[Huntingtons]

Aya, I miss those days

we all do :'(

 

[Maoni]

I would like to say thanks to all those players that will /quit the game for good, or not play for some time.

We had some nice fights in old.emain or old.Daoc.

NF is just zerg, zerg, zerg imo

I hope it will calm down and we who had some nice fg fights can keep on having them.

I guess this Thread is most for hibs, sincer they were the once we met fg vs fg most, since alb ofc zerged. Tho /respect to AD!!!!

Not only that hibs lost GP which makes it hard for u with only one demezzer in a decent group. Hibs have had some big nurfing, and without gp and power relices, and 2 realms bashing on u, i really understand why some of u leave.
even tho u get more rps pr kill hihi

i think i speak for most Groove, Aurora Borealis and Blizzard members, those i have played with when i say this.

Myself, i will keep on playing a little more, dunno how long, but will check NF out for some time.

plz keep flames out of this thread, and yeh, its a thread to the fotm groups and powergamers, so casual players can also plz not flame here.

if u want to flame make ur own post.

anyway, thanks to you, u know who u are..

/respect

Regards Djin

I for once can run solo with my caba now =P (well i could before too i guess but i never felt that it was any point til NF came).
I was bored of rvr, with nf it brought my caba back to life (and matter spec! ) looking forward to next time im logging on =)¨
Havent been part of any zerg at all so far, but on other side i mostly camp towers tho (thats what matter spec is all about...with best nearsight and aoe dot)

 

[Stallion]

If this is true I'm gonna cry IRL.

of happiness thou.

I guess I would to If my overman stopped playing.

 

[Phule_Gubben]

I guess I would to If my overman stopped playing.

LoL... Overman.

Rofl... :wub:

You are so damn funny, btw. What is it you're trying to say?

You're not gonna quit now?

 

[raid]

I give respect to any fg who roamed emain in the hope of meeting the best grp from the enemy realms. The excitement of knowing they were out there and you might have the chance of a fight with them without adds was really what this game was about for me. If a fight lasted a long time then i didnt give a shit if I won or lost in the end as long as it was a close fight.

what he said

 

[duact]

BTW actually did my best ever in alb with me, Waok, and Azurat trio'ing a rr7+ fg of hibs. Vigilance i beleive?

did u need 3ppl to kill vigilance, omfg u suck

 

[solls]

Respect Djiin ^^

Its not so much the zergs and underpopulation, but you and that sodding speedwarp Driven me to the end of my tether many a time matey

 

[Eluvia]

I know should have been able to solo thier fg with a mercenary rofl

 

[zx^]

I guess this Thread is most for hibs, sincer they were the once we met fg vs fg most, since alb ofc zerged. Tho /respect to AD!!!!

plz keep flames out of this thread

hehe and yet u started flamming outlaw

come join the fun at nottmoor

 

[Vaas Harkonnen]

tbh i prefer 9vs9

 

[Sheph]

I guess I had some of the best FG vs FG RvR ever possible. I had the opportunity to group with many great players and face the hardest opposition.

The game changed alot. For some for the better. For some for the worse. Its weird but bodyguard took alot of fun out of warden

We will never again see the exciting guild fights from pre-NF. Some clashes with JH & NP comes to mind. They even lured out the angry Sheph!

/salute to you all who made the game so fun back then

 

[Hotrats]

I would comment on what happened when we lost mez, but it never happened.

hmm ok, and i agree winning mezz vs high rr hib mids groups was the only way to make the fight 50/50 chances, although vs hibs it wasn't really winning first mezz that mattered, it was more avoiding there mezz and tieing the bard up asap.

Yep I think those exciting fights are gone I'm still sure alb had it hardest that patch though, needing 1 group setup to take hib pbae groups and a completely different one for mid savage groups, was still some very fun/close fights though

hmm, no? imo 2 merc/minstrel/2cleric/paladin/sorc/theurg was best vs every setups. atleast it worked for us vs every type of grp

 

[Rushie]

Yeah we used this setup as well, deffo the most solid alb had at the time and it was fine all the way upto toa release. As for nf all i seen is keep zergs so far, and as a guild we dont have the numbers to put out a fg atm due to members RL commitments, so i been in small grps / solo most of it and cant really comment on fg fights in nf yet, but from what i hear it dont sound good.

 

[Aliorm]

Best RvR was after SI, giv me it again

 

[Aeicaan]

nah it was grapple, as much fun to grapple as being grappled.

good post.. remember those days and they owned, coming home from work and knowing you would have a good time because of all the active rvr guilds and people, guess you dont miss it untill its all gone.

havnt tried NF myself but for hibs losing GP all i can say is hello SOS

remember the titans-.-

[Kokelimonkelmedisin]

So sad, I wonder how many people that got fiered at mythic for making NF ^^

 

[Garbannoch]

Best time for me was definitely june 2003-december 2003. During the summer I usually ran in a group with Domain and Novamir rest changed pretty much on a daily basis. Think we did quite well back then - BF was active and I can also remember fighting FC a lot ( :wub: Hotrats). JH didn't exist yet (think they were formed in late summer/early autumn).
Then in August/September the regular DH groups started, which lasted till about December 2003/January 2004. Best fights were definitely against JH and NP. Also had many good fights against FC and AD and the old TB group in odin .

The game has changed a lot and so have my irl circumstances. After finishing my master in computer science I am working like 10 hours each day and can only play a few hours in the evening (if I am not too tired or don't have better stuff to do). Basically the game I played 1 year ago (when I was playing almost 24/7) wouldn't be the same today regardless of NF.
I think the game needed a drastic change as many people were getting tired of the old RvR system and I think NF has brought some fun back to a big playerbase. I have to admit that I don't enjoy it atm as the zergs are just too big but I am confident that this will change soon and I hope it's gonna be as fun as the beta on gorre.

(p.s. various guilds' rvr videos from one year ago are really fun to watch now)

garbannoch well spoken m8 ur reply said it all imo (nothin 2 add) :wub:

 

[Hotrats]

I agree that was the best setup at the time, lacks heat resist buff though which people like Garb really abused. Trouble is without a caba a sorc has very crap damage output (hibs always had 24% body from warden), but with a caba its too many cloth casters to face a mid group (caba/sorc groups were still really fun though, even pre-TOA).

:wub: that summer was when I joined FC, I was still really low RR but rvr was so much fun I had to join a rvr guild, I remember fighting you, domain and novamir and basically you were the first hib groups that we had trouble beating.

Then in August/September the regular DH groups started, which lasted till about December 2003/January 2004. Best fights were definitely against JH and NP. Also had many good fights against FC and AD and the old TB group in odin.

Then you formed DH and it became even harder to beat you, the high RR well played druids gave you the edge, as well as Tusk who really knew how to play the defensive tank, and Sheph of course. Our closest fights vs you were when we had tilda on his reaver (I remember domain whining about tilda on mirc ), but then that meant we sucked vs mids

(p.s. various guilds' rvr videos from one year ago are really fun to watch now)

Yep, I watched my vid (MindratTest.avi) again recently and realised how great it was back then in dark age of tankalot, wish I had recorded more as I remember some fights being so much fun, the fights were you can actually feel the adrenaline pumping round your body cus you want to win so badly, it only ever happens vs certain groups though, who you know are tough to beat.

It's strange how it's only a game yet cus of the reputation you and others make it becomes more than that, like a competition on who is the best of the best, will be interesting to see what happens in WoW pvp cus one thing is for sure it will be far more balanced that daoc (almost the same classes on alliance and horde). Learning from NF and daoc pvp server though, the one thing that is crucial to fun is one or two dedicated zones where you can just fight other people, nobody wants to spend hours looking for a fight, and so far that seems to be what NF has done.

so rigth

 

[elbeek]

NF = insta fights which is way better than the old, roam between milegates or, if your setup permitted run to breif etc. At long last keep fights have become important, realms turning out in strength to defend/retake ( i know mids have done this for a long time, but from an Alb perspective it is good to see teamwork again). Ok i know fg v fg has died atm but eventually it will return.

I was impressed by the Ardamel zerg the other night, and equally impressed by the way Aste lead Albs into a full on tower retake this afternoon. It made for a great afternoons gameplay which is what it is all about.

 

[Danord_durin]

Still for all the followers its just brainless zerging wich i reckon to be the most dull thing in the world to do
