ForumHow to Solo
|
To me there is not much difference between Agra and OF. Only one is that you could avoid MG stealth zergs by using different MG. Now it is impossible. And for those who think you can do solo in Odins. My yesterdays summary: -4 hours amg-atk -5 inc -one of them low lvl THX for imba fun:D I had more incs in our old NF Emain 3 years ago on 10 am:D At least we're classic now^^ |

It's kind of frustrating to solo sometimes - yes -, but overall it works better for me than expected. Even if those great guilds like Black Adders / Dioses annoy me often I have fun playing solo
Well sometimes I group up with some guildmates, but it isnt that funny as it is solo ... despite the fact that I'll have to kiss the ground more often then I like to 
But reading this thread I wish I would already have played here at NF times. <img src="http://herald.uthgard-server.net/daoc/sig.php?name=Nylea&s=4"></img>

I'm not completly sure, but you dont often use Garotte -> Archillis combo for anytime, but some pierce style. Which style is it (I guess it could be the detaut for boosting evade)?
Overall good playstyle with weapon switching.   |

LOL at all you ppl trying to show us solo!
Show us solo with a visible class! Not all of us like stealthers...
|

You kidding? I'm not gonna just spread my tactics around as if I couldn't care less how many players adapt it ... |
|
Excuse me, this isn't possible on Uthgard anymore, as is the 8vs8 that went on back then, or shall we call it the respect that there was then? the respect for all the playstyles back in agra? Hmmm... how i miss it... i'm not playing anymore. |

You can find solos and avoid the full grp killing you, by looking in odin or hadrian. Or look around some keeps for guard mission players, or watch by some horse routes. You will find a solo, some you may get the upper hand by being a suprise to your enemy, then going to emain where everyone is expecting to die. Also learn the travel paths of players in emain and avoid the gates and you may find some solos also. It is harder for visables, espicialy in emain, but you just have to use your enviroment to your advantage ( trees , objects ) or just go to the other zones as emain may just be to dangerus to go to as a visable. After the revamp, hopefuly there will be even more traffic in the other zones. If you want to solo, then go out solo, but remember if you go somewhere that your enemy will be expecting you to be, then expect to be killed by grps also.
Soloing on a classic --> Realm vs Realm <-- , isnt about arragnging fair duals. Its about fighting for your realm, and when a solo oppertonity comes up, you take it, but remember the risks of doing so in what ever area your in, and if its too danagerus, then go some where else , like another zone. Grps, adds, solos, and everything else is part of rvr, and its about learning to deal with it, and learning to find your ways of avoiding a bad situation. |

I could not have said it better myself @Garad, I used the pierce taunt style due to the high end cost of garrote (I still don't use garrote btw) @Braxis, if visibles QQed less and really wanted to solo, they would move away from emain instead of QQing that they get zerged and added on in emain. Tbh I don't see anyone who wants to solo (maybe besides Laya), because no one is willing to move to less live zones in order to find solo enemies. If you want to solo... then accept the setting you are in and adapt to it! if more did that we would see many more who went solo in odins/HW, but instead they QQ and grp/add.. tbh it sickens me a bit to see so many self proclaimed soloers that doesn't take the other side of the coin with it but expect a duel zone with no adds/grps.. ps. just a bit of proof that soloing is possible on a visible toon too: http://www.uthgard-server.net/modules.p ... sc&start=0 |

Am I wrong or are the fights Nixian fought in that video often against visibles? It IS possible to Solo in EMain. Yesterday there where 2 Hibs (Champ and BM I guess) and 2 Solo Infis (well one Black Adder, so I guess it wouldn't be a fair fight if he survived one of the fights  ). But there were some 1on1s (under the shadow of a fg adding these fights).
At Odins I had great fun, but fun lasts as long as there isn't a lamechar who kills it. (FGs, Adders, trios and even some dumbass high RR solo-classes who don't duel but just add and kill everything in sight). So yes, it IS possible and no it DON'T makes fun like back in Agra. Porting times are okay by now, not so bad. Walking times are a little bit higher, but still okay. The only problem (as usual) is the change of players community on the top. So the fair respectfull 1on1 players are inactive (Runis, Hanma, even Moray (was fair someitmes^^)) or converted to evil Adders^^ Some new people came to light and showed their lame attitude. But this attitude etablished and gave Solo-RvR a hard hit. Additionally the forum did its job to and killed Solo-RvR a bit through posts like "Solo RvR will be dead". If you want to, you can. You don't want to obviously, so you can't. There's only one possibility: Do it or leave it. Most left till now. Many argues at the forum. Noone willing to change it cause nobody solos out there. You know WHY there is no Solo Inc? Cause EVERYBODY is thinking like that. 20 people around thinking "Omg, Solo RvR is impossible" instead of just going out and meet the other 19 Solo-players. If one goes out you see no other Soloer, cause they're still thinking that nobody is out --> Soloing dead. Just do it! lg Fin Edit: SOme guildmates had some fair small fights at HADRIAN WALL!! There you have your impossible gameplay^^ |

Seeing videos of NF Agramon makes me wish i had joined earlier. :\
That mile gate looks awesome comepared to what we have now. Kinda of Topic lol: Played a small bit of NF before i quit live back when NF came out and I remember those keep/tower fights were pretty crazy/fun. Back then I had crap computer/internet so it was rough. Wish Uthgard would have a real keep somewhere since these OF keeps are so boring. :\ |

In other words: add everything you can as long as the risk of dieing in the progress is low enough... I mean, that's basicly a way of reading it aswell and sadly enough that's how most stealthers and a large part of visibles play. Sure you can go ahead and play like this. That's why you have stealth.  But as a visible, you better not act so goddamn annoying and honorless or you'll be hunted down even more by whatever gets a chance to do so.I respect my enemies, I respect their fights, I respect the effort they do to show up in RvR zones and I'm not gonna try and beat them out of it asap by leeching them to death at a bottleneck. I rather wait 5 more minutes or walk 5 more minutes to find a more challening fight than to sit still waiting for walking RPs... I couldn't care less whether I get RPs for a good fight or not. I'm after the thrill of beating a challenging opponent, because seeing how I earn 166 RPs for adding on a dead target is almost the same as PvE to me.
Ahh good old finger pointing towards community. Nixian, it's the zone and the way it's implemented now which causes the lack of RvR players. Of course you can say: "just go out because then there are RvR players and the problem is solved". But that's pure bullshit. You shouldn't be having to say such things on the forum in the first place. The setting should make people WANT to go out regularly, so that the zones populate themselves. Anyway this is old but I still can't stand it when people claim it's all the community's fault the situation is currently so poor.
Yup, it's possible allright. But this also shows how high the standard is in end RvR. Nothing but the most maxed out characters will stand a chance of winning fights in the frontiers as it stands now. Add to that the longer time to get into RvR and you've got yourself a very hostile environment for everyone who isn't a stealther or as determined as the soloers that do go out. It's not because it's possible that it's attractive to everyone. |

Of course it can be read that way, I am also sad that many players decide to go the "easy road", but they are allowed to do so. I won't tell players not to grp/add/zerg, that is part of DAoC, but I will tell those who QQ about not being able to solo, to go solo instead of QQing
You can't neglect that this partly is due to our community, this is what 50% of the people who claims they want to solo QQ about and ask for when they say "let's go back to agra" '
Agreed, this needs to change.. but this is not something we can do anything about. This is something staff has to change for us by making it more attractive to run out not being fully decked out. Also I would like to add that I 95% of the time run unbuffed on my NS and I still win fights and gain RPs, sure buffs would help me, but I cba.. and if that easy fight against me will make a player go out solo again, then I will gladly donate a few RPs... |

Everyone has the right to add, to grp, and to solo. Its your responsiblity to go where you need and do what you need to achive your own goal. This is RvR, and if your not willing to do this, then go dual your realm mates only, as that is what some seem to want, some kinda arranged dualing, where its a perfect fair 1vs1.
