DAOC: Uthgard Revamp

[Nihilist_santa]

Count me out on Hib but I will roll Midgard. Ill probably make either Runemaster or Shadowblade undecided til I do some more research. Sorry but hib has worst char models to me plus I hate the realm in general.

Scrooge I'll probably be playing either Eldritch or a Hero / BM for RvR. I might make a Warden after a while though :P

Someone definitely should be a Warden, especially if we end up with a melee heavy group. Those Damage Add chants, PBT, and heals will help a shitload, not to mention its a flexible class. Every time I played Hib, we always had a Warden, and it helped tremendously in PvE and PvP both, it's a very underrated class imo.

No its people who want to only have to fight 8v8s because they've been playing together long enough to know they will basically win with even numbers every time.

When players stop being "allowed" (seriously, half the population will black list you or some stupid shit) to run "zergs" (anything more than 8), they lose this advantage. Then its a field of a few perfect comps, so you can't go out and rvr with anything less than a perfect setup so people sit around until they can form said perfect comp.

Then it becomes impossible for pick up groups to win, people stop logging in... aaaaand daoc emu.

I know exactly what you're talking about, I've been involved with Uthgard since almost the very beginning, and I've seen this kind of narrow-minded "politics" especially in Midgard.

Midgard has always been my "home realm," and I've enjoyed playing it on LIVE at the very beginning, on other freeshards, and then on Uthgard - when my old guildies were actually around to play it with me, but it's very hard to start anything from scratch when you have a bunch of narrow-minded Euros who never think or play outside the box, never! If you try to suggest something out of the ordinary, you better have your own people who will be ready to back you up, because you'll get no reinforcement from the randoms.

Another thing I didn't like about my experience on Midgard, was that most ppl just give up too damn easy, all it takes is one wipe (maybe two at most,) and half the group will rage-quit on you while the rest disband, before you can even realize WTF is going on. This doesn't just happen in the BGs, this happens even more so at L50 in the main frontiers.

Hibernia used to be my most hated realm (for years,) but after actually going through Midgard all the way, I decided to give it a try - and I'm really glad that I did. I've had a very good experience starting from scratch, ppl were much friendlier and pickup groups didn't fall apart as easily as in Mid, especially in pvp, I've made quite a good number of friends, unfortunately I can't say the same about Midgard.

What class did you have in mind? I'll finish the class descriptions sometime tonight.

Maybe you should give it a try before you make a decision, you might find it more interesting once you check out their classes.

Or, make a post specifically for Midgard, and make a list of names in this thread who'd want to start out together - like i'm currently doing for Hibernia.

Maybe you should try the Warden class then, it kind of similar to Skalds, in that they receive group chants, except Skalds get much better speed, but Wardens get defensive-spells not to mention Heals and Rezzes. I've finished the class descriptions on page 9 of this thread, have a look, maybe you'll see something you like.

My main in Midgard was a skald also, I enjoyed playing it alot, but unfortunately the cons outweigh the pros when it comes to playing Midgard on that server, or atleast they did when I played.

I agree with you, I absolutely love the Warden class. But others don't seem to agree with me, and therefore it makes it hard to get into any RvR group that isn't with my friends. You know how the typical euro mindset is, locked into one style of gameplay, like you mentioned somewhere earlier.
