30% deathblow vs solo kills isn't a bad ratio considering that I don't camp bridges and am usually around other Albs at a location.



L O L

EDIT: Leave your bodyguards and go and actually solo a bit will ya?



Sorry Bro, maybe you don't play this game, but Albs are everywhere.
I never hunt albion when I play my albs, and yet I still find leaching albs everywhere I go.

Stealth zergs are the real problem. If you get owned by a visible group you can form your own visible group and go kill them. If you get owned by a stealth zerg you can't do this because you can't find them.

We've rolled Warpigs stealth group many of time because they're all really predictable.
"We'll sit on Agra 2 and gank solos all day!" ->>> SL = win.

Although I do agree stealth groups do ruin this game.

When a game moves forward under a model where superior numbers hold a significant advantage, then the fun of the game diminishes in my opinion. It used to be that a well put-together, skilled group could take on a zerg. It also used to be that a soloist could fight more often without being added.

Read what he said. Ofc Albs are everywhere if you are playing IN albion... it is rare labs actually go to other realms.

Mythic needs to address that the game has devolved into a ganking fest devoid of any skill or meaningful PvP action.


It is just a mess of gankers exploiting bad game mechanics with macros and other cheats, not to mention just a bunch of clowns outnumbering other clowns looking for easy RPs by outnumbering the opponent.


Mythic needs to realize people getting ganked need a way to escape that isn't as bugged and useless as vanish is. A solo stealther will need to escape from other stealthers, and all you can give us is a vanish that will disarm us for 15-30 seconds? Are you people kidding? Is that really the best idea you could come up with?


The advantage of outnumbering the oppponent is not only more damage, but also more CC, which is the the thing that kills people most of the time. We need a mashable purge or at least a purge that grants 15 seconds of immunity. Enough with your nonesense. Fix this game and make it playable.

You're an assassin. Stealth and vanish are your escapes. If you want tons of escape tools, play a Minstrel. If you want 15 seconds of immunity, play something with charge.

Also, for the love of God, choose your fights better.

Mashable purge, what a moronic idea. So you want an ability that basically nullifies almost every single negative effect in the game? I'd love it fighting assassins, they can reapply posions all they want, I can just mash them away. I'm sure you'd love that.

I think that what you meant to say here is that you want Mythic to restructure the game so that it conforms with how you want to play.

Don't worry about being with better players or using better tactics, just get as many people together as you can to outnumber the opponent and collect easymode RPs.



Weird, cuz to me that sounds like playing better than the next guy and using better tactics. Sure, they may not be the tactics that you prefer, but it sure sounds like they are better than the ones that you are using. They are, after all, killing you and you are not killing them.


Divination posted:

There is no skill involved except when you create an easy mode character.



I'm not actually sure what that statement means. Somehow, with your logic, those that play on the hardest toons, and do well, have less skill than those who play easy-mode toons?

Drink less and play more.

If you want a solo fight, broadcast in region that you will be on [agramon] bridge and would appreciate it if people didn't add.

I usually will not add and will ask if they want help. If they don't say anything, I watch and see who wins. If my realm mate loses, I will kill the enemy after my realm mate dies. If it is a 1 versus 2+, I will kill as many of the bad guys as I can. I don't care if others add, as long as I survive.
