Yeah, they shouldn't be running a Massive Multiplayer game because they don't promote soloing.

I have been added on tonight all 4 deaths. Since keeping track of my deaths last year I have been killed by 2 or more people in 385 out of 389 deaths.

It simply is a joke and there should be a penalty for adding fights.

Also, why do archers have so many tools to escape when they are usually grouped 5 or more deep?

They should have some or all of those tools taken away.

It makes no sense whatsoever.

There should also be an RP loss when you add a fight on a solo. I know this would lead to most stealthers having negative career RPs, but I think the benefits outweigh the negatives.

Perhaps the Herald is wrong but it looks like you may be a victim of you're own advice if they listened to you.

Mythic decided to abandon the soloist by extending the lengths of fights so much that adding is inevitable. They also decided to use the "red is dead" b.s. on the load screens. The also tried to work the zerg mentality into Warhammer, if you watched some of the Warhammer videos preceding its launch. In summary, Mythic probably shouldn't be running an MMO, but what ya gonna do?



There is so much fail in this comment


And Shadora, are you just back from a break or something? Did you just buy that RR11 and decide to give it a whirl?
Welcome to the state of the solo game, circa 2010. We're in 2011 now, right? I have to make sure sometimes,
I still write 1988 on some of my checks...

You left out the most important stat in there: The deathblows.


I am a victim of others zerging and adding to my kills often. I also like to play around seiges and the like and I avoid camping bridges, but I am solo about 95% or more of the time.


What does grouping with visis have to offer? The answer is nothing...


So, in a grouped game you are a character type with solo capabilities. Your options are to group with other stealth and zerg or to try and play solo and die to people stealth zerging. This wouldn't be so bad if those who zerged you lost RPs for adding. But, the sad fact is that the game RP system rewards ganking and zerging lesser numbers.


The game is a skill-less mess which depends on outnumbering your enemy in order to get RPs, which give you more abilities to help you while outnumbering your opponent. There is no skill involved except when you create an easy mode character.


There is no skill in playing the game or trying to be good at. Instead, just outnumber you enemy and collect your free RPs.


WE HAVE STEALTH WIZARDS NOW !!! LOL We have stealthers that cast spells and do more DPS than real casters. LOL. You cannot make this up. We also have sneaks using two-handed weapons. LOL. Rediculous...

So... is this above or below your desire for mashable purge?!


It's quite retarded to expect people to let you 1v1 in an MMO imho... when I run solo.. I just accept that crap is going to happen... if you can't cope with it.. play a 1v1 game imho.

This game isn't a solo game or a group game, it's a war game. Penalizing people who are killing the enemy is just ridiculous.

Oh, and I also like the SKB comparison, and 2280 out of 7632 isn't anything to write home about - 29.9%
