Summer time ^^ from weds. I will start being more active ^^ Uni time again

Quit your job/girlfriend/family and any other hindering RL ****** to play on Uthgard in the early morning/late night. Then you might have some kinda fun roaming solo.

Otherwise change the game or reroll on another DAoC servers ...

This thread been around since half a year now and the situation even got more worse ...

You can find solos, just have to know where to look and dont expect there to always be steady traffic. Here is a few places to look.

Emain

Avoid the gates if you want to solo and not get killed by grps. They are hot spots and will see more people, but at the cost of any kind of solo action. Try areas away from the gates, and are well known to be traveled. If your a visable, try hiding in the trees or behind one. Standing in the open will just get you spotted by grps much easyer. Some good areas i have found in the past are.

* On the hill side between AMG and MMG or a little down by the road.
* If you can get past a gate, you can look for Albs , Mids or even Hibs roaming around there, ether going to a gate from the PK or doing what your doing and waiting for the PK runners.
* Learn the horse routes and pick a good ambush spot. Choosing one close to the exit part of the horse route will be more dangerous.

Hadrians/Odins

Since these zones have less traffic, the gates may work better for finding solos, but dont stand in the door way or youl find a few roaming grps, one and a while. ALways have a hiding spot. Here is a few places to find enemys.

* Gates as explained above.
* Learn the full horse route and find a good ambush spot. Unlike emain, these horse routes go all the way to Hadrian / Odin.
* Watching your enemys PK for travelers.
* Roads between Hib Gate and Odin/Hadrian could be a good spot, just find a spot where there is mobs on the hill side, to prevent your enemy from taking an alternate path.

Darkness Falls

If you own DF or have a char in there, you can normaly find low level gankers to hunt down, who will normaly be lvl 50. No need to explain where, just stick to your side and protect your realm, or go to the enemy side and search for lvl 50s, or gank some low lvls and give me more solo kills . If you hunt on hib side that is.

Yes there is times i wish there was some reworking to move the main RVR out of emain, and into other zones, or improve the keep action, but for now this is what you need to do.

How to backpedal and spam 2 styles should be the name of this thread, god that vid in the op is bad

seems you know really nothing on the solo situation on uthgard.

Yeah u hug each other to death and hope nobody is attacking you If u r rolled by grps solos rage quit and tell them they dont get the competetive part of the game

lol why you all bothering about soloing if i manage to get a group with my friar(which is imposible duo to me or my class doenst mater) i will surly playing one but most of the times ( %95) i run solo and i manage to get solo duo fights which makes me happy.

i dont care about being added or add but i generaly atack the guys that atack me isnted taking initial strike whether they are visiable or not. and when i run i always see albs standing on gates of amg (mostly scouts and infis) hibis on trees before amg or trees on hill going to brifene for mid part they be on everywhere when solo duoing

for zerging on stlhers part all park on amg to dominate other stlhers.
so to get rid of being zerged just keep your distance on these spots to and lure them somewhere and you will find your 1v1 chances .
i ilways hated camping one place so will newer camping hourse routes.
flaming someone who killed you more then 2 is meaningless realy if i dont want some die that i know i will try to heal him or help him on melee that is what i play this game for

Can i join your movie? We could waiting in front of DL during 1h 30 mins

I just went thru and read all of the prior posts on this topic, and once again I couldnt agree more with what Eclipse had to say on the topic. There is solo action to be had on Uthgard. At the moment it does require a good amount of effort to accomplish but it can be achieved. I would also agree that 75% of the issue is the community and not the set up. If you want to solo you should not go running to AMG just to sit there and wait for a nice stealther or visi to come up and duel you 1 vs 1. It can happen, but more often then not your going to get added or outnumbered. Hang back by the silo in emain, or on the hill between crim and bolg valleys. Head between AMG and MMG and wait for inc that way. Basically, everyone is complaining because as a whole the majority of players do not use the whole "1 vs 1" mentality, and the ones that do expect everyone else to just honor this.

Since I've put in a rough estimate on my feelings on this I would like to now post some of the issues that I have with this "1 vs 1" mentality. I would like to point out that I will use some char names in this to prove a point and this is in NO way a flame or a complaint to them. I can't stress this enough, I am only using names as an example.

The other night I was on my ranger (Zacknafein) and was solo for my first 2 hours of play. I went to AMG and right off the bat by the silo I see a mid tank and a alb inf (duna) fighting. I watched, didnt add, and respected their fight. As I was watching I seen an inf (Jigen) moving towards them. I turned and shot Jigen and we had a nice lil 1 vs 1 battle of our own and all things were good in the land of DAOC. After I won that fight, I went up to the mile gate and seen several other alb stealthers. I popped one and was very swiftly taken out by 2 infs, a mintril, and a healer. I kept going back out solo and maybe getting 1 or 2 kills and then would get beaten by add’s or zerg’s or whatever you want to call it. After a couple hours of this my buddy (Austerim/Locien) logged in and said he was coming out. I enjoy group action, even as a stealther, and I was getting ganged up on so I brought Locien with me on my next ride out. We get to AMG and right off the bat I see Jigen going for Locien and I see 2 other stealthers right behind him moving in. I have no clue if these stealthers are going to add or if they are grouped w/ him and he pop’s Locien so I start shooting Jigen. We kill Jigen then get killed shortly by the other stealthers.

Now here is where it gets funny, Jigen logs in on his hib account to basically call me an adder and a bad player because I only run in #’s. It took all of about 1.5-2 hours for him to completely forget that I had just fought him in a fun solo battle. Not to mention that he seems to forget about him and Goemon running duo from RR1L1-6L+. I will admit, they both run solo a lot now, but not always. I think Jigen and Goemon are both great players, and I do really enjoy when I get to fight one of them 1 vs 1, but many times they are grouped or I’m grouped and its not like we can just say to each other over the game, “Hey, I’m solo and not grouped so please fight me 1 vs 1.”

Basically, I enjoy solo fights and I enjoy group fights, and I shouldn’t have to be stuck with one (solo) just because I play a stealther, and how am I supposed to be in a group w/ somebody and let them get killed because I want to make sure its being honorable? Basically, just because a person add’s, zergs, or whatever you want to call it realise that sometimes it’s just a misunderstanding. I will admit, that there have been times in which I added unfairly into a fight, and usually its because that particular player has done the same to me, and sometimes it’s just that I’m grouped. The Covenant gets a bad rap for “stealth zerging” but the fact is that we run w/ anywhere from solo to up to 4 people. I would not exactly count 4 at the high end as a zerg, and I don’t feel like just because my main is a ranger that I should be forced to have to solo at all times.

No offense Zack, but I'm sick of players (Nixian, Eclipsed, et al) from the stealth zerg realm saying there's no problem with stealth zergs. It's very self-centered, and also naive of you to think that because you, as a Ranger player, can go a couple hours without being ganged or added that this is the norm for players in other realms.

I don't believe in 1v1 elitism and I never have. I will add fights based on a number of factors, but I will also respect a fair duel when ever possible. You seem to be the same way.

However, don't treat the luxury you have of hiding behind the hib stealth zerg as if it is the norm for everyone else.
