Where are u hibs ?

shrooms already got nerfed glottis, they have 60% less hp now... two aenukes and they're all gone

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!

It's not just ToA that caused problems. For a game that is supposedly centred upon the concept of Realm vs Realm warfare anything that prevents a player from being competitive in the endgame (bar not having a keyboard/mouse/screen/cpu/isp/copy of the game) is fundamentally detrimental.

Mythic are addressing this in Catacombs with PvE only items etc, but the damage has been largely done. The task facing a new char of not just getting 50, but then getting competitive i.e. ToA, RR5, spellcrafting, alchemy etc is so daunting that many won't bother.

Think back to the period in 2002 just before DF and Epic armour. To me DaoC was an incredible game then. Getting 50 was hard, but rewarding. Rps gave status but nothing else. All the game needed at that point was a 50% reduction in all RvR damage and some tweaking of the CC element.

A new level 50 was only inferior to a higher RR player in terms of RvR experience. Everyone could compete. Yes, there were issues, but nowhere near as many as today.

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.

aye

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.

That statement is so True lol Albs couldn't even get a FG of albs running around they own Frontier without them all being on /stick or /follow probably with ldr of the group looking at a downloaded map of where Erasleigh was shoulda taken away /faceloc for them as well hee hee. :kissit:

In RL I don't really know places that I don't need to go to all that well.

That most Albs didn't know their own frontier was down to the total lack of Hibs/Mids. Had the enemy gone there then Albs would have followed.

Maybe you do not know, but as a realm takes more relics, their realm map updates more slowly. So while it might be nice and allowing Albs to travel around without getting lost, it does not help so much with defense when you have 5 relics like Albion does.

The Flame for 1 statement keep it up "locusts" Albs may never have gone there I know as A HIB we tried to get you to go there by Taking Beno etc.

Gee sense of humour failure some you Albs have.

We tried for a keep you outzerg us you go 4 Mids Relic you Outzerg them so like Locusts you are in the End you will just leave the battle field barren with you Tactics which in end as we have seen peeps get pissed off and all that is left is you Locusts roaming around for a soloer to feed on.

Ok you got 5 Relics but if you locusts dont stop feeding on the lower numbers all it does in the end is Spoil whole purpose of the game for all including youselves (Flame On)

twistings grps went hw each day for a week or so... usually took a keep to lure the albs out, didn't work too well 8( once we took 2 keeps with 1 fg, no one attacked us really (1 fg albs if i remember correctly) so atleast we gave you abit of a chance at last...

remove the anti radar thing and the server will soon be balanced again!

I went HW alot, out of personal choice, but alot didn't for many reasons.

You could spend 15 mins running to HW only to be flattened by High RR opted grp (same excuse alot of Hibs pull re old emain)

More likely you could spend 15 mins running to HW only to find the 2 Albs already there had killed the 1 skald running around the zone.

Or you could spend 15 mins running up there only to find Beno had disapeared behind a covering of mushrooms and suiciding on mpk was vastly more entertaining.

Like I said we Tried to get you Locusts to play in you own backyard but you didn't wanna play."

NF is here Wooooo look Xswords get all whole Locusts there to feed on

NF Suits you Locusts more than other 2 Realms hoping 1.71 will hopefully suit all.

Many more

Let me spell it out in very simple terms.

Run for 15 mins to find that the enemy that were there 20 mins ago have long since been killed/suicided/left = frustration and boredom.

Insta-port to find the enemy that were there 2 mins ago have been killed/suicided/left = insta-port elsewhere.

NF equals action without the boring bits. And even if you die alot it isn't as bad as having to spend 10-15 mins downtime every time you die.

 

[Soulja_IA_]

So Now the NF Realm map gives you Locusts more time to Gather together and Zerg in Larger numbers than you used to do before uke:

Typical Answer from a Locust that couldnt be asked to take our own keeps back because instant port wasn't available.

So if Mythic took away the instant port that in you Statement said "Couldn't be bothered" so in theory will take away you Locusts Gathering up you Locust Army and Zerging the place.NICE Can't see Mythic doing that.

I can tell from your posts that you aren't exactly blessed with the greatest observational skills, but perhaps you would like to remember the names of the Albs who always went out to retake our keeps, successful or not. Not too difficult, as it was virtually the same names everytime.

But alas, I couldn't be online 24/7...and even took a break from the game to attain CCIE. But when I was online, and one of our keeps was down, I could guarantee the retake force would all be familiar names.

And you Good Sir are not blessed with a Brain that God gave to you,the whole purpose of the Post is that you Locusts now find it Easier to gather you Locusts than you used to before.My Observational skills as you put it are all there to Observe what I see now to what I saw then.

1.You couldnt be bothered in OF
2.Porting now is Easier for you Locusts to Gather.
3.Now a keep shows a you dont see 1 FG turn up you see 3-4fg turn up.
4.Reroll Hib/Mid and we see what you Responses will be from other side of the Fence.
5.Once you got all 6 Relics it gonna be Dam Boring being A Locust be bugger all to kill.

Will be fun with all 6 relics tbh. More Hib/Mid cry babies might leave and we can repopulate with adults.

aww, thanks :wub:

Yeah, cos Albs are more mature and don't come to forums crying. Hell, just take a look at Glottis and think what you just said.

And how do you think a game as old as DAoC can be repopulated at this point?

Soulja_IA uses Dispel Locust Storm....................Soulja_IA Kills 120 albs summin like that ya mean?

Something like that m8 but I said 1/2 that RA only kills a 1/4 ?

i think if killed 1/2 would be called overpowered

 

[Krane]

Its hard to rvr as a hib atm indeed..

You kill a fg of anything...than another one..than another..and another....than you run out of mana and they just keep coming..

With the new porting and map system its very hard to get away to a safe rest spot quick enuff after a fight.

Besides every random warder bolts you for 2 x 600 and every random scout hits you for 900..and there is a lot of them everywhere.

But i see there is quite a few ppl still trying to play including VGN with a mix of old/new members, keep it up hibbers imo...it ll get better =).

Oh and Glottis...as popov uses to say...smb, retard. You are just a jelous kid, not even worth a serious reply.
