Ok lets go back in time to the distant days long before NP, even arrived on Prydwen.

Albs would sit sulking on the hill of apk emain, getting nuked to death by everything the saw.. barely ever leaving apk hill... without getting shot to pieces by Del, thing, Blood, Sylvia. nuked by thina or melgor.. or simply flattened by Blej or Lokii.

Then the mids began to vanish.... the leaders left... SotL began to grow, and the tide began to turn. Albion, began to take relics at 7am on a sunday morning, the hibs woke up and began to stir.. all bit it at 6am every morning. Albions ever increasing numbers and faster xp gains began to take its toll.. the numbers game came inot there favour. At last a War had begun, relics would change hands mighty battles were fought over the relics. and the rvr world was at its peak. emain consisted of one side gaining dominance, over a mile gate be it mids at amg or albs at hmg... hibs they sat in hibernia going oh jolly nice weather. Venturing out occasionally to get ran over.

Meanwhile in midgard, the poor children of yggdra were under seige, being bucthered by the hundreds by rp horny infs... the RP tables were born.. RvR died!! No longer was it important to gain relics and items, and play the game as was inteded. No now being top of a rp chart was paramount. The Zergs were born, to feed the rp tables... albs got organised first, and teh zerg (tm) was born... LoE and SotL began to dominate the rvr arena of Emain. Midgard gave a good fight, but sadly internally it was in disarray. hibernia began to muster its strength... Still no NP.

Patch 1.54 arrives and the rvr world, goes from dying to very dead... the respecced dragonfang inf arrives by the hundreds... buffbots and power lvling become more important that grouping and meeting people.. cause the power of dfang would rule all... and rp is the most important thign in the game.

Midgard responds and the buffblade is born... all the decent old player of midgard vanish.. and a new breed of buffblade is born, to counter the fangfiltrator. Relics become a forgotten thing of the past. Occasionally midgard lauches a new assualt on a relic keep.. mirc begins to take its toll on relic raids. Raids get announced before they even happen. whispers of spies everwhere makes everyone paranoid, and insecure.

Still no Nolby Pride.......

Albions Dominance over rvr becomes concrete.... emain is theres, midgard is in total disarray.. it's alliance fragmented and shattered, not commuicating.. rarely even talking to each others. Guild decide they are better on their own and mini zergs appear... Warders recruit many a good player, and Blue zerg is born.. no wait they weren't a zerg... their rp income absorbs many who see rp totals as paramount... sotl and LoE are still at it, and rvr becomes more fragmented...

Meanwhile in Odins gate, a few mids stick up a good fight at keeping their realm safe, many good fights are had.. people enjoy it for a while... but all good things must come to an end. The zerglings get wind of the bounty in odins and come a looking.

Meanwhile somewhere deep inside hibernia Nolby Pride is born.

Relic status remains unchanged... midgard tires of assaulting keeps when albs so called spies ruin the raids.. plus they tire of the 7am raid regain them. The str Relics now firmly belong to Albion.

8pm on a sunday evening... 100 hibs walk down to grallarhorn take the power relics and leave before a mid even notices them. No hibernia has dominance over the power relics, and enough manachanters to ensure they never loose them... and enough albs on mirc willing to shout... oh 120 mids just zerged through emain wonder what they are up too.. hibernia suicides, and is waiting midgard.. same applies for the albs trying too.

The Relic status is set i stone, midgard begins to loose its will to fight. The once proud and resiliant Midgard defence of its keeps and frontiers fade. it stands floddering in the water, waiting for the final wave to sink it.

Nolby Pide Arrives.......

hibernia begins to get more bold... its members venture forth into the frontier, the battle is on a 3 front war has arrived. Nolby Pride begin to zerg.. a new thing people say... but ahhh people forget their history it is not.

Group designed around effectiveness and killing speed are born. Nolby Pride begin to farm.. killing albs and mids alike by the 100's.... Lamers, cheaters, Radar abusers are the cries. Out matched we are cause they cheat!!!!.... Ahhh the zerglings of old have lost their grip, and the world is no longer theirs to control.

But says this wise old Smurf Nolby Pride are nothing more than a new generation.. RP is still paramount. the tables are what counts. The may be new, but they are nothing new. they have not killed the rvr on this server many elements have, and many set long ago before they even arrived.

/bow to nolby pride.. you do your job well all be it in a zerg. But you do it well.

The corpse summoner is here... oh excellent way to make rp... sigh the summoner becomes more important than relics!!! The server has died....

The future who knows what that holds. Except somewhere out there in the shadows watching, observing and going about his own business is a kobold. and one day, like he did before, a mighty war he will wage, one that will rock the realms, and put the fight back into Midgard. so be fore warned Hibernia and Albion. the havoc Midgard cause last summer, is nothing compared to what is to come.

Nice historylesson

 

[mid_Efour]

Yeah durgi has it absoloutley true 100%

its uncanny but that is the way it was.....

In my Eyes the word "Zerg" has changed its deffonition from here comes the Hibbie Zerg ! to Nolby Pride ZErg!

zerg to me is and always will be 25+(usually alot more) randomly grped random con enemys attempting to kill enemy by sheer numbers. I remmber on a particular evening over hearing hear comes the hibby zoo! because so many pets in tow. trees, dogs, underhills.

NP zerg isnt a zerg TM. Its a sole purporse RvR pair/trio of groups designed purely around PBAoE (as im sure u have noticed) casting to kill enemys. Sure its fun for them, but fun for no one else on the receiving end. Im not sure why they left Excal- maybe becasue they see hibbys and thought ! wow i wanan be liek that! im not sure why they left cam? maybe cos they came up against people better than them employing the same basic tactics?? I cant understand the challenge of repeating the same old thing over and over and over until everyone is RR10? then then what? try it again as albs?

Pure RvR quilds will always dominate casual players that want soem qwik fun in emain- Np is destroying the casual fun with its devistating. well put together 1 hibby tactic.

What do u do when u have finished owning? u guys moving to SWG? or back to excal, where u never could quite rule the server?

love u really

[klavrynd]

Even though some part of it is true, using NP as a scapegoat (sp?) is just too easy (and i don't like NP).

Just after the DF patch the quality of rvr improved; more and more fg vs fg battles happened. Approx 2 weeks later we saw the phenomenon called the loe zerg, which dominated (as far as you can call it dominating that is) emain . amg and mmg camping became a habit and if you did happen to go solo there was allways some sad zergfil (or buffblade) and his posse of other sad stealth wankers waiting for you close to the pk.

Then NP hit the big 5-0 and started coming to emain. 2fg of players that actually know what they are doing, playing overpowered classes, can ravish 3 if not 4 fg of mindless zergling albs rather easily and other hibs seeing this thought "hey if they can , we might as well" effectivly drawing hibs out of the safe zones behind the ligen walls.

People decided they needed more people to counter the hibs and we're on the merry go round where you just need to outzerg.

I'm fairly sure that in 2 or 3 weeks rvr will straighten out a bit again, with new people dinging 50 on their si alts giving the old golf course another try.

Just a tad offtopic with the obligatory np "whine":

whenever there's tons of albs in emain NP go "whoa rvr rocks tonight" . Ever wondered why they stay on prydwen when they like zergs so much? maybe because they got "owned" by hib guildgroups the likes of vgn or la continuously , getting second thoughts about levelling chars in the most gimped realm and deciding they want to be overpowered as well ...

We enjoy DAOC and RVR. To have the ability to play on two servers whenever one of the servers is having a bit of a bad patch when it comes to RVR is great. Like now most people are back on excal because of the lack of decent fights on prydwen.

What I personally enjoy about prydwen is that, in comparison to excal, there is hardly any milegate camping. This leads to a higher probability of fg vs fg encounters and definitely lessens the zerging mentality. People will have to get used to coming back instead of logging after a deficit.

I agree with the poster who made the comment that it could be ruining the casual rvr players experience. Estoric and sharma are just lashing out at us, albeit hypocritically when it comes to zerging, because they are these kind of casual rvr players who won't stand a chance in random pickup groups with random classes. We've been beaten and still had some amazingly fun fights with SOTL/BAF/Warders.

All the accusations of cheating are ridiculous considering we have an E&E in our guild who wouldn't think twice about reporting us if he suspected foul play.

Whine, whine, whine.

Nice History Durgi.

Whine, whine, whine.

I've played on Prydwen for a long time, I know what the RvR was like and is now. TBH, I cant find much difference.

There is always people who don't like the current situation. There are always people who whine about something that just is part of the game.

Dont loose your faith, we aint unbeatable. Fuckin show you are worth the RPs you give. Mrmmrmrmmr... Quitters.

 

[old.Sko]

Just stay around people for 1.6X series. Dont go back on exal. hehehehe....

 

[Cush]

Without a pure rvr guild that consentrate 100% on rvr its a bit hard since you often end up in random groups with ppl that you dont know. And way to often in those groupd 2 ppl tend to be afk most of the time.. another is watching a movie and is semi afk and another is soo damn rp horny they stay way in the back so they will die last. That leaves you with 4 ppl actualy playing which makes it rather hard to take on another full group in combat

This is only what i have experienced from random grouping. Hence i dont do it anymore

And atm i dont think there is that many RvR guilds going with enough numbers to put up a fight

 

[zapzap]

2 fg hibs will 8 out of 10 times dominate 2 fg mids or albs on this server, reason is GP will probelly be up 8 out of 10 times.
Put chanters uberness into that and 2fg v 2fg is gonna be go hib way, getting hit by a chanter 3 x 600 with 32 % resist on my healer is ZzZzZzZ .
Making a Mid group as it is, we cant get the same element into a group as hib can, maybe if SM would gimp them self and be a third option healer or messer but naaaa we want see many of them.
For Mids.
Need rm ( pulse ) cant so much more then NS then
Need healer ( pac ) small heals and buffs
Need skald ( speed ) DD and single mess
Need shammy ( end and buffs ) small heal
Need tank
Need tank
Need SM or rm
Need healer ( healing ) buffs

Nice group if mezz would stick but against GP and purge they dont have enough mele or nuke power.

For hibs
Need warden ( pulse) heal + buffs
Need Druid ( Heal + buffs + GP )
Need bard ( end + cc + speed ) DD buffs and can hit if needed
Need tank
Need tank
Need chanter
Need chanter
Need mentalist ( all depending how he spec he can help either with power heal stun mezz or damage.

Very nice group sure beat the mid group must of times. More damage no matter in caster or mele.


Dont blaim NP blaim Picking wrong realm or Mythic giving so much love to hibs

[old.Sko]

lol that's not for long. phear teh nerfbat

 

[old.XanateA]

Flattering to say the least.

Alot of people here know what they talk about, thanks for history on prydwen.
I know you will whine on this etc, but the reason we chose Hib on pryd was that it was underpopulated,only hold 23% of total rp.
We would have played Alb if Hibs or Mids were superior, but they werent.. alb was.
IMHO a perfect Mid group is far better than a perfect Hib group. BUT its easier to make a perfect groups in hib.
Warden,Druid,Bard are all essential to a hib group. add 5 random classes to it, then go rvr.

A perfect mid group NEEDs: Skald x1,aug healer x1,pac healer x1
aug/mend shaman x1,6s pbt rm x1 and 3 zerks
Making a group like that is very hard tho, mid groups usually tend to have max 1 healer,~2 rms, 4 tanks, which makes them way to vulnerable.

I hope that everyone who whines on us zerging because we kill superior numbers to us with NEVER more than 2fg, and usually only 1 fg are doing nothing but giving us compliments.
We all know ur lying, ur just making up alot of shit so you will feel less owned.

Again, all false zerg and radar whine is nothing but flattering to me, keep it coming!!!

 

[old.Gombur Glodson]

Don't see what NP has done to ruin rvr.

Afaik there has been way bigger zergs and I have only seen them run in 2fg (which isnt really a zerg)
Though I must admit I prefer them running in 1fg cause even for a balanced alb group it is a bit tough to compete 2fg balanced hibs, and running around 2fg isnt my cup of tea.

Funny thing is, that we've been complaining about hibs not doing rvr and not showing themselves in emain and when they finally do we lose some of the good mids who used to come

 

[Esoteric]

Lovely story nemesisgm.

We'll see in 1.60.

One thing I want people to understand is that I have no problem in being pwnd in a damn good fight. Getting zerged over and over is not fun and at the end of the day if its not fun why bother.

 

[old.Gombur Glodson]

You dont think it's fun being zerged and you cant bother going to emain, then why bother posting a thread complaining here?

[old.Gombur Glodson]

You notice the name of this forum? RvR Discussions

I don't know about you but when I see someone having a discussion in real life, I dont go up to them and say "Test"
"It works"

So perhaps you should take your tests and dumb drivel somewhere else, and let us have a discussion without you interupting it.
Thank you.

[old.Nedowiz]

For months during last year Hibs got run over time after time after time by bigger numbers cause we simply did not have the equal number of lvl50s.......now we do and then it's all of a sudden killing the server??? Get a grip......how many did not leave Hib when we were on the side being constantly crushed by bigger numbers? But that did not kill server....noooooo then you were winning.....

 

[Ardrias_Mid]

Calling someone a roleplayer because they disagree with you? What an.... insult? Hey roleplayer! You suck! You can use your brain! Oops, guess I went off-topic too.....
