my health back up and hunted him down :> I think another SB got there before me though :p

And I somehow had a solo fight against kagato when it was quite busy on the bridge - where he destroyed me :> I think I need to PA+CD you next time instead of unstealthing and duelling :> I lose too much of an advantage :>

I always solo with my ranger unless Im playing with the guild but then thats a regular guildgroup.

Anyway...I very rarely find solo stealthers...its much more common to find solo casters, tanks and whatnot even if they aint common either.

There were a goodly amount of soloers yesterday round 17:00 ish, Paradoxx, Urizen and some other high RR crew. Ofc being a lowly RR such as i am i got wasted, but still some mighty close and decent fights, was nice to get a couple of 1 on 1's
Nerf your FZ Shrewsbury, thought i had u there :)

i have been attempting to solo the last few nights but retarded mid stealth zergs have made it imposible, went and farmed them for a bit with bliizard but was more of a suicide run, take as many with us as we can. we got 5 or 6 out of the 8 or so that ended up attacking us (no joke) i think maybe soloers should all head to one zone, its probably against the CoC but it would make it far more enjoyable.

Bold area is the best for solo - duos, has been pre-island, and it still is.

Try the docs. Whenever I take a boat I have 1 or 2 stealthers with me.
If 1 out of X stealthers in a stealth zerg dies he will probably be solo close to the docs. And this happens all the time (usually when a duo/trio/zerg attacks my WL).
GL with the solo stealther thingie ;)

That title goes to grimster by far, to a lesser extend shrewsbury.

everyone zergs once or twice during thier stealther career (I've done it two or three times since NF launched), but not everyone does it every night, day in day out, majii's been solo alot recently tbh, how can you call him master of stealthzergs when he's been solo atleast three times since agramon launched?

he may have run in a 'zerg' once or twice during the past, but then so has everyone, its how often people do it that gets on my nerves.

I managed to get a boat to DC and run all the way through Island to alb side, where pretty much all night it was camped by mids and warlocks using sides of bridge but the rest of the island was clear. I went to Emain and it was pretty clear there, I guess I'll check bold area myself aswell now.

had Guten + ravenloc doing that last night - was interesting to see them camping under the alb bridge with a fop later on, warlock spamming spreadheal - nice tactic, still a lame cheeseclass though ;)
