Tonite the 8 man alb rolled us over a few times. They getting better and better every day. At the end we had to switch to 3 healer setup to beat them and still was very hard.
Valfer is right, you have to improve your way of playing and stop QQing on how powerfull mid is.

Ok, so you're saying is not a question of relics that unbalance the game but of players skills? I agree!!!

Actually, to get that super magical superweapon you need to have some RR first, but instead of saving points until RR2, most clerics invest in MCL first, and such stuff. So it takes even longer. And for random players, that do not do RVR as main point of interest, BOF is actually a rather useless RA. I think most of the clerics RR2+ in Albion don't have BOF, except they plan to be playing actively in RVR.

So, maybe stop talking about things that are actually not really there.

Now take a look at the cleric list in the herald, sort by last week RP and look at the overall RP gained and the RR these clerics have, that had been active recently.

Now, do something even more funny: Take a look at the Paladins, and their LW RP. Now you got these superior Albion tank groups, that run on endupots?

Sure, there have been the multiple use pots introduced, but again, lots of these pugs don't really run around prepared. People always look at me strangely when I decide to play in a group, mostly for PVE right now, since the chars I want to play have not even reached lvl 45 yet, and when no sorc or minst is around, I give away some power regen pots, as a full tank without any power at all. 'Why do you carry these around?' ...


Most of these 'Zergs' Romu is running around with, are chars lvl 40 - 50. You may see 2-3 groups, but basically it's only one group.


But well, it's getting better over time, maybe.

1\ Romu knows the skills of his Zerg so options are limited. If you guys want to fight (and win to get RP) build reasonable groups instead of your low level twinks first.
2\ Anyone who needs instructions in zergfight can join his Teamspeak. (Romu is friendly and speak english very well).
3\ About lost relics and Romu DragonRaid. Romu isn't our realm daddy. Anyone can open a RvR BG too.

4. Cleric lvl 44
5. Theurg
6. Cabba
7. something ... Infi ?
8. empty

So 1. no speed, 2. no cc, 3. no sos, 4. no bunker, 5. no heals, 6. no demezz and probably everyone except Romu was RR 2l8 - 3l4. No assist lead, no movement tactics (kite, attack, push or something) low-level twinks that run around like chicken ....

The advice... "Build proper groups" .... in theory true but - try that, all proper RvR players left the server/joined mid, and what is left are casual players that twink their 10th character ... all 2l9. We beg people to come to rvr ... but they are all frustrated, because no one told them how to play - nor are they interested - and they lost too many times in the past in rvr.

In the end you have low rr RvR tourist groups like this, that stand no chance ...

..there is a reason why all serious rvr groups left the server ... they could not find backup for their group in their timezone ...in case one does not show up.

Albion vs X... is like a boxing fight between a 12-year-old against a full-grown pro.

thats not in every part true, there are many players out in albion who are capable and eager to learn their character. Many decent players are in black ghost, Knight who say Ni, Northwind, etc.... you just have to find and get to know them.

The other part is also not true. First person to join and last to leave was minstrel with RR5l7. I had a Sorc with RR5l5 nearly the whole evening in my group. I had 2 Clerics in my group, one level 47 and one level 50, both with bunker. I had a Infi and a friar in my group at the very end, last run before we disbanded. That was around 1 am, so at this time there are for sure no perfect groups.
