Hahaha..pretty much! I play Mid and Alb and it happens with every realm. Unfortunately, no one criticizes their own realm. Or, when they do, zerglings get offended.


"They didn't ask us if we don't like zerging"
"They zerg us!"

Zerging makes people stop RvRing

And no argument anyone refutes that. Tell your realmmates to f*** off and stop zerging--politely--and maybe we can arrest this unsportsman-like attitude.

Seriously, I would love for stealthers from all realms to stop the zerging. It's kind like what came first the chicken or the egg cause we'll never know which realm "zerged first" but seriously, stealth zerging is just a giant skilless spamfest. No fun at all.

Much agreed :) I did it for a long time as that was the only way I could manage to stay alive out there on my ranger at low RR's since it seemed every other realm did this. The problem was that after awhile as soon as my guild's 3-4 stealthers would go out and kill 1 person all the action would dissappear. The other realms stealthers knew that unless they could bring similiar numbers there was no reason to go back out. Since I realised that I have quit doing this. The only time I come out with more then myself is when I've been added on by other stealthers.

For example: I will go out solo. If I try and fight a stealther or visi solo and 2 mid or alb stealther come up and kill me a couple times then your damn right i'm going to bring a buddy next time.

Also, on a slight side note, I will say that 8 vs 8 stealther wars are fun, as are 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3, and so on, but if you are going to run w/ those kind of numbers and you see a solo stealther, dont zerg him. Have 1 person in your group try and kill him and if he fails then another finish the guy off. At least with that method everyone gets some rps and has fun. By doing this you will encourage him to keep coming back.

One more thing Mauriac, I will admit that you are solo 85% of the time I see you, but just in the last couple weeks i've seen you grouped up some. Also, I have made comments to several people that have added in on my battles from my own frontier (Hib) and some listen and some dont. If your ever fighting me and another hib jumps in and i pull my blades down then quit attacking me and kill the adder :)

In the last couple weeks I've still been solo but I have been in the same area as some of the stealth zergs (everyone has to pass through AMG anyway to get out) and out of frustration I've jumped into fights a couple times that I normally would not have just to get some RPs which I'm not really glad I did. I'd rather keep my reputation intact because at least some of the of better stealthers like Thyrin, Priska, etc I get some respect and don't get zerged/added. The last couple times I've seen you you were solo as well so ty :grin:

I wouldn't know from a stealther perspective how soloing is anymore as i deleted my main some months ago, but from a healing warden's point of view it's difficult, I'm not picky though i'll take every kind of Rvr there is to offer here, solo, small man, fg, zergs, i love 'em all, rolling people and getting rolled :!:

It's rough. There are several groups of skilless stealthers in all realms that group up 5+ almost everday at AMG and make it hard for solo sneaks and small 2-4man groups of visis because they add everything in sight and gank each other all day. I suppose perhaps that is fun for them but to me if you need to group with a lot of people as a stealther in order to get RPs you're either A) terrible at the class B) probably want to just WTFpwn all in sight and when that doesnt happen its a sign of (see point A) and C) want faster action so probably should have just rolled a visi.

Stealthers were never designed to wtfpwn all in sight they were designed to be extremely dangerous 1v1 or in small groups but part of that relies on being opportunistic and not just selective the right targets but also at the right time. Some people don't have the patience for this and want to just steamroll everyone but because they can't pull it off (because they don't understand how to play the class) they make up for their lack of patience and skill with sheer numbers IE brute force to just overpower targets. IMO it's a skilless as well as mindless way to play.

I'm sick of that "it's impossible to solo so i have to zerg". I agree that for albs it's a bit tougher to pass AMG, but scouts can do it (camo) and minstrels can do it (speed/SoS), and even infis can do it safely sometimes (fga amg, albzerg amg :D ).

Most people that I see complaining about non-existent solo-rvr keep running back to AMG over and over and over again, like robots.

See it that way: No matter what realm you come from, it usually takes 8-10 minutes to get back to Emain/AMG/MMG/...
So, if you die at AMG zerg, you might leech some RPs but have to wait/run/... another 8-10 minutes to re-enter RVR.

If you avoid AMG, you might have to wait 3, maybe even 5 or 8 minutes to get solo inc. But you will!!

People are just gettin too impatient and any efforts to reduce downtime make them crying for more instant-RvR.

Let's all repeat the following lines:

BE PATIENT. AVOID AMG. HAVE FUN.
BE PATIENT. AVOID AMG. HAVE FUN.
BE PATIENT. AVOID AMG. HAVE FUN. (GET SOLO INC... :) )


If you don't even know where to go besides AMG, check the "heat map" that blue posted in some other thread. It's a good indicator where you can find how much inc in Emain.

That's why I try not to spend much time at AMG. Unfortunately since I have to pass through it go anywhere it tends to be difficult to get past the 18349734 rangers with mos4. Or players like Almidar who just play the roll of MoSbot for 3-4 other mid visis.

I prefer to camp MMG or hang out in briefine / crauch gorge but thats a long walk without speed :(
