Midgard? What's that?..

[Nausilus^^]

There is no activity problem with Midgard.

The only problem with Midgard, is that they are confused as to how big the frontiers are. To aid them with discovering this new and plentiful land, I have drawn them a map.

Now I appreciate that this is only their own frontier, not Albs or Hibs, but its best to start small and work up from there.

The red area represents where the Mids like to hang out. This is known as Bledmeere Faste, and normally has about 5fg random mids running over the bridge every 10 seconds. The green area represents the rest of the frontier.

A lot of mids roam around bled, but HOW ON EARTH DO YOU KNOW THEY DON'T ROAM ANYWHERE ELSE?
Oh I know why, maybe is bled the only place you go...

Tbh, lots of mids go beno, bold, crim and other places in hib lately. Yes a lot of mids camp bled docks/bridge which is incredibely sad because there are so much better places to roam, but you are the only one being confused if you continue to generalize like that. You say that 5fg random mids pass the bridge every 10 secs. That must mean you've been around the bridge quite some time yourself in order to make such an observation. The ONLY reason mids keep going bled are for the following 3 reasons:
a) They need to take a boat
b) They solo or duo, which makes bled the perfect spot because there are so many albs and hibs who keep sailing there
or
c) They're too chickenshit to go anywhere else

Personally it's reason a) for me. I go there to grab a boat, but while I'm at it, I might as well go look for all the hib and alb stealthers who camp there + the usual solo/duo roamers. Quite a large number of hibs and albs are spotted at bled bridge/docks on a regular basis.


Maybe try to think yourself for a change. If you don't want mids to go bled, go somewhere else and stop feeding them rps, because as long as they get rps at bled bridge, that's where they'll be. It's relatively safe, and it's fast to get there.
But don't come here QQ'ing that mids never go further than bled, because that's just one of the stupidest generalizations I've heard today.

allthough i don't agree i must say that it was a funny picture

BO tried to keep playing as we like to do, we find keepfights boring and want to roam as much as possible, and for some time after NF was released it was still just as fun as in OF, but lately it was fewer and fewer good fights a night. Could go whole nights where we didnt have 1 fun fight against a good enemy team and thats when some of us decided to start with WoW. BO is no more in daoc, might be some BO members left that does rvr sometimes but the BO GG aint no more. Its sad but with the status on prydwen rvr who can blaim us?

 

[snarf]

Agree with Aldrick, you can easily run a few hours at prime time without meeting even one (decent or not) fg of albs or hibs!

Hopefully there will be a merge with Excal at least the rvrzones!

ahhh yes because in OF emain what u basically had was a glorified alley way, where everybdoy basically ran the same routes and if people used certain "tools" u would almost always find the enemy, now u have the vastness of NF... u take an animal outta a caged environment and he wont survive cause he cant adapt, even if he has the best tools available

 

[Azathrim]

Noone blames you. But you are quitters that seems not to bother go through a lowdown. There is still FG vs. FG action. The game has changed though, so there is much more than that as well. Learn to adapt.

Oh, and have fun with the PvE grind to 60 in WoW, BO the PvE whores!

From what I hear it doesnt even take half the time of getting lvl 50 in daoc tho, so I guess it wont be a problem.

theres just 2 midgard GG's left that run around practically everywhere:
KN and SC, and both of us were in albion frontier yesterday, and it took AGES (talking about 3hours+) to get some albs out, and what happened when albs came out? they came out in 3fg+
ofcourse it was easy enough to stomp their heads several times by making good coordination with SC, but still, its sad that albs mostly just come en masse instead of having some groups out so guildgroups dont need to take towers...

and yes i am aware of the fact that sc and kn took bold tower 3 together, and some other mixed group came check it out too, so i understand albs came out with zerg, and i liked the fights we had around boldiam yesterday
but my heart lies at fg vs fg fights, like we used to have in the old times
(fyi, we barely went emain, and usually started out by taking keep in snowdonia (cant remember name /blush) in old frontiers so dont give the "theres other rvr zones" treatment)

about mids being overpowered or gimped; i dont feel either way, the few fg vs fg fights we have had in NF showed we were mostly equal (ie. fighting rami & co(me and remembering names...), aod, pe etc)
so imho, lots of hot air from every side here, just make some groups, come out and play, and when u really need a zerg then zerg or so


btw: albs be like hibs, get some fg's out

It's probably the same time, but there is no PL afaik, so no easymode necro/moderna ... and, most of all, when you ding 60 your gaming choices are 1/100 of today games (obviously, as the game is new), so you just do your xping to end in a 'work in progress' that contains two zerg PvE raids and in some near or distant future a zerg/pve version of DAoC NF, plus a limited number of instances. Or you can choose PvP servers, of course, if you like gankfests with 0% or 100% win chances.

Don't expect it to be like the "DAoC you used to love" pre SI / ToA / NF / whatever flavour it was. It's a different game.

Onslaught had a GG out yesterday as well.

 

[Bibi]

its just that when you're used to being 80% overpowered, you'll feel gimped once you become only 40% overpowered

Only dropping from tree and hitting ur head makes ppl talk bulshit like that And if it comes from fotm fealmmember there must be extra strong % retardnes since birth.

PS! Gonna play my OPd skald today again !

skald is far from the best mid class but its quite good ~~

Too bad then that PvP server in WoW aint like camlann :eek2:
So hardly any gankfest there except horde vs alliance and vice versa

ya know i said it before Midgard can learn alot from KN /salute.... btw get Thornar back

 

[Roadie]

Imagine what happened if albs got some of their most powerful tools taken away...

like sos and bof? =o

nah

Didnt play pre SI so cant talk about that, what I want from the game is just something fresh that I havent done before.
Plus what I really miss is UO pre p16

 

[Bloodaxe_Springskalle]

Midgard lacks the means to win large scale keep sieges like NF has become.
class wise (ability wise) albs and hibs come out better, while mids rule the roaming... cant keep relics when all u can do is roaming

 

[Yma]

Plus what I really miss is UO pre p16

/hug
I sooooooooooooooooo agree

Hi 2 u too , RR6 merc talking about skills.

YES CAUSE RR MEANS YOU ARE SKILLED IRL HE HE HE HE HE

newbie. glad I quit this piece of shit server with retarded people of shit

 

[Mordur]

Onslaught had a GG out yesterday as well.

woops, my most sincere apologies, forgot about you guys /blush

 

[Fletcher]

Really miss the old Renaris times

then it was 100+ albs trying to get it back

I keep hearing this, and I honestly dont understand why this should be - and here's why:

in old frontiers, mids would take a keep and defend it, and FARM albs like they were a big herd of sheep atop a luvly welsh hill. whilst outside, we would get constant gtae spam, treb hits, cata hits, ae dots, ae diseases, along with the normal stuff to avoid at keeps (archers nukers bolts etc).

Then if we managed to somehow survive long enough to get the doors down, we would go "YIPPEEE TO THE LORD ROOM M8S!" whilst one or 2 people said "wait dont rush the lord, they have pbae..." then the entire zerg would get wiped by the pbaers.

This would be with albs having 2 or 3 times the numbers attacking that mids had defending.

so what is so drastically changed in NF that has made it all go alb-shaped for mids?
They lack the "tools" that other realms have apparently, which consists of spammable pets from what I have read, doesnt seem a major deal to me as an alb fighting shroomeries, they are just an easy thing to blame when you get pwned in a keep.

So seriously, no flames, no BS, Im just interested to know what has changed from a mid point of view.

See you tard! Dont let the door hit your sorry ass on the way out!

 

[Yma]

There are lots of threads about this. To sum it up:

Midgard opinion: outranged, no fnf pets, too static a game for our strong points to be of some use (instacc, light tanks).
Alb/Hibs opinion: you're just too used to be OP.

But but ... the secret ... we're just farming like mad to prepare our warlocks SC kits, we've no time for petty wars ....

You really think taking a keep and defending it is the same as it was in OF? The porting system lets the alb zerg come kill most ppl even before taking a tower, and on top of that if we finally get a keep you got reaver bombs to deal with the pbae at lord - or am I wrong?

Hehe np, we weren't a full group, so we didn't make a whole lot of noise. Still missing some more members to form a full group, but we do what we can to participate in rvr ;p
