currently having a blast (and yes I am in emain).. keep forgetting to hit f9 though to start fraps xD


It's easy to say this as a stealther in a stealth-zerg realm. If you got insta-killed out of stealth by 3 Crit Shots from 3 different [archers] every time you walked up to amg...

Or had to wait 10 minutes for camouflage, and then wait another 10 minutes to get that perfect shot on an NS... only to be added by his [archer] buddy that you couldn't see because he was camouflaged...

If this was the routine for you--not the exception, the routine--then you wouldn't be bragging about all the great solo action you're getting in Emain.



Do I need to say Black adders? :)

I too have my zergs/grps/enemies to avoid ;)

Solo in Emain is ******, solo in Odins is ******.

Basicly anything smaller than a FG is ****** in the current situation, no need to act like it isn't.


The fact that it's ****** doesnt mean one can't still enjoy it once in a while, but overal, it stays ******. :]

I wouldnt say soloing is impossible as a visible character on uthgard but it is straining. Between adds and stealth groups it can be hard to even make it out of emain gates, when I go to Odin's I just wander around hoping for a fight. People say camp horse routes but it is a little lame and without speed or stealth its only a few kills before a group finds you. Also very few groups will leave a soloer alone, its gotten to the point where i just sit if i see a group because i know ill be killed anyways, i dont really blame them with all the adding they have to put up with.

Only solo stealther i saw all day was Ronia (2 good fights today with you on my reaver, second one i was in group but the buffs were out of range only one that worked was heal proc) even midgard seems to have started their own little stealth groups.

It can be frustrating but when you find fights its rewarding and this is coming from someone who solos without stealth or speed and is under rr5

If you really want to solo in emain , you have to ask every stealth of your realm to don't add you , even if this mean to die ... and you have to never duel also.
People won't add you everytime or zerg you if they know you are a fair player .. Of course don't count of noobs like black noobers or shangri la for be fair... some people just like to destroy rvr because they are too pathetic for kill someone alone ( even when they are rr8+ )

And for fg .. only few fg leave soloers now , that's sad ( tnx Foshi for last time ) i hope more fg will become like this . But i don't think so :(

i'm always solo if i play in the frontiers.

being solo means a lot of searching and because of that you need patience. don't even start to think in rp/hour...
you'll find stealthers, but they are not alone. mostly this means death for you without any chance of killing even one. the few stealths who are solo are even harder to find then solo visibles.
then there's the fact, that 95% of the solo visibles are skilled players with RR6+ solo skilled chars. they are all hard to kill except if your class has a big advantage. and of course all those high RR have every RA ready and will use them as there's so few inc.

this leaves you not with many options...

Totally agree. Same goes for dioses as well btw :wink:

But overall it's there way of playing stealth classes. Unfortunately it destroys the playstyle of others ... but we can't do anything about it.
But it's pretty satisfying that you win most of you're 1on1s against those guys.

View from a (mostly) solo Shamy:

from 8:00- maybe 12-14 o clock (german) there can be nice solo rvr in emain. After that its undoable- even if they know that ur mostly solo.
It is confusing ppl gratz you to a nice solo vid and in the next minute they gank and emote you.

At Primetime there is only solo action in odins or jamtland- and like Lev sait, long times without inc- dont think in rp/hour ect. In odins sometimes it can go open end- or some enemys read "killspamm" and stop the solo rvr with 3+ ppl.

I work mainly at Weekends, so i can play at morning or at evening, like i wish. So enough chances for some nice solo fight.

A visible Player, who only can play at PT, has it much harder.

greetings :)

Soloing is just boring as hell since OF. I had some fun as solo before, now with the ****** port timer and stealther zergs camping milegate all the time I just gave up the idea, like a lot of visible soloers I guess.
And everytime I've been solo in odin, I've suicided without any fight :D

Not to mention my sorc lost its only chance to survive adders or viper3 noobs since there's no more decent pet.

But I guess we should call it improvement ...
I am assuming direct control.

There's no visible soloers and the invisible ones meet stealth zergs, improvement, no.

OFC it's an improvement. I've met many new stealth adders since OF. Gladly i can always use my radar tool to detect them.

Sadly as soon as i detect them i'm dead cause they are FG /rofl

PS. I wonder why solo task has been removed. We all love to see grped stealths dont we?

But you are fair as i saw tonight, camping gate and killing me with healer in the room.

Btw it's sad to see this ******, when we are grped together (only with Dragoonn), we disband to make 1 vs 1 with soloers (but we don't need healers or vanish or others dirty things like u).

Are u strong? Maybe, but i saw 6l infis make u suck...With legion necklace buffs and a spec that avoid your strafing/lag u aren't too strong.

Tonight all the respect i got for u is gone.
