NF will it ruin or bring life to the game?

NF Looks like it will definitely change the game. I have been playing on it for about 2 weeks, and ALL they do is siege warfare. Seemed like the best rvr to get was hitting people from behind while they attacked towers/keeps. I couldnt find any groups that were just roaming around loking for fights, and even then, the area they could be in is so big.

I think fg vs fg will be dead. The only people who will go for fg vs fg will be the good guilds. So that means less fgs to fight and that makes them harder to find, if there are any online. The other fgs we find nowadays to fight aganist will most likely run with the zerg of keep taking, since they can gain rps that way, and dont have to go and be rp cows in emain anymore. I hung around one nite defending a keep and made 5k in about 2 hours on a SOLO BARD. All from rezzings and the rps you get just for being there defending the keep and a few leeching shouts. Imagine if i had a dmg dealer there.


NF will change the game, I guess its up to the player base to preserve our way of rvr if we want. The siege stuff is absolutely wonderfully deisnged imo, but the death of small battles, i donno if it was worth it...

I hate to break it to you, but the only fg v fg u see are the good guilds atm too. Even easymode hibbies are zerging nowadays

Maybe we could make an agreement to behave after NF but I doubt it could handle prime time rr either way...

RRs will be different - it's all about attrition and taking keeps, less about the "big relic keep fight" in theory...

that and it's that much harder to get it home...

What do you mean "nowadays"? Hibs have been zerging since forever.

Seems the tank class in nf is totally fucked going by the responses on VN, atleast i have a soon to be "fotm nf rocks" archer class ready and waiting. Givf huge range, passive spec volley and 10,000 arrows..........

if everyone sits around outside a keep hiding in the zerg (or inside a keep hiding in the zerg) then yes tanks are useless other than running siege...

but there are other things to do in NF

Keep fights where people actually turn up are fun so NF will rock

NF will only be fun for the biggest realm (ie albs on 100% of the servers). Or do you think it's fun for a 20% population realm to blink up on the realm war map and get insta 72647821687 alb adds?

As for the gank groups: they will do what it takes to win. I have no doubt 2 high RR caster groups or even 3-4 if fighting against albion can still be viable.

ToA has ruined the game enough already - can't get any wore in NF so I hope for the best.

1 group is enough if you follow common sense - i.e. as in old frontiers its dangerous to pull apk, same goes for pulling albs in immediate vicinity of their keeps.
And hibs can have strong fun with shrooms =D

( 3.5 fg albs on keeptake route vs. fg hibs)

PS. On merlin we got doubleteamed on first weekend, was very difficult to regain all keeps, keep relics etc. It kinda taught a lesson - any keeptake attempt in hib gets immediate response from all hibs now - so people dont bother with us - all action for the past two weeks was either in mid or alb.

why do people keep saying all the time that alb will have a massive population advantage? If you played alb you'd know that in the last few weeks/months we lost a LOT of active rvr players/rvr guilds, some you'll have heard of, some u won't - but active rvr players nonetheless.
Ok, maybe Albion will always be more overpopulated than Midgard or Hibernia (its consistent on every server) but I think on Excal the difference (especially between Albion/Midgard) really isn't that great anymore and since the flood of people leaving Alb still seems to keep going, its probably gonna get even smaller.
