Title: Hoards
Post by: Clutz on August 12, 2009, 12:30:34 AM
I saw the most disgusting hoard tonight I have ever seen playing this game. Tonight there were two bases close together. Usually, with close bases, you get some guys that fly low and start things off. Then, you get your next vertical layer another 5k up from that. Then, you get another vertical layer 5k above that. Etc etc, until you got morons flying above the clouds, then diving down looking for little black dots. Anyway, tonight, these two close bases had hoards each to their own and with only their "own" country men. Neither would venture to to the next closest base, just a few miles away. Let me explain again.

There were 20 green guys flying at their base, and 20 red guys flying at their base, but not a single one of them would venture forth to engage a fight. Each group of 20 flew over their base for at least a half hour, waiting for one single sucker to fly into their so well built hoard bee hive. Out of 40 people, meaning the two bases of 20 each, I was just about the only one who had the nerve to fly into the hoard and try and drag one out. Hell, I went into the hoard and tried to fight 5 or 6 of them at the same time. Everybody else just flew around over their own base and grabbed more E. Cowards. Nothing but cowards.

40 Fighters and I am the only fighting. Well, me and the other 5 or 6 guys chasing me. But then, actually, that really is just me fighting, isn't it? Cowards, nothing but cowards. Disgusting.

Bit of advice for everyone if there is a hoard over a base don't go there, we all all know which squads are doing this.
It funny,they are not going to score potato using me.
If someone is warping I do the same and go somewhere else.

I guess it's time for me to log back in, and show you all how to take on the horde. It's pretty simple really.

 Step 1. Fly really fast into horde
 step 2 don't look behind you.
 step 3. burn all your E chasing a low set of Lancs
 step 4. pop flaps and spin in circles while multiple morons overshoot and auger trying to kill you
 step 5. return to tower, rethink your tactics, then repeat steps 1-4 because it's fun.

 :uhoh

I gotta give them cred.  They found a place to dominate.  At least when the 14th guy comes into the fight they can honestly say, " I didnt call them in!"

In my opinion this is what this game has become for most players.

-log in
-pick arena with the most players
-find base with a green blob and a red dar bar
-go vulch

or....

-find flashing V base
-go sit at spawn and rack up 100 gv kills

game play..........:x......not as fun as it used to be
but look at my score

Try taking a tempest and blowing through them, you should get 2 to 3 kills in one pass.  Just dont slow down, if you have 2 or 3 tempests its even better they wont even know what hit them.

I think a lot of you guys are missing a critical point to this post, which IMO makes it a pretty baseless whine.  (pun sort of intended :) )
Everyone is holding in a horde over THEIR base, they are not offensively hording.  (according to the OP)  Seems to me the easy way to avoid this is...fly somewhere else?  I can't imagine those 20 guys over their base are the ONLY ones in the air...unless your in purp  ;)

Now offensive hording -- that's a different ballgame.  But this phenomenon that you are describing seems far too avoidable to be worthy of a gripe.  Just my thoughts.

Hordes happen, nature of the beast. I went to a base last night the Rooks captured while I was in route. When I got there the Rooks had all but disappeared. Soon found myself under a huge dar of cons. Managed to take in 3 kills and slip out.

easy, because its a win win situation

a) if you like big furballs, join, or cut a piece out of it

b) if you don't like furballs ( hordes)  simply dont join there and stay out

You see, you have the choice, nothing more to say! call them gangbangers, call them cherry pickers, call it whatever you like. A good pilot knows how the stay away or even how to join if he will.

i personal like furball as long as the furball is below me  :D

It would be cool if missions posted were required to have a target entered by the poster that only the stats would see.  Might be a little embarrassing for the 30+NOE missions on undefended bases.  :eek:

Further, a mission stat section showing planes used and opponents #'s and plane types would be great!






Which is why I fly FSO and other Special Events.     :aok

 The horde is what it is , sometimes I'll go in the middle and see what I can get , other times I go away . you can often get suprised and live a long time in the middle of one , as they beat themselves to death to kill you its funny . But really this is something thats there and it won't go away anytime soon so what can I do , I play anyways .

After last night, no Rook should ever complain about hordes again ever. Bish were attacking 165 or 157, both in the same proximity. Calls went out repeatedly a full 30 minutes prior to their arrival. In the end only about 4 iRookies responded. Just four! We had numbers as well. Where were the rooks, attacking an undefended base. Now I don't know about others, when I saw them coming I said great a chance to mix it up. I sure don't know what others were thinking. Amazing to me we get 21 pages of furballers complaining about someone dropping hangers and then they do nothing when challenged.

I see that far more often with Nits than Bish---not sure if it's a country-wide epidemic, or practices of a few squads---main point is orbit your own base at 15-20k...wait for loners to come in....minimize your own risk. (yawn) Bish heap much more fun to fight :salute

What a coincidence. In orange last night there was an epic fight at 165 involving 2 rook bases, two full rook darbars and 3 bish task groups.  You must have been in 165 in blue. The fight in orange lasted quite a while.  In the middle of this fight, a huge rook mission passed just south at 20k.  Almost 15 buff formations and accompanying fighters flew by on their way to bomb a couple of different bases.  I flew 3 full sorties into this epic struggle before bish finally had the field successfully capped and vulched.  With the fight gone, I left but a titanic conflict had raged which lasted at least an hour and a half.  Man, sorry you missed it because it was at the very base number you mentioned and rooks were there in numbers with a fierce defense.

I'm sorry I missed it too.

2 sides to my story btw, while Rooks were hitting a bish base, there were no bish defenders, so maybe I was in the wrong arena.

Here's Proof! (see above) I wonder if some think I was brown nosing when I agreed with you earlier in this thread about Rooks defending 165 ferociously in one arena. No sir I know what I speak of. So apparently I'm brown nosing if I disagree and not brown nosing when I do. What a wonderful politician you would make.

BTW, you can ask Bish, I have ran many many missions. Dadsguns and I were the first to use the term "In-Your-Face" to describe above dar missions into heavily defended bases. It's tough to run a mission, you have everyone in the mission with their own idea about how the mission should work or maybe someone missing an advancing werble. Sometimes it only takes one person in the right place to ruin a mission or a wayward goon driver. One day I ran about 10 missions successively. (That get's old by the way as I like variety).

Uh, where's your proof!
Title: Re: Hoards
Post by: olskool2 on August 17, 2009, 10:09:31 AM
Every country has the same percentages of horders, tool shedders, massive missions runners, vet dogfighters, newbs and spies as every other country. Period. Fly with all three countries for 1+ month each and this will be proven to you.

It's best to simply come to terms with it and try to strategically deal. A lot of times you can fly through in something fast and have half the horde chase you 20 miles away from base, effectively taking away half their offensiveness.

On the flip side, you can always try to enlist random people for small, 4-5 plane, fighter sweep missions. Those are usually very fun if you can get some unit cohesion going.

Uh, where's your proof!

When I started the game I constantly joined missions as a crutch.  I was getting hammered to death out there all alone.  I learned a lot, and I started posting them myself shortly after.  As bad as I was flying and with little mission experience I was still able to get a bunch of goobers with ords, overwhelm with #'s, and still feel good about it.  The strategy is simple.

But like you said, "That get's old by the way as I like variety."

I don't mind missions.  I don't look down at those that run missions.  I'll even join a few here and there.  I just don't think it should promote chest thumping.

Of course missions and Hordes can be seperate. 

The best missions are never "posted".

Here's Proof! (see above) I wonder if some think I was brown nosing when I agreed with you earlier in this thread about Rooks defending 165 ferociously in one arena. No sir I know what I speak of. So apparently I'm brown nosing if I disagree and not brown nosing when I do. What a wonderful politician you would make.

BTW, you can ask Bish, I have ran many many missions. Dadsguns and I were the first to use the term "In-Your-Face" to describe above dar missions into heavily defended bases. It's tough to run a mission, you have everyone in the mission with their own idea about how the mission should work or maybe someone missing an advancing werble. Sometimes it only takes one person in the right place to ruin a mission or a wayward goon driver. One day I ran about 10 missions successively. (That get's old by the way as I like variety).

Uh, where's your proof!

None of the above matter except where you claim  you know what you speak of.  You said:

Doesn't surprise you can't with that attitude

Again, you have no idea if I can or not. So no, you don't know what you speak of.

When I started the game I constantly joined missions as a crutch.  I was getting hammered to death out there all alone.  I learned a lot, and I started posting them myself shortly after.  As bad as I was flying and with little mission experience I was still able to get a bunch of goobers with ords, overwhelm with #'s, and still feel good about it.  The strategy is simple.

But like you said, "That get's old by the way as I like variety."

I don't mind missions.  I don't look down at those that run missions.  I'll even join a few here and there.  I just don't think it should promote chest thumping.

Of course missions and Hordes can be seperate. 

The best missions are never "posted".



I totally agree (obviously)

I still have a lot of respect for people like Ghi, Joker, Dredger, Falcon23, and Apdrone (back in the day) who can put a solid mission together. Missions can be fun on several levels, team, social, and accomplishment.

As for me I never joined missions when I started playing the game. Lone wolfing was the only way. Right now I have no interest in missions maybe that will change in the future.

I did a little personal survey of the last couple of times I played. 9 of my kills were from stopping missions and about 9 were from just furballing. Read that as you may.

This really doesnt matter, but it was 54.  You seem defensive.  :rolleyes: Untill I was looking though my screenshots for a nice pic of a horde, I never even noticed Jaxx's comment.  Knowing Jaxx, he was prolly just being funny.  I doubt anyone would actually defend that swarm as not being a horde.

I don't think nits horde any more or less than other countries.

Is this "New Hoard" knights in Blue or Orange.  I wouldnt think that it would be orange because lately we have been outnumbered on a regular basis.  I'm sure the guys that usually fly on the low #'s side will back me up on that. 80th, AoM.  Of course it changes at certain times of the day.

All countries horde.

The only real difference I see is the bish are better at organizing than the other 2.

I've been involved in countless hordes, organized and unorganized. However, I will go lone wolfing to grab a few kills (if I can) that you are not likely to get in a horde.

Dear Igit,

Would you be more happy to see one lone FOOL flying into the field ack. Why whine because you can't coordinate a group effort to totally obliterate a target area. Good lord , are they supposed to lay down and say here I am come kill me !!!  Grow a pair and , coordinate and  and fly in from a different base and have some fun !!!  Whining POON !!!!    Hoard ..... our should I say BORG ,is just more opportunity to get some easy kills.... aim into the BORG and pull the dang trigger... why make a thread about getting your butt kicked  :x      I'd think you'd want to keep that one a secret :rofl

Any second grader can plan a successful mission.  The elements are incredibly simple.  I have however, seen a couple intricate missions that relied heavily on timing, diversions, and multiple targets.  Jokers jokers did one months ago on titanic tuesday that was very memorable.  The vast majority of the missions I see though are giant hordes who swarm a base and then bicker on range about if the town is/isn't down yet and if the map room has/hasn't been strafed yet.  It's pretty lame.

Seems like a Horde and a Mission are synomanous now. Oh well. Sometimes NOE works well when u need it too. WTF do I know anyway. Its a game. Shoot Red thingies. Blow watermelon up. Shoot more Red thingies, continue, to you wake up with QWERTY written on your face.

It's a typo. I doubt the way you spelled "specifically" or "orginal" is, though. You may want to consult spellcheck, yourself.   :aok

This has probably been mentioned already... but a hoard is a collection of valuables... i.e. the treasure of the mythical dragon creature is generally described as a "hoard".

A horde on the other hand, is what you're describing.

After taking about a year off from this game I resubscribed last week and for the most part had been having a pretty good time until I played on Titanic Tuesday. Nothing but hoardes everywhere and if you were looking for a good 1 on 1 fight you might as well go elsewhere. I can't for the life of me figure out why some of these people think that "flying" in packs as large as these can be any fun at all. :rolleyes:

Too many kids playing these days i guess :(
