[Elkie]

lol, tbh that looks uber, will be interesting to see how it goes in europe, i got a hero ready to fight, but a solo POV might be very different. Let's wait and see

 

[Infanity]

Just wondering, You can get artis etc there yeh ?

 

[Kinag]

Fucking hell, that's old emain

 

[~Latency~]

Looks good but that eld sucked :S

 

[RandomDotCom]

Just wondering, You can get artis etc there yeh ?

caps are:

lvl 49.9 (45-49 basically)
rr 4L9
ml5

anything else goes, arti's, levi drops, ml10 drops, whatever. all arti charges/procs work @ activation level (so malice proc works and so does the charge @ 46) alacratious/celerity procs are also lvl 49. i have one on my hero, gonna be great

just so you know, the item caps are

9% toa bonus, 24 cap increase, 74(?) item bonus, 25 resists, 49 af, 196 (?) hp + cap @ 49

yup, but that movie was made on classic server

Looks like a nice fun BG.

But my god this eldie needs to use the keyboard numbers or qbinds :> everything happens so damn slow! :>

 

[censi]

whats the point in "BG"ifying a toon to that level with all those "near" cap caps etc when you would just have to rework the temp at 50.

Imo though the idea of going back to a lik bg area old emain style seems really appealing.

Just make it a level 50 BG or summin

nice bg aye, but it's about it being attractive to play in. takes a lot of time to pl a toon to 49, then toa it up, then get a bot ready too. then if you find it to be empty, you've just wasted 2/3 weeks of your life. i hope it doesnt fall through, as it's a good bg to play in. Less OP skills (like lvl 50 taps on sorcs/cabby) but while having that refreshing taste of toa in it. No casters standing there with a bg bot laughing at you irl cuz they can nuke you to death and you're helpless. ml5 cap is good, as it allows for the less OP skills (fop/essence flames etc) to be accesible. really i think this is one of the best moves mythic has ever done. how people react to it will determine the fate of the bg.

i been doing my hero around 2 weeks now. he's just dinged 49 and virtually finished templated. i'm really just finishing EHB and naxos quests, then i have to decide which shield i'm going to use. any suggestions? ;p

a lot of people want to avoid lvl 50 skills as they think they are too OP and unappealing to fight against (healer 11 stun, annihilation, lvl 50 lifetaps/nukes)

btw, i got malice as slash 2h, a lot of people say blunt is better. but i can't see why. should i respec my malice as 2h blunt or stick to slash? i'll mostly be playing solo

i'll be back soon my love just .5 of a level and some arti exp to go

and patch i'd say will be a month maybe, let's see what goa say in fridays news

 

[Chronictank]

will be interesting tbh,
gank grps with a rr cap so they are always even :x
then we see how good people really are ^^
unfortunately it wont happen as people are far too used to their toys and cba/cant make a new toon for it

getting a toon to 49 is piss, it's the arti's / arti exp that puts people off. and starting from scratch when you have an rr11 toon isn't appealing to some people.

but it would be very cool to see grps like old dem hibbies/groove etc out there, with new toons, showing they have skills instead of lots of rr's

 

[Commandment]

what? you mean shit? lol sorry had too :>

looks a bit iffy tbh. dont think ill bother with it. would just plain annoy me running around all the time on a toon that aint 50.

i personally only have 1 slot left on my account which i use as a loot bot atm >< might delete a lower rr to make some room and log on again as it sounds pretty interesting

It's hard enough to get a rvr grp nowadays, dont even think about mentioning a new pve group project please.

 

[Vodkafairy]

had to turn it off because that eld made my eyes bleed, but anyways, nice to see what the zone is like.

tbh i think its totally retarded they implement this now - its like classic server #2, its going to spread the active rvr population a lot more over different places. old frontiers was great and playing there on shards really makes me wish we would have it back (with some tweaks and improvements)

but a second frontier next to the existing one will just be bad for rvr, hope im wrong.

i'll be very honest mate, unless you run in a very high rr grp who has the survivability to take on zergs,rvr atm (at least before i left) was very very dull.
People wanted a battleground for grps this presents the perfect opertunity for one so i'm all for it
I really dont think the majority will move to it tho, i'd be perfectly happy if they created a tweaked emain in the place of Agramon to be very honest

 

[ebenezer]

aye have to agree with vodka here. Make improvement for what we have instead dont make it worse by thinning the population anymore now.

guess you don't play thid then. the idea is the same, the level/utility is different. not trying something cuz it doesn't revolve around the big 5-0 is a little sad, but it's your acc, your subs, your playstyle.

populations will thin regardless. especially in hib/mid with all the alb alts now being logged on due to the increased damage. and with the game aging, a refreshing taste of the old days (cathal valley being more like old emain than agramon will ever be) could even help INCREASE rvr populations. once you have rr's in cathal valley, there will be nothing to stop you going into big boy rvr, with rr's under your belt, instead of as an rr1 toon.

what i ment about the lvl 50 thing aswell is , knowing there is a cap. knowing your rps are gonna stop, i dont see the fun? i have played thid, even in "thid set groups" <funny when i think about it>

But you get your temp and earn your rps, but its all going to stop. Then your just kinda playing the sameoldsong , turned redundant. Just my view on it atleast :>

You can think that aswell about 50 rvr but theres a bit more of a challenge to get what is it 64 million rps?

4l9 is verra easy with new patch.


and yes theres the old emain factor blah blah blah, yea its cool with its shit load of hills and uber choke points for zerg farming. 23784287364 scout/ranger Stealth zergs at each milegate.

bah i dunno :x

 

[Dorimor1]

That eld is terrible.

And rofl at last songxD

I will definatly go there, may even take one of my thid toons there.

Isn't that why they made /title?

 

[illu]

It's a good and a bad thing.

Good to learn your toon and get some RR's so that you are not cannon fodder in Real RvR(TM).

Bad that the population will thin a little by people playing there.

Good that maybe more toons will then come into Real RvR once they hit all their Caps.

Bad as there will be less low RR casters to chew up :>

Good because it's old Emain!

Bad because everyone at level 50 can't get in

I reckon it will eventually be the same as we have at the moment, in that there will probably be a few people that take it far too seriously and will eventually run twinked toons in FG's at cap on everything and just steamroll everyone testing out their toons. But at least it will be fun for a little while :> I wonder what the XP is like on any mobs that might be in there.......

Oli - Illu

 

[fl3a]

the only way to keep this bg from totally ruining real rvr is to disallow the use of /norp after lvl 45 or something. i really really dont like the idea of this bg and i think it should be just scrapped

 

[Elkie]

not even a thank you for finding the vid lol j/k i have to agree that is one shit caster in vid but i wernt really concentrating on the group performance
