Why aren't so many Albs worth anything ?

[old.Hellskor]

... in terms of RPs.

You kill one, and then nothing. No message telling you that he has been killed recently or has been damaged by NPC's or whatever, just plain nothing.
Never happened to me with Hibbies, even the green con Luris are worth more than the average Alb

Anyone know why ?

P.S. To you Albs-defence I gotta say that the two ppl I killed and got the most RPs off from were Albs.
(special thanks to Grumpie the #1 : 1035RPs, and the #2 Earth : 1008RPs. Was a pleasure meeting you)

Probably because we are still rez sick

Last night was hilarious, i'm only 43 Scout and prime pickings for SB's. Get killed, get a rez, sit down for 5 secs, bang SB gets revealed and gets killed .. DoT kills me. Wrinse and repeat. Do SB's not realise that if your sitting the likleyhood is you have just been killed and are resting?

Nope. If you are res sick I get a message saying that the character was newly ressed and wasn't worth anything. In this case, there is no message AT ALL. I've seen this too. I think that it's just a bug not showing those rp's you get. I suspect (but haven't checked, so I'm not sure) that you get the rps anyway. Can't tell if it is only albs that this applies to though.

I've had it on various people so it's not just albs

 

[Perplexed]

Mythic says its an "anti-farming" measure and nothing to do with res sick, sucks tbh

 

[Blood]

I get it SO often (and it doesnt give RP)

sure im farming, but its with an unwilling second party

 

[ImLestat]

Farming? How can the code decide if any kills are farming? I really don't get it...

 

[Nxs-Kardin]

Interestingly on this subject.... my bro L40 alb let me kill him in the frontier (im L12 mid) ok so he had to strip all his armour and jewelry .... and SIT on the floor hehehe

eventualy i managed to finish him off and for what.......... one RP !!!!

 

[<Wels>]

I think I never give RP, so why bother with killing me

 

[old.Hellskor]

Really wonder how the code decides what is farming and what not.
Kicked Gombur out of stealth today, which resulted in his quick death, no RPs at all as usual ... that was ~10min after the last Alb was seen in that area.
How can this be seen as 'farming' ?

/em turns the conspiracy theory on

Or is it an evil plan by GOA/Mythic to stop us Mids from gaining Realm Ranks and therefor Realm Abilities in the soon to come patch ?

/em turns the conspiracy theory off

 

[old.Gombur Glodson]

when and where was that?

 

[Damon_D]

probably some " we love alb " thingy from mythic and goa..

Now where did you put that conspiracy theory Hellskor ???

@Gombur

Earlier today ... midday or something. There had been a couple of close fights between about 2 groups of Mids and an equal number of Albs which had resulted in few mids standing and all Albs dead and releasing.
After the 2nd fight (after I showed up there) I saw Munro on the left hillside unstealthed, so I moved there. Didn't find him, only you standing there stealthed. Glanced back towards amg and saw the rest of the Mids coming through, so I informed them that you're on the left hillside and attacked you.

Should've been a blue con Kobbie to you, purple Vest/Gloves/Cloak, rest black ... with two none-effect weapons !

your log prolly read : Cylian attacks you with her Shimmering Doublebladed Axe, you're hit for ...

Edit : If it sounded as if I had soloed you, wasn't the case ... a couple of trolls tested their Hammers on you. But they didn't get an RPs off you too.

Had this happen a few times in Thidranki with my Nightshade when there was no reason I could see (enemy at full health, no-one else even in sight, no mobs interfering etc). Kind of annoying to manage to take down a yellow-con polearm armsman and not get the massive 1 to 4 RPs I'd earned Never had this happen in 'grown-up' RvR though - guess whatever circumstances the code thinks are RP farming don't happen for blademasters

 

[old.Morchaoron]

I remember one of my days in emain, all happend in 15 minutes:

I kill a blue hunter at full health - 11 rps

full health yellow SB pa'd me, killed him with 1% health left - 30 rps?!?!?

Killed a full health yellow thane - 98 rps

Killed a blue shaman (I think) - nothing not even a message

Were it the mids or was it some omen that I would suck soon anyway hehe

 

[old.Mitsu]

Nxs there is a rp cap just like xp cap.
