I agree Mcnasty. It's been tough as hell. Here's how my time spent playing goes during EU prime (I'm NA). I boat to Odins, there is an 8man roaming non stop from coastline to the docks. If I happen to get a 1v1, bam.. here's the FG jamming my shit.
Or.. here's a FG roaming.. I'm doing my best to avoid them, bam.. some Fk head low rr sneak pops me right in front of the group. Group adds in and kills me.
Ok.. no biggie.. I'll see what's up at Beno.
Wrong answer. Beno is a death sentence. If you just so happen to be lucky enough to get a 1v1 there.. here comes 749337 albs running down from Beno praying to get a slice of you. Then they run back up and chill. Usually it's a 2v1 or 3v1 sneak there.
So I find myself playing from 11pm CST until about 5am CST because that's the best time I've found for some 1v1 action. Luckily my schedule allows that, but if it didn't.. I'd be screwed.
It really blows my mind how rp hungry people are that they can't just let someone do there deal.. then kill them afterwards.
I agree, I wish there were some way to give us a place to fight without adds.
It'll never happen, but here's to wishing.
Hwwaatt
I think thats my biggest complaint now..these small man / FG's roaming around and adding on everything they see. People get bloodlust or something when they see an easy target to add on...they care more about 150 RPs than respecting a fair fight for two other players. It honestly is pretty pathetic at times.
That being said, I feel optimistic when I see people out there that respect 1v1's and it seems like a bit of a community around this fun play-style has been developing as of late.
Cheers to the future! Hrhrhr
Its great that you get the option to at least try to solo. It's your right to complain and despise the small groups/fg/zergs who roam around and add everything. I wouldnt say its always bloodlust. A large percentage of the time you're probably right. Im a group person. I small man. I zerg. I also ran around a lot solo to level. I was killed A LOT while doing so. Docks were my kryptonite. Mainly because i was easy pickings, from stealthers, small man, groups, zergs, etc. That was my biggest complaint. i just wanted to level. So , lets break that down.
1. I chose to level in a frontier zone. It was my choice. i could have moved to an si zone etc with no chance to die (an rvr death). Solo rvr has the same alternative. Move to a place not as active.
2. I do not go out of my way to kill solo players. I do not explicitly disrespect them or respect them. If i am near a hot spot, mainly docks or the outer keeps, i kill everything. Why? Because i assume that is one of the players who at one time or another, killed me when i was trying to solo and hit 50 on an alt or a main. I will not travel to 35k, 35k, in pennine to kill you if you choose to solo, i promise. If you are within clipping range of beno/bled/dc docks and i see you , i will, whether im grouped, small man, solo, in a 1000 man zerg.. attempt to kill you.
3. Respect earned = respect given. If you are level 50, rr8, and chose to kill only level 50, rr8 players, then i will respect you (contradiction to #2., but this is as close to respect as you'll get from me... especially since this is a game :-).. buy me a beer, then i'll respect you ). If you are level 50, rr8, and kill all 36+ players, then i have no respect for you. I'm not doing that kinda homework, and i assume you wont either.
The majority of players i group with have the same opinion. We are not gonna go out of our way to go hunt down the xp campers off the beaten path. I for one, typically do not look at a name when i click on a target. If i played in WoW in an arena wheree i didnt have to worry about the counter zerg, other groups, adds, etc jumping on me, i might take that extra 3-5 seconds to look at the name... decide if i like the name.. try and recall who they were.. if it was an alt.. .if they wore colors i liked, if they were short or tall... or a thousand other variables that might make me want to attack or turn the other cheek... yeah...
