What time do other groups usually get formed up for NA times? Not sure if this clashes with the 'server rules' but it would be nice to know when to plan on running to prevent running around forever with nothin to fight.

We have been mia the last few nights due to having to PL up a couple new toons (ugh) but should be out almost nightly around 830/9EST - 12EST now.

There seems like a void between 6-9 with just some smallman/stealther action most generally anytime we've gotten out earlier than the usual....

<Catatonic>/Alb btw guess it would be helpful to put that as well**edit

We also sometimes have to shut it down around 11 if the arms has to go to bed, hes like 63 years old.

Usually 930ish EST here for our regular PUG

Tilt is usually running Monday to Wednsday from 9 to 12 eastern.

We are discussing the future right now since the action doesn't seem worth playing anymore.

We still having some fun versus the only alb group out when we have a BD and not too many drunk people on board though.

The 3 mana relics hib groups are just not fun to fight against anymore though

Our pug runs around 7pst mon - friday and stays out as late as action permits.

There's another alb roll-up should be just about done i think by now, Gary and co. and usually a couple alb groups doin the keep thing during that 9-12 time as well. So that should help you middies get some more fights in. The trouble with alb is the lack of solid pugs, people generally just dont run rather than try and pug anything other than cleric pretty much outside of maybe a rare pbuk or charades sighting.

Its a shame too, was at least 4 fg albs nightly about a month ago, and they all ghosted.

Where's the Juice guys been?

Any new Hib roll-ups we can expect anytime soon?

Because we lack cleric/mins/sorc which are the 3 most important class in pvp

This.

There are nights I want to run but I look around and we're just missing crucial classes so we go out and smallman instead if we can.

I'd rather run out as 3-4 and get RPs and have good fights like I did last night than try and shoehorn a group with no Sorc/Mins and only one Cleric.

There are still some of us. Look for Trained Again - they're out during NA PST times and I'm with them sometimes.

But yeah, as far as legit nightly reliable 8v8 - not much left, mainly due to lacking classes and in turn, people.

It's a lot harder when your realm requires certain strategies rather than just running in, Ichor, interrupt everything, turn into a Vendo.

BGs still run as well but people might be busy lately. Some people in my alliance are looking to form up some semi-regular pugs though. We will probably post here so people know when we are going to be around.

Emain is a pretty place, but the 45 minutes countryside tours are getting old so I'd rather just tell people we are in Hiblands rather than teleport past each other in circles searching.

All 3 realms struggling 2 pug NA =/

And despite that all 3 realms field very skilled groups the competition is strong

Also...

I trade u ichor for sos plz?

How about Ichor for siege bolt lol

He was referring to the ability to sub people per the realm. Albion always has to run more casters than any other realm, for better or worse. Better players thrive on caster setups, regardless of ra's. His point was that you can fill a tank group on both hib and mid and still do pretty well vs most groups. I personally think alb could make a very nasty tank group, that has yet to be seen.

There is a severe lack of NA groups now. It's a shame because there is action out, yet groups becoming disheartened to quit after losing for night or two.

We are currently looking <Catatonic> to fill a few slots, DM me Minst/Cleric/Theurg.

<Valor> leveling on alb. Currently 35-45 range. We should be done within the next month. Playtime is 8-12pm EST on week nights

Edit: we should be able to run full guild 8man but when we can't expect more alb pugs from our end

hate to be one of 'those guys' but if the devs dont do something soon to try and get some people to come back NA time will probably be dead as far as '8v8' goes in a month. I think Tilt has called it quits, Juice has been gone for several weeks, so pretty much only gonna see some rare TGM pugs and Team america from mid, and Lego-pug is the only hib group left i think that plays anything remotely close to regularly.

We're still holding out hope tho, we've had to PL toons to replace flops and usually pug at least 1 or 2 nightly to be able to run... which unfortunately means not being able to run some nights on alb (you can't just grab any cabby, sorc, or minstrel and expect to win... we've tried)

We may have to make a '5 is the new 8' rule before too much longer haha

I said the same thing a month ago ! Lets just run 5s heh... gross

Smallman is honestly my favorite variant of RvR. It's been fun running out with some really odd group compositions just because that's all we could find.
