I would be more likely to roll Mid or even Alb. I played on Alb more than 10 years ago on live. Memories!

I'll definitely be playing alb. People are obviously welcome to play on what realm makes them happy. But, alb is the happiest realm around, so... Reminder, here's the discord link, if you want to shoot the poo poo about dark age, instead, https://discord.gg/0qhecUGK8tfEvvje

Just play whatever realm you want to. Goons didn't stick around for Genesis and that was super fast leveling. They'll all burn out pre-50 on Uthgard.

So weird playing this game after almost 15 years. I quit somewhere after SI but before ToA, so playing on Uthgard is like picking up where I left off. Everything is do familiar but at the same time I have forgotten enough that it's a whole new learning curve again. Is there a way to use the new cata models on Uthgard?

Hopefully getting a nice guild setup, and into a large alliance will help the 40+ exp rate. I know I'll be running as many Summoner's Hall Exp raids as possible.

Where's the option to select that? I followed the instructions on their website but it's still using all the old models in game. I made sure no of the classic options were enabled when I configured on first run too. clone on the phone fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Jun 17, 2016 |

At the character select screen, when you click on options, you'll find the option to look at which figure versions you have selected.

Uthgard has been pretty good so far. I've tried out all the realms and it feels pretty faithful to the patch level they are trying to emulate. Looking forward to testing the boosted characters because I'm not leveling that far only to have it wiped when it goes live.

When playing on Genesis server my GPU went into overdrive, generating a LOT of heat in the process. Could reaching 300+FPS cause that? Would capping my Nvidia card at 60FPS (I found that feature recently) help?

I really hope it doesn't last long and we can go to live. i50 is gonna be a poo poo show of people who are rolling instas with trash gear vs the people who actually played beta and have SCed reasonable suits. But I guess enough people are gonna be in trash gear that they can adequately test high-end content.

It's a wondrous time to be an Albion stealth zerg, I am guessing.

Well i50 is up. You can get free DF gear in the capital near the old giant cat. Basically allows you to get capped stats and ~10-15% resists on level 49 armour. Good enough to play with for sure. If the server can stabalize this should actually be some fun RvR and maybe even a dragon raid.

I'm gonna give Uthgard a shot this weekend with instant 50 to see if I want to come back for the launch in a couple of weeks.

Oh wow holy sniz. Well the instant 50 "merchant" should be in the main cities. In camelot(albion) it's right through the main gate. There's merchants for free level 50ish armor and gear.

Made a sorc and played some this weekend with a couple of other folks. Seems fun and I plan to play at launch. Here's the latest Uthgard update that announced this testing phase:quote:The Final Phase It doesn't say when exactly launch will be; it just says that it will be 1-2 weeks after this testing phase. Someone should maybe start a new thread after this testing phase ends dedicated to just Uthgard?

When i30 came out they suggested i50 would one one to two months. i30 lasted about a month and a half although that was mainly because a bunch of the devs were on vacation. I sort of feel like the server might be live around the beginning of October.

Quick question, so I'm not sure how stats and stat caps work exactly. In this post I see someone testing up to 392 dex for casting speed increase: http://www.ign.com/boards/threads/full-cast-speed-test-for-all-delves-click-here-to-see-how-much-dex-you-need-p.250680778/ And in this post and others it says stats are capped at level x 1.5 (or 75 at level 50).: http://www.covenantofthephoenix.com/forums/topic/26234-stuff-you-might-not-know-about-daoc/ Saracens start with 80 dex for example, so I'm not sure what the stat cap means. If it means I could have +75 dex on top of my starting dex, which I guess could be 109 with putting 29 points into dex at char creation, then I have no idea how 392 dex was reached in the first post for testing. Is there some other way to increase stats and that's what the +75 is about? Edit: I see in that second post actually that the +75 is item cap. So 109 for Saracen starting stats with +75 from items is 184 dex. Can you get +208 dex from buffs? Rabbi fucked around with this message at 11:09 on Aug 23, 2016 |

Rabbi posted:Quick question, so I'm not sure how stats and stat caps work exactly. Max stat increase at char creation is 18, you get diminishing returns after 10. Go with 15 dex 10 int. 75 is the max you can get from items on uth, 155 max from buffs (50*1.25 = 62 from base buffs, 75*1.25 = 93 from spec buffs). You can also get stats from realm abilities, up to 48 iirc, and also flat cast speed increase. The 392 is for live servers with TOA, can't reach it on Uth. Also it pertains to break points where your casting speed suddenly increases, which doesn't matter on uth because they calculate it differently.

If you're talking about how things are on Uthgard, then ignore that first link completely. There's two issues: First, the cap for +stats from items is +75. Then there's caps on buffs, which are +62 for "base" buffs and +93 for "spec" buffs. So, the most dexterity you can get at this point in the game is 381, broken down as follows: 80 base dex with +18 at character creation (Saracen or Elf), on a class that has dexterity as a secondary stat means that at 50 you'll have 121. Add in 75 from items, 30 from the Realm Ability Aug Dex 5, 62 from capped base dex and 93 from spec dex/quick. Circling back to that first link, Live DAoC cast speed for spells has breakpoints, meaning if you were to graph it with dexterity on the x axis and cast speed on the y axis, it would be a piecewise function. Dawn of Light servers (Uthgard) uses floating point, which means that every point of dexterity matters and there are no breakpoints. If you're talking about live, then ignore the above because I havent played Live DAoC since like 2005!

Yeah, talking about Uthgard, thanks for the info guys! There's a lot to learn. Just to make sure, does Uthgard 2.0 still not have breakpoints, even with their strict adherence to 1.65?
|
# ? Aug 23, 2016 11:43 |
|
I would have to imagine it's like 1.0 and thus no breakpoints, because changing that would probably mean they'd have to rewrite substantial portions code.

A few of us who were still playing live got a little burned from the huge revamp Broadsword just did. I'm assuming the revamp wasn't great then? I was playing a Mauler right before it hit but burnt out trying to get enough plat to buy all the random ablatives/old event items.
