The things i hate about midgard...

[KodFace]

Here goes...


1) Thanes... where do i start hmm. Ahh yes the people with the Ae hammer (ownage) . Its shit... dont use it

I would say 95% of thanes end up breaking mez or aggro'ing other mobs in the area with a spell that does hardly any damage.



2) I WANT.. MINE IS GREY!11!1, MY ALT WILL HAVE IT!!1

enough said..



3) Players leaving groups without saying a word to join another group is kinda lame.. a 'sorry xp is bad, i'm off to another group' would do.


4) People leaving the group as soon as the ding ... 'Oh damn guys! gotta go, cya!'


I cant be arsed to go on.. soo many more reasons

 

[Jimli]

Point 2,3 and 4 wont be different on another realm. Try to get guildparties together or solo.

Point 1 see above

 

[SilverHood]

come to Midgard prydwen..... we're a responsible lot, and there's enough items going round so that world + dog doesn't need the drop that you just got

 

[Zill]

1/ On most occasions, higher levels Thane classes will only cast area effect spells when they are certain it is ok to do so (most commonly for pvp especially at keep sieging where Thanes excel in my opinion).

Experienced players will understand that casting AOE spells in situations that could cause death to group members is not in their or their group's best interests. Novice players may not grasp the importance of this, so it maybe worth politely pointing them in the right direction so they don't repeat their actions.

To be fair this problem will occur in any of the realms and on the other servers. It was certainly common in Everquest where I lost count of the times I ended faced down due to someone hitting a mez'd mob and causing the group to die.

Hopefully the new graphics signifying mez'd mobs will decrease the amount of times classes cast AOE and break mez.

2/ All items that drop should be devided equally among group members who require the item. Kick anyone who insists they should have a dropped item for their alt.

3/ This again is a common occurance, and there's no point in getting stressed over it. Simply do your best to find a replacement.

4/ See 3

 

[Shaki/Aeis]

To number 4: Well it might be evening and they plan to go to bed... then notice oh 0.5 to lvl. They stay up a bit extra and get tired. Do you expect them to stay even longer?

 

[old.amoeba]

For gods sake - do you really think some realms attract less twats than others?

So the game has alot of twats - live with it and kill the albion ones!

 

[old.The McScrooges]

I total agree with points 2,3 and 4.

And even with 1 if its slightly amended. But then coming from Albion we don't have Thanes.

But my Midgard whine is over healers.

5. Don't tell me how to play my character when you don't have a healer alt yourself. And if we're such a rare character why do we get treated like poop?

Abusive and ignorant requests really motivate me

<sigh>

Sorry healer rant over.

 

[Karl [DAOC]]

Stop moaning...

Midgard has a lot going for it...

As does albion... and i wouldnt know about hibby...

 

[soullessminion]

My favorite 1 is as a cave shamy grps often yell "FFS DONT DOT IT JUST CURE" umm all i can ever reply is oyy dumb git hammer tank that mobs susept to swords stop useing your full spec hammer


Ohhh and almost laughed my Kobi nuts off when sat in gna, little dwarf says "Hey Lifeless you only buffbot in Gna" are shamy players really that rare or are 99% realy buffbots? Needless to say me troll mate Miq had a bloody good laugh at me for geting called a bot

 

[akula]

lol, gotta admit i do see more buffbots as shamans

i'm specced cave mend and do alright in groups, prolly not enough buffs as ppl like, but hey, i normally end up healing while healer does pac stuff, as it's more worth

2) Yeh get this I had a hunter at level 39 in a Trow group in Spind and the Twilight Doombringer dropped the thane in the group got it. When asked if he needed it I got told his level 14 hunter alt would love this item. You are going to get idiots in all realms ( I use idiots and not twats as these are useful ) I am afraid. Just got to grin and bear it.

 

[splash0r]

lol @ lifeless arent you a buffbot ?

 

[poppamies]

hehe.
i love thane ae spells...
gets me killed every time in rvr =)
its so funny to take a horse ride every 5 mins...
so thanks to all thanes who break my mezz, lov u all...
and hope to cu soon again.
cure mezz spell, why we got thane =)

 

[Spix]

hmm Sure maybe thanes break mezz more then other does, but it is just a strategic misscalculation.

What if thanes would be able to use our gift of Mjolnir before the healers start to mezz?. It is our only ranged spell that is not on timer, and saying it does no damage is pure bull.
a lvl 50 thane can do 150-200+ damage / cast on more than one player at a time with mjolnir and if 10 thanes does it on same crowd a few times and add a few runemasters ae nuke ...
compared to about 50-100 damage/ swing on one target with a one hand hammer/axe/sword ,, just do the math , no mezz gank one at a time can beat that.
Also add some healers who cast stun on the enemy and they are totaly wasted (maybe)
When the crowd is close enough for melee, tanks charge and healers can cast their mezz / stun to disable those who are not getting ganked.
It worked against mobs at lair far higher level then any alb zerg so mjolnir do damage...
Sure im aware of first mezz win strategic but its just because all people stand in a small area instead of spread out more...
So dont call thanes useless, its more of knowing where and when to use the different characters abilities.

And no I am not against using mezz ganking it works fine sometimes, but if you get killed over and over because it doesnt work, try figure another tactic.
Hope it will be better now when the mezzed have a Zzzz above the head, but if you like most people use /effects self , none it wont show.
Myself do not use mjolnir that much, because I cannot kill people with it alone, but if we could gather ae ppl and use it in larger wars it would be great.

Why not try it a few days, healers for example can do macros with:
/y go a head thanes/runemasters AE nuke till your out of Pow.
and /y Stop AE !!!, Mezzing in 5 seks no rezz if you break

Sure it will take some practice and some breaks and deaths but after a while I think most will get the tactic.
Mid have alot of thanes, more then enough to pull of a great AE war,
As long as we cant use our properties, a whole specc line is wasted.

just a thought


Jonas/Spix
If I want to melee I would roll a warrior/zerker

 

[poppamies]

or why not thanes wait for 40 sec before using mjölner ?
after 40 sec helers start ae stunning, and the tanks have killed off a few messed albs/hibs.
then kill em off with mjölner.
sounds better to me that way.
coz if we healers dont mezz em directly they will se us comming and spread out (means we only get 2-3 ppl in one ae mezz) thats why we mezz first stunn later.

 

[big-j]

Hmmm i'm afraid if you had a big ol' bunch of thanes AEing before mezz, us healers are gonna get the scary message "The target is enraged.... You will die now"

Sure may work as well or better,
Just have to have someone to inform thanes and runemasters when it is ok to use it and not.

But my idea with the mjolnir and runemaster nukes is to soften up the enemies and kill off as many as possible so even lower level warriors and zerkers can bang enemies senceless easier and without getting too much healthloss or die.

I dont like the idea with never use AE damage spells, it is a resorce that is supposed to be used on many people and as we all know, albs are many

Just bring alot of AE capable classes to malmo or some other mob crowded place and try it out, so any doubting players can see that it is not that weak damage dealt since the speed you kill any pull (10+ drakulvs) is so fast you even have problem getting your mjolnir off more than once before they are dead.
US servers usualy practice this style at lair.

USpull?

 

[poppamies]

well the problem with mezzing after aes are that they are not in 1 grp anymore.
when they see uss comming they split up to avoid ae mezz.
so mezz first and then stunn (i have been doing that always) and i did make a macro that tells the ae dmg dealers to go for it =)
all healers should make one macro witch they use when they start ae stunning (ok thanes runies use hammers and spears now !!!) =)
well lets see how it works, and hope for the best =)

 

[Cowled]

What are u whining about?

U should try rvr in alb, when 5/6 population is aoe-smite-clerics.
