Molag Bal Bomblade Time?

Shadzilla

@Sypher @NightbladeMechanics @Blobsky @andy_s

There is a massive amount of ball groups full of noobs running around the center of the sewers during this event. I know the whole bomblade thing is frowned upon, but I personally find it downright hilarious. I have 100k gold for anyone on PC NA that submits a 20 kill+ video on this thread during this event, for the entertainment of the community.

i would offer to match this for xbox EU but since i would probablly be one of the victims i say simply - enjoy my telvar!

NightbladeMechanics

Oh those vids would be fun to watch! Hmmm. I might be bothered to go into bomb spec to meet your challenge. Such a hassle, though. We'll see.

Regardless, bombing isn't frowned upon, and I've had 3-4 bombers coordinating together to feed on these big zergs every evening since the event started. 25-35 kills is pretty standard for their bombs on the big blobs of PvEers, with 20 being a reasonable number for a solo bomb.

I think my personal max is still 48 from one of those double AP events. The EP stacked too tightly on Ales mine flag after taking the keep.

Wear impen, kids!

Nonononononono, once per player only, or kena would take 20m off me in the next week alone. Make sure you are solo, I don't wanna see any 6 man bomb groups.

Imno bomber and didnt do it alone but it is fun to impact a20+ group while greatly outnumber and just take them all by surprise .

You see the panic for the few survivors running everywhere :-D you can finish them easily

Looks like Vicious Dead prices will go up again

You know you are a horrible person right? What kind of a **** does crap like that to people who are 90% of the time not even PvPers? If you want to kill Bal, go to the server that your alliance is in the sewers on. Why is it that for some people their fun has to come at the expense of decimating somebody else's?

Morgul667

So you're saying we should not PVP in a PVP zone ?

mmmmh okay

or this is a troll ?

It is a pvp zone. Pvpers do not go into pve only with pre concieved notions of killing other players.

i killed an 8man by myself on friday with my DK doin some leaps2win, (w/ help from a boss),... can i get partial credit?

Thogard

ugh just tried. the problem with bombing those groups is that the stupid bosses will attack you with their AOEs even if you aren't attacking the bosses, which will pop you out of stealth. Just got birded to death QQ. took only two with me. I think i'd need to be an actual bomblade for this to work.

Horrible people kick puppies. Submit your evidence of said puppy kicking, or forever hold your salt.

you appear to be missing the point, they dont want to kill ball... they want to kill you (well the PvEers who make themselves such easy targets)

i could provide some very basic information at this point as to how to avoid getting 1vXed, but tbh im making a killing in telvar killing the bombers after they kill the zerg of noobs im running with so....

Try this on EU when I'm standing in the middle of my group with 53k health and healing the group, OR I spot you and chuck a spear at you knocking you back out the group before you have the chance to see what happened you are dead and get tabgged xD

I will say we shouldn't have pve rewards in a pvp zone.
Keep the achievement to attract players and keep the pvpers stocked with some targets who value that invisible number(to others) over their survival, but move all the pve rewards such as the dye and pet and skin to other methods of attaining them outside pvp zones.

I have been their once myself to get the Transliminal Violet dye and never want to go back because I hate pvp in this game. I definitely understand why people would be there for just pve because it is just a pve objective. You can't even cooperate with other alliances for it since any AoE you use against the boss also damages your "allies".

Is anyone still dying with bomblades these days? Any shield you have on you, and I mean ANY, regardless how big or small it is, and you are saved. And even without shield, if enough health, you are saved too. So, honestly, players are still dying with this skill?

Manage to get a 20k+ tel-var bomb of yesterday in sewers. Was amazing

olsborg

Somebody offered to liven up his coffee with a shot of ten-year-old single malt.

people will always die to that, there will always be players in keeps and resources who think that they are safe and can rest a bit

RaddlemanNumber7

Committing this kind of atrocity would be a very attractive prospect to one of my characters (this would be Role Playing). And she's a magblade.

Instant mass-murder seems so much more fun than stabbing NPC's through the head with her BoW. She wouldn't be bothered about dying herself (she's the vestige), and wouldn't care how much telvar she would get.

So, I was just wondering, with all these do-gooder bomb-blade-killers around, does Pheonix pair well with VD? Does anybody know? Please tell.

I think that bombers are getting worse and worse with every week. There was a time when they were killing whole zergs, but now they hardly kill 5 players and sometimes not even one. One guy didn't even kill me when I had 17,5 hp and no block. But it's still annoying that some people wait just before Maolog Bol spawn and ruin someone's day. Yeah you have few tel var stones, but you are just being an ***. Don't get me wrong, I understand that for some people bombing is the only way to accomplish anything (and for some not), but you can just do it right after Molig Baul died when players have their sweet loot, but also low health so you can kill more of them and everyone is happy.

from what i have witnessed over the last few days

group of pve players zerg molag,

molag dieas & explodes - noobs eat the damage (some die - most are just taken to execute)

bomber finishes off the job earns telvar

i kill bomber - earn telvar

noobs cry

rhapsodious

Yeah I haven't seen nearly as many successful bombs, although once I figured out what gear/bars I wanted it's pretty easy to avoid being killed. I think I died like twice? to people over the weekend, and to my great shame I was probably farming for a total of 15 hours with no dumb skin.

Protips for those of you who are dying repeatedly to bombers or groups trying to run in:

1. DON'T. STAND. AROUND. Seriously, I see people unstealthed standing right next to the group, screwing around in their inventory or what have you. You might as well have a neon target above your head. Oh, wait, you do! Your alliance shield! Okay it's not neon but shut up.

2. Don't immediately go in to loot the bosses. I actually back away right before they die, and come in a few seconds after everyone else has gathered their stuff. That moment when everyone is crowding around the tiny pile of ash is go time for boom time.

3. Look around the room! PVP is like 70% situational awareness. Notice those trash mobs in front of the entryway are conspicuously absent? Suspish. Also don't kill those trash mobs in front of the entryways. They're your free, crappy lookouts. Yes, you'll have to listen to rhapsodizing about the simple depravity of the Daedrat, or that Khajiit are too gamey, but it's a small price to pay for a warning system.

But y'all are gonna all ball up anyway, so if you need me I'll be playing it smart and not getting bombed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you TC for this thread! For a moment I thought I was on EvE forums.

So awesome!
