Now, many of you think that hibs are quitting because of relic loss, actually this is far from the case, many hibs quit on release day, not even because we are getting gang banged by 2 realms, we can live with that. But because, we want to roam as a group of 8 people and enjoy it.

Now, there are a few fg v fg fights out there to be had, we dont mind fighting as the underdog, which hib is now on realm system. However we do mind fighting 5fg+ at once.

The fact that both mids and albs are in hibernia just makes the whole situation worse. If we want to go and defend a keep as a fg, its not possible as there wont be even 3fg albs/mids there, there will be 10fg

You might ask why this is the case just for hibernia and not the other realms. Well reason is, hibernia has alot less casual players as a percentage, even before you take our low numbers into account.

So all in all, even if we find a part of the game we love in the fg v fg fight, it comes up on the map, and another 5fg albs/mids show up. Dead albs get back into the frontier too fast etc.

I think hibs will enjoy the game alot more in 1.71 hwoever alot of old timer hibbies have quit now. Not being able to port to keeps anymore for us will be a godsend.

To all archers btw, hope u enjoy it, been there tried it, 0 satisfaction for me, but will leave u to it, u might aswell have a macro playing for u.


Cheers

lol, funny you mention archers, I always thought to myself, "how hard could it be to mez people or cast stun for that matter then pbaoe them to buggery....or nuke them for 800+ dmg....or insta them...

Differant strokes for differant folks.

The pressure is on the hibs now and lots (if reports here are to beleived) cant handle it...

Now you have some idea what its like to be an "average" Alb pre NF..

to me it sounds like the loss of GP and 25% resistpierce made many hibs quit.
not being able to stun nuke any char dead in 2-3 nukes..or being able to shrug of any type of CC must be very hard to get used to.

you still have the advantage of alb low heat/cold resists tho (still not too many friars out there).

in keepfights hibs can still defend easily agains albs...having many of those real pain-in-the-ass small (read luri) casters/archers, and having NS on a popular caster/spec makes it hard for albs to fight defended keeps.

but i can understand having both alb and midzerg in your frontier is a pain....but my guess is that will sort itself out real soon.

Lol @ noob hibs coming here posting that crap.
Ran into some high rr hib group who where having a great time ganking small groups of Albs who where trying to move around near nGed.
There are only a few keeps you have to defend to keep the power relic, the rest does not matter really.
And Hibs keep trying to cut off our supply routes (via nGed) while Mids have it easy and have 2 keeps they can port to...
Maybe time to realise who is the biggest realm on Excal server, instead of trying to play the game like it used to be played.
Regards, Glottis

If that was true we could at least outnumber our enemies.

Lol Glottis.

Nice try mate, started out as a whine on Eluvia and (as usual) it ended up a whine on mids.

Priceless as always!

FC are still dedicated to roaming as 1fg... you're welcome to bring your own full group and try to find us roaming around the Midgard Frontier, occasionally knocking over the odd tower to encourage some opposition to come and play! ;)

The Midgard Frontier is generally a little quiet at the moment, but it seems pretty well suited to fg vs fg RvR, and we only seem to get steamrollered by zergs once or twice a night - so it's a bit better than Emain used to be in that respect... :p

The main problem for fg RvR at present is just the sheer size of the frontier and how accessible it is. It's very difficult to find small fights, whereas the large ones tend to be quite obvious on the Realm War map. We need a quiet corner to roam around and fight in, and having spent a few nights exploring, Jamtland looks like the best option.

have to agree with the FC chaps here i decided to wander down to FC tower and was met with a constant 1fg mids attack on their tower... much more fun thab Zerg Vs Zerg.. the fights are there people.. you just need to look for them... and it helps not to wander to the biggest flame on the map..

toa made it close to impossible to reroll, or alot of the dedicated albs would jump ship to hib.

edit: oh and it has nothing to do with server Eluvia, its not just on excal, aint it like this on like every daoc server?

I was an average alb pre NF, and have played in gank grps in alb excal. hib excal, and Mid pryd, so this doesnt really wash. Was pretty even across all realms for me, though my mid gank grp went a little better i guess. My alb gank grp stopped to soon for us to really ever get owned much.

Actually i was always someone who had 9% spell dmg 10% spell pierce in template as opposed to 4% spell dmg 25% spell pierce.
So if u were nuked by eluvia, you know :). Respecced mana now back from light, as while light rocks, you needs to base your group around killing masses of people instead of killing 1 person fast.

you are just so dumb. "its the loss of GP that made hibs quit" <-- hibs dont get bored cause they get pwned in fg rvr you #¤&¤#(/¤(, its cause we get outnumbered 24/7, something YOU, the average alb noob, doesnt know the meaning of. all excuses you can think of for loosing is overpowered hibs... :rolleyes:

You were always outnumbered and this argument that there are no fg fights now is bollox. You might have to roam further to find them but they are there. Plus you can see where the big fights are so they are easier to avoid if that's what you want. Hibs do have it hard now in terms of defending their relics (though that will ease next patch with the teleportation changes), but don't come with the crap that hibs are leaving because of lack of fg fights...it just doesn't wash.

Indeed... I'd have toyed with the idea of rolling a Blademaster if it wasn't for the fact that I hate PvE! :p

Anyone know of an ML10 Female Celt Pierce BM with fully ToA'd/SC'd Armour that's quitting? :eek7:

do you remember when me and another ns were taking down a mid tower together, and your fg came? i spammed some emotes and a few minutes later ardamel showed up with his 50 man zerg to 'defend' it

:D
