Hibby powergamers? your thoughts please :)

weeeeeeellll.... i've been in hib since this game went retail in europe, and that means i've been here, and stuck with it the whole time while we were widely considered to be too damn gimped to be considered even slightly viable, these days however, things have changed :) our casters are feared and whined about, our bards are about to become yet another nerf thread creators hot little biscuit, our tanks are already better than anyone elses, our archers (though still suffering as all archers currently are :)) are about to be the best one's from all realms, etc...

what i'm wondering about is this: ARE MOST OF THE MIDDIE AND ALB POWERGAMERS GONNA COME OVER HERE IN A FLOOD?

it happened when they all jumped from mid to alb earlier when mid didnt have the lvl advantage any longer, alb got the numbers then because of that, now that alb is about to hit the point where most people will consider it to be an underdog realm as regards class abilities, how likely do you think it is that those people are gonna see the apparently "uber" hibernia and jump ship again?

personally, as far as i'm concerned they can keep em :) but what do you think? will the whine threads start calling us 1337ernia, since we will have become (with our new and ever so "mature" populace) a realm of laugh spamming wankers? or do you think things may just stay as nice as they've allways been yet without us getting stomped on left right and center because just about every single one of our classes are worse than any other around? (yes, that's not the case as it is now, but that's the change i'm talking of, it's already underway afterall, but we used to be able to do bugger all:)).

anyway, it'll be interesting to see how our populace changes during the next few patches in comparison to the other realms, should be amusing when people start complaining about the fact that all we ever do is zerg them with stupidly superior numbers... which will be absolutely no fun for us but hell you have to laugh at the thought! i still remember an emain when it'd be a constant 7-8 hibs trying to hold the crim valley against 40 albs at once :D

Think it's a bit unfair to call em all powergamers - some are nice ppl - despite their poor choice of realm ;)

But yeah a lotta the not-so-well established players are moving to hib in preparation for 1.52. Besides same answer as always mate - if someone annoys you and is just a dick thats what your /ignore list is there for.

When I bought the game I was told Hibernia had less people in it and was a lot weaker than the other 2 realms ...... which is why I joined hib! I think it's very sad if people would seriously switch realms just be on 'the winning side'! Just my 2 pence worth ...

Well, the begger population in hib has for sure increased latley.
I have also noticed alot more 1337 attitude and lvl 45+ ppl asking the most trivial questions most players learn before lvl 20 over the last few months.
I dont know if its sold accounts or Plvld n00bs that are ignorant to learn about the game.

Guess I am too feared or just un-polite :p that I don't get much of those plz plz plz tells just one asking buffs now and then and rarely asking also money in between but almost as usual as is to get someone asking money is to get someone ask to trade their stuff to their other character so guess I am liable person tho :}

Well happily I am in-active since this could get more plz money now flood on me now...just remember that when I am still evul when I come back :-p and beggar is always beggar. Only asking guild support is not begging so go and get yourself some nice guild if you can't think of a guild nice enough then I recommend ofcourse Eel :)

Btw. I know this is way off subject but I wasn't one who turned context as it is :p

In-topic now, I've been playing also when hibernia was 'the sucky one' of three realms still it is not that much better than midgard if any. Only thing I agree is that albs have gone few nerfs too much in way but still with their numbers they can match hib/mid realms so afterall situation is quite balanced atm. I myself don't believe nerf threads will end ever...there is always some class that can beat another and some class that can beat first class and get beaten by class it can beat hence closing the circle and making game´s own little equilibrium which ofcourse fails with other realm having better crowd control character than other or better tank or better what ever is good for tactic they use.

Yeah I am getting bored even myself here so better cut here afterall it's just a game but so is chess and wow at number of tactics that have been planned in it not to mention all forum-like talk about it. Well life is still biggest game just wishing there would be /anon or /afk option aswell :p

ugh buff beggers, never really had it before due to not playing a buffinf class, but since rolling my mentalist I dread the words "mr plz" spmammed as fast as they can hit their macro. :rolleyes:

Also Charonel, am I what you consider an alb powergamer? :eek:

perhaps the first lvl 50 misntrel you made counts :) but the second one was after they werent quite so much of a "i'll go solo an entire group of orange con's :D" class any longer :), and the fact that you made the second one in alb pryd says something too :)

i'm mainly talking about the people who all lvl'd middie skalds/hunters etc...when the servers first opened, then moved to alb when the mids no longer had the uber lvl advantage, and rolled clerics :) then infils when clerics were nerfed, adn will now come and make bards/manachanters or light mentas, oh and dont forget spearo's either :)

Actually my first minstrel was only level 43. :p And they were never a solo a group of oranges class, unless it was a small group (say 2-3) and they were casters or stealthers.
Also still very few mentalists about it seems, when people think of uber hib caster they either roll a void gimp or a mana chanter. :p

On the begging theme yeah - i mean do people honestly think shouting 'GIVE MONEY PLEASE', or worse 'OI YOU YOU'RE LEVEL 50 YOU SHOULD GIVE ME MONEY - GIVE ME SOME NOW - NO GIVE ME MORE' (you think i'm joking it does actually happen), while wearing expensive dyes - is going to get them very far? If you have money to spare on dying your armor below level twenty or so then you dont need to beg.

Lost count of the number of Level 30ish Nightshades who ask things about piercing and Celtic Dual though - i mean come on guys - either you've been stuck to someone and afk for the last 30 levels or you should know what they do by now!
Cant believe that certain ranger (well into his 20's) asked me how to use his bow the other day.....<sighs>

Not even close to being a powergamer I think ;)

Dunno where in hib your playing but there are lots of ments about, although not many seem to have gone mana (mines mana 24, light 17 at 30) once people find out I have POT 3 it's a nightmare!

Well if you do /who mentalist then do /who eldritch or /who enchanter the numbers speak for themselves, at least in my experience. ;)
As for going mana, I'm not one of the mana ments (I'm 5 mana, 29 light, 5 ment), people still beg me for my uber MR1 though. :p

hehe, you'd think this wouldnt happen anymore wouldnt you :)

sad thing is though that just last night i heared a couple of low level pure void specced eldritches (lvl 6-7) going around insulting other casters on purpose, because of how much more "uber" their chosen spec line was when compared to mana or light! i almost died laughing! :D

EDIT: and dont think for a second that I missed the snide remark there either ;p, shame on you! :D

Well grpd in CM and DF a bit recently and on one ocassion had no less than 3 ments asking for a grp in an hour, sure there are a lot of eld/chanters out there but ments are increasingly popular, partly why I went mana 24 to get pot 3, stay ahead of the light crowd, plenty of mana elds(and void)/chanters out there m8 ;)

It's easy to think void is gonna pwn when you are only fightin mobs. I can kill a yellow in 1-2 bolts solo a lot of the time, occasionally need 1dd to finish em. Oranges require a bit more effort and reds aren't impossible. Almost killed a purple siab archmagi once b4 too. But once you get to rvr and encounter the uber nerfage you suddenly realise those uber damage bolts that you've been using and speccing for all your pve life are nothing more than a spell you can use in only the most special of circumstances rvr. 46 spec points for a spell i hadn't used so much i forgot to use it last time i encountered a mage 1v1. :p


Oh, and lol @ lofff's story :D

How about this, I was at the mmg in hib and was shooting casters (love to interrupt em) when I see a bolt flying towards me, equipped both blades and hit f6 "the bolt misses culanan because he is in melee" or something like that, nearly wet meself.
