NA PC BWB second attempt

Adenoma

No, that was what we did in ERPvP. Don't ask.

@vamp_emily - Well if it makes people feel any better, I work 4 - 10 hour days instead of 5 - 8 hour days, so they aren't technically "vacation" days.

And I know some of AD people can be mean... supposedly I'm one of them.

And speaking of ERPvP... I gotta finish that next episode one of these days.... Maybe that's what I'll do today instead of making samples of scheduling documents.

2 weeks and I'm on vacation. Watch out BwB for Stridig will break out the secret weapon and bring peace to our lands. Lol. Just kidding. I'm terrible at this game. Or am I ?

Mjollo

One more week and I'll finally be able to get back into this game! I tried playing my level 11 on my friends poop set up earlier this week...Yah never again lol. The keyboard and mouse couldn't even register my weaves and animation cancelling so most of the time it just looked like I was light attacking. Rip to me.

I'm a lurker, nobody knows who I am and that's fine but I do read this every day and wanted to make my first post in here after watching this derail.

This thread has had such a feeling of community and reminds me often why I've chosen to make my home in BWB and not 'graduate' to a vet campaign (the people). Sure there's competition in BWB but the people here are respectful to each other both in and out of the game for the most part. It's awesome to see the same people, hear their stories and perspectives as it plays out differently than your own on the battlefield. It's awesome people have realm pride and are strongly behind their team (GO EMILY). It's awesome to feel like you kinda know the people you spend so much time fighting with and against. That's beginning to be hard to find in multiplayer games these days and probably why you're in BWB too.

However, ego and "I'm going to show you how much better I am than you" or "you're playing wrong" is so contrary to that feeling of community (and how this thread has gone up to this point) that it's hard to enjoy what's going on in here right now. I'm going to be bummed when we don't have a place to hang out (this is closed/locked) because people think they're bigger and more important than the overall community.

Hi

Sometimes this thread needs people like you to put us back on track.

The last few days, I have been trying to be good. I really really wanted to say some bad things, but would have been hated by everyone. I hate holding things inside sometimes, and when I do let my frustration out.. i kind of go overboard.

Stridig

Why you all so quiet? This thread is one of the main reasons I can make it through work every day. Ha

Celestial_Rift

I was just at a "cook-out" for work and we got to leave early... So now I'm heading to the Farmers Market and then home to get that Frothgar recipe.

FROTHGARS FOR EVERYONE!

Stridig

Really good fight at Nikel. We take Nikel with 4 people and AD takes it back with 20. Good times. Lol

W0lf_z13

Doing pretty good tonight even with AD pop-locked again.

The unspoken rule has been broken and someone needs to pay the consequences

This morning 20+ players came strolling into the gate near High Rock to retrieve the scroll. 6 of those members sat at the wall of Southern High Rock Gate and farmed the 3 DC members.

For the 30 minutes I was there, AD camped us as we jumped off the walls of High Rock when they could have easily walked in took the scroll and left.

I am here seeking justice and sympathy for the 3 DC members that repeatedly died such a brutal death. AD needs to pay the consequences for breaking the unspoken rule.

To the members that fought hard this morning, I solute you! Rest in peace for those that will not be returning to the game.

kit_sune

Ad is full of a bunch of ***. I'm sure there were some telling ad not to do that but we can't control them all.

@skepticalfox u ran away from my lute playing last night ... i stood fairly close to u ( hidden though ) and played the lute... did u hear it? lol

No disrespect to the Wolf, you would have died. Cold fire was not even phasing them.

id be happy with taking one out at a time even if it took multiple deaths.... id still t-bag each one even if i was getting killed while doing so...

Gosh I want to go kill them all.. but stuck at work.. grrr.

W0lf_z13

... yeah, im stuck at work till 5 ... then have to do some cleaning when i get home before i jump in game

Valen_Byte

Sorry, that is AD's new security protocall. A unit is automatically deployed if DC tries to have fun too early in the day. Sorry, I dont make the rules. ; ))

Adenoma

If any of them were GoNB, message me and I'll take care of that. I don't my alliance doing that and I certainly don't want my guild members doing that. Sorry DC had to deal with that, @vamp_emily .

@DeadlyRecluse and I have a bit of an inside joke from when we first became friends during our emp pushes when DC camped our gates a while back when Frugal was emp. #rememberfrugalwedneaday.

There have been a couple less than admirable AD and DC reigns that have had some literal camping at the drop off since. I think some AD guilds kicked members over that, though.

I'm really impressed when people can stand in cold fire and take no damage. I have played since release, run just about every build imaginable, and have still never found that 1% build. The one that 1% of the player base has figured out. I have tanked groups of 6 while my friends pick them off one by one. Then there are those that can come in and 2 shot me while taking zero damage. It appears I still have some work to do.

Sounds like the same guy I met. I was looking for every opportunity to kill one of them and then this 2H NB comes in and slices right thru my unstoppable shield like its nothing. I and someone else was fighting him while other guy hit him with cold fire. I was thinking.. "Ya I can kill him now", but his health never even moved an inch.

I bet it is some gear combination that is allowing him to take no damage.

W0lf_z13

@vamp_emily might be wearing shield breaker

kit_sune

@W0lf_z13 to be honest, you have started a small time band behind me and I wouldn't have noticed it. I was out of it yesterday, pvp' for about an hour and that's it

It would be nice to see ZoS do what EverQuest 2 did and disallow players to receive pvp rewards if in a group of more than 6. That goes a long way in discouraging the plague that is zerging.

Capping in-game group size at 12 rather than 24 would help some too. Probably not solve it, as often the pugzergs are made up of several loose groups, but it would help.

Zos DID make some changes to AP gain so that you get more RFTW in a smaller group, as you make more AP, but that mechanism is obscure enough I doubt a lot of people factor it into their playstyle/decision process.

Hopefully the city capture mechanic spreads out the pugzergs a bit.

I think a lot of people on here are missing the problem. It isn't about zerging. It is more about Campaign Balance, flip flopping sides, and changing campaigns.

This certainly doesn't help. I will say, for the first time in a while, after AD crowned we just got hammered. It was pretty awesome. Didn't feel like the normal "Faction X emped, time to log on to faction X" nonsense.

I dont think the town/quest hub capture will do much except add more targets for gankers in that area

it may add a new dynamic to scroll runs though

W0lf_z13

@skepticalfox lol ah... u were in front of a keep ( i think it was Roe ) and u were on ur mount standing still... then rode off toward nik when i was playing lol

We still have this day though...

Can't really blame em >.<

Unstoppable isn't a shield, it's just a resistance buff and give a couple seconds of immovablity. It must honestly have been have good self healing with vigor and rally cause I can take a cold fire to the face if my heals are on point

W0lf_z13

@skepticalfox i think it partially works as one.... when i have it active and get hit in my combat log it says "your shield absorbed X damage "
