A fun fight from last night that I wanted to share while servers are down. Enjoy

Nice Clips. The rezzing mechanic really needs added difficulty or some sort of repeat penalty. soo painful watching groups in a fight like that go for rez's so often. Thankfully it didn't work out for them here.

Beauteous.

Thank you, and yeah that’s gotta be one of the most frustrating things when fighting heavily outnumbered. It adds another layer of difficulty over an already challenging situation. On the flip side tho, a well timed res can also be super clutch when you are outnumbered as well. I’d like to see a heavy penalty for a failed res to make it a high risk/reward decision.

The infamous "Zombie Zerg" as we like to call them. They just keep coming back again and again. When fighting against a more numerous foe it can become almost impossible to stop all the rezzes from going out due to the near constant movement required to survive the incoming damage.

Rez should come with more than just low / no resources. You should have a short timer of rez sickness where you're essentially useless. 50% damage reduction or something. It can last 30s to a minute. A player dying should have impact.

It should have more impact, agreed. I'd like to see at least added penalties for multiple deaths in X amount of time. Even if we conceed and say ok first res can be as is now, nothing changes. But then maybe if you die again within X amount of time being rezzed you are then on a cooldown for Y minutes. They already have this kind of mechanic for camps.

Obviously this would not apply to the rez at keep or way shrine. Those should always be immediately available.

If you make a newly rezed player usless for 30+ seconds, you might as not bother rezzing them at all. In most fights, they will just be dead again.

The fact that another player has to stop and take time to rez and the rezed player doesn't go immediately to 100 % health and resources without a healer or shards/potion, etc is risky enough. If the enemy team can't see and interrupt the rez that's their problem

Again..this existed in DAOC....

people wonder why I repeat myself on that game...Because you have so many mechanics in that game that didn't make it over to this game..that freakin need to be in this game.

If rezzing a player is useless if you have to wait 30 sec, that doesn't make me think the game should try to make that player useful by making their deaths be irrelevant. It makes me think that player should be given an incentive not to die immediately.

Real OP.

Can’t get small scaled if you don’t attempt to zerg people down. Ez.

Thank you! This was one of the best fights I’ve had in a long time. Fighting an organized and coordinated group of high level players running the most broken gear and mechanics, while outnumbered, has got to be one of the toughest challenges in the game. I literally had a sloads/duroks/zaan magicka dk glued to me the entire fight while running only one shield. We weren’t even in comms, I still don’t know how we pulled it off.

Thank you I really appreciate your sentiments! But to give credit where it’s due, there are a couple of other really good AD players and groups that have been keeping the dying embers of small scale alive in these dark days for the faction. I’m still a DC stamboy at heart so it doesn’t feel right taking the credit for this!

You should play on AD with meh

For sure my dude. Got my AD sorc & stamden locked and loaded.

I will say tho, the biggest downside to pvping on AD is that you can’t farm AD.

Really nice vid! Need more vids like this, with good music.

Very impressive!

Joshlenoir · August 2018

Damn nice video dude!
Really good plays. People always underestimate the few slayers on AD because we're 99% snipe spammers lol. We're definitely getting together when I come back.

PrxgaHe

Also don't mind the dislikes, some large groups don't like losing to fewer numbers

Thanks bud, and definitely. When you get back we should put together some groups with the KS guys and Adamant ppl that still play. I’d really like that. Let’s give the faction loyalists something to really cry about
