Thidranki - PK Camping

[DookPug]

First off, I realise ALOT of the players in there are newbies, this isn't what this thread is about.

I'm sure everyone who has been to Thidranki has seen the guys running around in full black with a flaming weapon. One word; Alts.

So I ask you this, at peak times with 20+ Middies online in the BG and half of them being players Alts, why do I still find myself trying to pull a group happily camped infront of an enemy PK away from it?

I paid a visit there yesterday on my newly levelled Thane and for god sakes it was a mess. Almost every char there was an Alt, and I found myself standing around in a group of 15+ camping at the bottom of the APK and getting sniped by Scouts and destroyed by Infs. What were we doing in response?

"Trying to lure out the minstrel"

...One clueless Skald in full black with a rather large flaming sword said.

I implore all of the Alts there to stop this degrading and completely unworthy tactic that NEVER works and only ends up in us getting picked off one by one and the resident Healer running out of mana. Alot of the players there are Mains and we don't want their first RvR experience to be one of camping PKs and perpetual dying.

This is an inter-realm problem. Thing is that the people whose PK is being camped have a HUUUUUUUGE advantage and usually this ends ín half of the group with res sickness or dead and then the people in the PK have time to gather and finally run you over, almost every time...
Funniest is when some shout "Let's charge the PK" and usually I reply "Go on, you lead... I bet you can down a few guards by yourself even."

SFXman is right... it's generally the realm that holds the centre keep that does the camping, from what I've seen so far. Mids were doing it last night too, till we took the keep back off em

 

[SFXman]

They really are not left with much to do... defending your center keep the whole time is just boring since it is not like everytime an attack arrives there are 30 of them and a few rams..

Since the first coupla days the BG's have become boring as hell - half the time nobody bothers to go there so its empty and the other half is spent camping Port Keeps which is truly dull - instead of giving people forts they should get rid of them all and port people into a random location in the zone - now that would be fun

If I want an RVR fix I do real rvr - anyone coming to the BG at twenty will probably get discouraged as it stands

Shame - its a good idea to have closed level areas for rvr but it doesnt seem to be fun anymore - please help?

Plus why do skalds keep running into enemy range because although I've seen plenty of dead/injured skalds I havent seen anyone fall for it and chase them ???

..........

In my opinion, having a fort with guards in the center of the battlegrounds was a bad idea.

The center should have been made to cater for large scale battles, with hills, groups could have put catapults on them and such.....

All it means is warfare is kept at Portal keeps and bridges which isn't fun after a while because realms are wary about getting to close to other realms in case they pull guards.

It's a shame there wasn't a war torn town in the middle come to think about it...........

:Halo imagines being able to stealth through houses finding hiding groups and realm bases:

 

[sherazade]

great idea, they could have placed a small village in the center, in thidranki maybe a copy of mag mell, in the second bg mularn and in the third maybe cotswold. So they wouldnt have to do it all new and from scratch.

But is suppose its because people need a place to practise keep defense

Leave the group if someone goes to camp pk.
Do not rez the campers.
Do not warn about stealthers.
Do not help them in combat.
Do not heal the campers.

Oh yeah and keep hoping one of them pulls the guards.
