So it looks like Albion will be geting just 1 new class in Catacombs wile midguard and hibernia get 2. I was thinking how this will effect Albion? think how bad SI was with savages and bone dancers... luckiliy hibs got animilist's and albion got reavers for rvr.. necros and valewalkers arnt all that great in rvr.. [not being mena or nasty im sure they are if played corect befor you start whining] but in catacombs albion will get just one class with will ither be insanliy good in RvR or terible and only be good in pve. like valewalkers/necros. if this is so how will the old classes hold up against thes new uber classes. when si came alot of old classes were hopless in rvr and with two new hib/mid classes wich im sure are going to be very good in rvr situation how are the old alb classes going to stand? now im sure this has been asked befor so dont start spiting venom at me :)

mythic have always tried to balance realm population but giving mids and hibs more powerful RvR classes with abilities unavalible to Albion. This then results in those classes being nerfed at some point (just look at Savages, and Animists). Unless the Zealot offers speed, some form of CC and instent range AOE CC i don't see what the class can really offer Albion.

Balance the realms and then the population should start to balance itself out.

Well, you're right :)


But (unlike what i did years ago when i started, joined the realm that looped the coolest! ;p) new people joining the servers must have read a little about it, heard a little about it - just by reading these boards theres alot of information, about whos zerging this week and who was zerging last week and who is bound to be zerging next week.

But then again, im not sure all those cs kiddies can read yet :p

um, the fact that alb was only getting one class is old news :D

albs are always complaining they have too many classes anyway, now its time for mids/hibs to catch up? ;)

Its too early really to make any kind of guesses about the impact, if any, of Catacombs on which realms people will choose to play.

true, we can't really tell anything until the yanks have played it a bit.
i doubt even mythic knows how the new classes will affect the realms,
mids tho still have the least amount of classes to play by one, albs and hibs are on par. Mids chars will have much more utility and variable ways to spec.
Just really need to wait and see how it affects america, where most servers albion seem to be the strongest.

fact of all computer games, you start playing on an easy setting and then move up to the hardest settings.

Right, get lvl 50, get some rps, items etc.
Next thing delete all your stuff and move other realm to play medium difficulty, after which you'll reroll for hard? :<

I fully agree with that, more mids'n'hibs can only mean that albion will be looked upon in pity, but then again maybe our prayers have been answered and this Zealot thingeh is just what albion need? We shall see...

NO ITS MY RESPONCE TO ANYONE THAT DOESN'T RESPECT OTHER PEOPLES OPINIONS.

Forums are suppose to be about discution and information, but too many people can't come up with ideas or decent responces of there own, so they simply resort to abuse or if they are realy attacking spelling and gramma. But if people want to do this why should I care.

I mean.. how hard is it?

perfect example, Shike clearly cannot add anything to the discution.

Eroa, its clear you agree with the first post yet don't want to so you have resorted to picking on spelling.

they said albion was going to get 1 class compared with 2 to give people a reason to play on hibernia/midgard.

You dont have to buy the expansion there isnt any document signed anywhere when you bought classic.

"customer you are now bound by law to purchase all expansions we produce. MUWAHAHAHAH"


From the sounds of it albion are going to get the tertiary healer sounds similar to hibs warden like a friar but probbly a caster. I can see probbly mentalist type.

Hib have yet to have a description which will be

Vampire Sucks the life from your friends till they delete and reroll on a proper server.
Banshee Screams and whines while stood in Druim ligen LFG LFG and will instantly run to the nearest forum tocomplain at how they were rolled and how they hate mythic :)

Ok im being sarcastic but really does it matter that albions getting 1 class and hib and mid getting two the difference between classes means that albions

"We got too many classes" argument should disapear.

ANyways it wont matter the new classes going to be broken for i say 6 months then be fixed slightly then 2 weeks after will be nerfed into the ground and everyone will reroll somthing else.

Albion's utility IS too dilute. Look at Sorcs. No utility at all. They should make the Zealot a Thane !

Mythic have hardly every tried to balance population, untill NF release they didn't really give a flying fuck about population - the most they did was implement some half assed system that never worked as intended (/level 30).
