Honestly kind of impressive to be so dedicated to the game and still miss 20 years of people asking why it doesn't work on their Shaman

Atlas launched. Feels like a classic mmorpg launch all right. No one can actually play. But the chat server works great!

Atlas has crashed and burned. For now. Mobs would sometimes stop fighting back so some people who were able to actually play got 50 day 1. How they pulled it off with server restarts every 20-30 minutes I have no idea. Then there was also something wrong with the crafting system that let people get truckloads of cash. quote:Hello @Players ! quote:Hello again, @Players!

I mean, other than mental health and possible social connections. I never played DAoC in its prime, but I knew a lot of people in other games who spent a good bit of time with it.

All they have to do is just bring back the old classic server. No buffbots and no ToA was fine.

The developers can't decide if they want old or new frontiers for the live classic server. For me it's old frontiers or bust, but even then I'm not stupid enough to want an exact replica of pre-ToA. I prefer how Phoenix used to have it with extra xp from bounties and daily mob bonuses, and I also like being able to switch sides as long as I haven't engaged in rvr for a while.

From Phoenix discord;quote:gruenes_schaf — 06/26/2022 Like I assumed when they announced 6 month hiatus in January, since Celestius collapsed and is trying to relaunch with Eden in the future/Atlas dead on arrival, Phoenix should be announcing their re-launch on July 23rd likely for sometime in August. Playing the Phoenix events going 1-50 in couple hours, non-stop action, sometimes getting rolled over by meta-premades but when you had a good group going it was some of the most fun I've had playing MMO in long time. Definitely looking forward to it re-launching, as I much preferred the pre-TOA stuff which I was exposed to a little bit with Celestius. I don't have a lot of experience with DAOC prior to the freeshards, I only played a little bit during Catacombs expansion, but Phoenix ruleset was pretty awesome in my opinion. knox fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Jun 28, 2022 |

phoenix was good. Eden is gonna be phoenix 2.0 more or less. I'm kind of annoyed phx admins keep teasing, i think they're trying to gently caress eden over with this. Just turn the goddamn power switch on. I disagree with having periodic events. just make an arcade mode all event all the time server imo if youre gonna do that. it splits the population

I stated in the Phoenix discord that maybe keeping the event characters locked inside the event zone and have a tournament type event for lvl50s with normalized RvR levels or something related to that event zone, to have a reason for even participating if you can't bring character over into regular zones. I wouldn't see a problem having one playing field event every 4 months or something like that though, possibly locked to 3 characters you can create.

The event on Phoenix for leveling in bgs was the distilled essence I want injected directly into my veins. Just an eternal scrap. That being said, a few friends and I really loved how Celestius evolved the small man content. Made for some crazy action that was really enjoyable (not a keep or meta 8s fan).

Don't do it. first time out, we had a solid 8man of players on chars ranging from rr2-ish fresh toons to a rr9 druid. We got absolutely destroyed by eight rr13+ mids. i have never seen dwarves cast so fast. We logged out and never went back.

i have fully capped out suits on like 7 live toons and it didnt do a god damned thing. realm rank is everything and there are like 2-3 groups that have been playing for twenty years and they're untouchable. gently caress ywain forever Molvik on the other hand was good fun at least, i did up a valkyrie with a twinked out suit and it was really strong and fun

Atlas is the exact flaming dumpster fire I expected it to be since the day they announced it. I know i'm just in hater mode but god drat. Between eden, phoenix 2.0 and the live classic server it is going to empty out so fast even if they do sort out the massive issues.

I mean... certainly it's a failing trash fire but I don't think the devs have a responsibility to open themselves up to vitriol in their own Discord because their free volunteer project is failing. They know the servers are hosed, they don't need 1000 people telling them why it's a moral failing that their servers are hosed and they should kill themselves for it.

The server is crashing over and over. Why didn't they talk to uth and phx devs to find out ways to fix this? ded fucked around with this message at 21:38 on Jul 4, 2022 |

eden announced alpha opens 8/20 https://eden-daoc.net/ highlights: rr skill caps quote:You will still earn your realm points, no matter what, but the maximum amount of Realm Skill Points you are able to spend will be limited based on the Realm Skill Point cap release schedule. For the first month of the server, the Realm Skill Point cap will be 3L9 or 200k RPs. Every week after that, the cap will be increased by 200k. Any Realm Points earned beyond the cap will still count towards your overall realm rank, but the Realm Skill Points available to spend and the +skill will be limited to the current cap. and seasons - tldr if population drops, theyre gonna level1 everybody and reset the rp skill cap but you keep your rps i'm really excited

Forgot this thread was a thing.. someone made the mistake of letting me know about atlas so of course I rolled some characters on Hib. Server has absolutely been rocky as all hell, but maybe they finally fixed the endless lag spikes..? Maybe this time? I’ll probably roll on Phoenix when that opens, I’ve been out of the loop on daoc free shards, so I’m unaware of how long to expect these servers to be active before they get shutdown.. I’m having fun though.

onesixtwo posted:Forgot this thread was a thing.. someone made the mistake of letting me know about atlas so of course I rolled some characters on Hib. Both Phoenix and Celestius had really solid (and by that I mean 3+ month) runs. Their new incarnations should actually be pretty slick with seasons, HOWEVER, the aforementioned handshake agreement (or weird coincidence) of single existence will be in jeopardy. Phoenix lacks certain later classes and MLs, where Celestius embraced them. They've both got upsides for various players which probably threatens a pretty strong split - something that's not good for a DAOC freeshard.

Eden (aka celestius 2.0) will have no MLs, no artifacts, but will have champ levels (this is good actually, you can get cure disease and little DoTs and stuff, but nothing that really shifts the power dynamic). A lot of people are sour on the Phoenix admins and they are doing some weird experiments (like no spellcrafting for the first 2 weeks and no stealthers for the first month); eden will be a more straightforward play. The RR cap/seasons systems on both are roughly interchangeable except Phoenix is going to wipe you if you aren't rr5 at new-season time, which is the one thing they shouldn't do. The goal should be to bring super high RR 12hour-a-day players down, not to penalize casuals.

If you want literally four hours of all the BG leaders just having a summit and talking about which shard people like, which ones theyre nervous about, etc, i've got your afternoon podcast (1.25x speed is recommended) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wokdQ7atiTk Spoiler: most of the big movers are hot on eden, lukewarm on phoenix, ice cold on Atlas it's good to hear polemo, pilz, and LT talking poo poo and hashing things out. Eden devs have welcomed input from the big BG leaders as to what people like or hate.

Phoenix ran for like 3 years until they shut down last August I believe. Then Celestius was launched to gather up the Phoenix refugees and had a high pop for roughly 2-3 months but died relatively quickly. Celestius relaunching as Eden in August, Phoenix coming back late 2022 or January 2023 latest. Phoenix and Eden both trying out seasons, to try and prevent the standard freeshard life cycle of hype launch and slowly/quickly dying after months. Phoenix said covid lockdowns gave the server the population boost needed to keep it running. Definitely interested in how it will play out, I'll get on Eden & Phoenix for sure. I always level a Healer first and then feel too poo poo to actually 8man so think I need to roll a Shaman or SM for Mid first. knox fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Jul 28, 2022 |

We could play all the servers and pick a different realm for each. Not like leveling takes that long on these. I am sort of curious how no spellcrafting and stealthers would go. But, I still really want to play an assassin or archer from some server launch.

well the thing is, it's not gonna be no stealthers unless they disable/nerf minstrels. so we're gonna see some stupid imbalance thing where people piss and whine about 8minst stealth groups jacking solos in the first month. and i say that as a pretty much career minstrel (when im playing on alb). its poorly thought out and dumb.
