but if you nail your opponent in the eyes, he won't be able to hit the dartboard now, won't he? and therefore, you win by default.

anyway, you are wrong on every count. i guess we all know why kurzicks are bad at AB now.

Let's see what's recommended in this thread:
1) ignoring other players, you know, the ones stopping you from winning
2) no team synergy
3) mobbing
4) running in circles

This thread reminds me why I'm so happy I'm switching to Luxon the next time I log on.

Forget about carefully balanced teams -- just get in and go.
and you wonder why the kurz are always losing at AB....

No, whether you win is not defined. Maybe win by default, maybe get disqualified, maybe the game is undecided. Such action is trivial to the game.

the win condition for darts is whoever scores the most hits on the best spots. a blind person will invariably score worse than a non-blind person. similarly, AB is decided on whoever reaches 500 points first. how that's achieved is of little consequence; since HOLDING shrines (not just capping them) and scoring kills both will result in points.

no, but keep proving yours. it's quite entertaining.

after having practiced playing darts blind for the past 10 years, @ 20 feet from the board with the board exactly 6.5 feet high on the wall. i am able to hit the center 1 out of every 2 or 3 throws. i can always hit 20points when aiming for it, and can hit triple 20 1 out of 5 throws. bah!

@ OP: ur fvcking strategy is to FVCKING MOB?!?! u should be banned from AB -_- how will u out-manuever and out-cap 3 teams of 4 running around u and capping shrines 3x as fast as u? some strategical mastermind you are... *facepalm*

in AB, u want to be able to move quickly as a team of 4, obliterate shrine NPC's in seconds, and retain the ability to quickly dispatch enemies that u encounter while running between shrines. killing enemies that u encounter between shrines nets u points, faction, disorganizes their teams forcing them to regroup, and slows them from recapping shrines by forcing them to wait for res time and run further distances.

/close cause OP removed 1st post content.

p.s. sorry for being so harsh i guess but mobbing is the last thing u wanna do in AB.










p.s. the dart stuff was bull shit

Damnit he edited out the post before I could read it I'm sad now.

p.s I believe the goal in darts is not to score the most points but lose points?? I'm pretty sure its first to 0 from 501 so scoring the most doesn't necessarily make you win, or have I been deceived all this time?

To summerise ab i always say:

Cap m crazy & slap m silly

Capturing shrines is part of ab, but keeping them is also part of it. If the enemy team is dead, they cannot capture for 20 seconds. (As simple as that )

Also a fact is that each death is 3 points.

Capping alone doesn't cut it & mobbing up is losing points. (Don't do a 4 people job with 8)
