whats with the zergging tonight?

[censi]

Why have 5 fg of middies been camping AMG odins for about 4 hours?? Middies are generally like hibbies but I have never b4 seen you camp a place like that??? maybe you got sick of the huge alb zerg in emain or summin but thats no reason to turn Odins into the same thing?

No comment about albion zergging emain all night as we are all used to it, but Odins used to be fun.....

Dunno about you but when I loggin to DAOC I just wanna join up with my guild and go hunt some enemies?? I find camping with a zerg pretty dull and unchallenging....

RVR is getting a tad boring... I am trying to remain unbiased when I say this but I think Albion are really destroying this game buy massing togther like they do.... I just cant understand why they do it all the time?

ok flame whine or whatever this post is who cares, but could someone from albion take a bit of initiative and co-ordinate your forces a bit more widespread or sumin....

perhaps someone from albion can explain where this zerg mentality comes from???

(must say though respect to outlaw and herbal and co for actually staying away from the zerg and having a try, but as for the rest of you, your really making this a dull game)

lol

But yeah I'd like to know why you middies ruined the fun in odins.. not nice being ganked by ~3 fg's.

 

[Bleeker]

as always its albions fault....

 

[Kagato.]

5FG of middies and still no smarter then your average dumb troll

That zerg ran by me 3 times without spotting me, who needs stealth when you can just hide behind trees

Had a few nice solo and small group fights though before the zerg finally caught up with me so odins isn't a total loss yet.

But seriously though, lets keep odins zerg free, 2, 3 ,5 fg's or whatever aint gonna get much rps out of a few people looking for solo fights compared to emain so leave odins to us duelers.

 

[skile]

Us and Illuminati were planning a keeptake on bleedmer. About 20 mins before it started we heard hibs were attacking it and it was defended by large numbers, so we changed plans... Lets go for blendrake. But as the hibs lured the mids out in the fronteir the mids ofc wanted some more action and checked amg. And here they met our raid with 3fg's and a group of HB and some others. We face these mids whom were at Bleedmer earlier and as the romour grew more mids were drawn to the fight.

Hibs lured em out.

 

[Khalen]

Aye indeed hibs lured the mids by taking Nott

 

[old.LandShark]

47 hibs at benowyc right now
ZERG OMFG!£ ¬

 

[Bure Ygg]

Ofc mids defend odin's it is our frontline thats why Mythic built MG's there this it still Realm v Realm

So why are you not defending your frontline ? easier to stand on a TP and go emain

[-deedee-]

LOl guys let we be fear: We all zerg.

I tried to move without the zerg but when i walk 10 mins without the zerg i am dead because a other realm is zerging
We can't change this alone
A other reason there are so much zerg can be we have a lott off lvl 50 these days and a lott off all lvl 50 ( iam not accusing anybody) knows only amg - mill - dcx- mmg and back .
I dont know the way in odins even but iam trying to learn that
But when we have 45 ppl in emain who only knows how to walk to amg ect they stand togheter because you always meet a other group there and when the see Death messages the walk to the place where The 'fun"is

and i really dont like the zerg iam a sorc and when i select a targett and the '"zerg" kill my targett iam to late easy like that and realmpoints going not really fast in a 'zerg' you get 5 realmpoints and 1 bounty point YEah then iam happy you know what i mean Grews are better realmpoints

Oke enough winning here now gl you all with trying to stopp the zerging.

Sorry for my bad bad englisch

that's a rather biased statement bud, but I'll answer it none the less.

Think about ATK and MTK.

Think about the Hib BK (border keep).

Hibs can come and go out of emain as they like at any time.

Albs and Mids come into emain once every 10 or so minutes.

Ok, now let me set up an analogy.

Turn on a faucet in your bathroom and let the water make a small trickle. Put your hand under the water and let it fill up.

Once every 10 minutes, release the water from your hand into the drain.

This is basically how we get large numbers in emain so fast.

Now the reason we stick together is a completely different story. This isn't a 'OMFG W3 G0T N3RF3D 2 FUK1NG H311!' statement, but whether you like it or not, Albion as a realm is not as good as Hibernia or Midgard as a realm. This is apt to be fixed soon, but as it stands atm, this is true. We have figured this out over a period of time and have found it much safer and much less aggrovating to just stick together and 'zerg'.

If you ran out into a frontier solo, and got killed by 2 people, are you going to go back again and again solo to try to kill them?

No, you're going to get a partner or a few people to go and kill them. When they get killed by xxx many people, they get that many people and come back and kill you, so on and so forth.

Maybe this will clear things up about the general zerging all the time... But then again, there are always a few that ignore the message and continue saying 'OMFG U Z3RG U L4M3 4SS!!@!@!1!'...

 

[benedictine]

well said trin

 

[Arnor]

yeah


and at a given time it was no less than 90! mids at amg in odins


but yeah, it was the keeptake-attempts that lured us out

 

[-Executor-]

The action tonight:

Porting Odins, heading AMG, zerged by 6-7fg mids - /release

Going Emain, killing some GoZ (Guardians of Zerg) near Crim, heading tower, zerged by 4-5 fg albs - /release

Going Emain again, heading MMG, finding 1fg mids and killing them, 1fg albs added, we kill them, another 2fg albs added, some nice mezz by our bards so we doing ok but... 2fg more albs added - /release

Porting Odins in case the mid zerg has scattered, killing 1fg mids near amg, 5-6fg mids added - /release

Heading TNN to craft and voila! a hib zerg...

 

[Apathy]

Oh God? Question marks are zerging Censi's posts?

Someone stop it? Because it's getting really bad?

I think the only way to stop the zerg is to post about it on BW? Then maybe everyone will think "Damn, they are so right? I should give up my zerging ways and always go solo?"?

Whinge whinge pointless whinge?

a.
?

[old.Xarr]

there were some pretty cool fights in odin's gate tonight zerg or no zerg

 

[optical-]

Albs zerg emain cause they cant be arsed to look for their own fights. Take away the milegates, that way they got nowhere to bundle together.

proof of my above post, some people never change though I do agree MGs should be taken down

Yes, please... take away the milegates so theres one less place for 5-6 fg of Mids / Hibs to hide and ambush us!

 

[bracken_woodman]

<sigh> Here we go again. Its a "my realm only zergs cos your realm zergs, and albs started it" thread.

Friday lunchtime: 4fg+ hibs amg
Saturday 3am: 4fg+ mids amg

Both occasions, I didnt see more than 2fg albs until they had been ganked on several occasions by the enemy. Other times, albs form up in 4fg+ and this results in mids or hibs doing the same. All realms do it. To come on here whining about it AGAIN is pathetic. To blame albs AGAIN is pathetic. No realm is to blame, all realms are responsible.

[/B]

thurs/fri/sat we was 1-2fg max, we killed alot of albs and hibs alike then we get this each night.

thursday primetime 50+albs mmg..log off time
friday primetime 70+albs mmg..log off time
sat primetime 70+albs mmg..log off time

if u get zerged by mids at 3am then thats becuase they havent been able to get past mmg all day due to your realm defining skill, the zerg. In all these instances u had 100+ people in emain.

 

[kirennia]

add an amg2 and a mmg2 then the forces covering them will b split in half and easier to get through 1, thus less zerg...say 4fg hibs...4fg go to onw, you can get through other...2fg on each, you can get through one then kill the other 2fg as they make their way to amg2...well, not 100% fail proof but would improve it a bit.

funny you call em the guardians of zerg when u say you killed a few of em then met the alb zerg...they were away from the zerg maybe?

zergs form when random groups get together. Hibs r forced to make well put together grps from hbk just to get to emain properly. Albs and mids r forced less as when they port, they r there already. When a fg of a particular guild get together...and I mean a proper fg, not 7 or 6 but fg where its possible to go as a single group to roam, there is a lot less zerging. Whenever I've been part of a fg FC/GoL/LoD as 3 examples, we never add to the zerg unless there is a rumored zerg approaching us.

Other then that, trin, about the water trickle bit, couldn't of put it better myself good post

there is always... the third... forbidden frontier...

*cue spooky music*

 

[Gef]

Got a guild group together in Odins,

First run: Kill a few wanderers at HMG, then went to AMG - got zerged ~3fg Mids

Second Run: Went back same deal, met another group at the HMG decided to take a crack at 2fg Hibs vs ~3fg Mids .. which had grown substantialy. Wipeout.

Third Run: Decided to play some tactics, wait around by the X-Roads and kill all the Mids that are heading to the AMG. Funnily enough it worked a treat, I think often its more fun to try and avoid the zerg. Take out wandering groups, at least that way you keep the zerg numbers to a minimum

Twat. Read the f**king post. Dune, your post summarised is"My realm only zergs because your realm does, and albs started it." Like I said, pathetic. (Aswell as being factually incorrect, but I cba to spell out to you why.).

must of hit a nerve then, i guess i imagined the amount of albs at mmg primetime thurs/fri/sat, as well as imagining the albs in irc saying there was 100 in emain. That or im right........

 

[belth]

Just your imagination. 95 of those 100 albs are buffbots.
