what realm to chose

[Danya]

Get out of epic armour. Get some proper equipment. Learn to play your character and get some rr and the abilities that comes with it.

But Balbor's epic makes him l33t!

getting rr's is a bloody boring time sink not everyone can be bothered with

oh, and it doesn't really matter if you are in epic or sc'ed if you're up against hib casters anyway ... I'm fully sc'ed, every bloody resist/stat/skill caped and when buffed have like 2200'ish hp's and STILL GET BLOODY 3 SHOT/NUKED BY HIB CASTERS (800, 700, 800, dead) ... not exactly my idea of fun

uhum.. I doubt you get nuked for those numbers now that we dont have relics anymore. Standardnuke for me atm is 45x or so on a debuffed target unless the target has shitty resists or something. Ofc, a lightmenta nuking on a debuff with his speccnuke nukes for that damage you mention but you shouldnt really whine about that since bodysorc can debuff for a wiz with full firespecc etc (or some other combo aswell ofc).

Blah Blah, savage can one shot casters with 1500 hp, doesn't mean it happens every fight.

The thing is this - 2 years ago with no RRs this attitude wouldn't be an issue but now, well the game has evolved. If you find getting RR's boring - then you must find rvr boring as the two are one and the same. If that is the case its irrelevent how much other realm casters hit you for as you don't want/can't be bothered to rvr anyway.

I am far from being any good in rvr - I get ganked regularly - hit like a granny and usually die first, but I don't think that makes other classes or realms overpowered. I think it makes me a learning player and someone who needs to work his way thru some rr's and get some gear sorted. Even then with a High RR hib group I am walking rps to them.

It still amazes me that so many seemingly intelligent people refuse to realise that whilst there are casters who will 2-3 shot you (albs and hibs) they aren't the norm and there are plenty who you can slap silly if you get up close and land a nice two hand slap.

Finally on the subject of easymode. Compared to Alb (as someone who has recently levelled to 50 on alb excal before moving mid/pryd) Alb is way easier pve wise. Avalon city is a godsend for most classes in alb. Mid on the otherhand is hell if you lose DF and don't have the luck to be either a healer, shammy or supp Sm - if you have a 50 bb its happy days, if not - well groups are hard to find on occasion and xping in dodens being ganked by 3 lvl 50 hibbies ( YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!) repeatedly can be frustrating.

Back to topic - pick the realm you most like and have friends playing. Daoc isn't half as much fun solo and the more u like a realm the more likely you are to stick it through the 45-49 grind

finaly my time to speec

Well i whant do be in a realm that is easy to learn the maps/towns etc. and i also whant a plase where it is easy to get groups to exp as wel as in rvr.
i dont like rvr when im in a group where all of the ppls are yelling about how owerpowerd some ppls are...

i like mid on prydwen becouse its alot of nice ppls there...and that is what i think is the moust importen thing.

what i was wondering by this thread was what realm to chose on exc. what realm on that server is a good one, in friendley, groups, easy to get exp, and basicly a nice ppl envierment. not the way it is in pve or rvr... that i can handle..i do know what the difrend realm/classes are good for. but i dont know what the ppls that play the chars are good for.


thanks alot.

and please stop whit that silly argument about owerpowerd chars and stuf like that...its just a game and games are not perfect and they will newer be. but they are frying to get is bether all the time, but it cant be perfect.

You are forgetting that a lot of the RA's are useful in all aspects of the game, not just RvR. Furthermore being level 51 and getting the full 102 AF / 16.5 dps is quite important. If it wasn't so completely required to be effective in just about every aspect (apart from crafting) then I'm sure less people would RvR. As it is most are simply grinding out RR5.

 

[Afuldan]

Albion to join the zergs, mids and hibs for the skills...

God Bless you, Theseus.

 

[Afuldan]

Oh, and, Chrystina... what realm are you from? If it's albion...bite me. Live with it, and if you don't like it spend 5 minutes and pull together a good number of the faceless mass hailing from your realm and zerg those hib casters.

Zerg more plz.

If it's mid, then thank you're lucky f**kin' stars for what you have, and live with a death every once in a while. Mids, in my opinion, get the coolest tanks out there, NONE of them are gimp. NONE. No matter what you do, you need only spec one weapon type, which saves an assload of hassle. Savs have been nerfed countless times and I still see them take down three or four hib tanks by themselves. And if nothing else, your realm LOOKS the coolest. I would KILL to be a TROLL WARDEN. Your morph tank gets to be a BEAR, I'm stuck lookin like f**kin Bambi over here. Your armors are freakin' TIGHT, and your weapons (especially those toa swords) are just ungodly cool.

Please do not hate on hib's casters, because if they manage to three-shot you, it's because they somehow avoided the massive Alb zerg, complete with retardedly overpowered classes, AND by some miraculous chance got the jump on you before you saw them. Casters are all my realm has, and any one of them who hit you only got to three-shot you because they worked hard as HELL to get where they are.

I really don't think 2AF and .3 dps is much of a deal.

 

[Aremeriel]

LOL Blue.. Seems your thread is being hijacked with realm discussion in another sense than what you asked..

Stay with us. It's a lot better..:

 

[Chimaira]

Get out of epic armour. Get some proper equipment. Learn to play your character and get some rr and the abilities that comes with it.

There are are albs that knows how to play their chars well. Some of them are solo, some run in grps. They are very well capable of doing just as good as mids or hibs, so drop that bs if you please. The times i have been in grps that wipe out 3 times our own force, we have been fighting mostly people in epic and that run solo and/or unbuffed. Meaning, people that stands for the entire mezz/root/stun duration and that goes down in 2-3 nukes. Most of the times those were vs albs, at amg for some reason

this cow can blow bubbles through its nose

How come high rr rvr players with maximum resists dies in 3 nukes to then?

hehe yea it seams so... but let them get it of the chest. and then maby il get a good awnser

yep, probably makes who ever has it now l33t as well seeing as i cave mine away last year

Couldn't agree more gid - forgot to mention that

Aug Dex and Mob1 even makes a warrior block like a demon - add even the lowliest buffs to that and you can take amazing aggro. MCL is a must for anyone trying to xp a caster class imo

I can understand people just enjoying pve - its not for me but I can understand why others like it. Personally I agree with alot of people in that TOA has knackered the balance. I think its good that more classes are viable in rvr now, I just hope we get the balance back a little.

back on topic - I have found all realms (so far) equally friendly - I would go with hib meself as I prefer hib classes

LOL... Can always hope, eh?
Maybe you should post the same post under Excalibur/General Discussion, might get some good answers then.. Just an idea... Oh.. And don't forget to check guild forum

 

[Balbor]

um you just contridicted yourself Leleith. how can a solo person be 3 times your own force?

oh, I'm not whining as i really don't care about rvr unless i really HAVE to ... or did I say "omfg, i got wtfpwnd, nerf them casters!"? no, I didn't. I just said that it doesn't matter if you're in epic or fully sc'ed, casters can kick ya bumm whenever they feel like it

exactly! rvr is pants! if you don't have a set giuld rvr group you spent hours just setting up a group (if you try to balance it), then run around, get your bumm kicked by other realms high rr rvr uild groups, after the 2nd time this happens ppl start to leave grp and you have to reform it, blablabla...
what a waste of time ... rather spend that time on some pve raid where i can get at least some nice items for myself and my alts ... that's more rewarding than sitting at apk for hours and waiting for the hib caster groups to log :wub:

 

[Driwen]

um you just contridicted yourself Leleith. how can a solo person be 3 times your own force?

3 people not grouped run into you, you are solo so they are 3 times your own force.
4 groups of 5 people run around and bump into your fg (not all at the same time, but close enough to eachother so you dont have time to rest).

Or he just meant solo fg.

edit: crystina NF is supposed to be better, so might be worth checking RvR out by then (allthough I guess its still months away).

 

[Chrystina]

aye, I'm actually looking forward to it as it looks like fun ... and me putting rvr and fun in one sentence means something

 

[Leleith]

um you just contridicted yourself Leleith. how can a solo person be 3 times your own force?

There are mixes of random morons standing at one place together. Like the headless chickens they are. More often than not at amg.
What i mean is that they are still more than us, even if they arent all in balanced and mixed groups. Some part of the swarm are likely to form a full grp, while others just join in the camp session that albs tend to have at milegates. Leading to loads of ppl in one place at one time. Grouped, solo, duo... etc

3 people not grouped run into you, you are solo so they are 3 times your own force.

Aye, kinda

 

[Auriel]

I would say... make up in your mind the kind of character you want to play, find the race / class that embodies that idea the most, and the realm that race / class belongs to is the one you play

 

[Afuldan]

If NF isnt already out in europe where I'm assuming you guys are, from what I am hearing it's making things worse...with all the bugs and whatnot.

But then again this could just be people whining /shrug
