5 v 27, how to destroy a red zerg

davey1107

Bloodmayne’s doors went down, the EP zerg rushes in, sure to defeat the five defenders inside. But owing to our amazing skills, we knew we could win!

Actually...the server somehow froze only EP players and they all died in our AOEs in what was one of the most ridiculous moments I’ve seen in PvP, um, ever. To add insult to injury for EP, one of their guys wasn’t frozen, ha. He was running around healing like crazy and his poor team was just dropping.

I think they update sections of the servers over the month before the bug expansions. I think that’s why performance is so bad. The same thing happened to me the next afternoon...everything at Nikel froze, I was booted, then when I logged back in we’d lost the fight.

Poor server hamsters...you work so hard...

Your link to the video isn’t working. In fact I can’t even find it in the post

I didn’t save it. To be honest, I felt kinda bad. It was almost an exploit.

I didn’t really know what to do...we were dropping everything on them in the center of the inner keep courtyard, and at first I thought they were waiting for their group so I told my friend to drop eye of the storm. After two ticks we kinda figured it out, then they started dropping like flies.

What made it even weirder was that several of the character weren’t completely still, they were animating in a loop. So like one was animating Breath of Life over and over, and the effect was animating on his ally, but the health bar wasn’t going up and when the ally died the other guy kept recasting BoL.

I should have saved it, but we were kinda drunk, lol.

Was it kinda like this?

Sounds to me like the usual loading screen you encounter in home keeps...

@Thogard

It was exactly like that, with 27 reds in a courtyard and five golds murdering them, lol. I’ve seen this happen before, but never on that scale.

The thing that made it funniest was the one red that didn’t lag. I couldn’t hear his mic feed, obviously, but we assume he sounded a lot like Bill Paxton in Aliens.

Since you don't have a video, let me help everyone imagine how it went down!

When EP bursts the keep:

When EP sees the little small man team:

When EP all disconnect except one healer:

When lonely EP realizes hes the only one left:
