Additional patch notes:
- With this patch we finally erase Midgard and convert all midgardian characters into thrust iniltrators.
Btw dunno why savages cry, the biggest hit with the nerfbat goes into cabalist's back, they were too overpowered for sure :kissit:

If I were a conspiracy theorist I would think that this is an example of how Mythic hates Albion and wants it so that the only Albion classes able to kill something will be NPCs.

SMs nerfed this patch too, and not just the farming FDS spec. Yes, I know cabbies get the same nerfbat.
Believe what you want if you don't play Mid, Mids are leaving in droves, and not just the fotm gank players. A lot of Mids that still have time to run on current subs simply don't log on any more and you can see this across the board in many guilds and not just RvR-optimised/fotm whatever you want to call it.
On the US servers, Mid has more /level 30 than any other realm, even including the fact that 3 just got taken off this.
The only thing remaining that albs have to whine-nerf is bonedancers but since these are not hugely effective in FG or zerg RvR then its not going to happen and infs and mincers are still going to have to accept a class exists in another realm that they can't wtfpwn all the time.
Mythic are continually making it less desirable to play Midgard. Less classes to choose from, continual nerfbatting, the shit end of the stick when it comes to RAs, and mostly only giving a few classes minor improvements that don't help one single iota in RvR. Ah how the summoning SMs leaped for joy when they realised they were going to become uber in RvR with a tough pet that can, er, do bugger all. (The laugh is that the intercept ability ain't no use if you have to send your pet off all the time to do the fighting for you. Sum SMs seriously got screwed there - if Summ SMs pet at least had a ranged attack they could keep the intercept ability useful to a degree).
If anyone can hand on heart say they don't think that all these factors combined don't have a negative effect then they have the intellect of a yoghurt or are in denial to a degree that makes them not worth debating with.

To be honest, if the fotm people want to quit because they can no-longer 1 shot people and now have to play tactically, then I say good riddance. Leave the decent and skilled Midgard players to play the game properly.
The truly skilled people will still be able to RvR well.

Kinda looking forward to this patch, the focus nerf will be good for all realms. Especially Midgard - TG has been under seige by focus farmers for too long, as for the Savage nerf well sooner or later all Mid tanks will be fucked, and then maybe Mythic will realise they've fucked up and start nerfing hib/alb tanks.
On a side note, Horray for +skill/magic all and 150ablatives on TG sleeves/legs

Don't see the reason 'Mids are leaving in droves', as there are two class nerfs:
Rvr nerf for savage (can't believe anyone seriously thought they would escape the nerfbat), which doesn't make the class obsolete though. If people are leaving due to this, then good riddance.
Rvr nerf for dark sm's/rc rm's due to debuffs debuffing for less- that hurts but there's traditionally a low number of people playing casters in midgard, hurts hibs 10* more as well. And still, i don't feel it makes caster groups unviable, just a bit tougher. Both classes though still have viable rvr specs-suppression.
Pve nerf for summoning sm's-how many were there anyway which weren't created specifically for TG farming? Don't think many people will leave due to fds nerf, since it wasn't even a popular way of pulling in Midgard like hib.
I really don't see which is the class that has been nerfed without justification and i don't see how this will affect Midgard's performance to a point where they will have to mass quit because they can't compete. I feel mid is going to be as strong as ever.
In fact, two classes which are quite popular in Midgard, Thane (for the looks) gets a small boost (ok, propably not enough) and skald gets a considerable one, even the constant vn whiners seem happy with skalds now.
As for the level 30 server, it's same number as hib ones and i don't feel that atm hib is underpowered or anything, /level 30 is hardly an indication of gimpness.
I agree that Mid has many classes/specs which are not that useful/viable/wanted rvr-wise but that's hardly different from alb/hib.

Oh don't get me wrong, the FDS was abused something rotten and created an amazing amount of bad feeling because there are a lot of greedy and selfish people that happily spoiled raids for others. However, its actually all the Sum SMs were good at, they have nothing else to offer. If you take something away, you really should give something back to give the (sub) class some kind of function in the game - Summoning isn't even that good a support spec because the only thing on it useful in RvR is the rez, everything else that looks good is so high up the specline you'd have to be a complete donkey to spec high enough to get it while lowering your primary line.
Its not actually just this patch alone, its a cumulative effect over time.
1.65 isn't the sole cause. If you read my post I did actually say continual nerfs, 1.65 is only the latest of them. You can't just keep taking away without people getting fed up. The Summ SM example above is just one instance of a subclass having their defining feature destroyed and nothing given back if people want to continue in that spec.
But anyway, its done, and all peeps can do now is sit back and watch the effects.
