Organizing RvR Fun and Grym's Return
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2006 4:11 pm
All right, so our unicorn riding lifetap spamming buddy is coming back. Leftover groups have always been about having fun in RvR. The reason why Leftover groups run into trouble is because of not having fun. Times when we didn't have fun were do to
a) boredom...sitting around at PKs waiting for the right classes to log in to get a decent Leftover group going
b) losing...running without healers (or only 1 healer) against Bedlam now seems silly, but at the time it was all we could gather
c) taking things too seriously...getting frustrated with people and/or mistakes
d) RvRing to the point where it became a second job, which didn't happen with us, but happens to hardcore gank guilds
So I'm thinking of not having a full on optimized gank group that runs open field 8vs8 all the time, but instead hoping to have all of us with at least 2 viable characters to play well out on the battlefield. We could adapt our group to tank-heavy vs caster-heavy or a mix of both depending on what we succeed with and what enemies are out. It would be great for the Leftovers to have 2 different styles of toons (i.e. Healer and a Tank, or Hybrid and a Caster, etc.) to log in, so we'd never be short of having the right classes available to play.
MLs and artis are all pretty easy now, and it isn't tough to get an alt going.
Any thoughts of creating an honorary leftover guild?
Let's storm keeps, run with zergs, go off on our own, take over towers, and have a lot of fun, like the good old days. It should be a fun time for all, and a lot of the magic will still be there, and Bridog will still be a parmesan eating POS!
