Alb zergs, mythic finally knows

[Rothzak]

As most players of Dark Age of Camelot know, there is currently a disparate number of classes in the three Realms. The reasons for this go back into the shadows of Camelot's early design days, and even though it seems strange now, at the time we thought it was the right thing to do.

Now we are in a situation where Albion on almost all servers has a distinct advantage in simple terms of number of people playing characters in it. We've come up with some ways to alleviate this over the last few months, and today I'm going to tell you about another: in the upcoming Catacombs expansion, Albion will receive fewer new classes than the other Realms. In our current plan, Albion will receive one new class, Hibernia and Midgard will get two new classes each.

There are two reasons for doing this: the first is is to make up for the fact that Albion has one more class than Hibernia and two more than Midgard. Another reason is to motivate people to start new characters in Realms other than Albion to smooth out the population imbalances a little.

blablabla

Heh just read this thread, lucky then that when I entered the room I was already bent over with my trousers round my ankles

 

[Suedish]

Good.
Death to albs.

 

[Aeatan]

I wonder what kind of tools those new classes will get..

What'll they do about the current concentration of tools on mid and hib classes and the widely spread tools on the alb classes? Let's hope that they don't get confused with their own dillemma and add a alb class with the 'missing' tools instead and gimped classes for hibmid.

 

[Balbor]

why do mythic thing giving Overpowered classes to the other 2 realms will help increase there population, it didn't help last time.

Mid and Hib is full of people that are genrally bad at computer games and thus play them on easy. Most of the people that play DAOC are experienced gamers who like something that is gone to challenge them, if you want more people to join these realms maybe they should make them a bit tougher.

 

[Ormorof]

all realms zerg :wub:

yeah all realms zerg, not albs fault they have more people at their disposal to zerg with :wub:

 

[Otho]

I really whish I was as good as you so I could play alb, honestly

 

[Ormorof]

or maybe albs just play badly?

i actually chose mid because i thought trolls looked cool, didnt have a clue about midgard when i first started (also i have this strange phobia of knights in shining armor..... )

 

[Garok]

yeah all realms zerg, not albs fault they have more people at their disposal to zerg with :wub:

Mid and Ald have = numbers on Prydwen though no ?

 

[Garok]

Be interested to see how the classes pan out. Alb will most likely get another support class (some sort of dark priest i guess probably abit like a shammy).

But one things for sure ... before its released Albs gonna moan about how its one class is shite compared to hib/mid .. Mid gonna say theirs is crap compared to Alb/hib .. and so on. By which point those of us who could not care less will be playing WoW ><

 

[Eroa]

who want to make new chars when you have to get the artifacts, pulll em through ml's and such

 

[Leleith]

Mid and Hib is full of people that are genrally bad at computer games and thus play them on easy.

And you know this, how?
Ah, right... You´re the hardcore smite-cleric that comes here to whine on every class you create, and on their poor abilities and spells that are unable to comptete with even greycon mobs. You should know, of course...

i agree please replace thane, zerker, skald and sb with paladin, mercenary, minstrel and infil classes in that order so we are not so overpowered anymore here in mid. i sometimes win fights in rvr with my sb that must be because sbs are overpowered because i am so bad at computergames. if my sb was reclassed into a norseman-inf im sure it would be more balanced.

ah how right you are mids and hibs are bad at computer games.... oh hang on... nope your a blithering idiot to make such generalisations. 2.5 spec point infils, better range on attacks oh wait thats alb... go back to the hole you came from.

 

[Frosen]

Woot give mids and hibs some uber classes like the reaver and necro to :worthy: , they are so overpowered and full of utility that all realms need them to be able to compete. In fact give hibs and mids 20 new classes each with a new ability and albs none that will make it easier to make a grp combining as much ability's as possible.

tbh i'd rather have less classes in alb then the other realms with the same utility spread over them. But hey what do i know i'm just a dumb alb who only knows how to zerg, so go ahaed guys cheer to the new classes lol i hope they are as overpowered as alb's new classes rofl. :kissit:

 

[Maddude]

Is there any real facts on what sorta classes all the realms will get?

i reply to your cause its the easyest, well the 4 alb classes you want, while there is a paladin sitting at the top of the albion best characters on all euro servers, Mercs, Mincers and Infis don't even feature in the top 10, and there are 6 in the top 20.

In contrace there is a Skald at no.1 for mids (so i guess that cancels out a paladin at top of albs chart) with a thane at 3 and SB at 5. 4 in total in top 10 from those you mentioned, and like albs 6 in total in the top 20.

And if you want we can get some figure based on resent events.
Over all top 20 all realms/all Euro servers, none of those classes feature in the top 20. Mids have 12 characters (60%), hibs have 5 (25%) and albs have 3 (15%).

For the top 50 its, 26 Mids (52%), Hibs 18 (36%) and albs have 6 (12%)

This is the stupidist post i have EVER read on FH/BW, honestly man how old are you? sound like a 10 year old tbh.

This is the stupidist post i have EVER read on FH/BW, honestly man how old are you? sound like a 10 year old tbh.

lets see, out of Animist, Bonedancers and Necromancers, which one is best in RvR, i think its a tie between Animist and Bonedancer.

and which is the best in RvR from Savage, Reaver and Valewalkers, and i think its Savage.

So Barevoose which ones would you of gone for?

 

[Turamber]

Having spent some time playing all realms on different US servers there is a clear pattern in all realms. The people who only play one realm, and have only ever played one realm, think the other two realms are on "easy mode" and "full of cheaters".

Pretty sad really.

All of the realms have their advantages and their disadvantages and I would encourage anybody who thinks differently to go play another realm up to level 50 and, say RR3, and see if they still think that realm is "easy mode", "full of cheaters" or - a new one to me this Balbor - 'full of people who suck at computer games'.

Seriously, get a clue.

In my experience, having played all of the above characters, bonedancers and necromancers rarely get decent groups in RvR. Animists tend to group with other animists and, say, classes with power ward so that they can camp and farm at milegates. So, imo, they are all a bit sucky but necromancer's are extremely useful for powerlevelling a decent class for RvR.

Savages, reavers and valewalkers are all excellent light tanks and lots of fun to play ... although I quit before NF, savages had the advantage because of determination. Saying that I preferred playing my reaver because he could solo well and, being slash/shield specced, farmed shadowblades and hunters happily.

 

[Ilum]

ROFL thats a completely crap idea.

/level 30 didn't make people swap realms.
Now they have /level 20 and ToA to go through.

Yeah, Mythic, nice work xD
