The status of Genesis is not very promising. I'm slightly losing more and more faith in the game masters of this server. I don't think they're much better than the Uthgard game masters.
Genesis have been a fun ride so far no doubts about that it was nice with a new server that just brought some of the old memories back, just in a more buggy way
I not sure how the future on Genesis will be when Uthgard release, Uthgard is so far in front and Genesis are still missing some of the most important basics (Server cap + Freezes + Lags), and I don't think these basics will be done in the near future or at least not before Uthgard is around the corner. I did hope that Genesis would come out of the corner first but they seem to pulling more to the wrong side.
One of the big bugs that are pretty essential for rvr is the 3 "ticks" pr. spell. This won't be fixed in the near future, and it's just annoying that every bloody tank is abusing it, guess 99% of the tanks are . It's not something that will get done in the near future and that sure is a game breaking feature.
The post Cody made about Uthgard where he asked people to go and help Uthgard, and later said that Genesis was suffering from the player base of two servers, just made me shit my pants. That was one of the worst statements I ever had heard from a game master. The game masters are way too friendly on this server, they could learn some attitude from Blue, but not too much.
That post made me look way different on Genesis. That post looked like they just wanted to cut the servers as soon as Uthgard when active. A game master from a competitive server should never ask people to go and help one of their "enemies". There was more stupid post from Cody in the thread, which just gave me less faith in Genesis.
It was good that origins released so it made the Uthgard game masters wake up from their big black hole. But as I've said before, I don't think the Genesis staffs are any better than the Uthgard. They're friendly and helpful, but they really lack of some sort of attitude and coding skills.
I have heard that a lot of good American coders have been asking to help them out but they turned them down duo to the language barriers. If that's true it's just even more sad, because then they already flagged with the white flag from the beginning.
I don't feel like losing anything returning to Uthgard. It was fun with a change and it's going to be different Uthgard since they run 1.65 and origins runs 1.62. Uthgard will be more classic than ever!.
Albion is gonna be a blast to play, since 1.65 was like the love patch for Albion.
I have heard a lot of good from some of the old Uthgard players who have helped testing and I personally like the changes that they have made. I like keeping it pure classic no buff shears etc! I don't like the mix of classic and none classic things.
I just hope that the Uthgard game masters adjust the XP rates, I like the rates they got on Genesis, it's not too fast and it's not too slow. But if the Uthgard XP is keeping their old rates, people are not gonna give them a chance. The last years of this game should be done in RvR and not in PvE!
I heard they fixed the drop rates on the encounters which suit me well. I like that the encounters like dragon etc. are correctly implemented. I must admit that the PvE on Genesis is just more or less retarded. A cave shaman can solo Nosoden, Worm + tons of other mobs.
I like the idea of having live like encounters so not every bloody person can chain farm a mob, and it makes the PvE more fun aswell if they just improve the drop rates.
Well enough crying for me
Midgard is gonna be a lot of fun on Uthgard. The melee groups won't be as strong on Uthgard as they are on Genesis.
So as always at this patch level and old RA's I would be up for running the following setups:
2x Healer, 1x Shaman, 1x Warrior, 3x Runies, 1x Sm (I'd roll a Runie)
2x Sorc, 2x Cabalist, 1x Theurg, 1x arms, 2x Clerics (I'd roll a Cabalist or arms)
1x bard, 1x Menta, 2x Druid, 2x Eld, 1x Enc, 1x Hero (I'd roll a Eld or Hero)
I don't know what realm i'd roll. I think it would be fun to run a caster group on all realms.
It was fun to see how many people who said that Midgard would be gimped before Origins released, and now everyone just cry about Midgard.
