i do know and appreciated epic zerg fights in the back. especialyl when there was relic raid times on camlann. but these fights were always a challenge, special. on uthgard it is really boring, i dont know why. just no challenge here, its often just the numbers winning.

but it IS something special, that no other MMO reached so far. Concerning skill in grp fights Guildwars 2 is way superior to daoc, try to build a grp for pro tournaments there and you will see. You need way more tactics and movement as well as button mashing skills.

But it is all instanciated grp pvp on always the same maps. While the open world zerg fights in all these games just suck. If you ever attended some of the brain afk raids in warhammer or guildwars 2 for example you see very soon that daoc zergfights need way more skills and player interaction. Besides are implemented a lot better on the performance side.

As latest example you can't just say mids won on the zergevent with numbers, it was quite equal between mids and albs. And all 6 relics were in alb. You need a lot of tactic and player interaction in zergfights, every single player and his actions can make a difference.

The fight we lost was due to the albs that managed to get in our back and kill healer and soft targets from behind. If this happened due to leader commands, solo decicion of the grps or just happened somehow doesn't matter here. It made a severe difference.

partly true.
at some point quantity > quality. and this point was clearly reached :)

For sure there is a point where numbers > skill, but the albzerg was also close to 150. So it wasn't just the numbers that made midgard win 4:1 :wink:

And don't get me wrong, i never said or thought that the big zerg rvr is the only thing that makes daoc unique.

The 3 realms with (more or less) really different classes and skills is quite unique, the long CC duration is something i haven't seen in any other MMO... to name just some other outstanding aspects.

But the zerg game is one of the aspects of daoc that is after more than 12 years still the best i have seen in any MMO.

At the end the Alb zerg was closer to 100, not 150. :wall:
[3:10pm] <myrmidon^> You have to be a c*** to be awesome at daoc
[3:10pm] <myrmidon^> that's what I learnt
[3:11pm] <Frosty_> then why does austerim suck

The group that runs up against them can't kill them fast enough because smite clerics have sooooooo many tools at their disposal combined with decent ranged damage with 8 of them dudes doing it!

the bg* not the zerg. zerg was way smaller and was never bigger than 100 imo. but anyways, was fun :)

after we killed the 3fgm that u watched, we met albgrp and went for the midzerg again to jamt, i dont know where the problem is sorry^^ i dont know how u say we ran away lol.
after that we went to emain and met u again.
i really dislike the ****** - talk, just deal with the add, it happens and was not intended by anyone.
in the second fight we were added by albs, but really, who fking cares about this^^
