This has been one of the most toxic servers I have ever played. There is literally no respect for fights at all. People add 8m's constantly forcing the 8m to constantly kill soloers. Literally 0 respect. I see why the big players are quitting.

Let’s face it. We play a niche game from 20 years ago. We all have much more in common with one another than otherwise.
Anyway, then I saw what the post was actually about and couldn’t disagree more. I entirely reject this idea that I don’t respect you because I attacked somebody I saw in the frontier. Full stop.
There are literally no circumstances in which I’d tell an enemy player in the frontiers it’s not okay for them to try to kill me. That’s what the game is about. You guys who make up new sets of rules to make the game more fun for you, I support you! I’m glad you’re having fun!
But, you can’t force everybody else to follow your rules, because they’re just that. YOUR rules. They’re not the rules of daoc or Phoenix or anything.
I want to reiterate that I have the upmost respect for every single one of you, as a person. I’m glad we can share this server with one another, and I have fun playing with you guys every single day.
But, that doesn’t extend to my playstyle. I’ll play how I prefer, and support you playing how you prefer. If our play styles are at odds with eachother from time to time, well, that’s just the fun of the game! Daoc is chaos!

Show us this 50% with a screen shot. Most of the archers also play in the BG, so they don't leech your fights...

And now you invent what she is supposed to have said to me.
I am just pointing out that you went out of your way to bad mouth about our guild on the 8vs8 discord (you are not the only one) and chain emote us in game.
It's rich having you come here insult all the stealthers for things you did yourself. I am just pointing out the hypocrisy.
You lied about the 50%, you put all the stealthers in one bag, and you act like the 8 mans don't go out of their way to farm the solos.
When I add them, I see it as payback for the number of time they added me. Repect my fights, and I will respect yours. It's not working one way.

Nah it was toxic too, you just don't remember The french forums were full of people spewing troll posts and personnal attacks at each other.
A lot more 8 mans / small man were not adding your 1vs1 though. Even if they killed you after the fight.

1 hour ago was 20% and is not even prime time. And we are talking about raw server count. If you cut from the count the people that are farming or exping, so not actively doing RvR, the percent will rise strongly; lets say that half of the farming class (and I'm being generous) like animists, necro, caba, bonerdancer are farming, and a good chunk of visi classes are just exping, I'm quite confident the percent of stealthers sneaking into RvR is above 30%. You can do a simple empiric test: log your lowbie clothie and try to get off from a keep to reach the doc: your chance to survive are pretty damn low.

You killed yourself btw, i vanished on 1% after walking into you standing in an arch on your own bridge waiting to perf (lame tactic) and yes you were going to win but you were an adding little dipshit 5 minutes before so i wasn't going to give you the win.
If it makes you feel better i laughed my ass off as your jumped off the side of the ramp on the bridge the wrong way and died to falling damage and triple dots.

I play an old fantasy massive multyplayer online Role Play Game because it allouds me to immerge my self in a fantasy world with a nice epic background and mitology invented by our anchestors (norrens, celts, anglo saxons).
If you wanna collect frags and farm rating I suggest you counter strike, is addicting as well.
Tell me something: once you have zerged and leeched your way up to rank 11 or rank 12, what are you gonna do? Achivement complete? Reroll? Delete?
A mmorpg is about comunity and metagame, otherwise you are just playing a shitty old game.

This is a game and the end content is in the majority PVP.
Player die in PVP, that is a fact.
If you want to follow certain rules than you can do that but your rules are not my rules.

Nobody likes to reply to me in these threads, but I’ll weigh in all the same.
I’m familiar with the golden rule, and I do treat people as id like to be treated. I don’t want people to run by and not try to kill me, under any circumstances. I think that makes for a pretty boring game. I imagine a world where everybody follows the rules you’d like to be in place, in regards to clean fights, and to be entirely honest, that doesn’t sound like a fun game at all. At that point, we may as well all just fight in separate instances. What makes this game great to me is that anything can happen at any time.
In the middle of a 1v1 between me and a hib stealther, maybe two albs jump in. Who know if they target me or the hib or both? Maybe after that, a fgm rolls the whole thing. The whole fun of it is you never know what’s going to happen!
If, the moment I started a fight, I knew I didn’t have to worry about any other enemies I see on the horizon and can just stop panning, that makes for a very dull and lifeless game, in my opinion.
Now, maybe you disagree! That’s fine. The difference between me and you is I’m not here making demands of your playstyle. I humbly ask you not to make demands of mine. I’m not an asshole or toxic because I attack at will. I’m simply playing the game in a style different from yours.

2) I am opening attacks against single visible targets. Several classes are no go because I cannot win.
3) I am adding on stealth classes, especially SB and Infis because they chose targets they can easily win against and I even the odds.
P.S I play a stealth class but if Phoenix would put it up for vote to remove stealth classes or stealth from the game I would without doubt support it. DAOC is in my opinion a better game with visible classes only.

Sepplord wrote: ↑Wed 30 Sep 2020 12:45 PMI must say, inoeth, that you are coming of a bit hypocritical here. I know where you are coming from and i am sure there are people that have sympathy with a few of your points but the last two pages you have been contradciting yourself
The golden rule says treat others like you want to be treated....and most of the people that are in the "red is dead"-camp are following that rule. They add everything while accepting that they will get added too.
Most players breaking that golden rule are the ones that add almost everything on the server, while crying about adds at the same time. When directly engaged with that hypocrisy the defense is always: "you have to not add us first, then we won't add you neither" and even that is not true, as we have sometimes not added specific set-groups with our smallmen (and we were very visible while doing that) just to get run over by the winner a minute later while we were engaged in a fight.
You talk about respect and not being an ass, but throw around insults at other just because they have a different philosophie to yours. How about applying "the golden rule" to your forum etiquette?
You claim to want to solo, but admit you wouldn't go to a dedicated solozone because you would only meat (among else) paladins....while you play a solo-paladin yourself according to your sig. So is paladin an unfair class to 1vs1 on? Why did you chose it then? Or do you just not want to fight it but someone else fighting your paladin is fine, and an adder isn't evening the playing field but being an ass?
At which point is someone an ass or just playing the game? An assassin PAing a caster is a fair fight? Or is the assassin an ass for taking the easy kill?

ah so you are adding on ppl you can not win against (because bad player) and on those who can easily kill some other classes (probabply good players)
and you dont go where its more easy to gain rp?
what does that tell? that you are in fact the one who is toxic because of your own inability and zero respect and on top of that its not enough you "win" others should "lose".
as i said you are cancer!
thx all questions answered
While that is not wrong, i fail to see what the relevance is.inoeth wrote: ↑Wed 30 Sep 2020 1:02 PMthe point is solo players can not chose or force ppl in their playstyle, adders/zergers can and do it.
Why is that fine though? Does the caster want to be PAed? A caster that is just trying to reach the realmzerg might want a zone where attacking people that haven't joined the BG is forbidden. All they want to do is join the zerg, but can't because they get farmed while trying to get there.PAing a caster is fine

RVR is supposed to simulate an ongoing warzone.
If you want an arena game mode like WoW, that's fine. Suggest it to the devs.
But don't call the nature of RVR 'toxic'.

Correct, currently you can't. But you are trying to do, by throwing a tantrum, shaming and insulting people that don't want to "not add".
Again, please, try and think of all perspectives and offer a solution that not only solves YOUR issue.
The solution to YOUR issue is easy. Change the rules and ban everyone that adds. But how does that not force other people into your playstyle? You said you are against forcing people into playstyles, yet you are completely unwilling to allow others their freedom of adding whoever they come across.

I also stated 8m can't get clean fight no one can. Red is dead is strong here and it is sad. Only play styles allowed on this server is the zerg mentality.
Feel free to answer the same questions i asked inoeth. Why is rule conform playing toxic and disrespectful? (a more elaborate description a few comments above, don't feel like writing it out again)
inoeth wrote: ↑Wed 30 Sep 2020 3:14 PMi did not, i actually offered a solution already (go where the zerg is and let the fair fight ppl do their business)
instead adders go exactly where the fair ppl are just to fuck them up, very nice....

Is that accurate?
Because the Frontier is the wild west. Anything goes.
Do people do things that are douchey? Of course. It's an online video game.
RVR is supposed to simulate an ongoing warzone.
If you want an arena game mode like WoW, that's fine. Suggest it to the devs.
But don't call the nature of RVR 'toxic'.

How many people actually fall into this category? Truly soloed there way to RR9-RR11 and follow their own rules? I guarantee you that number is super low or their is some shades of gray.
I still believe most people get more strict about fair fights and no adds once they are higher RR. Because at that point you arent starving for RPs but want more "honorable" fights.
Thats just my personal opinion. I call it the evolution of a "solo" rvr player.
MMOs are all about chasing the carrot. Getting more powerful. Its human nature. People want to short cut things in games just like in real life. Its not bad or good. Its about time management and what you are trying to achieve personally.
So with that said, I like to solo but not all the time. Its a grind. I like to group with my guild mates and take it more easy as well. If I see people fighting and the enemy wins, I will attack that person. I want RPs, I'm chasing the carrot in my head as well.
And in the end, this is an RVR game. So when people allow you to finish your fight before they kill you, you should be grateful and appreciative. Not get pissed they kill you.
I had this happen last night, some alb groups let me finish my fight before killing me. Thanks dudes, I got my RPs and you got yours. Appreciate it.

That may be true for some. On the other hand, I’ve played off and on since the days of classic. Now, on Phoenix, I’m nearly rr9, and I’ve just never had any desire for “honor”. I’ve always played assassins, and to be honest, the whole idea of fighting with honor just seems like the opposite of what an assassin is built for. Chaos is just what’s fun for me. I have fun fighting other stealthers 1v1, win or lose. I have fun adding. I have fun getting added on.
I’m always reminded of Game of Thrones. I’m sure a lot of you watched it and remember the scene from season 1 (?) where Bronn steps up to fight for Tyrion’s freedom. At the end, the Stark lady whose name escapes me right now, screams at him “you don’t fight with honor”!
He says “no”, pointing down at the corpse of his enemy.. “he did”.
That’s what assassins are to me in DAOC. Always seen it that way. A big part of the fun sometimes is dodging the people looking for me just long enough to pop out of the shadows and kill a softer target, with just enough time to escape back into the shadows as a group chases me down. It’s just... exciting! I don’t know what else to say.
It doesn’t mean I won’t also fight strong targets. I do that too. I sometimes pick fights I’m almost certain to lose. In general, I fight whoever’s available to fight. Often I win, often I lose. Of the times I lose, some are fair, I’d say many more are “unfair”. That said, you’ll never catch me complaining about being killed. Were I in their position, I would’ve likely done exactly the same thing.
Anyway, I say all this to say... come on, guys! Can’t we just all be friends?
thirian24 wrote: ↑Wed 30 Sep 2020 5:10 PMWho is toxic to the solo playstyle?
Lets break this down with a bit of history.
1. Phoenix has had 3 keeps in which you can port from to the other 2. Back in the day, the solos used to gather there to have clear fair fights. It was great until the groups and smallmans seen the spam from that area and came in and broke it up all night long, no matter which keep we went to.
2. Phoenix staff implement the solo PVP zone (the best solo experience I've had on this server with amazing action). The forum lit the fuck up with people crying and bitching that there shouldn't be a solo zone, there is no solos to farm in the FZ anymore.. this isn't fair, they are making good rps.. that's not fair either (mean while people PvDoor are making the most fucking rps on this server). So the staff take away the rp tick, lower rps earned, spread the zone out over 2 zones, do some weird ass 10 man port thing etc etc and the zone died. Cool.. the adders/smalls/groups are all happy that the solos are back in the FZ again.
3. Phoenix staff allows direct port to the three solo keeps in the FZ as an alternative. Ok cool.. this can work too. FULL Zergs, groups and smallmans show up to kill off people looking for fair fights once again. Nonstop this happened. Of course the BS complaints come flying in of bowtown blah blah blah. Who gives a fuck if they bow before a fight? So that idea is shit canned.
4. Solo PVP zone is again implemented, a couple changes etc etc. Solo life is good once again. And once again the forum lit up with people sad that they weren't able to kill soloers in the FZ and the action was miserably dead for their adding playstyle. Staff shuts it down once again. Their reasoning? Too much work to deal with a couple people that wanna solo. Meanwhile the ban pages are going off 24/7 with people doing all kinds of wild shit... and there is no solo zone?? WHAT?! So should we shut down the FZ or mainlands b/c people are breaking the rules there?
So.. with this somewhat summarized, we can see where the toxic nature of peoples playstyles come from. The people crying b/c there is no solos to add or zerg down anymore. The groups intentionally going to the solo keeps to kill people literally avoiding the high traffic areas to get some clean fights in. The zergs intentionally rolling through Trelle to kill people avoiding zergs/groups/smalls.
Solos have tried and tried and tried to find fights away from zergs/groups/smalls/adders. Yet... those same people are coming to the solos. Why? But yet the solos are the toxic ones. I would whole heartedly agree with Inoeth, that these people do it to intentionally ruin other peoples fun. And for the record, the lack of people the play here anymore as a soloer, would show that that is true. Ive played here since beta, and all of my solo friends, except for a very small small few of them, have left b/c of the stated reasons.
I know we cant force people to play solo, cant force them to respect fights etc etc, but why seek us out when we are going far away to avoid you? Which is always whats called out for us to do. Read through the 29348 pages of these types of posts. "Go somewhere else." "Go to the solo keeps." "Go to the solo zone."
Its all pointless anyhow. Inoeth I'm really surprised to see you on here trying to defend any of this anymore.

You`d be playing on an nearly empty server without all those *cannon fodders*, adder, zergplayers. Go and try your playstyle on Uthgard, the chance that you`ll getting added is nearly zero there, even the chance to find a fight. So just Stfu.
I give a shit on ppl that think their playstyle is l33t and the only one possible.
There is a handful solo players where i don`t add. Wanna know why? Because they are not complaining about getting added. You`ll never read a bad word from them in /s /reg etc. Thats how you earn respect, not with complaining bout each lil shit.
Same thing for 8v8, if i watch a fight unstealthed from the distance and they let me live i won`t add them in future, if they kill me they can be sure that i`ll add each fight.
You want respect? Go and deserve it.

funny that you bring solo play style in a line with l33t because that is what i expect ppl to think about us. they think we are l33t and neet some "grounding" or something like that. nobody needs those schoolmaster ppl.
im sure you can name those honorable solo fighters that do not complain.
and you can also tell why it is a problem to complain about problems? is it not complaining to complain about complainers?
its hard to defend oneself when you have to realize that you are part of the problem right?

If we’re not gonna discuss this issue civilly, like well adjusted adults, then tbh why are we even here?
LolaEbola wrote: ↑Sun 27 Sep 2020 8:45 PMI clicked this post ready to agree with you. In general, people often don’t respect eachother as people. And, I do think that’s a problem. We need to all make an effort to treat our fellow players with kindness, both in game and on the forums/discord.
Let’s face it. We play a niche game from 20 years ago. We all have much more in common with one another than otherwise.
Anyway, then I saw what the post was actually about and couldn’t disagree more. I entirely reject this idea that I don’t respect you because I attacked somebody I saw in the frontier. Full stop.
There are literally no circumstances in which I’d tell an enemy player in the frontiers it’s not okay for them to try to kill me. That’s what the game is about. You guys who make up new sets of rules to make the game more fun for you, I support you! I’m glad you’re having fun!
But, you can’t force everybody else to follow your rules, because they’re just that. YOUR rules. They’re not the rules of daoc or Phoenix or anything.
I want to reiterate that I have the upmost respect for every single one of you, as a person. I’m glad we can share this server with one another, and I have fun playing with you guys every single day.
But, that doesn’t extend to my playstyle. I’ll play how I prefer, and support you playing how you prefer. If our play styles are at odds with eachother from time to time, well, that’s just the fun of the game! Daoc is chaos!

Respect or no respect is the base of a MMORPG. Everyone has something to proove, to himself or others (titles or reskins is jsut an example, but also the rank or the kill count on the herald or DS and HoH scoreboard)..

Anyway I'm with Loola here, solo if you want, respect people if you want, don't expect others to play your way. Personally if I know you as a soloer I won't add, if it's obvious you are in a solo area looking for 1v1s I won't add, otherwise it depends. I'm now on 1.5k solo kills and one fg and one smallman ever have let me live, so any "respect" with regard to people in groups is non-existent.

it was... for one day, then it got (rp) nerfed heavily because some morons went there, added everything and did huge rp (hi smud)
then only classes like necro, champ, pala, bd went there... classes that you would not engage if you are not one of those classes yourself.
then this ridicolous last man standing thing came, not sure why this was done... nothing to do with fair fight.
and the whole time ppl were crying that there are no soloers to add anymore...
imo the solo zone is a nice concept, but for me personally not ver exciting on the long run.
it would be way better if not everybody added you on sight, i mean getting over run from time to time is ok but this constantly getting farmed by the same bunch of idiots is very tiring. can you not wait for the 1on1 to be over and then add? you do it for the task participation anyway.
ah and btw again .... plz remove the tasks! its the root of all this shit

Still don't get what you want. 1vs1 but not like in the solo zone (which was put back to normal rps btw and was active for several months and was very much a fair/1v1 zone during that time - sorry if you missed out)?? 1vs1 against people who are weaker than you?

In the end we are all a bounch of nerds who shares the love for a 20 years old dead videogame. Thats why we should respect eachother more. Without this small comunity, where we all put a weight on, everybody count, or the server will die; thats why I get a bit mad when a stealther decides to whipe a lvl 35 party exping in fz, because the party will disband and the server might lose 8 players.
The theory of "dying in a pvp zone is ok" is perfectly ok for a mainstream mmorpg like wow, with an enormous comunity; daoc, and phoenix especially, cant afford this kind of mentality. And to some extent, this is valid also for 8v8 or 1v1 fights.
I quit playing after the archer buff, where it was not possible to have a clean fight anymore, because everyone and their mothers were adding with stealthers. Yesterday I joined an xp party and we got ganked twice by the same 2 stealthers in fz; than we moved to df and instantly got ganked by 2 rangers; at that point the party disbanded. I cant 8v8 or 1v1 because stealthers add, I cant exp because stealthers add; what can I do, apart from quitting again?
Edit. Another aspect to consider: not only we invest our time in a videogame, most of us are in their 30+ years old: we are nomore 16yo with loads of time to waste, quite the opposite, with families and job to take care of, all the few hours we can "invest" on this server is more precioua than ever.

Why don’t people just go xp in non pvp zones? Is the xp a bit slower? Maybe. There’s also task bonuses for mainland dungeons, and those are full of concentrated weapons grade nostalgia. Hell, I’d xp more of people would go there.
But, even if we assume the xp is slower, isn’t it better overall when you’re not getting killed and losing group members?
In my view, the blame is more on the group who keeps doing the same thing, expecting different results, and less on the pvper doing pvp in a pvp zone.
Normaly I would agree with you, on a normal server of a normal mmorpg.
I wont reiterate about the "we are old and busy and have few time to invest in levelling" that moves people to exp in fz are or df or poc.
And not even let me start about "can we call player vs player killing low level enemies who has no chance on killing you?".
I'm pointing out stealthers who are the one implied on this kind of activity; we got ganked twice in fz by the same guy, who oneshotted a lvl 35 party; than we moved on df (open to my realm) and again got ganked at entrance by 2 archers.
This is not pvp, is just griefing and lack of respect. Thous stealther players have to resolve their iRL frustration and grief, with selfishness, on other player's time.
There is a lot of ppl to kill in fz, amirite? Why gank expers? Because you are a redacted? You are too bad to kill another lvl 50?
You seem pretty well used to this kind of behaviour, please, help me to understand. Whats the fun of killing expers?

Couple of things I want to establish here.
First, as another commenter pointed out, I’ve addressed you with nothing but respect, and I don’t appreciate being called a piece of redactedfor how I interact with a video game. Hopefully, we can agree there.
Second, at level 35, you con yellow to me and are worth rps. I see no reason why I’d just walk by some rps and not take them.
Third, if you guys respond quickly and appropriately, it’s entirely possible for you to kill me. Killing one level 35 is one thing, (and I don’t have a problem with that either), but attacking a full, well put together bomb group of level 35’s? I’ve died before. I applaud you guys when it happens. Even when I’m being /rofl’d and /rude’d.
I’ve also been part of xp groups that kill the level 50 stealther jumping us, and man, it’s good for morale! Always a good feeling when the school of minnows manages to take down the shark.
Anyway, above and beyond all of this, if you find you’re getting killed in pvp zones, I still don’t see any good reason why you don’t move your group out of the pvp zones. I tend to look at solutions to problems that are within my control, rather than looking to others to adapt their behavior to solve them for me.

You pretend to dont get my point, which is part of your roleplaying. Cool.
To my eyes, in my humble opinion, you are one of the selfish guys who are killing this server. Good for you.
But I dont like it, and Im free to call you a selfish griefer. Nothing wrong with that either.
I just finished my 12 hours of nursering at hospital, you probably are a neckbeard who lives with his parents. We both have our rights, long life to democracy.

At level 35 you con yellow...until you're dead. Regardless, you are worth rp's, and that's what the game is about. If you don't want to get farmed, then don't farm in a PvP zone. It's YOU that lack respect in this regard, as YOU expect special treatment because....reasons?
What's the difference between your char getting ganked and a level 50 getting ran over by a full group? How about a RR2 getting hammered by a RR10? There is no difference. This game is, and always will be about the bigger fish, or the bigger school of fish.

Did you know that killing even a gray con xper counts toward RvR participation credit? That's 1k juicy rp's at the lower realm ranks.
I hunt in xp zones due to the fact that I got hunted while trying to level, and rather than cry about it, like some, I get payback. I will murder your gray con xper sometimes if it's close to task time and I've nothing in the bag, and sometimes I do it just because I'm bored. You see, at the lower RR levels you are NOT competitive with the many high RR level chars on this server, first, and as an actual solo character, you are NOT competitive with the throngs of stealthers that roam in packs, let alone the visible groups and zergs. Hunting xp'ers gives you the chance to kill the enemy despite your low realm rank, while hopefully avoiding getting ran over by a vis or stealth group while being solo. Hunting xp'rs allows you to actually be a stalker, which is what the stealth class is all about.
You want to get the rewards of xping the frontier or DF, that's fine, but I'm going to try to shoot you in the face or stab you in the back for doing it, and I don't care what you con. If you can't handle that then don't xp in RvR zones, or just quit already.
See you in the frontier.

Respect or no respect is the base of a MMORPG. Everyone has something to proove, to himself or others (titles or reskins is jsut an example, but also the rank or the kill count on the herald or DS and HoH scoreboard)..
Hello, it`s me again....
What you wrote is correct, but doesn`t answer the question why ppl take it so seriously.
Noone is losing money, noone is dying in rl. Not sure about the last, some ppl may have high blood pressure problems.
Haha well, for sure I dont take it seriously and most people dosent.
I think it's all about time investiment, like all the other hobbies we have. And to make it worth doing so, we pretend to take it seriously, otherwise it is just a waste of time.
In the end we are all a bounch of nerds who shares the love for a 20 years old dead videogame. Thats why we should respect eachother more. Without this small comunity, where we all put a weight on, everybody count, or the server will die; thats why I get a bit mad when a stealther decides to whipe a lvl 35 party exping in fz, because the party will disband and the server might lose 8 players.
The theory of "dying in a pvp zone is ok" is perfectly ok for a mainstream mmorpg like wow, with an enormous comunity; daoc, and phoenix especially, cant afford this kind of mentality. And to some extent, this is valid also for 8v8 or 1v1 fights.
I quit playing after the archer buff, where it was not possible to have a clean fight anymore, because everyone and their mothers were adding with stealthers. Yesterday I joined an xp party and we got ganked twice by the same 2 stealthers in fz; than we moved to df and instantly got ganked by 2 rangers; at that point the party disbanded. I cant 8v8 or 1v1 because stealthers add, I cant exp because stealthers add; what can I do, apart from quitting again?
Edit. Another aspect to consider: not only we invest our time in a videogame, most of us are in their 30+ years old: we are nomore 16yo with loads of time to waste, quite the opposite, with families and job to take care of, all the few hours we can "invest" on this server is more precioua than ever. And nobody likes to be griefed on his free time.
IMHO
With all due respect, when I read this, I’m seeing “we went to xp in a pvp zone and got killed by players, so we went to xp in another pvp zone and got killed by more players”
Why don’t people just go xp in non pvp zones? Is the xp a bit slower? Maybe. There’s also task bonuses for mainland dungeons, and those are full of concentrated weapons grade nostalgia. Hell, I’d xp more of people would go there.
But, even if we assume the xp is slower, isn’t it better overall when you’re not getting killed and losing group members?
In my view, the blame is more on the group who keeps doing the same thing, expecting different results, and less on the pvper doing pvp in a pvp zone.
Normaly I would agree with you, on a normal server of a normal mmorpg.
I wont reiterate about the "we are old and busy and have few time to invest in levelling" that moves people to exp in fz are or df or poc.
And not even let me start about "can we call player vs player killing low level enemies who has no chance on killing you?".
I'm pointing out stealthers who are the one implied on this kind of activity; we got ganked twice in fz by the same guy, who oneshotted a lvl 35 party; than we moved on df (open to my realm) and again got ganked at entrance by 2 archers.
This is not pvp, is just griefing and lack of respect. Thous stealther players have to resolve their iRL frustration and grief, with selfishness, on other player's time.
There is a lot of ppl to kill in fz, amirite? Why gank expers? Because you are a selfish pice of shit? You are too bad to kill another lvl 50?
You seem pretty well used to this kind of behaviour, please, help me to understand. Whats the fun of killing expers? The small amount of rps you get it is worth 8 people logging off? For me it is not.
Couple of things I want to establish here.
First, as another commenter pointed out, I’ve addressed you with nothing but respect, and I don’t appreciate being called a piece of redactedfor how I interact with a video game. Hopefully, we can agree there.
Second, at level 35, you con yellow to me and are worth rps. I see no reason why I’d just walk by some rps and not take them.
Third, if you guys respond quickly and appropriately, it’s entirely possible for you to kill me. Killing one level 35 is one thing, (and I don’t have a problem with that either), but attacking a full, well put together bomb group of level 35’s? I’ve died before. I applaud you guys when it happens. Even when I’m being /rofl’d and /rude’d.
I’ve also been part of xp groups that kill the level 50 stealther jumping us, and man, it’s good for morale! Always a good feeling when the school of minnows manages to take down the shark.
Anyway, above and beyond all of this, if you find you’re getting killed in pvp zones, I still don’t see any good reason why you don’t move your group out of the pvp zones. I tend to look at solutions to problems that are within my control, rather than looking to others to adapt their behavior to solve them for me.
You pretend to dont get my point, which is part of your roleplaying. Cool.
To my eyes, in my humble opinion, you are one of the selfish guys who are killing this server. Good for you.
But I dont like it, and Im free to call you a selfish griefer. Nothing wrong with that either.
I just finished my 12 hours of nursering at hospital, you probably are a neckbeard who lives with his parents. We both have our rights, long life to democracy.
Wow, this is incredible. I’m actually a married man, and a father of two young babies, who just enjoys playing a game a bit differently from you.
I find it absolutely fascinating that you continue to insult me, only getting more and more personal with your insults because we disagree over a computer game.
To be entirely clear, I’m not roleplaying here. I understand the point you’re trying to make, and I disagree with it. It seems, rather than acknowledge my point, you prefer to insult me.
Well, I won’t do the same to you, my friend. I wish you well, and I wish you happiness. Though, I don’t know if there’s anything productive left to say here, so maybe we call this the end of the discussion?
Dude, you already called an end few post ago, with your selfish and egoistic point of view.LolaEbola wrote: ↑Sat 3 Oct 2020 12:48 AMbigne88 wrote: ↑Sat 3 Oct 2020 12:44 AMLolaEbola wrote: ↑Fri 2 Oct 2020 5:24 PMbigne88 wrote: ↑Fri 2 Oct 2020 4:49 PMLolaEbola wrote: ↑Fri 2 Oct 2020 2:47 PMbigne88 wrote: ↑Fri 2 Oct 2020 12:20 PMStoertebecker wrote: ↑Fri 2 Oct 2020 10:10 AMbigne88 wrote: ↑Thu 1 Oct 2020 10:42 PMDaoc it is a role playing game with guilds, alliances and overall interaction with enemies, realm mates, guild mates, bgmates, group mates.

2013: Depart to frontier with 7 minutes remaining on participation timer.
2020: Timer kicks off. No reward.
2035: Find, and promptly murder, 1 hapless gray con char xping in their frontier. Let the other one go.
2050: Timer kicks off and my char gets participation credit for said murder.
Conclusion: gray character murder does indeed reward the particpant through the RvR participation credit as stated.
There you go, buddy. That Uthred info is WRONG.
Thank you.
