Attack an AD 1v1, runs for his life. So funny.

bg22 · May 2014

Just figured I'd make a point to laugh publicly at the AD folks in/guesting in Wabbajack. I've been at it all day today, and while I met a few (3-4) that stayed to fight... 90% of the AD I've attacked today literally just run for their lives immediately upon bein attacked, only to turn and fight when the numbers are 3/1. It cracks me up...

You can see where all the "skilled" DAoC players went, faction wise. HAHAHA

Thanks for the laughs.

Maybe you should make note of their level/rank vs your own.

I dont ever try to run, simply because nightblades have no way to actually run. That said, I've found that as a sub-50, engaging anyone v1 or above I'll typically only have a 30-40% chance of coming out of it alive (if it's a one on one fight), and engaging anyone v8-10 is a sure suicide.

Beyond that, one on one fights are almost impossible to come by in the first place. This game is all about zerg pvp, and the zerg mentality is that you stick with the crowd and avoid skirmishes.

Which would kill the entire game faster than you can say "cancel subscription".

according to YOU and only YOU.
as soon as a alliance gets strong and dominates a campaign every one leaves that campaign. and now we simply have only campaigns that dominate AD, EP, or DC. i stay true to my campaign.

my comment stands troll if you like, and i will ignore you, but my comment stands.
open world pvp is the only answer.
the game is only allowed 200 players on a screen so basicly the game screwed itself and gives no choice but open world pvp.

I stopped PvPing since all you Auriel's Bow and Bloodthorn players came to Wabbajack and ruined it.

lol I fight everyone, but I prefer 1v1's vs VR10's, since they give around 7k VP per kill. Even they run if they're alone. The lack of skill that AD possess 1v1 blows my mind. Literally.

As soon as you're force to do more than dodge roll back in the direction of your zerg, you are clueless. (By "you" I mean the majority of AD that I've been pvp'ing, which is a LOT).

Nox_Aeterna · May 2014

Why don't you go back to Auriel's bow. The campaign that AD literally scared all of you pact and covenant players from

Why would I do that? They're all guesting in Wabba now. Sooooo, they're included in my OP.

Oh, and I've never even been to AB, kiddo.

Stereotyping all of a large group of people(including in video games) is stupid. Period. I also don't fight v10 DKs( No idea what you are), there is no point when I know the outcome will result in a VERY long fight in which I win(if the DK is bad), or the more likely option, I will lose. Either way it's not worth the effort, Id rather move on and find something else.

Tintinabula · May 2014

seriously..you could say the same thing about hiding.."all ppl who go into hide mode are running"...It's just silly. Im dumb..I rarely run while my BF screams at me on vent TO run. PVP Pixels deaths cost nothing in this game unfortunately so why the heck not?..right?..

Tonight I needed to suicide in order to get back to main gate..so..I charged the zerg...and my team mates followed and we mowed through..and I didnt die!....then I charged their forum camp for certain I would die...and I didnt die!...then..I chased them up a hill and could not die...finally I met the right enemy that killed me took about 30 mins..usually it takes about 3 secs lol :P

retreating to use terrain or look for help or to hide seems very valid to me.When I go into hide mode I dont look for the zerg..I look for stragglers...those on the out skirts of the group. That either makes me an opportunist..or a smart player or both.:D

I'll clarify this. As AD has practically dominated every campaign aside from one or two, it is actually sad to see us so dominating and have enemies leave. Now that Wabbajack seems to be the most competitive, ex Auriel Bow ADs has started pouring in and looks like slowly but surely EP and DC will move out in search of greener pastures once again.

The only ones who can fix this cycle are the devs. It is just the fact that AD in full force cant be outzerged by anybody, we seem to have an endless supply of players at times.

PvDoor/Walls are not fun for anybody

How would you do open world pvp? You can't see anyone from the other factions. They aren't releasing that until who knows when.

The ONLY place you can interact with other alliances is in Cyrodiil.

So unless you want to run around ganking noobs in your own alliance like a d-bag, what you want ain't happening any time soon.

yea, I don't mind fair fights. I don't know what the numbers have to be for AD to get a lock but until recently I've always been seeing comparable numbers in groups. I will freely admit I left bloodthorn weeks ago because how am I supposed to learn what to cast and where to cast and situational awareness when the ONLY situation I was facing was ZERG??! There's only so many ways you can die when ten different enemies are attacking you and you have no backup.
I never feel a sense of accomplishment when a group I'm in kills ONE enemy. I usually "say wrong place wrong time"..The only true enjoyment is when numbers and ranks are fairly balanced.

Igolbug · May 2014

I can handle the AD zerg for the mostpart.

It's when that AD zerg have taken all the keeps on AB and THEN Guest on Wabbajack so that they have all the keep bonuses and Emperor buffs with their zerg.

You mean when EP from both AB and BT bandwagoned to wabba and made it one-sided?
