Running interrupts is what your group's skald is for.

Edit; never mind, found it. Uthgard is tremendous fun so far, great nostalgia trip. Anyone who wants to play this evening? (GMT +1)? Cnaiur fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Jan 27, 2013 |

I'm still on Uth on Mid side leveling my bonedancer. It's making me want to kill myself and I can't get groups. I should have just made another animist

Rannison: if you want to I can invite you for the guild I'm in? Currently about 20 people with approx 8 low level people who are trying to level. I'm normally playing from 8pm (GMT+1) and currently doing Nisse's Lair with a couple of low level guildies. Cnaiur fucked around with this message at 12:12 on Jan 28, 2013 |

It's just so lonely and dark. Midgard does little to ward off this chill, sadly. Frigid, nordic winters.

Alright, good to hear. It's really funny to see the activity in an old-school dungeon like Nisse. Yesterday evening there were at least 2 FG's at the beginning of the dungeon, which remembered me of DaoC's early days.

Oh ya, it's great. I'm having a blast on this server though a fairly large part of me wishes I had done Hibernia but alas. Lemme know when you get to 30ish as I'm apparently a Ranger-Beacon and get killed 2 minutes into every xp session

I don't know if anyone's seen it yet, but: http://citystateentertainment.com/camelotunchained/ Looks to be the spiritual successor to DAOC, being built by former DAOC devs. I have one problem however: "Michelle Davies was kicked out of Second Life for swarming other players with an army of self-replicating Daleks that transformed into bouncing penises. The upside is that Second Life is safer now. The downside is that she’s got nowhere left to send them but her first life." This developers biography. Sound familiar to any goons?

If there is a spiritual successor to DAoC I will be ecstatic. I played the hell out of this game back on release for a good... hmm, 2 years I think. Loading up a basic 14 day trial - I have no idea what my old account was and could probably never retrieve anything off it.

That sounds really cool but it'll be a long way off I just logged in for the first time in years, got a Skald to level 20 in about an hour or two. Still lots of fun, some nice RvR in the battlegrounds whilst levelling and the game is so much more intuitive now. Great gear, cool questhubs and everything in general is more accessible. Persuaded my brother to download the free trial so we're going to duo xp up tomorrow and see how we go  Thinking of trying Albion or Hib..any good combos for xp + rvr?

Bloodbath posted:That sounds really cool but it'll be a long way off For Hibernia: Bard + Melee DPS, usually. For Albion: Minstrel + DPS, probably a Sorc. You're definitely going to want speed and CC for leveling/RvR. Also for the people on Mid/Uthgard, let me know a time and if you guys need it I can throw a few plat at you. I also have a couple on Hib as well. Pretty burnt out on the server, otherwise I'd join up.

Abandon All Hope posted:I don't know if anyone's seen it yet, but: Oh, I really hope they make it. That sounds very ambitious but it would be so awesome to see a DAoC successor. I want to update the early post with active players, but I don't see many of your in-game names. If it wouldn't be too much trouble, if you'd like to be listed as actively playing, could you go back and edit your most recent post to include your in-game name, realm, and whether you're on Uthgard or on the Ywain cluster?

I'm playing on Ywain as Mobiusss, almost level 50 Eldritch So I'm close to 50 and having not played for years and years am wondering what you do when you get there? I'm guessing legendaries are not important any more. I figure I'll mostly be keep defending and stuff (I'm void/bolt and enjoying it) how do I go about getting better gear than the Cathal Valley bounty point equipment? Do people still do ToA stuff? Is Darkness Falls relevant at all? I quit after ToA so have no idea what Labyrinth and stuff are. Also what is Caledonia, is that an RvR zone? And do people still mainly use Emain Macha as the RvR zone? Basically I'm guildless and have no idea how to make myself RvR ready I recommend anyone thinking of returning give it a go though, I'm thoroughly enjoying myself and levelling at a really good pace through the battlegrounds with a bit of RvR here and there is great fun. The community is very nice and I've met quite a few beginners and returning players. People are friendly and helpful, and the game is much more intuitive and accessible than I ever remember before.

Bloodbath posted:I'm playing on Ywain as Mobiusss, almost level 50 Eldritch I'm playing on alb but I can definatly give you some pointers: Most of the TOA stuff can now be bought with either Bounty Points or Atlantean Glass. This includes both the Master Levels as well as Artifacts. Once you cap out of Cathal Valley ( that is if you chose to but if you're enjoying it why stop) you should be around 4L9 have a decent grip of how your class is played as well as gold and bounty points you can begin to build a suit. If you want to pay with glass there are repeatable quests in TOA that give you Glass every run, they're fairly quick look for people in /region spamming for a Glass Group or something similar go to their zone you should be able to get a group rather quickly. The gold rewards are also pretty good. Surf the web for a decent Eld suit, unfortunately I'm not really sure as I've never played hib but i'd imagine you'd want to get your dex pretty high as its your casting stat, and toa bonuses ( you can find those by typing /bonuses, the cap is usually 10% for damage/speed/pierce and 25% for spell duration and healing effectiveness. DF is still a decent place to RVR but I've found it over run with sneeks. At the entrance there should be a quest that after killing 15 albs/mids you get a 1500 rp's BP's some cash and XP. Not a bad quest to pick up as it's repeatable. Caledonia is an rvr event running till the end of the week or so ( if it's not already stopped ) its just a battle ground they opened for level 50's nothing to worry about. There is no real "main rvr" zone any longer due to New Frontiers but you can get a good feel for things if you join a group and get started in a BattleGroup usually each realm has 3+ groups running around trying to do things a good way to get your feet wet. However I would work on finding a suit first then get money/items for that suit, then cap out of CV. Apologize for the length of this I just kept typing.

Twlight posted:Stuff Thanks for all this, very helpful. I'm 47.5 at the moment and xping through Cathal Valley is a struggle. Would it be worth me starting with ToA stuff now as I xp, or is there another way to xp? I've only used battlegrounds so far. Also what is this pict camp in the frontier? I see high level and low level people standing around pulling mobs, is that viable for me or do you need a level 50 alt to get in? Bloodbath fucked around with this message at 09:53 on Feb 21, 2013 |

Bloodbath posted:Thanks for all this, very helpful. at 47.5 you should be running the glass quests you'll be able to xp up pretty quick to 49.8 ( remember if you want to stay in Cathal Valley to type /xp off before you hit 50! ) you'll still earn artifact xp but your level wont advance. you can continue to run the glass quests for a while ( or buy the glass off housing I'm not sure of hib prices but its around 1 - 1.5 p. per 5000 stack on alb. The pict camp is a part of the pictish invasion quest they drop some decent melee weapons. The quest might have ended or stopped I'm not 100% sure as to how its still running. Glad I Could help.

Cool thanks. I've played around in Cathal Valley and started to discover that bolts aren't as great as I originally thought I think I might make a new character on Midgard as that's what I played years ago, and it always feels like home.I'm wondering if perhaps I might be better off just getting to 39, as Molvik seems easier to gear for compared to Cathal or level 50. I remember Thidranki being hugely popular but it doesn't appear to be any more.

Bloodbath posted:Cool thanks. I've played around in Cathal Valley and started to discover that bolts aren't as great as I originally thought The eld bolts don't really have the damage as a wizard bolt due to most earth wizards being able to debuff their own damage. ( Matter for earth spec wizards ) I would give the other lines a shot I believe it's moon/sun spec would be better. You get a lot more utility ( Nearsight, AOE Disease, AOE Snare ) If you want to stay void, you can definitely work with another hib caster and debuff energy for them should help you drop things quicker. The real key to RVR and successful RVR at that is having casters debuff damage types of other casters, using nearsight/disease, and interruption. CC at this point really isn't as "big" of a deal as it once was.
