no because most ppl leaving from beno is either solo or in very gimped groups

its a fact that hib/mid random groups > alb random groups

the problem with alb nowaday is grouping, its very hard to get a descent group up and if u dont u either solo/duo or go with a gimped one.

You know alb randoms wants some fun to and its not fun to go out in rvr to get insta wtfpwned by tag teaming mids/hibs fg who camp orion 24/7 just for there rp horny greed.

and on top of that they defend it by "its the best place for 8vs8" yea right! :puke:

*edit* dunno why mids/hibs rather fight albs then each other, but i guess its a mentality that goes long back, to always hit the alb first due to alb oftenly has supperior numbers, this isnt the situation atm so i guess they hit albs cos the easy arpeees*edit*


The only hib groups that actively camp the bridge are random or low rr groups your beno-zerg should be able to steamroll easily. But Albs don't come all at once, they pour out little by little which makes the farming worth it for those who actually cba doing it.

And the decent groups out there would rather fight eachother then random albzergers who just /invite spam anyone instead of caring about the setup in their group. Follow FC and AD's lead and build groups after that. (aka no wizards, soz m8) or run 2fg's. I'd say most Hibs would rather see 2 fg albs running together then 4-5 clumped together at bridge too scared to go out on their own.

Is that so? Got any proof? As far as I can see we win about as much as we loose to FC nowdays in those few add-free fights we get. But it seems in general Mids > Hibs > Albs > Mids if all play good with a proper set-up.

You do realise FC is probably one of only 2 alb GG out and about now and its not quite the same comparing a GG with prob 7 RR10's in it to a random alb group lol.

any proof? resist buffs, red nearsight, cleric utility, worthless endurance (why was it paladin end that has recived the only nerf?!?!?!?!). atleast we have theurgist *fluffle storhemulen*. the list can be made longer, the gap aint as big as it used to i agree on that but if both groups play optimal setups and play equally well i dont think alb group should win. Mids > Hibs > Albs
looks more correct imo :)

So alb has the best frontier for fg rvr. By that logic then so-called fgers would want the zerg to be in a different realm and so would want alb to own a keep they could port to in say, hmm Midgard? That way the alb frontier could be free for fg fights...

Only it's not really about that is it? It's rps.

Nothing wrong with that, but let's not pretend otherwise shall we?

Huntington's cracks me up btw... :fluffle:

and you crack me up. if we created an big island in the middle of north sea. i can assure you leeching cabalists and scouts would port there to leech of the "leet ppl" doing fg fights. alb has the best frontier, mid frontier is a joke. i think most mid fg-guilds would be happy to give you a mid keep so you can pve over there. dont think the hib guilds would tho since they are quite bad atm and can only get rp's from camping oriens :(

if you can take 2 hib keeps (mid/alb) ill gladly have 8v8 fights in hib - among other things it's the boat ride that sucks, instant port is great. Feel free to take your zerg to midgard, ill tell hib zerg to go there as well and then fg'ers can have hadrin's for themselves then? how's that?

You've got yourself all in a pickle. If hib keeps were taken you'd look for fg fights in hib too? Then you say if the zerg was in midgard (which would require porting keeps to be taken/opened there rather than in HW) you would look for fg fights in HW - which would require you to take a boat.

Here's an idea - why not just try and get some fg action going in Hib now? No boat and no zerg...

Because here's the thing - it's really not about fg action is it? It's about rps. Go on, just say it... It's not a dirty thing to admit. You might find it quite liberating ;)

No they would go where the zerg is. It's rps they're after so they go to where it's easiest. Just like the rest of you. The excuses people come up with for not arranging fg roaming gets weaker by the post.

seems quite strange that you know, a non leetist player, that all the leet that want's fg fights are just rp horney? are you basing this on your own experience, or because you are rp horney and cannot see anyone else not being that? i would no way in hell follow the zerg even tho they knew the way out. The problem is that mid/alb would still needa take a boat you see?

/edit

and fyi, i dont play activly on my druid anymore ;o so why would i needa make excuses up?

Bottom line is this. If the leet GG's wanted fair, fg v fg fights they would arrange a place via IRC to go and do it. Yet they dont so it doesnt take a genuis to work out what they really care about is RPs.

I just base it on the actions I see everytime I log in. I get extremely rp horny sometimes (usually when I'm close to a rr ding), othertimes I really want good even fights. I'd say that applies to every single other DAOC player to some degree or other. What's funny is when people pretend they only want fg fights and bitch at anyone who adds or zergs when the truth is they are just like the rest of us. Like I said, it's not dirty to want rps, just like it's not dirty to add or zerg from time to time. What's pitiful is pretending you don't. :fluffle:

Well, we dont add, if we only played for rp´s, we would. The last 3 days (make that last 4, excluding yday, because I dont know what happened then, wasnt playing) we havent gone close to any of the Beno bridges, if we only played for rp´s we would have done that, and if we get added on when fighting a fg, we try to pull back so the group we were fighting can kill the people that added, if we only played for rp´s, we wouldnt do that either.

Good fights > rp´s, but the last days we have gotten both, we have fought FC, some mixed albgroups, one that had 3 cabbys, all popped ml9 at start, was pretty annoying, then there are the frenchies, mixed hibgrps, Natural Selection etc that we fight. Not adding on them seems to have paid off aswell, since we had several fights this Monday with fg´s running past without adding when they could have.

So to say people that run fg´s play for rp´s only is wrong.

Nobody has said that. Most people, if they are honest, prefer good even fights. It's the best fun in the game. The difference is that some (for amusement let's call them the teen-e-peens) try and make out that they only play for fg fights, that they never add, they never zerg and that anyone who does should be given a mouthful of shit. When we all know it's bollox.

When I play in fg, I play only for fg fights.

ye u know how and why the rvr guilds play, you've played with soo many!!1 :fluffle:

Your responses are so predictable (not to mention pointless) I set my watch by them. ;) As per usual your unfeasably large ego has assumed I'm basing my comments on how FC play. As usual, I'm not...(although I'll always cherish your "We used to add but we don't now m8s!" moment). So don't worry your pretty little head about it :fluffle:

Btw, I think your sig needs adding to. If you're going to quote yourself atleast put a few lines in. 1 line just doesn't do you justice :wub:

That may be true, but there are times when you also have added and zerged (even if it's not always when you're in a fg). So your comment is irrelevant...

F*ck me, it's like banging your head on a brick wall round here. Either they're thick as sh*t or just so far up their own arses they genuinely just don't get it. Atleast it gives something to do at work :eek:

all this alb zerging people are going on about is probably due to the fact that their frontier is alwasy under threat with hibernia and midgard having a keep there, trust me, it has happened to us albs on prydwen, just when we thought this 3-keep-alliance-thing was working hibs took two other keeps and our last relic.

As for the xrealming, what do you expect? its a 3 way game, there will always be hib&mid vs alb, alb&hib vs mid or mid&alb vs hib.

that does happen you know? they ask eachother where they are and where to meet, pm eachother on irc and discuss it etc. Ye, it's not 24/7, but it's not always they are on, might be mixed grp etc.

and no bracken, it's not bullshit when people say they play for fun and dont want to add... Im not rp horney, i used to be - but now im not (on my druid - on shaman im an adding cockwit coz i run in rog's solo/duo at lvl 49). I care for rp's, but i care more for fair/good fights.
