Help me decide (please) pryd/mid - pryd/alb

[Alan]

With clustering comming up soon, id like to make the final decision on which realm to play on pryd. Otherwise ill just be stuck on excal.

So...

Pryd/Alb
Played for about 3 years before quitting the game
No charactes left, so starting from /level 20
Still have some old friends that hang around there
Love the Theurg and Pally classes

Pryd/Mid
Never played mid properly before
Bored of the "human" look, so hib and mid are appealing now
Dont know a thing about mid - will be fun exploring and getting lost


Arghhhhhhhhh I just cant decide, one thing thio - id love to level two charactes at the same time of which one would be a buffer, the less downtime the better, eg on alb would go for a necro+cleric

Alb = easymode epic PvE with theurgs, minstrels etc.
Mid = easymode PL/exping with supp sms and shaman bots.

If you've played Alb and Hib a lot I'd suggest midgard. It was the realm I started on and I still think there are better mob camps there than the other realms. I also prefered the lands in middie especially SI and Raumarik/Malmo.

I don't play there anymore though, didn't gel with the local population

I'd honestly say try mid mate, otherwise you've not even touched on 1/3rd of the game. Shaman + SM would be a nice pairing, actually shaman + anything works pretty well. Hell I even liked playing a shaman in RvR :-P

 

[Outlander]

mid shammy and sm prolly yea.

 

[inqy]

any spec healer (base stun) + hexing warlock is evul too

 

[Crystal]

Choose MID! Then we can play together in the future maybe

 

[Dorin]

try mid, high level pve is a pain if you dont have ml9_suppression sm but otherwise its nice

 

[Alan]

Lol so many saying mid - any points of view from alb ?

 

[Helme]

Summoning not supp and Midgard is a great realm, until you start with ToA, forget 1½ hour ML4 raids and 2 hour ML6 raids, heck even forget doing ML10 without 30 people(in a reasonable time ie. less then 6 hours )

But when you start to RvR however, its well worth it - easymode ftw!

yeh meant summoning xD and ofc i covered arties only.... master level trials are just A PAAAAin

true :s

 

[Flimgoblin]

go alb, then you can smite!

but if you've never tried mid give it a shot

 

[Deepflame]

I tried midgard, but solo is boring and I find the landscape to be barren and desolate.

 

[Samaroon EatsCheese]

or x-bow!

Why summoning ? isnt this the pet buff line - kinda useless if ill be doing a spiritmaster+shaman combo ?

Mid has some great classes for exping and RvR but they really are the redheaded bastard stepchild when it comes to high end PvE, the lack of a pet spamming class really hurts them but how do you add one without seriously compromising an already confused RvR setup. At the end of the day if you want to get ML10 in any reasonable amount of time go Albion and perhaps try a cleric/cabby combo but if you want a new experience with very strong classes packed with utility and done don't mind waiting months to get ML's done the Midgard is the realm for you. Personally I would have loved to play Midgard but I find it such a depressing realm to level and quest in that I always give up after a week because the place is BLEAK!

 

[Alan]

Decision made.

I logged into Mid last night, created a nice Frosty spiritmaster and shaman combo, found the 10-20 instance dungeon and was pulling pretty fast, things were going well until i exited the dungeon.

The landscape was brown, void of life - reminded me of work
The troll merchant at the local town just reminded me of my boss
The little Kobold reminded me of our IT Support desk

I spend all day in a dull drab boring office, and no offence to any other mid players but damn... the only thing to make these zones habitable would be some female Luri's wrestling in all the mud.

So, back to Alb i went.

You play a RM and say it's easy mode, that's somewhat strange to me :>

Why do you think they try and invade Hibernia?

If Mythic had been smart they would have made the warlock into midgards petspam class :/ Everyone would have been happy with that - just make it summon daemons or some such, and mix its abilities from theurg and animist. Mid would have gotten easier high level pve and there would not have been another overpowered rvr class introduced.

About mid beeing bleak, well, myself i have always found the mid landscape the most appealing To me it looks the most realistic - the other 2 realms colouring/setting always felt like something out of a 60's musical to me.
But i guess it has alot to do with where you first started out in the game and possibly also where you are from irl.

Quite often I ran over the hills of albion singing about Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens.

 

[Tesla Monkor]

Heh. Say that ain't so. o_o

 

[Deepflame]

Haha

Actually this would explain alot about albs

Nah, i've always seen Albion as green and pleasant, appropriate really as to quote William Blake and his poem 'Milton'

I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land

Amusing that it got hijacked by Sir Hubert Parry a couple of hundred years later and turned (along with the rest of the piece) into the song which kinda became a second, unofficial, national anthem for the UK, Jerusalem.

More disturbing is the fact that some idiot politician wanted to have the song banned for being too nationalistic or some crap like that... Idiot

Anthem for England perhaps .... but not for the rest of the UK.

A fair point...
