to go solo

[Yaemon]

prob with that is albs hardly ever have DF ..Grrr .. we get DF for about 10 mins then someone else has got it uke:

well.. you should'nt have any problems getting the numbers for a retake

 

[Belomar]

last time, when I soloed, I met some rr3 paladin :x .. I killed him ;(

Must have been a strange experience when you grappled him and he didn't die!

if u wanna be really mean - dont kill them, just shear thier buffs so they have to attempt to sneak back to tk without getting wtfpwnd

lol, that is hillarrrrrious, even worse than killing them in a way... at least if they died they pretty much go back to being a few safe minutes away from the buffbot

tbh, in todays daoc it's impossible to solo without spending 90% of your time on sendingpad. (think a little before you start the "NO I CAN SOLO JUST FINE, IM SO UBER" - posts)

I can solo perfectly fine, ofc i die lots to superior numbers, but hey i have fun still

but most fun is 2-4 people you can really have a blast then, allways most fun if you have the odds against you

Hehe, ported to odins once by a mistake so ran out to find a quick death. 5-6 albs came, "great" i thought and sat down and took shields down to make it even quicker... Unfortunately they let me live so i began /begging them to kill me, debuffing pets rooting etc. untill they decided to take my life: Thank You!

 

[Lothandar]

QQ etc

 

[Downanael]

I killed grey once i still regret it

Lothandar, i must have seen your sig 100 times but it still makes me chuckle

 

[Coldbeard]

cant do a shit without buffage , unbuffed vs buffed is such an uneven match

 

[Kagato]

If you want to solo without speed or stealth then you have to learn the terrain fast and well.

Soloers and duo teams will usually go off the main roads and use the less travelled zone walls, and can usually get away with travelling through mob aggro areas the full groups avoid for convieniance sake. That is for odins at least, Hadrians wall is much more open, theres less chance of getting run over by full groups, but theres also less areas to hide, you pretty much have a triangular route between Beno, MMG and HMG, those are the only areas you will stumble on other people (friend or foe) but theres less places to hide or get the drop on someone.

If you don't want to run up to HW then just go off-road in odins and hope for the best, very rarely a group will let you live, but don't expect it, it generally only happens if you have a friend in the enemy realm whos a quick typer

 

[gritzy]

if u cant solo with a pally make a char that is more suited to soloin.
etc
etc

 

[Ziz]

<raises hand> Silly unbuffed mostly solo rr2 NS here...pheer m3

 

[Meduza]

Run odins solo two or three times and die to fg+ hibs/albs, then go back with a few others and kill all

only becuz im not there anymore leading teh zerg!

 

[Elahim]

I have been trying to solo with my pally for a few days now, it would be oki if it wasnt for all those FGs that just have to kill u on sight, what i wonder is it really worth to kill a lonely soloer what u get 200rps or something. What happend to those ppl who respected soloers and let em have their minifights, is it all just about RPS and pwing nowdays??? For me the game is more about nice figths then lots of RPs.. so just wanted to know what u think in this matter... so lets start the flaming shall we

Blame the summer Treon! Soon, when the summer is over (was there even one?) GGs will be back on track, and you wont have to solo at all

 

[BaTDiE]

Treon as you know already solo with a tank is as fun as hard, but whine about those groups that kill you 3fg vs 1 and then do /rude and /laugh at you, will not change nothing, they will still doing same thing on you :>

 

[Raven]

personally i find fg rvr one of the most boring things in this game, to much waiting around for people to arrive, getting the right group members etc zerg warfare (equal numbers, not 10fg albs vs 3 fg hibs) can be a lot of fun but the only reason i play this game now is to solo, you cant beat the buz of taking down 3 infils that are stupid enough to jump a druid standing right infront of you, hi washington and co
Full groups will always run over soloers, it only takes 1 or 2 of them to go for you and the rest will usually follow, all you can do is /release and go elsewhere, Hadrians is sometimes good but more often than not totally empty. Odins you will get run over by a lot of mini groups or even the odd full group. DF is the best place to solo imo though mids tend to just camp thier entrance so now and again you will have to gather a few people to go and clear it.

HW seems to be completely empty these days, other than people passing through to xp artis or raise flags at our keeps. Shame as pre-TOA it used to be great for solo and especially for small group RvR.

Good solo action can be had in Odin's and Emain, especially at off-peak hours. Also Doden's is great, and sometimes Marfach too - the innocents aggroing now can be annoying but you get lots of people xping stuff down there so it's worth the trip even if you do become a leper. The really good thing is people have to take their bots in with them so everyone is double rp. I've never really liked DF.

Agree with Kagato about having to really know the land if you want to solo effectively as a class without stealth/speed - after all half the battle of being any good at soloing is being able to pick your fights, and avoid fgs who will only very rarely let you live (which you can't really begrudge them for).

hrm might have to try out dodens sometime

best fight I had was getting the drop on a zerker + bot who'd just killed teh missus's paladin at ravenclan in pennines - the zerker almost got me... close one (nerf det!) and the bot got away after trading a dot for a smite unfortunately but was fun

Hrm actually the best fight was one that lasted about 3 hours with a shaman in sauvage - first encounter involved lots of aggroing monsters and healfonts, lots of running around but he eventually won (3s to mcl! gah!) - couldn't do enough damage to kill him before stun wore off and he kept sprinting away to heal.
Ten minutes later met him again on sauvage road - couldn't kill the bugger but I had fonts set up this time so he couldn't kill me.

Eventually the stalemate broke with a passing scout shooting him ah well
