I'll give Drastic credit for at least remaining dedicated to his play style but let's not sit here and pretend he was anything special. He was simply the minstrel that hung around longer than the others. Anyone who followed Uth 2's development knew speed classes were going to be the kings of the solo scene. Options to deal with minstrels are severly limited under a strict 1.65 setting and he knew that... that's why he chose to be one. If you poison your weapons, run with a pet, have superior crowd control abilities, can deal instant damage and have superior running speed, there isn't going to be much in the way to stop you here.

Minstrels weren't a problem on Uth 1... New RAs helped a lot with that, on top of the myriad of other ways to counter them, no poisoning weapons and swapping them to other characters, everyone had a personal mount making the hunt that much more tedious compared to now. Even Redmax (rr12 minstrel from Uth 1) lost a good number of fights while keeping a red con pet with him. The options kept a more or less even playing-field where people felt comfortable enough to participate.

its still not real ... i ll get another night with nightmares...
after .. 1 day fighting about 8 hour s .. still realise , that midgard has god mode .. ty for that .. soon server will be dead , your efforts reviving Server should start on flump and his realm
nevertheless i had a lot of fun today

well you bring a uncoordinated zerg everytime. it's like shooting fish in a barrel most of the time. you should start teaching your realm mates how to play proper instead of crying. nevertheless, fun was on the other side too

stop crying... I can't hear it anymore

you want to take empty keeps without any Inc. and you think when you inc with 40 ppl we will come with one grp
same with the albs yesterday.
omg, there is no rvr without enemies
and you are crying about everything! midgard destroy rvr when we build up a counter zerg, we destroy rvr when we are run with our 1 grp with "high rr", we destroy rvr when we are run in duo in the afternoon (kiss holsten)
you have to blame your realm mates who leave the server! midgard was still running rvr. we were running through empty fz for days. but we still stay on uth!
and stop crying about wipe! when my grp starts with rvr we were died at kiico,schmurda,maxyma,gwyneth etc 20 times in a row. but we never give up,came back, try to be better and LEARN TO PLAY OUR CHARS. thats not possible when you are run with the zerg every day,raid empty keeps, are afraid for inc and port to another fz when you had inc
to get a rr is hard work. and yeah, i have a job and my grp run only 2 hr every evening. but i get my rr8..

but crying about the "badass realm" is so easy. im tired about that...

we were in rvr the whole day , had several fights .. not empty keeps .. so what ? go play hibernia and you know, what we are talking about

i didn't 'follow' uth 2's development and make a minstrel based on that reason. prior to uth 2 launch, i didn't even know daoc was still alive and haven't played/touched it since 2002. i started on uth 2 because i saw Riyu one day streaming on twitch so i was interested to play again. i made a minstrel because back on live in 2001-2002, i remember playing on my nightshade and seeing minstrel/smite clerics being cool back then plus i wanted to try a new realm as i never played alb/mid at this point.

what i learned on alb uth 2 though, is that it was a grind to get any rps...especially if u were a solo minstrel. so, i take pride in the rank i achieved on this server as many others were not able to do what i was able to do. call it what you want, but i am the highest rank soloer on this server and have the most high solo kills. i'll take what u said about me as a compliment, so thanks~

we did not lead that day.
we just followed the leader.

Don't take it the wrong way. Not saying getting those solo kills isn't a challenge... Just, given the circumstances that are Uth 2 it's easier to get them on a minstrel via their capabilities than it is any other class. You have every right to be proud of your high solo kills, the same way I take pride in mine on a Druid even if I only managed to get 500 of them.. and again no offense meant but I did see you more frequently than any other minstrel out there I don't think it would be illogical to assume that played a role in your success.

Imagine how cool that solo kill title would have been on a smitecleric though

first off... no one is talking about an "badass realm" the correct term is "easymode realm"... so pls get your stuff straight. second... you just dont get it and thats ok but to correct you again, your grp isnt the "highrr grp" its "reallydirty+flump+add the ones that can play their class well". *justmoretrashtalktogetsomeonesattention*

It would be fun atleast if your grp was solo anywhere to fight, but never seen you out solo the last weeks and we tried to get an 8man fight, just not against flumpgrp.

We weren't running away from you. We just didnt have the intention to fight you again after we lost twice. Who are you to tell ppl how to play as long as your only intention is to get rps and not to get fights.

Back when Smite Cleric was awesome, on live, there were not even titles yet, or kill stats, or RAs itself or even immunities for CC (that's why any CC-class back then was AWESOME! (except healer)). It all came after Smite Clerics were cruzified, killed and buried deep below Stonehenge Burrows.

If you would take the Smite Cleric from back then, with the damage delves on the spells and low recasts on the pb-aoe spells, and use it today, you would not have the same experience as back then. Actual resists, CC-immunities and RAs would counter that pretty well.

@thuramon

we start with our grp every evening as 8. when other realms zerging we merge with flumps grp.and we are not an adder grp when im the leader. so pls get your stuff straight..
and i dont say that our grp is an high rr grp. other ppl are crying about us that we destroy rvr with our "high rr" grp.


i dont say how other ppl have to play. but im tired about all this whine posts in the forum. we need month to learn to play as a grp and against the good grps but we never gave up. but ofc... its easier to give up and start crying about "easy mode realm".

im playing this game for fun and to relax. i hate those drama the last month...thats all

In a time when there is little population - a realm that has it easier (to build groups, to kill in RvR without much thought/skill), will dominate. Stop reading the forums if the truth is too hard for you to read or if this upsets you.

So go back to playing the game, and relaxing as you watch your zerkers + savages 2 shot everything, I'm sure then you will be free of tension and stress. The only voices you should be hearing are the delight of your group mates mincing up the enemy. Then no more drama for your fragile state.

I can understand the depression coming from Midgard players, but it's not because of Albion or Hibernia players, it's because of the color scheme of Midgard. All these grey white brown and dark dead colors, without really any living colors, that takes it's toll on the psyche of players.

You may probably now laugh at me, and say: "Haha, bullcrap!" ... but colors are important, as is sunlight, and I assume some of you don't have enough of both.
