Just because I've been only only one on uthgard doesn't mean I'm noob at it. You can't be noob at it. If you are, you have a mental disability.

It's like saying someone is noob at breathing because they don't try hard. If you can't breathe, you have a disorder in your respiratory system.

It's the one thats the hardest to master. If you master 8v8 skill, you will have no trouble in any other aspect of DAoC RvR. That's why it's regarded as the cherry on the pie when it comes to RvR skill.

DG why not go back to Malmo and guard the mighty dragon?

Adding/Zerging is boring

Oh yes. The unquestionable superior skill of the members of 8vs8 gankgroups. Like the skill of the assist-tank. Following your MA accross the battlefield, spamming /assist, /stick, and backstyle+anytimer. Oh yes, and synchronized use of charge - that's like, totally hard. You can't learn stuff like that soloing. And not in zergs either, because zergs are just too lame, full of mindless lemmings unable to achieve anything on their own.

Actually spamming assist macro is a sign of a lazy newb tank. It's much more efficient to assist by paying attention to what's going on.

How can you learn to assist when soloing ? There's nobody to assist. Assisting in zergs ? Just follow the blob and press the nearest target key and you're assisting a few people just by doing that.

Well said. I know you tried to be ironic, but it's not, it's the truth.

There is a LOT more skill managing a zerg succesfully than 8 vs 8 assist tank grp.

No not really. Just say ATTACK in the battlegroup.

Doubt it's hard if the clueless zerg players have some brains

You're missing the point .

Of course Zergs will have lots of mindless lemmings. But it's no different in gankgroups really. Most of them consist of 3 or 4 really good players at most, plus the lemmings that just manage to tag along. 'Mastering 8vs8 Skill' in many cases just means finding a good group leader to follow. Not much different from the zerg scenario really.

I don't know what a gankgroup is. 5 stealthers with high mos, that sounds like a gank group. An 8man looking for other 8man groups to fight doesn't sound like a gank group.

Oh, let me help you then 'Gankgroup' is a term that has been used as an alternate term for '8man group' in most of the bigger daoc-related forums for ages already.

No, that would be what is usually referred to as a 'stealth zerg'.

An 8man looking for other 8man groups to fight doesn't sound like a gank group.

Don't know. What's so different about an 8man group looking to fight other 8man groups compared to a 5 man stealther group looking to fight other 5 man stealther groups ?

The fact that those stealthers will gank soloers, duos, trios and 4 mans. An 8man group who doesn't attack groups with fewer numbers can't be gankers. If you're wondering why, look the terms "gank" or "ganking" up on the internet.

Did you know, that DAoC is NOT an 8vs8 game? Go play GuildWars for stuff like that ...


May the Zerg be with us!

Oh yes, sure, that wouldn't be a 'gankgroup' then. The correct name for what you describe there is, of course, a 'hypothetical group'.
