Thou there are more lvl 50 hibs on excal i guess many are inactive.

Can´t recall last time i saw a "huge" hibzerg.

A lot have quit because NF just really isnt that good if you dont like keep warfare or zerging, i imagine the number will get a bit higher as people filter back over the next few weeks after the initial shock of NF, but it wont ever be the same as pre NF.

 

[Icebreaker]

I just realised that we aren't able to do anything in NF. We are just too few. We got a Force of 70-90 Hibs together. And this took Ages and lots of planning from Mercuria (nice work). And we just got zerged back home. No wonder Hibs are Mass Quiting.

Goas biggest Mistake was to release NF with Patch 1.70. They are and will loose alot of Customers.

Teh Death of RvR atm. And before Albs come here with their funny Comments. You prolly don't want to play just with your own balls in the Frontiers.

 

[Xone]

so right

 

[Divinia]

we're long gone.

 

[Tsukiko]

I rerolled to hard mode, ALBION, and I might cross realm to midgard also, because its so fotm to crossrealm!

 

[vintervargen]

boring with no hibs, innit?

Sound about right. Hib struggles to get 100 people together for keep/tower takes. Pretty depressing when you get about 2 ram hits on the door and 200+ albs steamroller you.
As for gank groups they had largely quit pre-NF anyway, NF coming out just sealed the lid on it for the few remaining.

 

[Kinad]

To be honest i think more hibs in rvr now than for a long time. Sure it aint
the rr11 gank groups, and sure hibs do have a hard time with numbers in
keepbattles, but still lots of stuff to camp, ambush, take and fight over.

I gotta agree.. can't blame albs for population imbalance tho,i didn't know was gonna be like this when i clicked albion.

Flim's active RvR numbers show there's about as many hibs in RvR as pre-NF, but as there's a lot more albs and mids now we seem fewer. Also those hibs that are in RvR now seem to be lower RR than previously.

100% correct there ice m8. Should have been 1.71 from the start

 

[Killrake]

Never thought I had to say this, but I feel soory for the hibs, Honest I do!!

I never attack an hibs nowadays unless he attacks me first...

Naw, dont feel sorry for us hibs. Not your fault mythic patched 1.70 with NF when a brand new mmorpg is on the way entering the market with beta testing going on. To big changes makes people back off and in this case they have a brand new game to go to. Hopefully 50% that left will miss daoc and come back when trying out WoW some time

Yes, the unbalance with population is not funny, this doesnt just affect the underpopulated realm, this affects all 3 realms, some people dont seem to get that. Ofcourse you cant get it 100% even in population, but to big diffrences shows, in this case as so many pointed out, its hard stand a chance against the albs (No, im not saying its albs fault for the population issue, better type that cause some people cant see the diffrence between a discussion and flaming). Lets just hope patch 1.71 will change that..

For myself playing a low RR NS i dont find NF very amusing at the moment. And since i dont have any other level 50 chars i simply stopped playing my NS for a while and started to level my alt. I liked to play in DF by the way, but i guess we hibs wont get DF in a while, or if we do we loose it as fast as we got it.

And if you see a hib in any RvR zone i dont see a reason why not attacking him. People should know if you enter a RvR zone you have a chance to get killed. Even if your a grey con to someone theres a chance you get killed so dont expect other realm players to leave you alone, even tho i think its kinda lame ganking a grey if you can prevent it.

 

[Aussie]

oh does 1.71 make hibs able to take keeps ?

yes its a free RA we all get at rr5 dont you read the patch notes Aussie?

grey cons = spraggons! and montarloo <3

 

[Mithradir]

This sucks for hibs indeed. Maybe it is time at last for mythic to do sth. I dont know if this is possible but it would be good if they gave the possibility to albs or mids to reroll as hibs. Making a similar class with the same RR, equipment etc with the one they already have. From wizard to enchanter or eldritch etc.

I think lots of ppl would think of changing and balancing the realms like that. But i guess this is impossible to happen


One other idea is to lock alb so all the new players can go to midgard or hibernia. But i dont think it will work since the majority of new players will go to WOW.

 

[Danya]

Problem with hib atm is, people started quitting, and that then makes more people quit cos their friends are gone. Soon you end up with a crazy chain reaction which guts the realm.

 

[Jergiot]

goa should offer some guilds lvl 50 chars that are geared with items of choise, if they agree to move entire guild to hib^^

 

[Yaemon]

The problem isn't the realm population. The problem is that NF made sure that a high realm population is the only way to compete.

 

[Knolan]

let all the prydwen hibs reroll excal, do some major PL sessions with current lvl 50 hibs availible and hooppaah, 3 equal realms,(wont ever happen tho)

i hate it, i like to fight hibs 100x more than those stupid trolls
this is the only downside about NF for me.

 

[Glottis]

Lol, what a QQ'ing...
Last night 100 Hibs attacked Beno and Surs.
And yes, got their asses handed back over to them.
But it was still a nice try, and the shrooms of doom need a sound nerfing.
Anyway, enough ways to get some smaller scale fights, which the elite Hib radar gank group (including some crossrealmers as Krane) seem to be able to find non stop (8 vs 1, or max 8 vs 2).

The difference is that getting 100 hibs together takes about 2-3 hours of planning and organisation. On the other hand attack an alb tower and you get 200 albs flooding in from all directions within minutes.

Sorry mate, did not know that raid was "planned".
Did not look like it

[Serathule]

One of mythics big problems they have made in this game is ToA, Toa made lots of ppl quit, not cause RvR got difference but the PvE was a pain. And i dont see why mythic need to do an expansion were u HAVE to PvE to be good in RvR. The Mls, artifacts, scrolls and farming made ppl to quit, and for me i always want to try new chars but with ToA u cant exp a char to 50 and then start to do ToA and after that start RvR its to mutch work tbh.

I would have rerolled hib a long time ago if it wasnt for ToA, and mythic needs to do something about that, so even new players can start to play this game!

And now Glottis, tell us why they got their asses handed back to them.


That's right.... numbers, Alb's brought a bigger zerg... like always.

 

[Cerberos]

The problems in NF is the warmap, in the old frontiers you could count on atleast 50% of the albs would get lost in thier own frontier, but now with insta port and a map to guide the zerklings all is lost.
