Thid Stealth

[snortan]

I play an infi in thid

How come Mid Sb/hunters always travel in duo or more?

i seldom come across a solo hunter or sb

Is it becuse
u play bad?
are frightend of Alb/Hib?
hunt for RP?

i don't understand why

i seldom play in a grp, i like a fair fight 1vs1 (damn hard to win over a zerker)

I got a good laught at Mid at CK today, killed a mid with my crossbow (just for the fun of it), and as i thoght the fh swam after me as i was god or something, got insta mezzed stunned and killed (ofc as it was a fh)

so ppl plz leave 1vs1 alone, sure kill the winner if u like (but u earn respect to leave him/her alive)

 

[Coldbeard]

hahaha , infil complaining bout sbs never solo.. nice one m8 !

 

[Sendraks]

Maybe you're looking in the wrong places. I've encounter more solo SBs & Hunters in Thid than I have duos or greater.

Likewise, I've seen just as many alb stealthers grouped with another stealth class as I have solos.

No one realm is better than the other in this respect.

 

[Chronictank]

im (chronicstrike) always solo
unbuffed too tho

you should be happy they let you finish ur duel m8, theres nothing wrong with wiping you afterwards tbh thats the nature of a stealther. Pick the wrong place to uncover and u pay for it

 

[snortan]

They thing is, if i get 1 on 1 situation, i is more often that someone adds that not

if albs is adding i slap em

Boring part is all Bd's, i have never seen 1 not adding in a assasin fight

furthermore, why do hib always seem to add on Albs before Mids?

a few days back, i jumped a sb, his friend added after a few secs (grp or not i don't know), almost had that sb, when a void eldritch bolted me to death....., then ignored the sb's
clerly realising he was outnumberd......

 

[Sendraks]

I'm usually greatful if someone adds. I'm not so precious about my kills that I won't share with anyone else and I'd rather live through a fight and gain a few less RPs, than risk snuffing it. I get plenty of solo fights against other stealthers and I find these to be tense experiences rather than enjoyable ones. Enjoyable is one shotting a mid or hib caster with perf.

I wish there was a punch emote that I could use on those who get into a hissy fit about people adding on their kills. Ideally this emote command would smack their heads into their monitor.

Sounds to me like he picked his target wisely. You were outnumbered and therefore an easy kill for a few quick RPs. Maybe he didn't feel confidant taking on the SBs, maybe he thought there were more about. He took the safe option. Not brave. Safe.

hunt for RP in thid, i can understand that some do (noobs and such), but most of us don't
he whould get 1 rp from killing me, and the other too sb's 1 rp

i find the hunt for RP in thid annoying, i wish for a /delete RP command
i play in thid for the fun of it, i hunt for RP in real RvR with other chars

Thid is just playground (atlest for me)

u must be joiking - listen tyo this .. 2 days ago after a 1v1 fight i was resting stealth and near was a skald - some secs after i saw an infil landing a pa on the skald - i was rdy to add when i saw a 2nd infil unstealth and run towards skald - 1 sec after there were 5 infils and 3 scouts shooting skald who was instand killed ofc...

so plz i dont ever wanna hear about an alb stealther to complaing about duos !!! when u are runing in grps or if u dont u add like u are grped

 

[Stinkywizzleteeth]

I dont care about adding or whatever. Its war, and its nasty. Personally i'll add, use side styles, whatever works to kill the opposition. Id rather live, and see my enemy face down than <PA>, /dance, <insert style here>, /wave, <insert style here>, paint a picasso and then ht them for a last 13 billion critshot, /ponder, /rude and then shout in /c I AM TEH L33TZ0R. PH33R MY SK1LLZ.

There are however, lots of ego's running around in DAoC that endlessly whine about ppl doing this or that, droning on and on about thier sk1lls. Imagine the carnage down your local pub if people came down and started it there.

Still at least in game we have /ignore.

Its all a big bag of wind really. Pity we cant harness the hot air and use it to generate power.

If someone is strafing around you, then use /face, rather than posting yet another moan about how blah did blah and therefore is teh suxxor. I think Mythic would do us all a favour if they made a special arena where all the tossy wankspammers can go and have thier wonderful duals and stop bending our ears about it.

Personally i'm crossing my fingers for a server to pop up that requires an entrance exam and an age limit. That way i'll be able to play with people that are both literate and mature. I won't hold my breath though.

 

[Sendraks]

Mids add on kills just as much and as badly as Albs do.

As for Snortn's comments on hunting Thid for RPs, well that depends on the individual doesn't it? Tbh I'd rather people hunted for RPs in Thid and played for fun in RvR, it would make the game more enjoyable. But it seems nearly everyone in Alb RvR these days is an RP whore. I've watched many, many, many times, high RR fgs of albs lurk behind lower RR level groups and wait for them to encounter the enemy, get killed and then the high RR albs sweep in, mop up the Mids/Hibs and then rush off without even bothering to rezz. Thats sad. Thats the kind of thing that should remain confined to the battlegrounds IMO. Its worse than zerging, its using own realm mates to earn you RPs. Might as well go play on the PvP server and stab your realm mates in the back properly.

If I'm soloing in Thid, I tend to avoid adding on any lone stealther 1 on 1s, because people QQ if you help them out. Fine, by me. If you lose, I will step in and mop up the winner (if its not alb), because I'm not daft and a kill is a kill.

 

[Archeon]

Personally I find some peoples sense of 'honour' is very situational. They'll kick up a storm if they think you've added on them but they won't stop to think before 'helping' you.

That said I do try to avoid adding on 1v1 fights (watched a few from stealth, but i'm not going to do somthing stupid like destealth just to show people that "Oh i'm a good person and not adding on your duel") - the only exception will be if sombody does add on the duelers, at which point I will just start shooting (usually at the adder, though I have been known to go for the easy kill from time to time)

However I enjoy playing my Hunter, so I try to keep killing down to a minimum so I don't have to reroll

 

[Chronictank]

has it ever occured to u that some of us like 1 on 1 duels?
its not about being l33t its about enjoying the game the way you like it. I enjoy sb cus when im solo and i kill something i get enjoyment out of it. I for 1 dont add, nor do i destealth to let my presance be known, normally i will hide in the shadows waiting for the inevitable add so i can take them out. People may get annoyed cus i dont help them, but those are the kind of people who play for rps not enjoyment so i lose no sleep over it (thats a figure of speech).
But then saying that alot of people who want to solo run where the main thid taffic goes which is just plain stupid and deserve to get added on.

 

[Sendraks]

Of course it has. Not everyone adds and some will add under certain circumstances. If I see what looks like duel going on and I'm in FG I will instruct my group not to add. Believe me its something I, and I'm sure others do as well, respect.

People may get annoyed cus i dont help them, but those are the kind of people who play for rps not enjoyment so i lose no sleep over it (thats a figure of speech).

Actually, how are they playing any less for fun than you are? Just because you get your kicks in a different way, doesn't mean that your way is any more fun for you than there's is for them. I really, really enjoy not dying in RvR/BG combat. Not being dead rules. If I'm in a 1 vs 1 fight and I'm losing, I'd really rather have some help from my realm mate. Thats what the purpose of being in a realm is, that we help each other. I expect my realm mates to help me, if only because the sense of working in union is as much fun as the not dying.

Of course, if I need help I'll be spamming /yells or whatever. I expect my realm mates, regardless of class, to fulfill their role and assist me. I'm not about farming RPs, but I am also equally not about dying either.

But then saying that alot of people who want to solo run where the main thid taffic goes which is just plain stupid and deserve to get added on.

Nononono. You can't have one rule for one and one rule for another. I agree that if you want 1 vs 1 duels then the onus is on you to avoid fights in areas where adding is likely, but its wrong to say that a person deserves to get added on. If it is a blantantly obvious duel, irrespective of area, then you shouldn't add. Just because a person is duelling on a major route of traffic does not grant carte-blanche to whoever wants to add to do so.

Excatly, u do not need to de-stealth to let anyone be awere of u, just do /clap or whatever

 

[Formash]

hunt for RP in thid, i can understand that some do (noobs and such), but most of us don't
he whould get 1 rp from killing me, and the other too sb's 1 rp

Not necessarily - if you hadn't died for a while, you would be worth 3 RP's, same for the SB's.

I know its not much 1 / 3 RP's but its a difference.

Personally if it was me, i'd just be glad to get an RP, and not die.

It has occurred to me many times that people like one on one duels. I only have to read the spam in here about it very regularly. Its the same posts, over and over again, and it's dull.

Maybe i'll create a toon called "Addsalot" and only obtain rps by adding in stealther duels, if thats the way i like to play (thats a sarcastic and inflamatory comment, designed to annoy people).

Has it occurred to you that some of us just dont care one way or the other? Why not just enjoy the duels you get, when you get them, and otherwise not drone on about it?

I guess what it boils down to is that i prefer an unfair fight to a fair one. Thats war. I want you dead, and me alive, and i'll play as dirty as i can to achieve that end.

 

[Narzeja]

exactly! too many people spend way too much time and energy complaining about non-soloing stealthers. In that time, they could've had plenty of 1v1 duels!
I played my slashfiltrator today for 2 hours or something and had more solo fights than I have fingers and toes, some better than others ofc. T'was nice fighting all you mids'n'hibs today, I had fun!


... and btw:

Not necessarily - if you hadn't died for a while, you would be worth 3 RP's, same for the SB's.

I'm worth 4 rp's, only because I always solo (*begins shining my halo*)

I dont whine im simply replying to your post, if i die /rel /return
Makes no difference to me whatsoever since i know i would have won/lost the given fight.
I play for fun not rp's

Nice reply mate

 

[Balthus]

No matter what you do u cant win so imo its your game,do what you want.
I have both a huntress called Kitycat and a sb called Bladebabe who are both always solo and 99% time unbuffed,only time they buffed is if some1 is buffing at random as i never ask for any.
I was on MB las night and saw an inf and sb fall over each othr an start fightin,was pretty fair as neither got a pa in,now to let the inf know i was there i walked into the middle of the fight,bowed and walke off to the side leaving them to it.The inf won and b4 u could say "I like my beer ice cold" he hits me and starts fighting me OFC he got spanked but then as i ran off an sat down to rest up as i had no end left a scout walks past me an aims down towards me,we go at it and another inf adds,i die (only just tho as the scout nearly died and i fought the whole fight with no styles due to ooe) and watch the pair run off side by side.
Its also now that i notice a PM from the sb telling me that some help on his fight with the inf wouldnt have been to much to ask 4 lol
You just cant win,yo add ppl come to FH an whine.
You dont add and the winner turns on you then his m8s add on you anyway and you get a pm from the dead guy moaning that u didnt add :eek2:

Thats great to hear Chronictank.

The "you" i was referring to was a general one though, aimed at not only the person that started the thread, but at the people that seem to feel that in some way coming here and starting a thread moaning about how one person or another plays the game is in some way going to make a difference, other than bore the people that read FH by repeating the topic of an old thread over again. Actually i'm starting to question why i'm bothering. Ahh well i've started now.

For everyone's reference, heres our regular bunch of threads:

Omg u added me cuz u r loser.
Omg y dint u help? u r loser (somewhat ironic given the first on the list)
Haahaha @ <someone/somewhere> u r loser.
Rofl @ <inset realm here> u r all loser.
I've rolled new BG toons and i'm brilliant. You will all die. u r loser.
..and so on.

Horribly true. :worthy:

I think in future I wont read any of the actual threads, I'll just re-read this, safe in the knowledge that I havent missed anything.

Saw a 1 on 1 SB v Infi fight on my NS in Thid - fair fight then 2nd Infi added - so I popped on him - result 2 dead Infi's both me and SB nearly dead - quick bow and we went our separate ways - was nice coudl have fought it out with SB but /bow was a nice touch - forgot SB's name so can't say Hi

Hunter Purplepixie - was fun - kept finding her on pillar at MB - a few kills from her soon stopped hiding up there - was deadly to our casters she killed loads - played

Its Pixiepurple by the way.
I did also let a few hibbies through, i just kept /wave /kiss /dance at them, was very funny to watch them turning around trying to find me, but i did get spotted few times, :worthy: nice one.
But i could'nt help myself other times

 

[Coldbeard]

Try to help when I see an enemy getting outnumbered ( by other enemies , for instance 2 infils vs 1 ranger ) too with my sb but always end up getting asskicked by both sides

 

[Regnorm]

How come Mid Sb/hunters always travel in duo or more?

a *ALB* ahem.. ahem.. *INFIL*.. sayin that?.. ahem.. :touch:
NICE ONE!

 

[WiZe^]

Change 2,5 specc for solo SB ? diden't think so so stfu
tbh i allways solo, am to rude as a person that i cant grp xD

 

[Ixu]

Yep, i duo most time. With hunter i duo, with warrior atm i duo etc. It's more effective and funnier than soloing. And maybe the biggest reason is that there aren't enough soloers for solo

 

[Narzeja]

I always solo, I got plenty to kill ... /ponders
