To all the flames on primal datacenter...

From word of mouth, does any other server cluster have better Adders? This is killing me how bad overall Adders are over the past two weeks.

Why, hey there Bates.

(Ive never really talked on the forums before)
Hey Februs, fancy seeing you here.

I agree completely. A responsive team is a winning team. It always breaks my heart to see 80% of the team head to a node, with 20% doing their own thing. Callouts, especially with sound effects, are so key. I havent seen this happen as much, but sometimes theres too many cooks in the kitchen, which brings its own hosts of problems.

Ultimately, I think it comes down to experience. When I first started seal rock, I would shoulder tackle my way into the middle of a crowd & get ganked, I would sit on a node by myself for l33t defense and I pay attention to chat during downtime. Joining a linkshell was a godsend. At least that way, we have some influence over the mob

I figured, lol. I haven't seen your name in the Forums before... but I'd recognize that hat anywhere XD.

I agree. Experience makes a big difference, and I think it shows the most in our GC's win/loss rate during the week. I played a few games in the late hours last night, that were remarkably better in quality than the crap I was putting up with Tues-Wed, and people were actually responding to the call outs and moving as a mob. I really don't understand how noobs don't get that bit. It's the simplest thing in the world to not split up and have strength in numbers, but the biggest mistake I see in noob groups is dividing their forces across the map and getting steamrolled for it.

I wish I could say that a LS helped with this. I'm part of two (used to be 3), but on my server they're useless. The players are not active enough and no one responds to call outs. I've been pretty much forced to roll solo the whole time.

*yawn* need more people to help me herd the sheep of flames from getting themselves slaughtered :T

I don't know why people keep saying flames are so bad still. Adders are without question the weakest of the three GCs lately. If you're trying to get us (as in maelstrom) to keep underestimating you guys its not gonna work lol.

Mael and Flames: Rivals for Life lol... or, at least until SE eliminates GC restrictions.

Seriously though, that is how it actually feels sometimes. There have been matches I've been in where the Mael and Flames have been in such a heated contest against one another that when the Adders show up people get angry because they had the indecency to cut in. They're all like, "get the hell out of here, Yellow!! We're busy!" lol.

Adders always have to piss in someone's cereal towards the end.

Yeah, and in the games I've played, it's usually ours...sometimes Mael's.

[Casmir_Chev]

The reason adders are so bad is because good players either switched GCs or quit frontlines. I quit frontlines, got to 50 and gave up on getting the coat. I refuse to level up to 50 on another GC so I wont switch but I refuse to play with the adders. Even if we have the most points we lose it because of the terrible players Gridania draws in.

Primal Adders are absolute garbage and are beyond redemption in Seize. They continuously find creative ways to hit new lows. There's no wonder the Serpent Steed is the most rare. Going hard for 3+ weeks on this thing and only 50/100 wins. Absolute trash. Maelstrom and Flames are much better. The fact I couldn't transfer for the duration of this farce to a better cluster for Adders sucks. Thanks a lot SE.
