I would love to know 1 main creep player who has FC'd, freeps on their creeps and the epix kids that transfered to the greener pastures of snowy don't count :P
As far as I can tell the only people who FC are the ones that benefit from it: the freepies with all their armour, then it was to get to r8/r10 to get their so so needed epic weapons, now its for BFP? and so on.
edit: BFP is good tho for freepies, should've been brought in ages ago.Last edited by Maf--; Feb 01 2013 at 09:03 AM.

Monster Play
Freep Battlefield Promotions
Freeps now gain a Battlefield Promotion effect for each PvMP Rank they earn.
Battlefield Promotions grant bonus Health, Power and Damage for each Glory Rank the player has.
Battlefield Promotions are only active while in the Ettenmoors.
Vent your anger on the devs guys......right or wrong devs are to blame 100% ,this proposed change should never have been released so soon .Last edited by minnimeepouch; Feb 01 2013 at 09:03 AM.

@Hayley: What an epic picture there. Want more!
@Torhowl: Mate, maybe you misunderstood me a little bit. I shall explain:
I strongly reject fc, to get an advancement in pvp.
But to say, people work everyday to "punish" fc'ers, by taking pics or vids isnt gonna solve anything. More then that it even can stimulate people to do it. And yet again I only see vids from thora about freeps who fc, where are the vids from creeps who fc ? Oeps.... my bad I said something naughty there, didnt I?
Let me continue.. If you guys wanna expell all who fc'd, then 50%, or even more has to go I quess. I have no facts to prove my thoughts/theory, but where is the counterdefence? Just saying....
And so devs are gonna release the battle promotion buff for freeps with U10. But no update to the timer as I can see? *Sarcasm on!*-> great! I would welcome back all freeps, I mean creeps.. uhmmm switchers to the freep front! Enjoy your stay till the next update! That's how great pvp is! Every update is yet another reason to just have a *no care* attitude and just quit with it! Works fine for me!

The idea of having battlefield promotions for freeps is (and please dont throw tomatoes at me) quite good.I dont like it of course haha,but the current state where minnies have no problems healing themselfs on the run is enough(or any other class like Lm's,cappies that actually know how to PLAY the class),but introducing this will be a "bellow the belt" hit for creeps :/.The only reason i like it is because all of the switchers that have populated creep side will go back (im hoping,who wouldnt want more morale :P ) and evernight's pvp might start to get some action again...

Tbh i think battlefield promotions for freeps is funny, atm creep are enought strong in group if work togheter.
Creep can decrease incoming heal to 75% ... increase damage with many class slow, and hit with arrow while running with warg :P
I can't belive a class become OP cause win 1 vs 1 ... atm mini still be an OP class cause can run and survive with 3 o 4 creep on him but ... only few mini are enought good to do that !!
Atm we can see rank 3/4 defiler run in the middle of a raid and some time survive !!!
Same for some spider ...
The group game atm is enought balanced and i think can become more better.

as promised i'll stop when i reach rank 8 and leave the moors for good. i have no intentions of fcing to advance in pvp.
if you have a problem with me doing it for the sake of pve advancement you might wanna ask the devs why they would put the best gear for certain classes in the moors to begin with. beyond wrong in my opinion but why would that matter? im a dirty fcer(like many others).
-
Feb 03 2013 01:44 PM #1415
They placed this gear in the Moors to give people an incentive to come to the Ettenmoors and generate action (especially for freeps, as we certainly lack the numbers at the moment). These items should not be the reward for someone who isn't actually working for them. For instance, the best items in the game are generally from raids (or at least were pre-RoR), such as the Worn Symbol of the Elder King, Saruman's Clasp etc. To achieve a reasonably high-ish rank (7+) takes a level of perseverance and dedication which you would see in people attempting to beat the hardest content in the game.
FCing is as bad as grinding the dailies in Rohan for the new bracelets - this is not working for anything with any skill or perseverance (the way in which the best rewards should be granted in the game, and hopefully will be in u10), its just button-smashing. The problem of FCing is less easy to solve, however simply because the exploit is there, it doesn't mean that you should use it: FCing is wrong, enough said.

IMHO PVP should offer the same PVE rewards as you can obtain in PVE areas, just offer a different way of getting them. Lootboxes, Hytbold tokens even jewellry rares. Obviously rank having extra benefits within the PVP area itself makes sense. Thus, no-one is forced to PVP to obtain an item for PVE. But for this to work fight clubbing needs to be treated the same way as exploiting instances IE. like Stalin with a sore head.
Rather than screenshot vigilanties, it can't be beyond the wit of some programmer to flag up instances of low ranked characters being repeatedly killed by the same person (especially if they're not fighting back) for review by a human operator. A few people being publicly punished by stripping them of rank, gear, temporary ban as well as a "name and shame" policy will soon discourage others from trying.
-------------------------------------
I've been out of PVP land since the BG symbol nerf meant you could get groups for other instances again - i've had a week off work, and spent most of it chasing shinies. It appears they were all cruel tricks with photoshop however, not a whole lot dropped for me.
Back in the Ettens again last night. Boring GV campfest. Creeps back up, we follow because if we sit there nothing will happen. Maybe kill one creep then we get wiped. Rinse and repeat. As a healer it's ok because you get comms for that one kill you had nothing to do with. I don't just stick hots on people and sit at the back, i run out to someone who's overextended and getting ganked, throw them a BC. Sometimes saves them, always kills me, but if you're one of these leeching healers you have to put something back into the community eh?
Then one of those dreaded FRAIDs forms up. These generally either scooting from place to place, ganking small groups of creeps then fleeing to avoid retaliation, or stopping to fight the creeps head on. We might get one or two of them at the edges of their raid, but they quickly kill our healing mini's and rk's one after another, then wipe the rest. Add in the combat rezzes and people riding back form the GY trying to save their raid (or idiots like me going on sacrificial rescue missions to people struggling back to GV on foot) and they must kill every freep twice over per wipe.
Since you're going to wipe us over and over can you please do the decent thing and do it near a convenient rez circle, as one of the first to be targeted and one of the first to die, i miss out on so much of the action, by the time i can ride back the group is 75% wiped anyway. I suppose from a military point of view you dont want to give your enemy's healers time to ride back in form the GY and you can wipe us more efficiently by doing us outside TR, but think if you did it'd just be more easy kills for you anyway. And i get to spend less time on a goddamned horse.
--------------------------
I really don't know how freep light armour classes are supposed to survive focus fire from a creep raid. You can debuff my incoming healing by 75% you say? And stacked spider dots... it's just crazy. I got my audacity 4 now, but it doesn't reduce incoming damage that much, only CC time. It took a bit of work to get 13k morale and capped mits on my mini along with decent icpr.... now update 10 is going to give everyone high tac mit, high icpr, and bonuses to morale that will surpass mine thanks to their rank /sigh.
How about if target forwarding and assist we disabled in moors, that'd be a start. For balance, have heals overwrite instead of stacking. It's not realistic so many archers could target one person who is also under melee assault from 6 or 7 persons without freindly fire... and a bit of difficulty knowing if your shots are falling long or short. In fact it's pretty difficult for more than 2 people to attack one in melee even if they're out in the open. It just takes a certain amount of room to swing a sword.Last edited by Nemulas; Feb 03 2013 at 05:26 PM.

tl;dr: FCers sakk, ban them. Balance still not here, nerf moar.
Politically correct and super diplomatic card failed so now its ironical funny card? sad really
Anyway, yes i have a problem with fcing for sake of pve advancement or any other reason. And even though it is of course something that i can't make others agree on, me (and many others) can still say what we think of it. And blatantly admitting that you are doing it doesn't make it any less wrong really. And my take on it is simple logic (much like the one used by FCers, even if mine is rational):
-In PvE there are raids and instances for good drops. PvErs spend time doing them to get those drops, it takes a while but thats because of %drop rates. So, players who PvE only or the most get those drops more than PvPers.
-PvP rewards are there to reward the players who spend even more time there and couldn't be PvEing as much as others were. Also, i agree with Tirian, they serve as a good motivation to PvP (hence all the fcing).
So, by pretty much skipping all the time that should be needed to get the ranks/comms for the gear you want, IMO you are in fact cheating the game. This if you haven't noticed you were cheating so far (apparently, a lot haven't)...
Therefore: In a fair game, either those who do it would be banned or stripped of all gains from it. I'm sure that, like Nemulas said, can't be that hard to see what was gained. If Turbine doesn't want to do it, just make % drop rates in PvEing 100% or near it. Because i too would like to spend some hours only to get all i wanted.
In conclusion... if you want to FC, good for you. Just remember that no matter how much logic you put into it: you are a cheater.
(for any conflicts of interest or to prevent the same old lame responses:
-- I am not a PvPer at all.
-- I too can't be here all day. Just been gone for a week and will be for another and that doesnt make me fc
-- If you can't get any ren at all than it's your own lack of skills fault and you should make the most of it to gain them in these difficult times.
-- I like Rodin
-- others i can't think of)
______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ _____________________
Regarding the creeps' advantage, BFP + less crit defence ftw. IMO (the one of a PvP newb) balance is getting closer but one more slight nerf of the following would be nice:
- Le brand nerf? Just to make it always according to your rank, don't have to ban it.
- Le mits nerf? Are all creeps heavy armours lol?
- Le morale nerf? With so much HoTs, having over 20k morale is kind of ridiculous.
- Le defiler nerf? ...
- Le new incoming healing bost nerf? The boost was a bit over the edge.

Right Elun, my problem was that you who I know and have grouped with plenty of times could have just sent a tell instead of trying to cause a scandal which was obviously your intention. So for the record I AM NOT A FC'ER and you should keep that in mind when accusing me of anything. I am not giving YOU, any response other than to be polite in saying that your post was in poor taste. So the 'super diplomatic' post as you put it was an apology to the people I know from creep and freep side and their friends not YOU and yes I do think the fact that you stayed there for an hour just to try and cause a scandal on here instead of maybe trying to sort it out ingame as I and many from your kin would have done is unsavoury to say the least but each to their own ofc.

No good ever comes from these Evernight Strikes Back threads so I thought I'd better interject before things get out of hand.
Zal shouldn't be FCing, Elun has raised this with kin leader, kin leader is dealing with it. I know from recent conversations with Arp that Valerian deals with in-kin discipline very strictly.
Either way, it's none of Fearless's business now it has been raised. Any more posting could result in undue negativity towards our kin.Last edited by Wilksie; Feb 04 2013 at 02:04 PM.

Sorry, but "I want this item but I don't want to spend time getting it the proper way" is not a justification for FCing. Would PvP players exploiting raids to gear up be fine because they don't like PvE?

1- I did not call you a fcer did I? At least in no point in my post that is shown and I have no reason to think you are one. The person i called an FCer to is clearly stated... no?
2- I did not spend an hour looking at him.... I was in a fellowship and we went past the same spot twice that afternoon (with an hour inbetween)..
3- People actually talked in OOC about it, he never said anything. And my problem was with who was doing it, not you, so i wouldn't send a tell to you about him, he should talk for himself (at least thats my take on this) - in fact, i shouldn't have quoted you but it was where it was said he wouldnt do it again.
4- Your remark was also of poor taste, which is why i answered in the same way. (with only 1 phrase). The rest of the post was in response to the thread in its whole really.
5- What Tarenius said.
See you in-game then, and this was just to clarify my earlier post which cause it looks like you were blinded by rage or something when you read it. (my last for now as well)Last edited by GloriousEagle; Feb 04 2013 at 01:34 PM.

Obviously it was not an isoloated incident...gear is at all costs for your kin...obviously this player in your kin does not think it is wrong...it has happened again and the player says he will continue to do it and not apologise for it...
Well, at least you will write something intelligent, witty or clever in response to your kin member who obviously does not value your leadership for the kin at all nor the respect you wanted to build for it.
After all, your kin member has publicly made a fool out of you by carrying out exactly the same behaviour you said was an isolated incident, was wrong, that it would not happen again and you apologised to the community for.
So, let's read your response to a kin member making your orignal statement either a lie, hypocrisy, or proof you have no respect of or control over your kin. Drum rolllllllll
Ah, after trying to make a joke out of it all we now see you want it hidden and sent in a tell, not made open knowledge.
No, his post was spot on. You want the behaviour hidden, he brought it into the open. Plus rep GloriousEagle.Last edited by Nakah; Feb 04 2013 at 02:56 PM.

I know a lot of players don't like spar sessions but omg when was the last evernight creep/freep get together ?
A Good few times now i logged to ask for spars during a 2hr gv camp with very little response ,i get the odd tell from the odd regulars and that's it ,any reason why so many players hate spars ? even when the action is so rubbish i.e gv to tr ping pong .
Creeps can hold there own in 1v1 situation make the most of it ,win some lose some just enjoy

Really appalling to see a rise in FC'ing and that it's so easily spotted as well.
It's a real spit in the face to people such as myself who aren't the best at the game and choose to undertake the massive uphill struggle that is the Ettens.

Zaddoc m8, your by far not the worst champ I have come across, so give yourself some credit. At least your not one of the many bubble and run champs that seems to be so popular here. I am glad there are freeps that are also upset about the FC festival that is Evernight but sadly a)there is still allot that don't care b) those that do it dont give a ** about the rest of the server c) Turbine turns a blind eye. With BFP coming in U10 I suspect things are going to get worse.

On this shameless slander...
Well, some of my ingame friends told me about this shameless slander that is going on in which my name is mentioned. I usually dont "do" forums, and try to avoid it. Well, here is my 5 cents on this "fightclub" situation that is going on.
First of all, "Fightclubing" was here from the begining. The difference between now and than is that "babies" wouldn't give you allmost any reputation, so FC-ing was both useless, shamefiull, disrespectfull, as well was killing the "youngs", for we wanted to promote Ettens and have as many players enjoing the experience, not to get bored and making them feel useless, and turn away from it before it began. That said, it was shamefull and disrespectfull to harras people doing dailies on both sides. Of course, there were allways few burglairs or wargs hiding in some bushes, but they were usually dealt pretty fast. But ganking on people doing dailies - that was sad and shamefull thing.
Now, I respect the change I see now. Creeps are overpowered, outnumbering freeps, gangbanging whole raids if they ever try to put up a fight, as mentioned in previous posts, it end up sad and useless. People trying to do dailies get sloughtered, and most of the times the Creep side don't have even enough decency to give us TR and graveyard, but hunted us back to Glan Vraig. Sad, sad days.
And not that this shameless behaviour is not enough, but we also have continual ganking of those who try dueling. Getting the easy kill is, it seems, all what it is about in ettens. Allright, I respect the change, I might not like it, but one must to adapt.
Now, I am "one Character player". I have Lona whom I like, and allways took pride in my skills and deeds, nomatter how this might sound "huntardish" to someone. All my other chars are "slaves" to Lona's needs, and craft for him what he needs.
That said, I swear to you all Creeps out there, except for Lozog whom I find most noble of unfamiliar names to me, for I havent played this game for a year or so, and few old Creep names whom I remember for their player skills or even when they were babies, and I swear by my 10500 kills that got me to my rank 7, that were made when it actually meant something, you are all fair game to me. I don't care if you are few in numbers, if you are low in rank, if you are an army, I'll do my evry best to stop you, kill you, gain any advantage I can aggainst you, for you are not to be respected. Once there were honour in PvP, now it is all about raging hormons that should actually be dealt in some other way.
Now, back to the quote. Yes, we were there, on that riverbank, witnesing the rediculus situation, and that reaver died over and over, trying to get free renown. We were standing by, trying to stop that. and than you and your horde came along, and whiped the majority of us out. Did you try to stop what was going on? Oh, wait, no? You went for easy kill of someone in lvl 75 armor, with no more than 7k hp, right? Wait, does that comes into category of FCing for you? It is shameless, that's what it is. And you dare to lecture soemone now? To slender someone's good name in public like this?
Never the less, inspite of all creep try to stop us we made than night map blue, and took our "goodies" back to our keep for saveing. If the night is the only time we actually can do any dailies, so be it.
At the end, to all those freeps who had time to read my five cent about this, I wish you good hunting, steady arm, and clear eyesight. And to all those creeps that are maliciously enjoing this stupid change where 12 people cannot kill a group of 4 (defiler, warleader, reaver and warg) cose of all those 5 min cooldown imunities that you can get as freep as rank12 or higher, enjoy it while it lasts. Eventually it will change aggain, and bring more balance to the game. Or it will make ettens empty aggain.

Blah Blah Blah another Freep whine. The whine will only stop when u guys are OP godmode once more and zerging the creeps off the map with very little effort. Until then give the crying and whine a rest for goodness sake. We get it, deal with it until the tables turn in your favour once again. Zeesh, will the whining and crying from the Freep side never stop until then?“It needs but one foe to breed a war, and those who have not swords can still die upon them.”
