"Empress"~Oil pot kills..1,000,000,000

I would name names, but I'm not supposed to and I don't have to.

i dont agree with people passing emp around, but i also don't understand what you mean? killing lots of players (ie farming at an outpost or ambushing zergs at a choke point) is some of the fastest ap you can get. dunno if you know this, but healing is up there too. you get tons of ap for healing, enough that i guess people would use it to farm. there are some high-ranking lowbies who aren't that good in a fight but earn lots of ap because they are always at the back, on siege, and get credit for lots of kills. there are many different ways to earn lots of ap. i dont see how you'd be able to tell from their kill counts that they're farmers?

a stat profile for all players would be a good thing, though. i'd like to see number of total weapon kills, spell kills, siege kills, health points healed, number of people rezzed. they have achievements for a few of those so it wouldn't be much of a stretch, and it would be a really interesting insight, especially if it was available to all to see.

Ive seen people earn Emperor the way the game intended it. Then they help all their guildmates and friends get emperor, they way the game did not intend it.

Hm so what do you think about running around in a zergball spamming 1-2 spells, intended or not? Right now that seems like the easiest way to get ap as a group.

I bring nothing more to the table. I do not believe it would benefit the community to see any stats in the long run. It'd make people wary about their own stats and try to preserve them trying to look ''good'' .. They'd hesitate to pull off suicide ganks and 'behind enemy lines' tactics. But then again I've never been fond of stats. 'You're only as good as your next fight' is what I play by.

One thing doesnt justify the other. I am on Wabbajack and it is closely contested between DC and Ep right now, and i have yet to see a successful zerg using all the same 1-2 skills. What i have seen is some massive battles that are locked in and neither force can push the other back. Ive seen battles breakout in places that arent even stratigically necessary and those places somehow become major war spots filled with siege and camps and players locked in non-stop combat....and 2-12fps. I have also seen some cheesey exploits with scrolls.

You haven't been locked down and run over by an impulse-spamming train yet?

Not in like over a month. When talons+standard+impulse+Dblood was super op, their were group of 10-15 players running around impulsing and standard killing 20,40,50 players. I havent seen that at all since back then.

... You speak as if it's currently not op. Well! either way consider yourself lucky, I'd advice not to guest Dawnbreaker EU or AB for that matter.

Yeah,i remember one of the guilds im in mentioning this problem for an enemy army that was camping inside a keep spamming impulse and what-not. The guildies decided to get boneshield up and then charged in....completely smashed them. I suppose if a guild can organize to use bone shield over and over as a tactice, that could become op the same way as a guild saying "lets all use impulse". All in all- its best to have a guild that can organize these kind of tactics and thats not op- just tactical.

@1nugam1‌
I don't get what you mean. What about stat display would make someone want to preserve themselves, and take less risks? I would think the amount of times you die, shouldn't be a necessary stat to display. Maybe I'm just not thinking enough about this. Explain moar?

I see. Thanks for clearing that up.
