Don't play solo at non off peak times or go to hadrians/odins and kill guardtaskers , if you tell me that there's no inc you have no idea and have not never been there often obviously , but please stop those always repeating ''soloing is impossible on uthgard'' threads
Your QQ won't help anyone , if people see that there is some non emain solo action they will move to other zones aswell but someone has to start...

Sometimes there is inc sometimes there isn't. is just a dice roll.

Aside from being inflammatory, your essential point misses the mark.

Yes, people could go look for other solos in other zones. I've done it, and you're right, you do find enemy players, but people don't do it because it takes a lot of time and doesn't yield very good results. In other words, it's boring.


But I think the point was how unsportsmanlike people are with zerging anyway.

Since i was on uthgard i saw very solo fights.
I always (and i literally mean alwasy, so 100% of times) get added, even by Fg of rr10+ ppl, and even by 3 or more rr9+ sbs or ns/rangers.
I can write down the name of those losers, but since i dont want to start a flame war i wont (everyone know them btw).
Regarding the AMG thing, well i usually try to go out in odin and do personal guard on claimed keep hoping for some inc, anycase i have to go amg, and if im not zerged by the 10+ very higrr stelathers there, i can go past CG and try to have some solo.
I can understand that sologin as low rank is impossible, but adding as a high rr to kill a low rr is really for losers, in game and irl.
That's my opinion ofc.

Isavyr hits the nail

yeah isayvr got it spot on.

on a side note, the good news for the people who zerged me in those screenshots is that theyre clearly following the staff rules and are in no danger of being banned for not adding.

Solo RvR is alright as a stealther (Zergs happen but never enough to discourage me to run out solo time after time on my mincer)

I definately see the problem for visible soloers though, but it's pretty hard to "fix"..
There is some nice fair morning RvR pretty often though, but sucks for us who is basicly always at work at those times

I would definately come Odin's if people showed an interest in making in a solo zone, but need enough people interested to get it started, and requires people to actually come back and keep trying instead of giving up after a death or two

I feel people get discouraged too fast even in fair 1on1's when they lose, and instead of trying to improve or be creative with their playstyle they simply just give up and scream "xxx class is OP"..

I can name many classes that could do miles better vs me on mincer, but no one uses the tactics needed etc, people need to start thinking (and no I won't give you those tactics ofc )

That's so true

The problem with solo RvR boils down to this:

- Solo visibles don't have a rewarding time trying to RvR because they either get stealth-zerged/added or rolled by larger groups. The only exception are speed 5 classes which can save themselves most of the time. (That's also why ppl playing those classes are in no place to say "it's all fine, just deal with it", just like stealthers aren't...)
- Casters are completely underpowered in their current state when it comes to solo RvR. No +%castingspeed bonus and Purge II or III being the one of the most common RAs for solo RvR, completely negating their only form of defense.

So basicly there's a lack of potential solo classes since it's narrowed down so drasticly. Only 8 classes are actually viable solo classes.


Unless drastic measures are taken, this won't change. This also goes for the attractiveness of the the server for newcomers, the attractiveness of RvR in general and the overal satisfaction players get from playing on Uthgard. And just like those problems, I don't see this solved any time soon...

Ya, I would very rarely kill soloers when running in FGs. That has since changed, its lame, but I'd rather wipe soloers than risk bans.

Sorry.

Maybe we should rage in every thread about baning.

Funny to hear that from you.

OF fz was the first step in the wrong direction.

Yes we should, until this stupid staff mindset changes.
