Rushing

[gattsplatt]

Hey guys, recently, I decided to make a level 15 dex bear twink. Today, it was finally PK-ready, so I set off into the PvP maps.

I met some new friends, had some friendly duels, even learned a thing or two from some great pkers, right? WRONG. I was constantly greeted with rushers, teamers, and flame for being new and "not having a face" (yes, that was a rusher's excuse). The good players did nothing to help me, instead killing me on sight. I did, however, manage to join a guild, "Ez", and was feeling happy, because I felt like I finally belonged. For those of you who do not know, Ez is a pretty large 10-22 guild, and I met a new member in almost every match.

Just when I was settling in, getting to know the "rules" of pking, learning that I was supposed to rush back, ignore flamers, leave against teamers etc, disaster struck. I got back online after eating lunch, and about 30 seconds later I was kicked from the guild for "rushing a guildie"

I talked to the player who kicked me and he was less than sympathetic. Apparently, I had rushed him mercilessly, spawn killing and all. However, I have never rushed first, nor had I seen his name (Niffers), and I had only been online for 30 seconds!

Does this happen often? I find it hard to look forward to a day of pking tomorrow if this is going to be the general theme.
Also, I would appreciate if someone gives me some concrete tips on what to do if I'm being rushed/teamed for "being new".

TL;DR: I rant about getting wrecked in PvP, anyone want to give the poor noob some advice?

Join fast paced pvp

[MightyMicah]

My advice is level up to 51 and chill with the real pvpers

I saw that, they were rushing bc you had no face... Couldn't help I was on their team D:

Some people take being teamed harder than others. The way I see it is you can either do these following options :
1. Take it. If you don't care about your kd ,being teamed can actually help improve you as a player. Low level players are like a pack of wolves if they smell weakness then they will eat you. I have experience of the low level scene and your not the only one it happens to.
2. Pvp with a different crowd whether that be moving to a more mature group of players e.g I agree with Micah 50-51 seems to have a good "vibe" or setting up your own game and booting people if you must.
3. Leave the game.
4. Try to have fun. It's a game so do what ever gives you enjoyment.
5. If you have friends ( not meant for it to be interpreted as an insult) invite them even the numbers up and have a FFA. I would recommend you practise so you can at least defend yourself.
And remember everyone gets teamed.

Come up the levels it's a little less hostile

[DivineMoustache]

l15 is a cool place, i like it. generally the top players are polite most of the time, with some exceptions just like at any level. However, 12-20 probably has the largest population of any PvP level besides higher level stuff like 71-76. More players = more personalities = higher chance of bad apples.

The two MOST important words of advice I have are:

if you get teamed and have no help that could come: JUST LEAVE THE MATCH. Don't try to fight 2v1. It's nearly impossible at low level.
Don't say anything while rushing/getting rushed. Just say "ow" or something if you have anything to say.

i just had the same problem with the same guild. An officer of the guild started rushing me knowing that i was in the guild i rushed him back and did what they told me to do and he just kicked me

BTW: they hunt anyone that is kicked from the guild i learned that from the gc


Also, he rushed me because i pwned him in 1v1

Josh for president!!!

I second the motion!

What I've noticed with 10-20 is that all you need to not be rushed is a hidden/good kdr and some decent vanities, I've had several secret alts and that's my best advice to you and other people starting the level. Making friends and joining a guild also helps.

[gattsplatt]

Thanks for the advice everyone! I think I'll work on acquiring friends and vanities. Outside of the 3 year veteran shield, what should I use?

[Burningdex]

wait for halloween get those then @ xmas get snowflakes

or

use red sombrero

red phoenix wings

artisan

and 3 yr shield

If you have a hidden kdr your likely to be rushed unless you prove your actually good :/

I have played against ez. most of the people in it team you and the rare goods get kicked its just not a good guild. Zone would be better. Yes hung I said ur guilds good.

[JTZ]

That's not very true, I've had several alts and no one's rushed me when I hid my kdr except for maybe anoweeba lul
I just listed the things that make me think twice when I rush someone and a hidden kdr is better than one with a low amount of kills, that's why I hide mine until I hit 1k or so..

[The Voices]

*yawn* Look what happens when I check forums. A spring of activity about 'RUSHING'.

Well, here's what I've got to say:
If you're not going to level up to Micah's level of PvP, I suppose you're going to have to deal with this. #lowleveldrama Well, go to CS, pick up a frigging overpriced Forgotten Bow, and keel every annoying guy that pisses you off. #FbowTewOP? Ok... I was trolling on the second one, refer to 'dealing with it' or 'Join The Dark Side ---> Micah's 51 Lvl Pvp'. (Eh? You get it? 'Dark Side'? 'Dark Side' referring to Shadow Caves and Hate/Shotgun Sets?) :3

[Laar]

On both my 51 and 56 mage, I hide my KD, just because I rush too much lol.

Honestly, I think that you should wait until Valentine's Day hits, because I have fallen in love with that Wall of Love. (Eh? 'Wall of Love', referring to Valentine's Day?) *sigh...*
