 Uthgard information:Uthgard is a popular freeshard that is currently in beta but appears to be closing on a full release fairly soon (as of 2016-08-29). Uthgard differs from the official servers by trying to recapture the experience as it was shortly after the first expansion, Shrouded Isles, but before the second expansion that many people hated, Trials of Atlantis. It's based on patch 1.65 and will have the Old Frontiers and the first version of the Realm Abilities, so Group Purge and things like that. The XP grind will be a lot worse than the official servers these days, but it will have the original RvR frontier areas which many people prefer. Some goons are using Discord to organize our Uthgard presence. What is Dark Age of Camelot? Dark Age of Camelot is an MMO that was originally released in 2001, which would rightfully be a death sentence for most games. However, Dark Age is still distinguished by its innovative three-way PvP system, which earned it Ten Ton Hammer's "Best PvP Game of the Decade" award even in 2010. This "realm versus realm" system is why you should play this game, because if you know what an MMO is, you are probably already sick of fighting AI or dealing with instanced PvP.  DAoC's realm versus realm (RvR) system pits the realms of Albion, Midgard, and Hibernia against each other in open war. Defenders of these realms fight each other in the frontier lands to win territory, titles, and various stat bonuses.  Also, you can build trebs and catapults and stuff to storm enemy keeps or defend your realm's keeps:  That sounds awesome! Where can I get it? You can sign up and download the trial at http://darkageofcamelot.com/trial. Wait, is it free? If you play on the the official ("Live") servers operated by Broadsword/EA, no. You get a 14-day free trial, after which point it requires a monthly subscription of $15. There is no level cap or limit to what you're able to do with your 14 days, though. All players of all levels are able to compete in RvR, and there are level-specific "battlegrounds" for characters under the max level to get used to the system. There's also nothing stopping a level 1 character from going out into the RvR zone where the max level players roam about, if you're feeling curious. If you want to go the freeshard route, you will still need to download the game but you won't need a subscription. Uthgard is the most well-known DAoC freeshard. So how hard is it to get to the max level? On the official servers, really, really easy. The developers know RvR is the major draw to this game. Thanks to some recently added quests, you can reach level 50 (the maximum XP level) in a weekend. Past level 50, you can continue to accumulate "realm points," which you earn by killing enemy players. You use realm points to train in additional skills beyond what you would get from XP. There are also Champion levels for a little bit of sub-classing. On freeshards it varies. Soloing is going to be painfully slow in most cases, so find a competent group to get the XP bar moving. On Uthgard, the leveling is roughly targeting the original game's version 1.65, which was in the first expansion era. Leveling is very slow, so definitely group up and be in Discord or some other voice chat with people to BS with. What if I already played a long time ago? Do I have to start over? Old characters are still around on the official archived servers. For information on transferring your characters to the current servers and getting back up to speed, visit http://web.archive.org/web/20121020213530/http://camelotvault.ign.com/wiki/index.php/Returning_Players. Instructions for transferring your characters to the main server cluster are here for most servers, and instructions for transferring from the PvP servers are in this post and this post. If you played on any previous freeshards you're pretty much out of luck. The original Uthgard database was wiped and everyone's starting out fresh there. Is there any PvE? Yes, there are non-RvR zones with the usual quests and AI enemies. You won't see as many players in those areas, but they are still fun to explore. Some freeshards limit which zones are available, so your mileage will vary a little. Are there really no instances? There are a small number of instanced zones in PvE, but there are no instances in RvR. RvR is one gigantic territory divided up into the three realms' frontier lands. The battlegrounds are smaller versions of the frontier lands.  You keep saying "freeshard" and I have no idea what you mean "Freeshard" is MMO lingo for a free, unofficial version of an MMO game server. Usually you'd want to stay away from freeshards, but in Dark Age of Camelot, the popular freeshards are emulating past configurations of the game for the sake of nostalgia. Gameplay on these freeshards is very different from gameplay on the official servers. I'm kind of hoping that these freeshards show Broadsword that it'd be worthwhile to set up a classic server. I just looked at the class abilities on the official server and everything is different from what I remember! Broadsword (who maintains DAoC after Mythic dissolved) changed a lot of abilities in patch 1.121. Where can I learn more? Some helpful links for the official servers: Guide for New Characters (Hibernia) - Information about Hibernia's classes and races The old Dark Age of Camelot thread The Camelot Herald - The official DAoC news source Dark Age of Camelot Wiki - The official wiki DAoC boards on PostCount.Net - The most popular (public) Dark Age forums after IGN killed the VNBoards ZAM - An item/quest database that is still mostly accurate GearBunny - A template building program DAoC-Charplan - A character skill planning program Combo posted:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG_k83Yiy1A Helpful links for Uthgard players: Uthgard website Our Discord server for Uthgard Other games to keep an eye on: Camelot Unchained - A new, upcoming RvR game from Mark Jacobs, the lead designer and CEO behind DAoC originally Feel free to chime in if you want to see something added.

Bishop01 posted:are all classes pretty viable at this point? I am playing a ranger and will be looking to group and such but I really want to play a class that can run around solo if need be. How are groups and such typically formed in this game? do people keep to there guilds/alliances or is there a recruitment chat channel for rvr..... is the games population healthy enough for frequent RVR fun? Most classes are pretty viable, though some are certainly more powerful than others. A ranger will have an easy time in PvE and do okay in RvR, though you'll find that your melee is a bit weak and assassin classes (infiltrators, shadowblades) will eat you alive since everyone seems to run Viper 5 and dumps damage poisons into you until you explode. I'd suggest speccing high in your bow, since sniper is probably the most viable RvR playstyle for archer classes currently. The fun thing is that with leveling so fast and easy, you can always roll another toon and try a different class if you're not happy with what you have currently. By the way, Lore and I should be online this evening after work, so look for us in-game by doing /who waffle - we're in the Cult of Nyarlathotep guild.

Bishop01 posted:Is it just me or are we the bitch ream? we have almost no keeps and no power relics? is this the status quo? Mid and Hib sometimes trade off being the bitch realm. Alb is the only realm that never really takes a turn at it these days. Hib's frontier is consistently popular, though. I think it's because Mid's frontier is depressing (looks like Wisconsin) and Alb's frontier is boring and full of humanoid NPCs (which is annoying). Despite that, Hibs can put up a pretty good fight. Our alliance tries to run relic raids often, though the sheer number of Albs makes it hard to actually bring the relics home.

Combo posted:No, between purge, charge, heavy tanks getting a ton of CC reduction, etc, bomb groups don't really work so well anymore from what I understand. Bomb groups can still work if they have Static Tempest and TWF, and if the enemy zerg is clumped up nicely. The element of surprise is huge, of course. In a recent patch Mythic nerfed bainshees because some people decided to revisit the AE bolt bomb group concept. Until it was nerfed, it was pretty awesome to see the killspam when one of those groups hit the Alb zerg. Instant pages of green text. Even after the first nerf one bomb group was able to (basically) single-handedly stop an Alb relic raid. In case you're wondering how the AE bolt bomb worked, a group with a few bainshees specced for AE bolts would stalk zergs until they had a good chance to AE mez and clump them up - the fun part about Alb zergs is how they all stick one person, so clumping is easy - then the bainshees would bolt from max range. All at once. I wish I could have seen it first-hand.

Rodney Chops posted:I quit this game years ago when ToA came out. Is it still 'Dark Age of Cast-alot'? My paladin was not good for much more then an endo-bot. Well, there was a time when tank trains were incredibly lethal. Right now the balance is certainly tipped towards casters in terms of damage and overall utility, though I'm still partial to some good old fashioned melee beatdowns. As far as being competitive, it's probably the most accessible it has ever been in terms of getting good gear with relative ease. Leveling is easy, money is easy to get, master levels are easy to buy (yep, buy), champion levels are easy with a bit of RvR, and gear is either handed to you pretty much (BGs and quest hubs) or purchased with bounty points, a bit of plat (again money is easy now), or the other in-game currencies (glass and scales). Plus, with a bit of creativity, you can get a good template for cheap and look at upgrading later on to something with more or different toys. Heck, only my nightshade's template is really expensive, but I also enjoy doing some PvE raids so I won some bits of gear from ML10 raids.

Le0 posted:Is there still EU and US servers or did they merge everything under the Ywain cluster? Is there enough EU players still? They're all merged together now with the Ywain cluster. The only separate servers now are Gaheris (PvE) and Mordred (open PvP). The EU player population is still pretty sizable, I'd say. Relentless posted:Are wardens still kickin' rad helperbots that are second only to bards for being loved? Two patches ago wardens had greater heals and spec group heals added to their Regrowth line, so they're now a secondary healer instead of a tertiary healer. Plus, they can still do their melee voodoo with their chants (damage add, celerity melee speed buff, pulsing bladeturn, etc) and groups love their magic resistance buffs. Keep in mind, though, that they hit like a wet noodle with regular styles. Their awesomeness is in their utility. And last, but not least, wardens can get the TWF realm ability, which is badly needed by Hib. vandalism posted:I downloaded this and have been messing with the character creator. I made an eldritch and an animist, any opinion on which is the better explosion maker? The turret pets seem kinda cool for pvp, but I remember eldritches having crazy cool void bolts of death. Animists can be celts with cool spiky hair, though Animists are pretty awesome and can do insane damage if you spec Arb for the bombers, but the bombers can run into pathing issues on the way to their target, so that's best for open field fights. Also, the new moving pets means that Hib gets a bit more interrupting utility. Eldritches are Hib's Swiss Army Knives. They do really good damage in all of the spec lines, though Void is probably the most lacking. Light has a powerful DD spell, AE mez, nearsight, and a insta-AE dex/qui debuff. Mana has PBAoE damage, a snare/DD spell, AE disease (awesome!), insta-AE str/con debuff, and more. Void mainly just has bolts and a couple of magic debuff spells that are nice if you're grouped with one of the few remaining RvR bainshees. In other words, both classes are fun. Jessant posted:Made a Vamp called Silm in hopes of some Thid action. Awesome! Any goons in the guild already can invite you to the guild if you wish. As for Lore and I, we'll be online again this evening after work.

boho posted:Are Valewalkers worth anything yet? They were considered largely worthless when I last poked my head in and looked around. How about Mentalists or Enchanters? I never understood where they really "fit" in Hibernia's caster lineup. The only class I've really played on Hibernia was an Eldritch. I mostly see VWs solo, and they do really well. From what I understand, they're a pretty good class if played well. They do lack melee styles for peeling, though. Mentalists and enchanters have received love in the last few patches so they're almost on par with elds, I think. Elds probably still have more "utility", but they're all good casters. I've been meaning to roll a mentalism-specced ment for their DD/heal, mez, heal, demez, etc.

Lore and I have some Thid or lower toons that we'll probably dust off soon to join whoever's leveling up. Also, we had talked about doing some power level nights since we could easily get people from 1 to 20+ in hardly any time at all. At least this way if anyone wants to try different classes or something it would be painless. Edit: boho posted:Are there any Cabalist-type casters in a realm other than Albion? I'd rather not be on team zerg if I can help it... The closest would probably be Enchanters and Spiritmasters, though I would say the cabbie has nicer toys generally.

SERPUS posted:Valewalker melee is actually based on peeling. All of their strongest styles are side and back styles. The real problem, as I understand it, is a lack of snare styles. They get a rear stun, but that's pretty much it for peeling. The positional styles are great for damage, though.

mfny posted:Anyone want to give me a quick run-down of classes recommended ? I'd suggest starting with a caster class, then. For Hibernia, your best bet would probably to try an Eldritch first, since they're pretty straight-forward. Melee classes require positioning, and some melee styles are even based on position (front, behind, or to the side of your target) so I don't think those are what you're looking for.

Responses inline:Mux posted:Casters - All hib casters, except the animist, get a 9 second baseline stun at level 45 or 50 (I forget). This is the sole reason hib casters are awesome and not to be underestimated. Edit: Vermain posted:If you didn't play this game when it first came out, chances are really good that you won't enjoy it now. To be frank: the combat is dated and clunky and harkens back to an earlier time of Everquest where watching your character swing slowly at something was acceptable gameplay. Things have changed, and growing up with MMOs like WoW does make DAoC seem considerably more slow paced and dull. I think that's only a symptom of dealing with lower level characters, which in any game will not be as interesting as higher level characters. The combat in DAoC is actually much more in-depth than most games once you get past the levels of "target X, swing until dead". Positional styles, reactional styles, and all kinds of goodies await.

Combo posted:Incorrect. There are realm buffers now, where you buy a token and hand it back to them for full buffs, but you don't get endurance out of it (endurance regen has a range on it now). A played shaman is still pretty rare but they're needed for groups. Well, most people run with at least blue endo potions now. With Long Wind 1 and blue endo you can perma-sprint. Shammies are still common, though, for shears, disease, DoTs, and Ichor. Annoying little things, that's for sure.

boho posted:So how does a castershade work exactly? I'm thinking about trying one since stealth tends to be solo-friendly. They're pretty straight-forward. The magic (har har) is all in the template and RAs. Nightshade magic damage is based on Stealth as your skill and Dex as your casting stat, so people run with slightly higher Stealth and try to get Dex as high as possible. For a lurikeen that could even be up to 392 dex. Also, your template should include 10% resist piercing if possible for maximum damage potential. Finally, you'd spec in RAs like MoM and WP.

If anyone needs anything on Albion I should be on as Gnusong. There haven't been many changes to the ML10 gear, but it depends on when you last played. Noteworthy is that a few patches ago they nerfed Conflag/Illusions a bit so that the pet procs are a bit less deadly. Also, the cool kids are playing Hib, so you should roll one!

For example, you could bind an unused key to activate a spell on Bar 4 Slot 2 by typing /qbind 4 2, pressing Enter, and then pressing the appropriate key. (You probably already know how to do that, but maybe it'll help someone new to qbinds.)

Type: /macro GT /groundset 2000 GT = the label for your macro when it's on your quickbar, 2000 = the distance in front of you to set the ground target - modify those as needed for your macros concerned mom posted:What's the mentalist damage output like? I always thought it would be a bit bad as they have more utility. Mentalists and Eldritches both have insane utility, just in different ways. They both also can do nice damage. Light spec for Mentalists has a really nice heat DD and an AoE DD, plus charm spells. Mentalism spec gets a nice DD that has a PBAoE heal effect as a bonus, single-target mez, demez, and a heal. Combo posted:I don't know about mentalist damage but someone here has one, just can't remember who. When you have a level 50 enchanter with a fully-buffed pet and the highest focus shield, stuff just dies. It's also ridiculous when you toss in the bard with the highest level heal procs and a mana mentalist with the highest level Heal-over-Time spell. The HoT doesn't generate any aggro, so I just spam it on the enchanter pet to keep it alive. It's so broken.

Twlight posted:I could have sworn they've made changes to the distance and damage of the shade DD's but I'm not 100% sure. They did nerf the Nightshade DDs by about 15% damage in the last patch, but they're still decent.

GUIDE FOR NEW CHARACTERS (Hibernia) Long overdue, but here goes! Disclaimer: These are general guidelines for creating a new character. You can mess with the stats and gear for most races or classes to get a combination that fares better, so don't let me stop you from making a Shar Mentalist if that's what you're really set on. CLASSES Often, the first choice that you'll make is the class that you want to play. In general, there are healers, casters, stealthers, melee-ers, and hybrids (usually a cross between melee/caster, but there's also a cross between melee/healer). Hibernia's primary healers are Bards and Druids. Our primary casters include Animists, Bainshees, Eldritches, Enchanters, and Mentalists. Primary melee classes include Blademasters and Heroes. The only Hib stealthers are Nightshades and Rangers. Hybrid melee/caster classes include Champions, Maulers, Valewalkers, and Vampiirs, while the hybrid melee/healer is the Warden. Animist (introduced with Shrouded Isles)  A strong caster class, both in PvE and RvR. They get mushroom pets that can follow them around and do melee or magic damage, or stationary mushrooms that cast spells at enemies who come within range (like a turret). The turret mushrooms are most commonly used in PvE farming or RvR keep defense. Animists can also get "bomber" pets that fly over to the target and explode, which is the most common in open field RvR. Typically: Celt or Sylvan More info Bainshee (introduced with Catacombs)  An average caster class. They get a variety of Area of Effect (AoE) spells, including a cone AoE which does damage to anyone standing within a cone in front of them. They also get an uninterruptible pulsing Point-Blank AoE (PBAoE), which is widely used in PvE and is pretty good for RvR keep defense. They can be great in the right group, but were recently nerfed because Albs are too lazy to not clump up. Typically: Lurikeen or Elf More info Bard (original class)  An average healing class and Hib's primary crowd control class. They get group healing abilities and resurrection spells, as well as mesmerizing (mezzing) spells that are used to hold enemies in place. They also get songs for group speed enhancements, group endurance regeneration, and group power regeneration. A Bard is pretty essential for RvR groups and very nice for PvE groups, but can't deal much damage. They are in high demand in RvR because Hibs are very hard on Bards and people give up playing them. Typically: Celt More info Blademaster (original class)   A light tank and woefully underpowered melee class. Blademasters are known for dual-wielding weapons, but they hit like a wet noodle and are mainly useful for their Banelord abilities (if you choose that Master Level path). Blademasters are pretty rare because they do less damage than other melee classes and can't take as much damage as other tanks. You will most often see them face down in the dirt. Typically: Celt or Firbolg More info Champion (original class)  A hybrid melee/caster class that can function as a pretty good tank. Champions don't hit quite as hard as Heroes in melee, but they can make up for it with their array of damage and debuffing spells. They are very useful (but tragically under-represented) in RvR and also useful in PvE. Typically: Celt More info Druid (original class)  A strong healing class. Druids get buffs, heals, resurrection spells, instant heals, a pet, and rooting spells for immobilizing enemies. A general rule of thumb in RvR is to have one or two Druids per group, so there are never enough Druids to meet the demand. Typically: Celt More info Eldritch (original class)  A very strong caster class. This is Hibernia's primary magic damage and general Swiss army knife class. They get nukes (single target, AoE, and PBAoE), debuffs, disease spells, and stuns, and are widely used both in PvE and RvR. Typically: Lurikeen or Elf More info Enchanter (original class)  A strong caster class. They get a PBAoE nuke, debuffs, a pet that can do melee or magic damage, and a focus shield spell for PvE. This is Hibernia's main PvE farming class because of the focus shield, but their debuffs and nukes are also useful in RvR. Their new Realm Rank 5 ability has made them even more viable in RvR, whereas they were previously often overlooked for Eldritches. Typically: Lurikeen or Elf More info Hero (original class)   A heavy tank and strong melee class. Probably the most common melee class in RvR. They can use a shield along with a one-handed weapon, or they can use a two-handed weapon. They also have the ability to wield a Celtic spear. A well-played Hero has a lot of damage-soaking toys and is very hard to kill. Some Heroes specialize in blocking to help casters farm in PvE. Typically: Celt or Firbolg (RvR), Lurikeen (PvE) More info Mauler (introduced with Labyrinth of the Minotaur)  A hybrid melee/caster class that can function as a light tank. Maulers are defined by their use of fistwrap weapons or melee staff weapons, combined with spells to augment their damage. They also have spells that can root, snare, and debuff enemies, and they are one of two classes that gains power in their power pool by dealing damage to enemies. Not terribly common thanks to their lackluster styles and lack of ranged abilities. Typically: Celt or Graoch More info Mentalist (original class)  A strong caster class. The Mentalist mana specialization is very useful in PvE farming, whereas the light spec gets damage and charm spells that are more useful in RvR. The mentalism spec is also good for RvR because of its damage, mezz, de-mezz, and healing spells. They have access to the Static Tempest realm ability, which is very nice in RvR. Many people underestimate the utility of a Mentalist, so these are not terribly common. Typically: Lurikeen More info Nightshade (original class)   A strong stealth class and Hibernia's main assassin class. They pack a deadly punch between their poisons and magic spells. They get some neat toys, such as a trap that deals a lot of damage to enemy siege equipment, and if a Nightshade is played well, it can kill pretty much any other class in the game. A very popular choice for solo-ers in RvR, but also common in duos. They aren't very often grouped with visible classes. Typically: Lurikeen or Celt More info Ranger (original class)   An average stealth class which primarily does ranged damage with a bow. They're great at PvE, and in RvR they are best played as a sniper. A Ranger can use their stealth to their advantage and shoot unsuspecting players, which is effective in stealth duos. However, a solo Ranger is vulnerable to attacks from other assassins and would need to choose fights very carefully. Rangers are rarely grouped with visible classes. Typically: Lurikeen More info Valewalker (introduced with Shrouded Isles)  A hybrid melee/caster class which is more about damage-dealing than damage-taking. Highly positional melee styles make this a challenging class for a beginner. The upside is that they have good ranged damage capabilities and strong melee damage potential. They also look really cool with their scythes. Not as common as they could be, but still very deadly when played well. Typically: Celt or Sylvan More info Vampiir (introduced with Catacombs)  A hybrid melee/caster class. Despite their unfortunate name, they are a strong class and are sometimes regarded by enemies as a "cheese" class because they excel at hunting enemy stealthers. They get an ability that allows them to see stealthers easily within a certain radius. Vampiirs are a great solo class, primarily because they don't require buffs and can keep themselves alive with a number of toys. They're also useful in groups as damage dealers, and they are the second Hib class that gains power in their power pool by damaging enemies. Typically: Celt More info Warden (original class)  A hybrid melee/healing class. Wardens can be melee- or healing-oriented depending on player preference, and they are extremely useful in RvR in both situations. As a healer, Wardens can assist a Druid in a group with heals and resurrection spells, although they can't fully replace a Druid. Melee Wardens can assist other melee classes in the group with their chants to increase melee damage and improve attack speed. They also get an ability called Thornweed Field (TWF), which damages and snares all enemies inside the effect. TWF is, bar none, the most important ability when taking or defending keeps, but it is sorely underutilized in Hibernia. Wardens can also equip shields and are sometimes used as a blocking replacement for Heroes in PvE. Typically: Celt More info TRAITS Certain traits are desirable for certain classes, and you can customize these traits to some extent when creating a character. You will also want to look for equipment that helps the relevant traits. Charisma: More charisma means a larger power pool for Bards. Everyone else should ignore it. Constitution: Higher constitution means more hit points. All classes try to get as much of this as they can manage. Dexterity: Higher dexterity means faster casting speed and better melee defense (blocking/parrying/evading). All classes try to increase dexterity, but it is especially important for casters and healers. Empathy: More empathy means a larger power pool for Druids and Wardens. Everyone else should ignore it. Intelligence: Higher intelligence means higher magic damage and a larger power pool for casters. Casters and Champions want this to be high. Piety: Hibernians should always ignore this. Quickness: Higher quickness means better melee swing speed. Melee classes try to get this to 250 (fully buffed), but casters and healers should ignore it. Strength: Higher strength means more melee damage and more encumbrance, which basically allows you to carry more siege equipment. Melee classes want this to be as high as possible. Casters and healers don't care about it. RACES Some races are naturally better at a class because they maximize the traits listed above. When choosing a race, you'll want to keep in mind the traits that the race has, and consider how those traits will impact your chosen class. You can offset traits by tweaking your character's equipment, but in some cases it will be an uphill battle. Catacombs models are on the left; Classic models are on the right. Celt   Pros: Well-rounded, medium dexterity (the highest among Hib's healing classes), medium strength Cons: Medium dexterity, medium strength Well-suited for: Anything they can be except Mentalists Avoid: Mentalists More info Elf   Pros: High intelligence Cons: Pointy ears, lower dexterity than Lurikeens, low strength Well-suited for: Any caster Avoid: Blademasters or Champions More info Firbolg   Pros: High strength, high empathy Cons: Low dexterity, low quickness Well-suited for: Heroes and Blademasters Avoid: Bards or Druids More info Graoch (Minotaur)   Pros: Cows, high strength, high constitution Cons: Low dexterity, low quickness Well-suited for: Heroes, Blademasters, Maulers Avoid: Wardens More info Lurikeen   Pros: High dexterity, high quickness, good intelligence, the smallest Hib race (hard for enemies to target) Cons: Low strength, low constitution Well-suited for: Any caster, stealthers, Heroes that specialize in blocking Avoid: Heroes that do not specialize in blocking More info Shar   Pros: High constitution (the highest in Hibernian races) Cons: Lower dexterity and quickness than a Celt Well-suited for: Heroes Avoid: Mentalists and Rangers More info Sylvan   Pros: High strength, high intelligence Cons: Slightly lower dexterity, low quickness Well-suited for: Valewalkers and Animists Avoid: Heroes More info Thanks to Angrymother (Warden), Barandix (Valewalker), and Stuntez (Champion) for helping us fill in the characters we didn't have!

Le0 posted:great guide As angry muppet said, a Bard is a great character to have in a duo since you get some buffs (just not as many as Druids), power/endurance/speed songs, heals, mez spells, and their new heal proc buff. It really depends, though. concerned mom posted:Brilliant guide! I'm thinking of duoing too, and was thinking Enchanter / Mentalist for the PVE focus shield and mana regen buff with HOTS. The Mentalist doesn't get Resurrection though do they? Nope, Mentalists can't rez, and the other issue you might face there is that you would be lacking buffs to cast on your pet to help it tank. That's not the worst thing in the world, but a consideration. As for mana, it's really not a problem any more. In fact, I'd say the problem with mana now is that it doesn't run out fast enough. In RvR, casters have insane DPS, and these days with power regen mythirians and other goodies a caster can nuke for ages before running low on power. Scro posted:so what side do people mostly play on (goon wise)? I used to play on Mordred but I'm keen to jump in and try this again. I played a shaman and it was a bit of fun. So far most of us have ended up playing Hib, and we're using my oldschool guild as a goon guild. Last night we had a little RvR group going while several other players were leveling their characters in the BGs. There's certainly goon activity on Hib. Bards have it easy these days. Any instrument now can play any song, and you can have two songs playing at once without having to twist. It's pretty nice! ggschmitty posted:Oh man, just reading this thread makes me nostalgic for RvR. It is so hard to resist! I had a RR8 Bard on one of the old classic servers but I can't even remember any of the account information... EA Support was not a very big help either. But from the sounds of it you can get 1-50 in no time and I always did want to try a Druid. EA Support? What's that? It really is easy to get to 50 now, and the only thing you can't buy these days would be realm points. It's nice to start out with toons that have a decent realm rank, but RR5 comes pretty quickly so it's not a huge deal. Plus, as more goons hit 50 and get templates done, we can run guild groups more often.

concerned mom posted:Hmm so Chanter / Ment possibly isn't the best anymore. Chanter / Bard? Druid? Help Chanter/Bard is a great combo. The bard will have power song, heal song, heal proc, heals, and buffs to assist the chanter. Having a buffbot and a mentalist to go with that just makes the group even more powerful. Scro posted:Okay I've got another 1.5 gig of updating to go. My brother and I will be rolling. I'll probably play a bard and he's going to be an eldritch. How do we go about getting in touch with you guys? If you roll a Hib, your best bet is to /who Cult and message anyone in the Cult of Nyarlathotep guild for an invite. Two things to remember: 1. New characters start in the newbie Tir na Nog Adventurers guild, so use the /gc quit command to leave it 2. You need to be in the same region as whoever is inviting you, so you may need to port out of the Tutorial Zone, BG, etc. to get the invite.

Fishy Joe posted:Thinking of making a bard. Couple questions though: Can I level to 50 solo as a bard, and what tree should I dump my points in to level the quickest. Also does it matter which Ywain I roll on to hop in the Cult? Getting to 50 solo as a bard is a bit slower. You'd have much better luck if you had groups when doing the quests. It would be possible, though, to do it solo, assuming you have the patience. As for which Ywain, it really doesn't matter, though houses on Ywain 1-3 tend to be harder to find, so I'd suggest picking a Ywain server with a higher number. Many of the Culties are on Ywain6. Kazvall posted:Chanter/Ment still kicks rear end. Don't listen to these fools! I thought the new npc buffs transferred to pets? You can always spec enhancement for pets buff as secondary. Chanter/Ment is awesome, but the buff issue had to be pointed out. We duoed Bard/Chanter most of the way to 50 and it worked really well. Plus, the AE mez can be quite helpful. I don't think realm buffs apply to Enchanter pets, though I could be wrong. Also, you'd ideally put most of your points into the Mana spec as an Enchanter, so you'd barely have any buffs for your pet from the Enchantments spec line. boho posted:So what's the Hib (offensive) caster that's in best shape right now in terms of RvR? Eldritch? Jessant pretty much hit it on the head. Elds and Ments are awesome, and Chanters and Animists can be very good. The only weak link is the Bainshee, and I have to wonder how long it will be before Mythic gives them some love.

tawal posted:I left Morgan le Fay when Gaheris launched and played there mainly, up until about 2007. Off and on since then. I really think the PvE in DAoC is wildly underrated, even though it isn't on par with other, current-style MMO PvE. It's just unfortunate that every encounter in the game can be done with 2 pet spam classes + zerg, with no thought at all required. Yeah, some of the PvE in DAoC is really neat, or at least has a neat environment. I also enjoy figuring out the tricks to the various encounters. It may result in being able to kill some huge purple mob with two people, but to me that doesn't really matter. Relentless posted:I also remember a dungeon in north hib somewhere for mid levels, 25ish maybe, that had giant crabs in the bottom. Infinite giant crabs. Two days spent killing giant crabs. Sounds like the Koalinth Caverns. I spent a bunch of time in there in the early days on my Blademaster. I really wanted a sword that supposedly dropped in there. I never got it. peak debt posted:Just for laughs, can anybody who still plays this game tell me whether they have balanced Shadowblades vs. the other rogues by now? I'd say that the assassin classes are pretty well balanced against each other, and that it really comes down to either skill or just having the right timers up (I hate the latter part). Assassins versus everyone else, though... it's pretty broken. My nightshade can basically kill anything if I'm not dumb. Luckily for many players, I can be dumb quite often in fights.

I corrected the item name in my post. GearBunny's database has it with the wrong name and I never bothered to fix it. :P By the way, would any 49+ like to work on the dragon quests this weekend or soon? It would involve killing a bunch of stuff in Sheeroe Hills, killing the Glimmer Prince, and then killing the adolescent dragons. After that, it's a simple matter of killing the 3 big dragons (one from each realm) in a row, though I don't know if we'd attempt that quest right away. Doing this line of quests gets you prepared for the Dragon Myths and Legends quest which has dragon mythirians as a quest reward, and that quest is repeatable.

tawal posted:Any times set for the quest runs? I am definitely interested in doing them on Eldritch and buffbot, but have to work tonight. I haven't done them before, though- are there any solo steps that need to be completed beforehand? Unless something crazy changes, we'll start this at 2PM Eastern tomorrow (Sunday, Feb 19). We'll meet up in Innis Carthaig (port to Connla then take a wyvern from the Stable Master to Innis). There are no pre-reqs for this raid. This is what we're working on: http://darkageofcamelot.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Mythirian_Requirements My goal is to get through number 4, but we may try 5, depending on how things are going. Bring mana potions or other gear/items you think you may need for the raid.

Combo posted:Goon RvR highlight of the night: Finding a group of 25+ stealthers. I'm going to have nightmares about that for weeks. Stealth zergs are usually about 10 or less. That hill was COVERED with Alb scouts. COVERED. Besides the whole dying thing, it was a remarkably surreal experience. The sound produced by the shear number of archers plinking our group was quite interesting. Yikes.

In case anyone's interested, we are thinking about doing either a Darkspire or Galladoria raid this weekend. There may also be another Summoner's Hall raid soon, in addition to more RvR. Good times!

Shux posted:DAOC has one of if not the best and fastest PVP combat systems in place when it was peaking and honestly it probably still is the best even though not many people play it. I think the "slow combat" argument comes from experiencing it at low level, when it is painfully slow. At level 35+, however, DAoC's combat is second to none in terms of speed and complexity. And that's a good thing.

We used to call that the PB (Pillbox). So many good fights happened near AMG and the PB. ggschmitty posted:All of the mobs are still there - but different keeps are entirely empty and where the map indicates a relic village there is nothing. I forget which one this was (maybe scaith?) but it had guards and working gatekeepers, and at the top, a portal to DF. Unfortunately the portal didn't send us to old DF but oh well. That would have been Dagda or Lamfhota based on the guard formation and having the inner door/keep. I loved the old relic keeps. They always produced epic battles.

ded posted:So with the free 14 days for returning players do they charge your CC before or after that expires? As far as I know it charges your card once the 14 days are up if you leave the account subscribed. You can activate the 14 day, immediately cancel the account, and still be able to play out the 14 days.
