What happen on Albion

ALB HIB MID

Last week RP 11,275,045 (28%) 13,006,793 (32%) 15,960,025 (40%) 40,241,863


Go out and play albies :/

 

[Aldrick]

Not easy to clear 60-100? odd mids or more when most are high rr and set groups kind of when they are 5-10s apart :/

The point is, the groups that atm go out cant win over most of the groups out in emain when noone gets adds. Ofc the mid pop wont be smaller then. And yesterday we fought only one fight where there where adds, still ppl didnt come back

I can understand how frusturating it must be to be an alb atm read on irc one time that 1 fg hadent passt amg for 3h sad really imo. So just curious if albs could brief me in alittle. not enough rvr guilds atm or ppl just bored going to emain and get farmed by "rvr grps" or ? whatever reason just would like to know

I still solo sometimes, tho I hate doing so as i get farmed by a fg before i even pass grannies, i simply do so couse I can't get a decent group
Random groups seem extinct and apart from the pe/fl group running around there's hardly decent gg's afaik.

 

[leviathane]

your a gimp tho straef ^^ stlong guild hoper

 

[kermylicious]

i blame toa ^^!

I've actually found it alot better these last few days, people finally seem to be going to odins for some rvr so spreading out the amount of people in one zone.

I still find it frustrating putting together groups though as there are endless ML raids and artifact hunts, but least its improving a bit. Main problem is rvr is more often than not depressing if you haven't got a decent set group, and so people simply stay away and pve.

Nobody likes to be farmed continously but a few fun night's rvr and peeps will be out more i think

nothing to do with insane imbalance of the realms at all.

 

[atos]

I c, time to go solo thane between amg and apk then. Strong RPs!

Have to say I usualy agree with you on your posts, and I do with this one to a degree, Albion's visibles are lacking on a whole.

But lets face it, you gave up on that, no? Your playing "Easy-Mode" as Albion definetly has the upperhand in the stealth war. So you cant talk imo

 

[Smurflord]

Tbh, I just think a lot of albs at the moment are tired of getting farmed etc as people have pointed out. They also know that NF will make a slightly more level playing field in RVR, so many, like me, are just concentrating on PVE and getting ready for NF with new alts, MLs etc.
Jsut look at the sheer number of ML raids being run these days.

nothing to worry about atm, but Mids plan some big ML raid and make sure you realy to suiside out

 

[Vorna]

Me and my Roadie hav been runnin around as a duo or sumtimes in groups of 3-4 lately its quite fun a lot of the time other than when u get rolled but hey shit happens. But weve been able to hav a few good fights and get a few rp with cleric and sorc warders. I agree that its pretty hard to run an opted grp in alb but it can still be fun with small groups.

 

[Luona]

Eroda Glad to hear we had some encounters in odins wendsday evening and was real fun. And just over the last few days you seen more and more alb grpas comming back to emain *sigh* and to more active in odins. hopefully we can get hadrians back to rvr alittle more aswell

 

[fungus]

rvr sucks to be middi often to atm, cause so few albs and hibbis.

Its often 3groups thats opted atleast of middis.
Albs PE and now maybe FL if they continue.
And hibbi got AD it seems, i hope to see TDD,Eclipse,NP.
And more alb opted groups to come.

Blejs the only TDD u will see for a while is prolly puppet, neea and reza playing their Ranger's , rest of us playing camlan atm with JH. With NF at hand "which will promote zergs even more", there wont be much room for opted 8vs8, and thus less fun(for me at least).

Running in small groups of 3-4 is indeed fun, and very rewarding when you take out a fg Myself, Penitent, Tanita and sometimes Ilias run like this nowadays. Give more small group fights

There are very few other Severance online these days, apart from our trusty stealther friends. Most have quit due to various factors (not all RvR related - general boredom / RL mainly ) and I can't see NF helping

Mad.

Penitent = a VW? wtf is this strange creature you speak of?

Agree though, we've had a lot of fun doing smaller scale RvR over the last few weeks and have really enjoyed the odd occassion of meeting other groups of 3-4.

Sure it's annoying getting run over by fg's, but with the odds being 3 vs 8 we're not exactly expected to put up a decent fight. It's nowhere near as frustrating as running a fg and getting ganked by the same gg's/adds in emain over and over.

It would be great if more people decided to try smaller scale RvR. Even better if they started running Odins/HW.

 

[Kerig]

I think the problem with Prydwen RvR has always been a dual issue comprising, a) low overall server population, and b) high proportion of "hardcore" 8v8 RvR guilds.

Whilst neither of these by themselves on a server is much of an issue, both combined on Prydwen mean that RvR for the average alb player is absolutely shite, and has been for 12 months or more. Which is why weve all quit/moved servers/rerolled stealthers or only PvE.

Maybe with NF the randoms will return and the hardcore reroll on camlann. If not just have to get prydwen classed as a PvE server.

If ther is one thing that would solve a lot of the problems give stealt h a fookin HUGE nerf.

I would love to rvr with my reaver but as a low rr toon with no purge and no det, insta evrything and a stealth zerg add plus the 28 effects abusers = no rvr.
I dont pay so some arsehole can farm me evry 30 seconds and then boast about how l333t they are.

You want albs / hibs to come out more maybe u should think about how the game is being destroyed, at least the rvr, by the tactics being used atm.

Our guild is currently getting as many members as possible artis and ml's so that when the NF relic reset comes out we can go and have a look again and see if there's any point in rvr - tbh if NF doesnt make a significant change then Prydwen will die because lots of us are already considering other games / servers.

Its perhaps a bit harsh to blame everything on stealtheradds and '28 effects abusers' - chaingrappling is incredibly gay, there really should be an immunity timer or something, its not like someone with a pure melee char would ever rvr otherwise - and you dont need savage selfbuffs to get 28 effects. Anyways call it abuse or whatever, but its not like its tipping the balance, mercs and bms hurt as well.

When it comes to stealther adds /shrug, have to expect both visible and non-visible adds at a milegate e.g., think hibs are hurt the most though, since they usually have a relatively lower number of stealthers out.

It might be true that its hard to get grps in alb, but really, make one yourself then, guildgrp or whatever, and go somewhere else, ofc you will get farmed at times, but having no det etc is a poor excuse its not like it takes very long to get a decent level of det.

Guess what I'm saying is that if you just give up on rvr beforehand because of low rr/no ras then you might as well play another game

SC recently started running a guildgrp again, and by all means, we are nowhere near uber, but we try to do a decent setup, have a variety of realmranks, usually a few below/around rr3 and 6-7 as highest, and have had some good fights in odins / hw, win some, loose some - but having a blast We used to have a severe lack of healers, which obviously hurts setup, but a few ppl levelled one, some old names returned - and yes, ofc its tough at first, at rr0 and no artifacts, but you gotta start somewhere

just my 2 cent

 

[nerfbbs]

Yes u do have to start somewhere but when even rr8 albs have to spend up to a couple of hours just to get thru a milegate what exactly is the reward for the time and effort ?

Dunno if u actually no anything about alb character but reavers cant get det no matter how many ra's they have.

 

[Ormorof]

neither can thanes but some of them seem to do ok

 

[Shadster]

wish people would stop whining about running emain getting ass kicked i.e the reaver. at least u can get rezzed /buffed bck up or sit on port and go get a drink while porting.

Im not whining cause i do not mind running to emain can get some good fights otw
but for hibbs to get emain OMG !!!!!

we have to run from ligen to ailinne and avoid stealthers and more stealthers

we have to run from ailinne to bolg avoid more stealthers /fg roaming

we have to run bolg to emain still avoiding stealthers and more fg roaming


and it takes a total of 12 mins for us to do this

if we do not have ailinne or bolg it puts prob another 4-5 mins ontop of that plus guard adds so please stfu about how bad albion have imo alb do quite well in rvr look at the rp per week before making coments on how crap alb is doing

if i go emain and die i have to do the same run again but if i get a kill and die im pleased seems strange but is true play hib one week and you will see

and if you not want to fight a stealther when leaving apk leave with a fg or a few others will save u from a PA just use ur brain

From a lowbie RR point of view

Let me put you in the shoes of someone who is trying to take his first RvR steps on alb/pryd, putting away the discussion regarding who's overpowered and who's not.

Typical RvR day for a merc <RR5.

Never tried going ALb frontier because I know there's no1 there.

Emain: I have to spend more than a couple of hours whinning around and begging for a spot in a group. Cant find one. Trying to go out there solo, getting ganked few steps after leaving apk repeatadly. Continue whining, and at some point I find a group. What sort of group? Absolutely random. Sometimes, I get the feeling that Clerics and Sorcerers and non-existant, even Paladins. We get out in this almost half-full, half-empty group, we're getting ganked few steps out of apk. On the 4rth try, group usually disbands.
Every now and then, I have the honour and luck to be part of a group which could be (with a bit of positive thinking) not exactly balanced, but promising. 2 Clerics, Sorcy, Pala, Merc bla bla. We cheer up a bit and we think we can get a decent fight and enjoy the RvR. We get ganked. ANd when I say ganked, I mean: out of nowhere, I get insta mezzed and nuked to space by high RR's, usually mids, sometimes hibs. And this nuking is so fast, I hardly manage to press purge. On the 5th try and gank by usually the same group, everyone gives up.
I try to rvr everyday the last month. Never attended a single ML raid, even for my arms who is few steps before ML8. But, in the end, is this fun? Getting farmed? I managed to collect 50k of rp's during this time and get myself to rr2L8, with sweat. Not to mention my way through RR1 to RR2. It was bitter.
Personally I'm waiting to see what happens when the infamous NF comes out. If this goes on like this even then, propably I will consider quiting the game. No meaning paying for something to have fun but not having fun at all.

Find some 7 decent guys, form your more or less fixed group and for god sake, go Odins or HW, Emain is a nonono at RR2 (TOAed?) tbh.

 

[Moriath]

Its quite funny seeing the gank groups who killed RvR in the first place whine cause theres no one willing to suicide on them now.

Perhaps they will die and we will have more random encounters instead of mid groups just doing laps of emain looking for ppl to kill

Prydwen lacks randoms to farm when this happens and thats the reason why some people really cant be bothered with prydwen.

If you cant see the problem when your writing like that, then I guess your not that smart.. Im sure many of us "casual" gamers play the game to be "farmed".....
No wonder casual groups dont move out anymore.. with that said i have to give mids a for running so many groups not based no RvR guilds. atleast 2-3 casual groups out running in emain these days.

Oh and a reason why albs dont succed in RvR can be found in the zerg. Lets say 3-4 mid groups roaming emain. usual bolg amg-mmg routes alb having a tough time getting passed amg since so many adds show up all the time, albs finally get a zerg to get passed amg... after albs have won that first fight this is what happens:

1. Albs setup camp at amg with both the zerg + 2-3fg stealthers... now this is asking to get wiped really. Mids usually just port out and buff up with there group and then move out in groups.. not a zerg yes.. but after 2-3 runs as mids finally see that those albs are sticking togheter they to will zerg up and go clear out amg.

2. The alb zerg just keeps on zerging running with no realm leadership or anything like a stampeeeed across emain usually run mpk and stand there in big zerg and try farming those that stick there nose out to far.. This again will either kill RvR or get you stupid albs wiped again as mids get tired and actually move out.

If albs just could roam emain some with there random groups it would really solve alot of problems but albs dont roam thats it.. only groups that roam are PE and 1 other group really. rest of albs are so fecking lazy all they can do is go amg and camp it... same goes for the alb stealthers. you dont see alb stealthers camping mpk road or even mmg anymore AND YOU GOT A STEALTHER TAXI.. so finally you stroll down to amg and get zerged bye the 2fg stealthers hanging around throwing SL and doing TS every now and then..

So to albs dont be so lazy start moving around you might actually find it fun..

 

[Oldfaravid]

but if you look at the statestics you will see 1500 ppl online on prydwen. Should be fair to say 400 hibbs, 550 mids 550 albs nowadays ? anyway , 70 of 550 rvring , 50 of 550 rvring 40 of 400 rvring ... what are the other 1300ish ppl doing ?
https://forums.freddyshouse.com/showthread.php?t=28114.

Hi Luon well atleast 1/3 or 1/4 or as "little" as 1/5th of those remaining are bbs... then count in the stealthers running around these days. rest you will find plvling alts or actually lvling up or doing mls and artifacts..
