I was cracking up earlier tonight at that fight we had. Mids AJ'd and you guys just let me live til the mids all died, appreciate the fight haha.

Glad to see some respect out there tonight. Good luck to you and your group.

It's nice to see that there exists honor during NA prime time. Their mistake was that they should have taken a page out of Drachengarde's playbook and train the sorc on inc instead of a cleric

WP, GF.

See you out there in the frontier.

/salute

It was a great night for 8v8s, overall. Except for one group, with the highest RR on the server, most were surprisingly respectful, and even peeled off with us to kill the jammers, before returning to the fight.

Looking forward to more NA time 8v8s with all of you!

YEAH BROS! LET'S TEAM UP ON THE PEOPLE WANTING TO REALM VERSUS REALM AND THEN TOOT EACH OTHERS DICKS WHEN WE WTFPWN THEM!!! THAT'LL TEACH THEM FOR WANTING TO PLAY DAOC THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE PLAYED!!!! WE DA BEST!!!!!

p.s. nerds

Everyone can play the game how they like We're not asking for folks who add on 8v8s to be banned or something. Just thought it was particularly enjoyable the way everyone was playing, that evening.

Similarly, I can try to convince my groups not to kill soloers and smallmans, but sometimes they feel differently, and there's not much an individual can do. So I can't complain too much when we get jammed, or zerged. It's just the way of the game.

My apologies, if 8v8 focused groups have made your DAoC experience less enjoyable, Hesperus.

Can we just get instanced 8v8 zone? Then we can start getting sponsors and all the pro players can make money? Keep tip toeing through the frontier, don't want to be the bad guy.

Not ruining my experience or affecting me in any way, really.

However, the eliteist dickhead mentality that people who add or "jam" groups who are fighting each other are bad players is affecting the server as a whole. ANY kind of rvr should be encouraged, however, it's not and the minority are scaring off the majority due to the flack they receive for you know... enjoying the game. Typically, 8 man groups are cancer, especially the kind that come to the forms to jerk each other off.

Hesperus y so scrub?

Sounds like you added on a 8v8 and the groups disengaged to kill you.

Sad times :(:(:(:(

8. Intentional cooperation of players between different realms is not allowed. This includes arranged duels and realm point farming.

KIlling your own realm mates by intentional disengaging to let the enemy kill your "adders" is against the rules ;P

No it isn't

A pleb calling someone else a scrub. How quaint.

Except its not. People are allowed to play the game however they feel, if people want to "add" a fight thats well within their right. Just as its within the right of the other group to pull out and let you die.

The development of this thread is a great example of why I never bother to read or post much on this forum. I think VNBoards actually was a bit more sensible back in the day. Although we were all younger. What happened?

Thanks for the good fights from the other night and from last night, hopefully we will have many more.

PS: Play how you like to play and let others play how they like to play, end of story.

Actually, most people in this thread are politely congratulating each other on good fights. The only one acting like a d-bag at the moment is you Hesperus.

While i do agree that often times the "elite" and "dickhead" go hand in hand, i would argue that the phenomenon that is DAoC 8 man is one of the best aspects of the game, and is the greatest contributor to the game's long term success.

There is nothing inherently exciting about the taking/defending/zerging of keeps that you can't find in any other of the thousands of MMOs out there. 8v8 however is such an interesting form of gameplay that most other MMOs have failed to, and will continue to fail to, replicate due to the overall group size in other MMos being much smaller and the gap between a 4-5 man sized group and a full on zerg is often void.

The "elite dickheads" enjoying 8v8 are at the point that they aren't just looking for realm points, they are looking for the interesting and unique gameplay that comes from 8v8 fights in this game. If DAoC was simple another instanced group vs group, or FFA zerg vs zerg like virtually every other MMO out there, i wouldn't play it at all.

So while you are more than entitled to your "red is dead" mentality, and i personally try to understand that perspective being a 8v8 player myself, you should consider it from the other side as well. The greatest amount of fun had by these 8v8 players is getting to match their group against another group and even if the game wasn't "designed" for that , we will continually strive to achieve that situation as often as possible because that is the scenario that is the most challenging/fun for us.
