Totaly agree, I love to be the outnumbered race. Even rember when I played horde in WoW, and all Allies was "oh, pink gnome so phun" doh. The ratio on that server was very diffrent. In the end we got the EU (world) best guild on the horde side, Nihilium, and our guild was also taking it to a new lvl.

The small race strugle to get to the top, but they always do
...and think of all the ppl. you can PvP against, noneed to wait for them to show up.

It's like gear. The best gear is hard to get (not alot), and crappy gear is lying all over the place (alot).
What would you like to be the race there ain't alot of, or the one with running around nakked trying to get a spot for some good gear.

I know it ain't how it works, but I just love the idea (:

Don't forget that Balaur are here to balance the game, so if the Asmodians control 90% of castles present in the Abyss, Balaur won't be agressive towards Elyos, and if the Abyss is way too unbalanced, GM's may take control of the Balaur faction. They have a lot of artillery like Battle-carrier, so there are different levels of them.

Being out numbered means I have less people I have to heal, then when someone dies it will be my fault because my heals didn't get out fast enough

Well this is something that we will have to see after beta . Maybe we asmo will be the numerous race.

ROFL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Back to the topic:I am not afraid that the game won't be balanced...the only thing that i am afraid is that the elyos who probarly will be more in numbers than the asmodians (that's what i think) will have a low skill lvl because of the noobz (well you will say that i am not the one to judge who is a noob and who is not).

But i think that even if a legion full of noobz goes on a siege well they won't have a chance and if the legions are well organised it will reduce the amaount of those imature unskilled players..it's all up to the legions in the game.

I'd love to be outnumbered by Elyos big time. As mentioned that means endless supply of pvp and feathers for new pillows. And if Balaur decided to help those "angelic" creatures, ain't it fun rolling the horde of noobs and trowing helping npc's in their backs as they flee?
Only problem will be if zerging was a factor in the game and if your skill wouldn't have a chance if you are outnumbered.
In the end i think it will come down to Legions during castle sieges and massive pvp, as i doubt that if Asmo Legion holds a castle in Abyss, the whole Elyos faction would be allowed to attack this only castle.

Well ofc the more ppl there are on a side be that Eylos or Asmo theres going to be more 'noobs' . [ A higher chance ]

I could care less for being outnumber. I will slay them all with no problem. PVP will be balance and I bet we will own most of the castles once this game goes live.

i enjoy playing the "weaker" race in all mmos,its a challenge winning a battle with less ppl.

Being outnumbered means I'm the underdog! ^_^

Everyone secretly wants the underdog to win! ;D

[The Dreamer]

Being outnumbered simply means a greater food supply. *grin*

No.

The Balaur, if they join, will join whichever race they please. Let's say one time, the Elyos outnumber Asmodians 3:1, and the Balaur help the Asmodians out, then another time, the Elyos outnumber the Asmodians 5:1, and the Balaur help the Elyos.

You'll never know which side they're on.

And, even if say, the Balaur and Elyos team up and defeat the Asmodians, the Balaur might then attack the Elyos while they're weak, and possibly defeat them.

The Balaur are unpredictable. Kthx.

I cant remember where but i think i had read an official post about the balaur stating that the Balaur WILL even out PVP and help the losing race topple the TOP race due to a fear in instincts type factor. Meaning the Balaur will help destroy the most powerful for fear of themselves.

Not the best post i know since i cant find the article.

Lag, LAG!...i swear it was lag!

[royce]

put it this way, Asmos fight with dragons against pretty 11 year old girls who love how heaven looks like and is over populated with healers...(yes, i seen my girlfriend do similar things...and shes 17...i dont want to know what 11 year olds act like)

I really think the Asmodians will out number the Eylos. For one the Asmodians have a cool dark style to them that is not found in many other games. But I think the young teenage and young adult players will pick cool dark over pleasant eylos. But we still don't know the what the majority of players will pick.
