Is it just an alb thing , to wait for a 5 or 6 man group consisting of mostly greens and greys , to wait for them to pull a load of level 60 mobs .... and proceed to gank them . I ask because most of the Mid groups that do it have the decency to wait for us to kill the mobs first . I'm refering of course to the Hibernian frontier .

*Yawn* This has been said a billion times before, you xp in frontier, you run the risk of being xp killed, and every realm does it, not just alb.

I tried to own a small group of hibs XPing on my lawn the other day (one of the Wraith spots in Odins) I totally had them... but then they realised I was attacked and beat the snot out of me, I would have gotten away with it too if only their bard had been AFK !! :D

But as its already been said, Frontier/DF XP is always open to the risk of being attacked by enemy realmers, and if your lvl35+ you show up as Yellow to a lvl50 anyway.

No you dont :p

You sure? I swear I remember seeing somthing in some patch notes waaaay back about non-50's conning yellow to enemy realm members to stop people targetting them first.

In any case I have a vested interest in my opinion now so i'm going to have to hate you :p

Yes you do, tho only on members from an enemy realm.....

Anyway, can't count the times i've been attacked by Mids and even the odd Hibs while killing Ellyll's - then again it's a part of the game which i actually enjoy :)

Annoying yes..

But like 4 hibs in epic thought, lets kill that sm with his grey leech in dodens..

Too bad they had effects off orso, and didn't see my moc.. poor hibs :mad:

they came back 5 or 6 times after that tho, too bad they didnt box around me that good nymore :D

I've caught Hibs xping in the frontier many times and will usually attack even if I'm solo. If that results in a few xp deaths, then so be it :D

Yeah, I remember being killed over and over again by minstrels and scouts when I was exping at uppland crabs :(

besides, a solo lev 50 can create havoc in a exp group if they are fighting mobs, even though all would be lvl 50.

Read: solo(buffed) lvl 50 thane wiped out a fg albs in DF :p

When i am hunting for xping hibs i am usually solo. So when i meet 3-8 hibs conning Yellow to me (no matter if you are actually green), I will attack whenever suits me best ;) whic is after pull (no mezz braking mobs, possibly some are ooe or low hp), or middle of the pull. tbh 6 con green hibs can take me down 5 secs

Yes it's just an alb thing. Like zerging, adding, stealthzerging, camping amgs, camping pks, and any other random act that requires a scapegoat to justify the spitting out of a dummy :rolleyes:


PS Here's yours back... /hand spat dummy

I wait till mobs have been pulled, if its 1 against 8 i'm going to want every advantage I can get. As for XP deaths? Good, thats just all the more time your not in Emain handing my ass back to me after you tear it off and kick it a new hole.

Honestly, the way some people go on you'd think there was some kind of 'unspoken' agreement to stay away from people XPing or somthing.

I was wandering and found those little critters last night, was great xp for my bot, a bit far for me to walk though ;)

And no albs for me to play with.

Some days ago we killed the same 4 peops xping at fins 4 times... harsh, but hey, if you don`t want that, stay out of rvr area.

I feel sorry if that upset any of you, but hey, rvr area is fair game.

And half of the time i don`t know what i am nuking into oblivion with pbaoe untill after the fight and I see I <cough> accidentally <cough> killed something that doesn`t con yellow, harsh, sorry, life.

I kill hibbies PLing their pals all the time in their frontier...I let 'em finish the pull though. Might be cos they sit down, making it far easier to kill em I spose...
:flame:
And it's great fun toying with a high lvl pharming group :) the occasional /wave or /hug gets 'em running around PBAOEing all of their power away...slower XP = less chance i get killed by them in Emain or something :touch:
