    Welcome to crickhollow creep side population 0-4

    this is getting really boring guys where is every one? i cant even work on maps got a rank 2 defiler with 15 ability's to learn and i have learned one. Also i dont know how you freeps dealt with hanging out in EC all the time.
    its really really boring.

    these last few days all i have been doing is either sitting inside OC sleeping or walking out of the res circle to find 15 freeps waiting for me.

    Remember how we let you guys have TR for a while can we maybe have it so i can at least work on some maps and get some DP pretty pretty plz?

    on the up side with creep pops being at a all time low i have seen more freeps stay out longer then ever before. i have absolutely no idea why. maybe its the sound of crickets.

    I think the xp bonus has everyone leveling their freeps... I've seen very few fights, just been sneaking around on my warg killing norbogs and keep guards

    Re: Welcome to crickhollow creep side population 0-4

    I feel bad for ya, but not too much. Personally, I'm not into letting you guys have anything, I thought we got rid of that truce a long time ago. I wish more creeps would show up, because I find 1v1s boring, but as for going easy because of your low numbers... well, lets just say this is the first time I've been on the overpowered side in my whole moors career.

    And I'm also not gonna help you rank up that defiler... r6 defilers are waaaay too scary :P

    Just be patient though, I'm sure creeps will start returning, and if not, they'll be an influx of greenies. Lots of renown, until they rank up

    you missed what im saying. i will never ever ever ever ask you or any one else to go easy on me. or to leave me alone and let me rank if i was in that state of mind i would not even be out here.
    all im saying is while these conditions are so insanely bad. next time we cap something dumb like isen just let us keep it for like a day or two. other wise i have no where to quest when you guys arnt here. i dont play freep side at all so if i have no quest and no freeps out i effectively have nothing to do.

    While I'm a noob I've been having fun and hope the creep side doesn't fall apart. It does seem like whenever I'm on though our numbers are far less than freeps most of the time.

    Re: Welcome to crickhollow creep side population 0-4

    Hey Hawk,

    I hear ya - I love flipping the map, but I hate it when it's all Blue - why? So few creeps come out until there's real raid going...deja vu in reverse here.

    Fun sparring ya man - but dang - stop leaving combat! That second charge is insane ;-) (I am making a new LI just for you...it will go nicely with my final two pieces of pvp gear...hope I get them before Isen makes them obsolete).

    Congrats on ranking your warg during the 1v1's tonight - I never saw such a low ranked warg do so much damage.

    Anyway, for what it's worth, I'd fully support leaving some red on the map...the only place left to farm brooches and crests in DG....and I miss hating all the creeps.

    Good Hunting,

    Ell

    First time on overpowered side? I have trouble understanding that.

    Greenies need veteran creeps, it is harder to roll a creep and survive the early ranks without help and advice. Before I get flamed for that comment, think about it. Even turbine thought so and now there are no "greenies." Rank 0-5 are still rough going for creeps and many do not last.

    If you do not ever want to roll a weak creep bring your level 40 out to the moors and see what it is like.

    Free people can gear up and learn their class in a predictable, relatively controlled atmosphere. Free people come to the moors with their money, food, pots, horses, armour and skills. All creep pots, maps, food and skills must be earned in the moors.

    Re: Welcome to crickhollow creep side population 0-4

    All the other servers TDH is playing on suck too. Same ole story on most of them. Rating hugging and NPC fights. Low population or extreme outnumbering.

    But crick freep pvpers have cut their own throat.

    For example; The other night I had 9 creeps raided up against 12 freeps. Where did we fight them? NPCs. TR, TA, Freep controlled bridges. So I lost most of the creeps till I had 6. Then bloin and some guards came and the freeps got 4 or five more. Then decided to push out and wipe us. The same freeps who coulda made the fights fun in open field away from NPCs started shirt tailing the only freeps with balls. But it was too late by then. We had 6, so the only place for us to go was NPC's. So we all logged.

    My point here is most of these freeps star and rating hug or are too cool to group and force whatever combat there is into npcs all the time. What fun is that? You've bored most of TDH off crick. We're not the best or only tribe here but we do try to get everyone together and have a good time, but we find ourselves fighting no freeps most of the time just chasing you jarheads into NPCs.

    Have fun with your blue map and all your NPCs and the greenies that come with the free monster play. Then you can rank up and tell everyone how bad ### you are. After that when your all 1v1ing each other and patting yourselves on the back and giving each other grat posts on your meaningless rank, maybe then you'll realize what time you've wasted.

    It's your money, so play the game how you want, but dont complain about their being no creeps cause you've bored us all off.

    Hawk you'd be more then welcome to join us on one of the other servers I'll get on today to tell you more but theres more creeps and "tougher" freeps that don't run to NPCs when numbers are matched and often open feild battles. Something to think about and as I said earlier I can come on crick today and tell ya more if you'd like

    Hey wait I was told you guys went on a senior road trip across America... but now your telling me your playing on different servers. *now is sad* I might have complained a little but I always liked the "Krool Tactics". Now with Oozum being out there its like playing hide and go seek with a kid... mapping all around. Some of us have even started calling it the Oozum Olympics.

    /begs Krool
    Please come back and teach these creeps not to map jump, it gets boring after a while and we're lucky to even get one or even two kills now.

    Just an FYI, devs have said you can trade 65 armor for 75 armor when roi is released since it is insanely difficult to get.


    -Players with level 65 versions of the gear will be able to barter their armour for the level 75 version. This is intended as a reward for players that have acquired or are currently grinding the existing armour.
    from http://my.lotro.com/user-1317796/

    Krool, I think your frustration with freep side is just, but I think there have been nights were freeps and creeps traded wipes and there was good fighting to be had without the use of NPCs. I think this server has potential, but most of us are still learning and have only been playing since f2p. I think the moors have sucked since you guys have left, I would rather be wiped over and over than run around the whole map and find no creeps, though I have been mining a lot of k-copper.

    I also think a lot of freep tactics stem from the fact that we barely ever have heals... what can you do to stay alive without heals? When the other side has warleaders and defilers and we just have 6 hunters and a couple melee classes its tough to do anything but run when your getting focus fired. Anyways, just my 2 cents, I hope you guys at least keep giving us a chance.

    Cheers,

    Your probably right Tron, but its usually the same ole ppl hugging, and when the players who wanna fight like yourself come out, then the numbers are just not right. My point would be if anything, is I wish there was no npc's, rating system, or rank.

    Re: Welcome to crickhollow creep side population 0-4

    well tbh i played a healer in the moors. when they aren't one of the first 3 targets dropped its fun battles. especially now that the creeps have multiple healers. burning through 3 rk5+ defilers and 2-3 rk 5+ warleaders is a royal pain.
    but all the great healers that used to be out, are out no longer. some have left for other games, other for alts or a break from the game. the freeps have lack of coordination between classes, and way to many classes focused on dps.
    whatever happened to cappies doing in harm's way/last stand? minnies using fellowship's heart? guardians using shield wall? burg addling and chain stunning healers? champs aoe stunning and aoe dps? i don't see anything remotely related to PVE being used in the moors, but yet if it was, in coordination with other classes and their skills, the freeps would be easily equal if not still superior to the creeps. every time i see a LM full dps traited i cringe. if, when on my minnie i have to ask for power and don't get it, because *i'm not traited for it*. can't get wound removal, because it isn't slotted. no 20 second mez even. totally ###. seriously lm's dont have to be full red line or straight cc. a mix of both is good, even better. burgs shouldn't be hiding waiting for the kill shot. guards and cappies shouldn't be leading the charge and leaving the hunters and minnies/rks to fend for themselves.
    there are some vets on this server, most of which don't get listened to by the f2p starters. its discouraging to both player levels, and also to the creeps. everyone on both sides has had a contributing factor in making the moors not so fun. once upon a time, a very long time ago there was a warg named bigbaggie. few will even remember him now, but he tried and tried on both sides to improve the moors. now he's just given up as there seems to be no hope at all.
    right now i'd rather watch oozum *whom i mostly can't stand* kite desperate freeps in OC or anywhere else, and hear them complain about mapping olympics, while in stealth on my burg, remembering the days of bigbaggie and map kiting ello around just to be a pain in her rear, remembering TE at what little prime it had, being outnumbered and at ranks 0-3 zerging and standing in freeps double our numbers and in the freeps npcs killing them one by one because we remembered what our classes could do, and then did it. as a group. TDH uses similar tatics, and just like then the freeps melt, not from lack of leadership, but lack of ability to remember WHAT their class is completely capable of and then doing it.


    just my mile long 2 cents

    and i agree krool

    /shrug

    bigbaggie -warg rk 6, tinybaggie - wl rk 5, grunty - ba rk3 , fiestspidder-weaver rk3 , bangkuk- reaver rk 4, ee- defiler rk 2, jaydyn -minstrel rk5, traind -burglar rk4.

    Re: Welcome to crickhollow creep side population 0-4

    Krool I wouldn't bother with that guy too much. If you remember he played his warg (awful warg for the record) in your raid every night. But he and his buddies got may because you wanted to small group with you own tribe occasionally and not hand feed them infamy. I use the word hand feed because he was dead all the time just leeching infamy, the guy was terrible. nevertheless. freeps may be winning, lately as TDH has been playing on different servers dude to the boring action of crickhollow. I do note that I never see that discipline guy out when TDH has a group out, guess hes all show and no dough.....typical flipper.

    Re: Welcome to crickhollow creep side population 0-4

    I love pvmp, and hopefully creeps have noticed I'm always out there, no matter which side is winning. Sometimes I wish they'd just get rid of the keeps, even though that pve can he fun...

    The only thing that upsets me is creeps ability to get whatever class is needed, mostly heals and warleaders, whereas I can think of only three freep healers off the top of my head. That's why we hug npcs... 24 hunters couldn't take down durins bane.


    If worst comes to worse, and least I'll have plenty of time to grind for pvmp armour. Great

    Please note that Discipline is RANK 2.. LMAO are you serious, you must be a big pvper there. No wonder you dont come out to the moors often, it appears you spend most of you time getting farmed and not earning renoun. I promise you if you show up today, I will personal give you what you've been asking for......a face beating.

    Re: Welcome to crickhollow creep side population 0-4

    Creepside is definitely hurting on Crick (and from my experience too, on most servers). Current game "balance" favors freepside atm, and there are lots of blue maps out there. Over time freepside on Crick has been getting more numbers and more importantly better geared, whereas the average creep rank (with everyone leaving) is actually going down.

    End game spec'd freeps are wearing the same gear on every server, though on the more established servers they are generally fighting much higher ranked creeps and 1v1s are often versus rnk10+ creeps (with freeps still coming out on top more than not). Unfortunately, with the Crick pop so low (and creepside relatively weak atm: #'s and rank), when you sit back and look how long it will take to achieve say rank8 to be more competitive with current freeps and then say rank10+ looking forward to lvl75 freeps come the fall, the PvP grind to achieve that on creepside on Crick is very, very, very long.

    Obtaining 200-400k total infamy @500-1000/day avg = forever This compares with maybe a month to level and gear out my freep to be moors competitive.

    @Shak - yes freeps could be better coordinated, and if they were it would be more of a bloodbath for creeps. Even if you ignore the defiler and let him heal, 5 hunters should blow up any target with focus fire. In RvR with good freep coordination the only thing that can save a creep currently is WL bubble - atm though I don't think there are any active WLs on Crick. People are attracted to playing defilers because they are extremely hard to kill (people don't like dieing) and at a modest rank are competitive 1v1. To be honest though, currently I don't think they are very effective in raid v raid (currently -unlike RKs, their HoTs don't stack, and all the low ranked heals are single target so not as effective versus freep AOE. - plus WL +25% dps buff, and aoe rez is awesome in RvR

    Well it took us all of 30 mins to flip all the keeps back, yea PVE is fun. Weve been sitting here for sometime waiting on the great Rank 2 Discipline to show up and show us how great he is, unfortunately he has failed, again. This tells me a few things, a. owning keeps is easy, b. once again the reason TDH left is lack of action, not 1 freep dared fight TDH in last 2-3 hours c. freeps basically show up when TDH is gone or they have overwhelming odds d. weve all known this for sometime, e. TDH still dominates this server as they are playing on 4-5 other servers......dang these guys are awesome!

    @ chris

    yea your mostly right in comparing with my experiences. the only one thing i must add though. it only takes 1 defiler to keep that rk5+ warleader up, thus keeping those group heals, rezzes, and bubbles going. which tends to be more than enough.

    @callem

    well sorry i was out on creep earlier, there was no1, i logged to my minnie, as others have stated, there aren't any, so i was working on better gear for her to improve her hp so that maybe she'll last 5 secs longer in the creepz healer zergs. sorry to disappoint. all in all, my kin tends to mostly come out in the evenings, as stated in previous posts, there just aren't enough creeps to fight anything; if there are we usually outnumber them so its a npc fight anyways.

    and fighting oozum in OC or trying to find him and whomever is with him while they do the *map olympics* is just not worth the time.
    at least once in a while we'll flip keeps and wait for them to be flipped back so all those *underskilled noobish creeps* can get all their skills a little sooner.

    Re: Welcome to crickhollow creep side population 0-4

    Suilaid All,

    I really believe a major factor here is brand new freeps (generally speaking). This server has recently come of age on the PvE side...most everyone now has a level 65 end-game or close-to-end-game setup. So now we have seen an influx of PvP'rs. The reality is, when people are learning, they are hesitant to push out into open field. They just are. This takes some time to get over, getting to know your class in PvP, participation in a lot of good raids, and getting over rating rage. I love to hate TDH - the reality is, this server was run by TDH and TE when I came around. There were excellent leaders on both sides (Notleh & Bloin freepside - Bloin is back guys...he's no star hugger). The battles were epic, and the smaller skirmishes all over the map taught me tons about LOTRO PvP and accelerated my learning curve (look - see the scars? I think this one here is yours Krool). The PvP learning curve right now is stalled...

    What I am really saying (Krool) is that people are still learning and still growing a pair for the most part. Your tactics out here will actually help form the development of the server - it's frustrating now, but 'we' learn from you (and Bloin, and other experienced leaders). If you leave 'us' to our greenies, well, 'we' won't develop in such a way as to become competitive with the best PvP servers in LOTRO.

    So you can shrug and go somewhere else, pointing out how lame freeps are on crick, or you can lead by example and help this server grow...it will get better...

    Good Hunting,

    Ell

    Warg dmg doesnt actaully change that much at all anymore until rnk6/7 with pack hunters/scratch'n snip/eye rake. Rank4 common--->shadow dmg trait used to be a larger change in warg dps, but with the shadow mitigation possible now on freepside (what is yours at 4-5k now?) the impact is now marginal.

    Nah - my shadow mit is 2232 as I am traited now, with +383 if my armor kicks in (20% of the time).

    So you basically saying the the dominance of Krool and TDH is for what examples are made from? I mean Ive seen someone kiss butt but you take it to a new level. I agree to an extent, those guys do dominate the server when they are on, as they are doing right now, they have everyone pinned to one shotters and keeps. Kinda lame in the realm of things, the freeps only play when they have numbers

    thnk that works out to 20-25% dmg mitigation. Can the proc stack?

    Between rnk0-rnk5 wargs only get 1 additional dmg skill (swipe) Does 150-300ish dmg on 20 sec cd.

    Boom there was a good freep leader Notleh that RK could almost 1 hit anyone 1st time tryin, but he did have a temper on him if i remember but still a good freep leader, as is bloin what you need is core people that WILL group up and WILL fight togeather and HAVE open feild battle

    And Ello i get what u mean about learning how things fly around here I have been there but ur gonna learn alot more and alot more skills and tacits and such from an open feild battle theres just so much more excitment and no distractions of NPCs you just listen to the raid leader and have an awesome battle

    maps are a big need for creeps so we can move around the map alot quicker, We dont have fancy horses with pretty flags on them or goats with thier little lanterns we have 2 feet so if we dont have maps the fighting is gonna be alot slower for both sides and thats no fun for anyone

    @the Freeps guys listen to ur vets in your raid believe it or not, they do know what they're doing dont argue or whine because a reaver did 2000+ dmg on u if that happened you were prolly over extended and healers werent able to get to u if u stay togeather, listen to the vets and focus fire you will have results and also believe me freeps arnt the only ones with new ppl comin over we have quite a few new guys over here as well and its quite difficult to explain flipping keeps, stones, flags, imfamy, npc killling compared to freep killing, leanrning acronyms, how to get maps for all these places, desteny points, rank, how to buy special items, difference between a stun and a daze, pots, quests that will help u take back things, why you dont have a horse, thier entire class, ANNNND tell them ur name all in 1 day please think about it all at the same time having them in a raid telling them of how fun open feild battles are while we wait in front of EC :/

    You all have had the numbers lately to have open feild battles coming back to crick is in consideration for me but freeps please keep in mind you have great leaders over there like Bloin and Ellouhollia, ppl that want open feild battles, please just listen to them 9 times out of 10 they're right and your flat out wrong so please shut up dont argue and listen to ur leaders, focus fire and roll us creeps with honor and dignity you have the power to do it now show your able to use it...

    Same goes for you I suppose. I was here for a month straight trying to lead by example and have a good time. But honestly its been the same ole thing. We either outnumber you and have to fight in npcs or we have equal numbers and still fight in npcs. Creep side has no problem grouping together and fighting.

    It's the freeps that lack teamwork. Guards that play op stance when theres a raid. When in reality they can switch sword and board in secs. Hunters who run at the first sign of damage, not to mention shoot whatever target they want. LMs with no clue. RK shooting lightning bolts out there face. I could go on.

    Sounds to me like freeps have what it takes to own creeps anywhere but there are too many armchair quarterbacks. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be an ### here, but you said it yourself. Freeps need the leadership and the learning by example not the creeps. You should step up. We are eager to fight you guys.

    And as far as going to other servers thats what I pay to do and thats what I like. I say you should definately have multiple toons on different servers. Makes this game way more enjoyable when you dont have down time.

    The time stamp on this post for me must be wrong since it was made at a time when there were some fights going on. I agree with Tron that most of the time freeps are tentative to push due to lack of healers. when we were pushing down the hill on the creeps an hour or two ago with just me healing the fights lasted about 3 secs until i died or used cd's to stay alive 20 secs. by the time we picked up another couple healers and a guard I knew we were with the most numbers then so I pushed your keeps. Hope to see more creeps stay out later tonight.

    yea we couldnt compete with your number we fought the good fight as long as we could but in the end, numbers like that we cant handle. How many did you guys have when you were pushing those keeps, just curious?

    Fair enough Krool - I actually stopped leading a while back (a few weeks ago) and have been mostly running around solo trying to grind tokens for a chance at another brilliant stone and what not (4 of 6 pieces now...so close), and, spending a lot of 1v1 time which has definitely made me a better 'solo player'. That said, Donut has led some great raids...and Bloin is also a terrific leader...we are pulling it together...

    Honestly, outside of MeM patrols I am reluctant to lead...it's a patience thing...RL has a way of wearing ones patience down and I've had some heavies in RL lately...but I see your point...

    Hehe, yeah... I love how they beg on the forums, then beg in gmoors, then an hour of action and bam, ragequit.

    And Krool, I'd lead, but it just wouldn't be fair for you guys :P
