The point is this, everything you do in an open world pvp area has consequences and that’s what this all boils down to: Cause & Effect.
Arrik, this has nothing to do with your capabilities as a leader nor mine as a player (which you have told me multiple times you hold in high esteem.) It has to do with actions & consequences.
Action: All creeps to “X”.
Consequence: Massive lag.
That is it, and that’s the extent of it.
All I really have to say anymore after this thread was deconstructed is if you agree that a raid of creeps cannot beat a raid of freeps that are well lead, geared, skilled and balanced; like those the Three Hunter Kings are capable of forming – Jmez, Snowlock and Yelk, all Fraid leaders, all kin leaders, all hunters; kinda cool – then my question is:
What the hell are you forming a raid for? Last four days in a row at different times I’ve seen the same thing, THK solo or small grouped and craid is formed. One of the Hunters forms a raid in return and stomps the craid. Not because of skill so much. But because creep healing is underpowered. You know this, I know this, everyone but the most biased knows this. So why do it?
LOL! If you are a high school football team, and you get to play football against Peyton Manning, you don’t get your full team against him and tackle him over and over until he gets pissed off because then he’s going to get his team together and stomp your faces in.
Actions & Consequences.
No, I’m not saying that any of the Hunters are Peyton Manning compared to you, Arrik nor that your craid is amateurish. I’m just saying if you will agree that due to the healing imbalance especially, a craid cannot beat a fraid, then if you have any common sense then why on earth would you create something that will lead to your own demise?
Contrary to the opinion of the liars and whiners, these guys are not running around in raids from the jump. They’re not Voa or Yand spamming OOC the minute they get in the zone for as many people to join them as possible. So why are you? You’re no craven like our 8 legged fleer. You’re willing to take a wipe or two and not log off in tears.
Actions & Consequences.
Sunday.
I’ve said before, I’ve become a fan of these Iron Rangers and their leader Snowlock. They’re interesting to me. They do things differently than any other leader on Brandy, sometimes. So a lot of my game time has been spent just following them around. I track one, try to keep my distance and just see what kind of trouble these guys get into. And I did it pretty much all Sunday.
Soleus was alternating between full on lies about Sunday and telling half truths. Do you want to tell the whole truth Arrik? Or shall I? I’ll leave it to you to respond. But I’d be careful because if you omit some key moments from either of the times you two had raids going I’m going to roflstomp you pubically.
But again, the gist of it was, Snowlock was small grouped, you formed a raid against him. He formed a raid and stomped you. Actions & Consequences.
Why didn’t you just pull in enough to be competitive? Why go whole hog? Another way of putting it is, lets say you had 24 small apples and he had 24 large apples and you were going to try and balance them on a teeter-totter. Now, do you go all 24 apples on each end initially? Nope, obviously the larger apples are heavier, you have no more to add to balance them out and up you go. However, if he starts out with 6 apples, and you start out with 6 apples, and he stays with six as you add one or two more at time to make the teeter-totter balance then you can achieve that balance! What a concept!
They’ve said on these forums multiple times they don’t grow without need. Even soleus amongst his lies admitted they stayed at 18 against your 24 plus goldtags. So why not try to match them instead of set yourself on a course to get beaten or create a massive lag fest for everyone?
Scared? Maybe. I watched 5 of these IR roll over an 8-man Ofs small group one satruday morning like they weren’t even there. But that’s what these guys do I think, it’s their jam, what they know. They’re from a small server, right? Maybe they couldn’t raid as much so they have more practice in small groups than we do. But that’s not to say we couldn’t get there.
I don’t know. You asked for my advice and you have it.
