ggschmitty posted:A high regrowth (44+ for best group hot, major, greater, and group heals) warden actually has a lot of tools for healing and if people run bard/druid/warden, the warden takes over most of the healing by playing back field with cure NS, cure group disease, and dropping while druid goes mid and shears/heals/roots etc. My warden is 49 nurt/44 reg/23 shield/10 blades. I barely ever, EVER hit things in PVP unless the druid or bard is getting beat on and then I can side snare or 5 sec stun. I really like playing my druid, though I also think wardens would be fun. Druids just have so many toys for keeping the group alive, plus field buffs, roots, and buff shears. Also, stealing killspam with a well-timed DoT is priceless. Really, though, both classes are great. When it comes to running with the guild, both will be extremely helpful. Squiggoth posted:So I moved my 42 Shaman and 30-something Valkyrie over to Ywain6. Any suggestions for finding good helpful guilds on Midgard side? Or Alb if I poke around there? The community seems very elitist despite this being a fairly old and antiquated game, I kinda figured more folks would be super helpful like the Cult members are. Oh well. Unfortunately, DAoC in general has a lot of that. People always say Hib is the worst, but to me it sounds like an across-the-board problem. Alb might not be quite as bad, since all they do is zerg with anyone willing to follow the leader.

I guess Eldriches nuke better, which, for me, looks better on paper than PBAE damage spells. Enchanters have a couple of new toys, like a shiny new RR5, a single-target root, and some new debuffs. Mana spec is great for PvE and can be decent in RvR, though you might find Light spec a bit easier to pull off in RvR. You get a nice single-target DD with that.

I never tried Uthgard, and I still don't care to. Something about playing on a buggy server emulating a buggy game just isn't appealing. Plus, I can't imagine playing somewhere with an even smaller playerbase. I'm sticking with the official servers.

Geisladisk posted:DAOC's biggest flaw back in the day was the absolutely excruciating grind to 50. For most players it was a project that took literally months. And it wasn't as if there was anything of any interest to do in that time, you were just literally grinding mob after mob after mob. Had they eased the leveling to what it is today at launch, the game would probably have been wildly successful - The PVP at 50 was loving awesome, but I had three or four real life friends try the game and give up at level 20 or something. You know, call me oldschool, but I'm glad that DAoC had painful leveling in the beginning. Games should kick you in the junk until you're sterile, I think. There's too much hand-holding in games today. That aside, I actually had a lot of fun XP grinding back then. I met a ton of fun people, most of whom ended up joining our guild and RvRing with us. Those that didn't were still great friends on the battlefield. Not to mention the laughs that we had from dirt-napping often. Geisladisk posted:Anyway, I dug up a old level 32 shadowblade I have, gonna try my hand at some stealther action. Are two handed PAs still awesome? Can anyone give me any spec tips? To add to what others have said about it already, poisons are really the bread-and-butter for assassins now, so Envenom+LA for damage is probably your best bet. Tsu posted:Just started an Animist named Katapl. I don't know what's going on most of the time. Neither do I, and I started playing shortly after release. Don't worry, though, you'll get used to it. Plus, those of us in the guild are more than happy to help when we're paying attention.Squiggoth posted:Going to bow out of the game. A few things made that decision for me, but mainly the whole "do I really want to pay for this" came up. If it ever goes F2P I'll be on it faster than ever, but until then, c'est la vie. Doh! Well, thanks for joining us for a little while, Squig! When you get the urge again, you know where to find us.

The funny thing is that I'm a pretty die-hard OF fanboy, but I enjoy much of the ToA and later content.

Also, magic resist buffs (druid and warden) are being bumped up a bit for the blue and yellow versions. Sadly, the patch also means that Dun Cult will have to move to a new keep once this goes live.

For anyone who didn't notice already, the Spring quests are back until the 16th! Good luck finding the bunny for the Medal of Honor/Springtime Folly bracer quest. It has been a dirty little ninja hiding on Agramon or just not spawning for a while. Also, Agramon is massively zergy. Even Hibs had a zerg:

Kazvall posted:What did they do? Basically, there are no more relic temples. Each realm holds their relics in the closest two keeps to the border keeps (Ail and Scath for Hib, for example). Those keeps are no longer claimable, but you can still port to them if the towers are owned by your realm. For each of your realm's keeps that your realm owns, a number of high purple guards are spawned in both of those relic keeps. It's like the old frontiers and the keep named relic guards, except now they're called Elite Envoys. So, you have to take those keeps like normal to get the relics of another realm, and now you can't take relics through PoC. I also don't think you can boat any more. You *have* to run it back across Agramon. It sounds like an interesting blend of OF relics with NF, but the population is probably still the biggest problem for DAoC right now.

Holy crap, new patch notes up at http://darkageofcamelot.com/article/version-1113b-comes-pendragon In a nutshell: - Casted resistance buffs now last 30 minutes (even champ ones!), but they're limited to 4000 units from the caster, so stealthers can't rely on those as much. - Resist debuff spells have had their values lowered about 5% so magic damage should go down slightly. - Wardens get a new anti-pet RR5! - Realm buff NPCs now have resistance buff tokens - Lots of tweaks to Champs, Thanes, and Maulers

Evernoob posted:I've been playing GW2, and am still having fun... Probably, though you're going to (unfortunately) need to talk to EA support for it. I think your best bet is to call and explain the situation. Even though email addresses weren't used for the account names back then, the account should still have an email address of yours associated with it, so it would help to have some idea of what it might be when you talk to them. Good luck! It will probably be a bit of a hassle, but worth it to get the account back. If anyone wants to try to organize some night to log on and play (RvR, PvE, whatever) just let me know!

Oh yeah, the new quests (in the classic areas and the battlegrounds) are awesome for getting up to level 50 or whatever your destination level would be. I started a healing warden on Friday and got up to level 29 or 30 last night with just a bit of messing around and tanking with 4 blunt spec. I think I'm also up to 3 or 4 deathblows now, since I'm doing the BG quest lines. As for playing in Midgard, I'm not sure who's playing Mid right now. It seems to be mostly Hib/Alb for goons currently, though we can update the Current Players post if someone is playing Mid regularly.

Holy patch notes, Batman! http://www.darkageofcamelot.com/article/patch-1114b-coming-pendragon In short, assassins can't weapon swap DoT poisons for insane DPS any more, Warlocks can't insta-gib zergs any more, Hib casters now have incredible group synergy around Energy nukes, celerity was revamped a bit, NS and disease timers are shorter, and cure NS is available in some of the BGs with the right spec. Whew. This part of patch 1.114 focuses on class balance, and the whispers in the wind indicate that 1.114c will wrap up this version with some changes to the frontiers to hopefully make things a little different and more interesting. If you're not quite sure yet if you should care about this patch, here are all of the classes that were directly changed: Animist Bard Berserker Bonedancer Cabalist Champion Cleric Druid Eldritch Enchanter Friar Healer Heretic Infiltrator Mauler Mercenary Mentalist Nightshade Paladin Ranger Reaver Runemaster Savage Scout Shadowblade Shaman Skald Sorcerer Spiritmaster Thane Theurgist Warden Warlock Warrior Wizard Valewalker ...which pretty much leaves only a few tanks that weren't directly changed, but will still be impacted by celerity changes and other things. So, you should probably go read the notes at the very least to get acquainted with everything, or go test on Pendragon to see how the changes affect your characters. SoggyGravy posted:Can someone in the OP add how to get a hold of other goons who still play this please? Yes! What would you like to see? As far as contacting goons outside of the game, there isn't much set up yet, so we could look at an IRC channel or something along those lines. As far as in-game, that's just a matter of looking at the post with the names of who's playing and doing /who <name> in your realm of choice.

AN ANGRY MOTHER posted:After the last update ESO is now crashing upon starting. How do I get daoc back in my life for an hour or two every few days. Now the Come Back to Camelot promotion is running, so you could resub and get 13 days of free play as part of the 13th anniversary celebration. If you guys haven't seen the latest news on the Herald, there's a lot going on. New race/class pairings have been enabled. October is all 13th anniversary stuff, including some kind of RvR tournament. There's a new producer for DAoC at Broadsword. And I'm sure there's more to be announced. Due to the anniversary month focus, the 1.116 patch has been pushed out to Nov/Dec, but it looks awesome: The Herald posted:
Also, they intend to introduce some UX enhancements: The Herald posted:
So, overall, Broadsword is definitely trying really hard to keep DAoC alive, and it's great to see. I'd still really be curious about some kind of Origins-like server and other revamps, but addressing the UX would be a huge leap forward. The 13 days promotion is rather tempting...

PriNGLeS posted:Live/DAoC in general has quite literally always been cliquey. If you don't make good impressions on people you never get groups again. Try hanging out in whatever IRC is used/post on postcount. I remember one time just before we took over the Cult with goons where I was invited to group with some guys who definitely had this mentality but needed another DPS. A couple evenings later I was invited back to group with them and someone else in the group on Vent asked "who's this scrub?" or something. One of the guys from the previous group replied, "It's okay! We've grouped with him before."  What none of them knew was this was right after returning to the game after a few years hiatus and I was wearing junk gear with horrible stats and resist holes. If they had, well... People are silly.
