awesome! Danke vielmals!
for start you can add *** DAILY *** before the topic's name and we'll keep the topic alive for people to notice it. also, there will be no duel arrangements, we're just trying to bring solo/smallman action to Odin's and perhaps create a friendly atmosphere for those who enjoy those kind of playstyles.

let's try to keep the action on a daily basis, at least during the evenings. Winstrel will probably be running tonight also, so you can expect to find two-three of us later on..

later today I will rewrite a new topic with a more detailed description (also including what people should expect to find / bump into when going there)

stuff like:

don't expect a /bow before a 1v1 - this is not a duel zone but an rvr zone
expect duos, trios, etc to hunt you down just like in emain
expect less zergs / fgs compared to emain
expect in general more respect from your enemies and your realm mates in regards of not adding
expect no special rules for you, you can't expect any staff to help you with adders, grps, etc - this is an rvr zone just like emain/hadrians

etc..

if anyone has any ideas to the topic please note them down here for me and i'll consider taking them in

Heho,

So updated for today and write a short comment on the first post.

Edit by Luydor

Topic updated

You can talk here about the action, you can also say what you like and what you don´t like on the fights with other ppls but don´t flame.

nixian, maybe it would be better not to open a new topic yet. I have a few ideas that could be used as "unwritten rules" (well, they will be written, just not supported by staff). but some of what you have written will just sound disencouraging to players (like expect duos/trios to hunt you down and you receive no support from staff). we all know that, let us try to forget that.

let's create a small community who enjoys soloing and smallman action and try to make some rules by OURSELVES. ofcourse no staff will be here to punish those who disobey the rules, but those that do not accept and follow the rules will just be frowned upon by other players.

edit: thanks for your help Luydor

as said - any suggestions are welcome - so please write down the rules you are thinking of

hahaha u will die, painfully and in shame

Thx for the support Lydor!

Nixian, I think that we should just stick to three main rules, what you wrote:

1.) expect in general more respect from your enemies and your realm mates in regards of not adding (maybe add: "And try to respect their fights too")
2.) expect no special rules for you, you can't expect any staff to help you with adders, grps, etc - this is an rvr zone just like emain/hadrians
3.) don't expect a /bow before a 1v1 - this is not a duel zone but an rvr zone

Best to keep it short and simple, rule number two covers everything else about duos/trios and adding.


Btw, is there any chance for some intervention from the staffs part, like a hint at the loading screen saying something like: "Myth: Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go anywhere they want and solo players go to Odins" or maybe a line of text mentioning Odins at the NPC in Camelot/Jord/Tnn that shouts those rumors about quests etc? Something like that would be cool, not an official designation of a zone as solo but just a mention.

Oh and another preemptive request to the mods/GMs: When the thread gets derailed with flames (which WILL happen unfortunately sooner or later), please do not lock the whole topis, but instead just delete the troublesome posts and warn/punish the flamers.

me and blue discussed the implementation of solo / 8v8 tasks at the rvr task giver..

something like:

Go find a solo player of realm Y in zone X (odins/hadrians on rotations) and bring back his message for the king to me for a rp/bp/whatever reward

or:

Go find a group of 8 from the realm of Y in zone X (odins/hadrians on rotation) and bring back their banner of war to me for a rp/bp/whatever reward

these messages / banners would then only be given if it was a clean 8v8 / solo kill.. meaning no adds, etc..

this ofc. might be bad for the "don't add" yelling etc, however it would also give an incitement for solos/8v8 guilds to go to a specific zone in order to find players with the same set of ideas about good/fun rvr..

if/when/how these quests will come we didn't really discuss though.. was more like a brainstorming of ideas to improve the use of odins/hadrians without adding a static bonus

will try, sometimes however the thread and flames become so massive that the best thing to do is to open a new thread and close the old one

I understand, it's fine I guess as long as a new topic is opened.

About the solo task suggestion: That's a very good idea, however I wouldn't rotate the zones for solos, at least not in the beginning. Better to not even name Odins so people ask around where the solo action is then rotate the zones IMO.

when we discussed it the rotation would be once / day..

so it would be rather fast to know where the solo action is..

"oh it was odins yesterday - hadrians today then"

personally I am not a fan of the rotations though.. however it would be needed at some point to make sure both odins and hadrians was used

Why not simply use HW since OG makes eyes bleed and brain hurt.

Jesus christ we had 1 reasonably good day of solo action in Odins because there was a thread put up on the forums that didn't get locked for "RvR intell" and NOW people start going frenzy about solo/8v8 ideas which are completely useless as long as this action doesn't become reliable.

Just implement a solo BP bonus in Odins from whenever the Emain population exceeds like 20 players and have it visible on the /realm tab so people know exactly when and when not to be viably going to Odin's without wasting their time.

That's all that's needed and that's all that should be there.


Specific "non adder" tasks are just going to worsen the flames and annoyances there already are. 'Unwritten' rules about Odin's for instance and rotating maps is simply unnecessary.


For once, just TRY to get the basic idea working and then you can go mess around with fluff ideas, but that's definately not now. Oh and fix the Realm Abilities, it's still as imbalanced and still narrowing down the potential of classes, especially when it comes to soloing.

well seems like some already found an easy rp spot,

after beeing ganked 4 times in a row by a groups of 3 and 4 wich are roaming there, thats it for me
