Hi guys!

I'm sure maybe some of you remember (Baldir the Minstrel). I've been away for almost a year now during my time in the army, hehe. In two and a half month, I'm finish there, and can come back to the game again if I want to.

Just wondering.. Has the game changed anything in one year, and is it still fun to play? Is it worth comming back? :)

Baldir.....

no..

unless your an animist or a bainshee...

but seriously, i am having grave reservations about the game, the next expansion doesn't seem to be igniting me to keep subscribing, which the others did...

Minstrel is now, if not the toughest, one of the toughest classes to play. If you like a challenge it's definitly worth coming back, but if you like easymode there's a lot of classes that have gotten 'love' in addition to the classes (casters) that were already overpowered. In 1v1, skald is probably the only class you will be able to compete with successfully. Minstrel is still a very good duo partner, like skald is.

If you think this is bad news, Mythic have said they're gonna be looking at skalds and minstrels after they're done with the "Labyrinth Of The Minotaur" expansion. ;)

Well, if you mean for random grp's and random fun, then no... If you get a good guild and/or have friends to grp with, then yes imo... Its the only reason I still play... the guild and friends, not the gameplay, anymore....admitted I can still be bloody fun to rvr... with friends :) I like it....its not all haters ^^

I like the game atm... you got a mincer to solo on, if you get tired of being zerged, stealthzerged etcetc, you can log on you theurg and get a grp or zerg yourself or whatever ring your bell. That is what i try to do anyway.. Hop around on a solo toon till i feel it is taking the piss, then log on caster and group a bit. Everyone are crying DHOOOOM but frankly i dont see how the game have changed severely the last couple of years. some people added/zerged back then and some do the same now.

Good to hear that not everyone hates the game :)

If you got the impression that I hate the game out of what I said, then maybe I said something wrong? I still enjoy playing a lot, I like that skalds are not the easiest to play 1v1. There are a few minstrels out there also that I enjoy fighting 1v1 (the most even fights). I like a challenge and don't care if I lose if it was a fun and challenging fight (like most are), so I also try to challenge the heroes and reavers (when I know I'll eat grass). :)

When I don't 1v1 or duo/trio, wich is also great fun, I run in FG rvr. There are still no groups who say no to a rr8+ skald, and a minstrel should be really good in a alb tank group (I know there are a few of those running atm also).

What I meant is that playing skald/minstrel solo is only fun if you enjoy a challenge (like me). So if you rather want easymode (I don't want that, but many do or else there would be no casters) - then you're better off with an overpowered class. ;)

If I was an alb I would play the minstrel! :cheers:

Yes you prolly lose 6 times in row, get zerged by stealthers, or die to Horner. But it still remains fun!
