More than 'solo for a week' people need to try 'solo when the other side's pop calls for it' and 'grouped when the other side's pop calls for it.' There is NOTHING wrong with group play. The problem comes from groups when there's no groups to fight against, or grouping and avoiding the other groups.

Just stop. I'm trying to feel good about myself by soloing to the point of sadism!

I spend 90% of my time soloing, which is why I die a fair bit and get stuff all infamy, Purukhai fell of his chair with laughter when I told him I've barely hit 15k infamy since hitting R8. Who gives a ####, it's all about the lols.
So, I'm doing the anti-challenge, I will group up every single chance I get, hopefully zergs so I can zerg butthurt freeps. I will ride the craid leader for infamies, THERE WILL BE NO LOLS.... Just infamies.
I may also make groups to camp freeps... So if you freep can send me your travel plans for the next week... That would be super.

THat logic can easily be reversed....Are you actually saying that other people should play according to how someone else dictates them to play? That is pretty Presumpuois!! You comment seems rooted in the kind of elitism that has ruined the moors. My opinion of corse. You see, my logic can also be reversed. But I understand that people are gonna play how they want to play regardless of what I want them to do.

Hmm, maybe the figures from Webferth were too high that the datatype could not handle it and showed only 0 instead ?
What was your combat log showing, out of curiousity? and odd that he stayed on his horse the whole time. Maybe you were seriously lagged and got nearly one-shotted?

Unless Hithy now has less than 5k morale, one shotted is...not reasonable.
It's much more likely that the combat parser is not set up correctly and/or the tab wasn't showing incoming attacks from that player (ie, the drop down wasn't selected for the player).

That's not it Jaiyneybaby. There was absolutely nothing in my combat log whatsoever from him.
He stayed mounted in the water even as I was attacking. His horse vanished, he kept the same mounted position, performed no combat maneuvres, and when I died he left the water to south OC and horse reappeared.
I will post the combat log itself later when I get home.
All very strange.

That is how the vast, vast majority of solo fights end up on both sides (unless it's a fight club). Makes the ones you're able to finish that much more satisfying or fun.

I have seen this before. In fact, there were a few times where on my screen I saw my opponent on horseback the whole fight, but on their screen, they were fighting normally. Pretty funny looking, actually. It's happened to Lee as well - there are still screenies of that portal into unicorn hell IIRC. Probably the same very old graphical bug. Doesn't really explain attacks not showing up in combat log, though. Not sure how they fit together.

So true Jaiyne, the ones you do get finished is total fun. Just hate it when you get 1 blow or bleed away from the kill, then poof.....another either joins in, or worse, a healer props them back up. It is what it is.
I've seen some wierd stuff as well, like dieing in what seems like a one shot kill - then going over the combat log, and seeing a bunch of blows delivered by the freep and a bunch of auto-attacks I did. Yet it never showed on screen, and I die without even hitting a skill. I just contribute it to lag - seems everybody experiences some at different times, and everyone gets the large spikes at the same time.
I'm really concerned with all new content - ever since Moria and the tech Turbine has put into the game since, lag and hitching has gotten worse each expansion/update. I can envision once we hit Mordor, everyone will be doing the stutter step dance.
I do not look for 1 vs 1's, but have really enjoyed for the most part those I have had, live or die. I do not care for fight clubs, but know and understand that some folks like to test themselves against one another. I remember Warginator used to hold tournaments in the area near POP. I would go to these and watch or fight. What I do not like is when a fight club is called on a major map in spot or high traffic area. The moors can surly accommodate more then one play style.

Well peepsies - that concludes my week of soloing.
A mixed bag - got squashed and cj'd by Uht, blew up Dagr, ate some lowbies, got tracked and shot by hunters where I cannot reach them, slaughtered a group of 5 on my own, lost heaps of solo fights.
Thanks to everyone for everything.
Hithy's warg packs will resume normal service with immediate effect. Let the nomming commence
