we won more fights against you (ash+crew) without using ra's than you did against us ?


oh btw, before you start to accuse (wrongfully) us of jumping in on fights, 8v8 or otherwise, look in the mirror. since when do 3 grps of hibs fighting 1 grp of albs need your help sir ?


and before you accuse us (wrongfully) of waiting on ra's, please appear yourselves in a shorter time period than what it takes for your ra's to come back before some ppl make that same "mistake" about you


and stop releasing before i can spam hug you

You must be rather uneducated in Emain terrain then :-\ As you run along the road from AMG to APK, there is a slight hill along your left right before you hit goborchends. Had you been fighting further down towards loghery men or even towards the zone wall with the fachans, we would've seen you. But the moment we came over the little hill or "hump" we were already on top of you - because the fight was taking place RIGHT over it.


Edit: This was directed at Cutyy

I did notice TK not using RA's last night. We ran into them a total of 3 times, two of them were total bs. Twice we were already mez immune from a previous fight (no TK didn't rush in on it, we were already stuck up and moving when we engaged). imo Alb groups do fine without RA's, the BOF and SOS just make it a 99.99% win :-\

Phel,


I'm sorry your casters are not able to dodge the savage bullet, but it can be done.


I usually do it most of the time, minus sometime last week when I died like 2x's a battle cause I was just sucking, heheh.


We have beat some good mid gank groups without bof and sos with 3casters in the group. It can be done, it's just a challenge.


Mana eld would bring a lot of utility to the group (ae str/con debuff & ae disease!).


---


If you continue running 5 naturalist and 3 melee damage dealers, do not expect to beat SoS/BoF enabled 8 man alb groups that can play somewhat decent.

8v8 in emain at prime time is almost impossible, there are just too many running in one circle all trying to get their names lighted up on a kill to make it possible. I always prefered 8v8, and in the mornings often this is possible, but in the evenings, forget it in Emain. Why not do this, have all 8v8 groups go to mid or alb, serious 8v8 shouldn't mind the trip and overall most zergers just don't frequent the area, if all serious 8v8 do this, perhaps RvR can be more fun.

Beib:


a) yes, the day was yours yesterday. You beat us more than we beat you.


b) yes, I jump in fights all the time now. I have had hit happen so much that I do it now to every alb guild *and* release. I made this vow b4 KoS left the server when TK did it multiple times in a day. I deemed then that you were nothing more than an RP whore, and other than deleted, that leaves no other guilds that have it. I certainly don't -- not anymore.


c) the fight in the gorge -- we were on our way to emain and hibs were losing. I put up end song and sat down. I found dead frec and cried at him then sat down again. Noticed you and you released b4 i could hug u. The funny thing was that Gannd got two tells immediately:


hib1 sends, "Thought Free RP's didn't jump in fights?"

hib2 sends, "Thanks! We were down to 4."


Heh.


d) It takes 15 minutes to run to emain. This does not include time to port over from domnann, get stuff from vault, buff and relogs. This does include stopping at bolg to rebuff. It also does not include ppl who fall off AF (long run) or LD on the way -- which on a day like yesterday happened every freaking run. When you have to make that long run and you have bad luck (the falling off of af and ld) you grow quite frustrated. Often, ppl will go afk b/c the run takes so long. Then we get ganked at the foot of one of our keeps heh.


Not a whine. I realize it's 8 min port + all the same things, but I'd take the port over the run. Plus, you have buffbot at pk. If someone dies, we have to run all the way back to ligen for buffs, or otherwise run from ligen to bolg or crim without buffs and place one there. Usually, our most dangerous fights are the ones b4 emain so that isn't an option.


As I've said now 400x, I don't think you wait at pk for ra's to come up. I just don't think you venture very far from help when your ra's aren't up. Yesterday you proved otherwise, sort of. More RA-less fights in teh gorge or teh breif for teh win, plz.


Josh, one of our naturalists *is* a damage dealer. 5 Naturalists, one of which being a melee-warden, does better than 4 naturalists + 4 *real* tanks. We beat TF and TK alot when their ra's are down, both of which I consider to be more competent alb groups than the dox groups that you run in (and that I have run in). Not a slight at DoX, btw. TK and TF are good groups.


Of all ppl you know that I am in favor of casters. However, ignorance from 90% of the people that are good enough to group with 8v8 does not allow that. And when we do get some casters, most people are so rusty on them that they don't do well and thus won't play them again.


Best group(s) I've ever been in were the balanced KoS Morning groups. The second best would be the free rp's tank group, followed by the kos pbae groups and then kos tank groups.


Balanced group > all.


Amante -- I have more fun busting zergs than an 8v8 fight, thus porting is not exciting to me. Other 8v8 feel the same way, I think, and there's more RP's to be earned busting a zerg than having a good fight. RP whores will go where there are rp's.

when an alb/lancelot player can make 400k a week we can talk about not jumping on fights going on, this discussion has no sense considering the alb lancelot zerg etc except between gank groups and i still have my doubts since i cant be rr10 to compete so fast like others do. While LA can find 5 8v8 battles in an hour TF can barely find 2.


I wont go deeper in this explanation since anty already said he understand the situation lol..

Pathetic


Why to lose my time like stand did trying to explain so obvious points to people that arent pondering? I doubt if the LA kids are reading these posts since all i see are they screaming that they are the best daoc players ever lol


No, you are not, its not Ultima Online.


Maluv, its cool when RAs turns the tide of the battles eh?


I cant believe albs tried to do it without RAs, did u tried to do it without savages?


game < drugs < sex

a) ash


b) ok least we are aware what to expect now whenever we meet you or hear you are near. pity :/


c) hibs weren't losing, trust me

spam faster omg /hug


d) We ran breif/gorge most of the night, takes longer than 15 mins to port buff and move through amg in one piece to get there. how long does it take you to get there and not emain?


If someone from our grp dies and (if) we decide to go to pk to rebuff them, we have to run back to emain, through amg, through other hibs, through mids to get to apk alive ourselves.


This is if everyone is with grp and not LD, logging, afk etc.

"I just don't think you venture very far from help when your ra's aren't up."


Not true. Yesterday the only change we made to what we did was lessen our use of ra's. We ran routes we always ran etc.
