I'm going to be hitting up Live here soon. (Burnt out on Uthgard) Should I abuse trial accounts and run a farm train in the 40-44 BG? 250g per run iirc. Multiplied by 5-6 clients, it's a lot of work but decent cash flow. Or can someone set me up on Hib? Even a low end template is ridiculously expensive. Thinking of making a Hero or a caster. What would you guys recommend?

Combo posted:If you were going to do a farming train type deal you're better off doing glass quests, with speed and dps you can do all 4 stygia quests in about 15 minutes and its about 900g per person for all 4. So 5.4p per run if you do 6 clients. Nice. Didn't know about those. Thanks for the tip. Was probably going to go bard, druid, and a bunch of pbaoe. Would that be effective for those quests? Not sure what they have you do.

nousername posted:I'm waiting for my free 14 days to pop up then I'll be hopping on the official servers I think. Maybe I should try out this custom server? It's more of an SI era server instead of custom. They have a couple of custom zones to make up for the lack of actual SI content, which has been in development for quite awhile. It's a good server, all in all, regular bug fixes, active GM/Dev team. But it is hosted in Germany, and the majority of the population is European. So if you play during North American hours you may find it a bit dead. The population takes a nose dive in the early evening CST.

As far as I know there are no goons playing. I get bored in my high 40s before I cap out of Thidranki (45-49 BG on Uthgard) pretty consistently. And the latency really sucks for me, 240-300 ms. If you're playing mid I can throw you a few plat. Or if I have a character in your level range I might hop on for some xp with you. I have alts on all realms and various levels.

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.

SERPUS posted:How the heck do you even level healing classes on Uthgard? Its being even more painful than trying a caster. You can take most of them to 40 fairly easily solo. Nature spec for a Druid, Smite for Cleric, and Augmentation for Healer. It just takes forever. Otherwise, level a more solo friendly class, and hop on your healer if you see a group going in it's level range. Also play during European times.

No.Mercy posted:Yeah I realize this, but when I'm looking for pvp, I'll start logging in during EU primetime. I don't see why this server has hardly any NA players. Seems like everyone is like, the NA population sucks, so I quit, and that's why everyone quit. Why does classic EQ have more players then classic DAoC? I don't get it. Other than the NA population being abysmal, I think it's mostly because the vast majority of NA players are concentrated on Alb side.

CactarHero posted:Alb is the hard road there, also, given that the classes that are favored so highly by the ruleset they use are Hib (see: rangers). It also doesn't help that relics really, really matter there and the chance of Alb having them are rare. What? Also Tajendi2 is a replacement for Galladoria/Tuscaran Glacier/Whatever the alb one is. It also doesn't take 4 hours. I really don't know how or why you would compare it to ToA.

AN ANGRY MOTHER posted:Are there people to level with? First time I tried Uthgard I quit during the mid 20s when it was just me alone in DF for an eternity. Most solo until the mid 20s or so in every realm. Not to say groups below that don't exist. Being proactive and forming groups with /who will always be your best bet. When I leveled through alb on a friar about 6 months ago groups were easy to come by. The prime time population since then has since increased. (Due to the Camelot Unchained announcement? I guess.) Alb also seems to have the highest concentration of North American players. I'm actually going to try and get back into this, I always end up burning out right around when I get into Thidranki. I'll shoot you a message Kazvall, I doubt I'll need gear, but a guild would be cool. Going to roll a paladin. I'll just need to some how transfer stuff over from Mid if I take this game seriously this time around. I'm sitting on about 150p worth of jewelry on a nicely temped zerker over there.

Shux posted:IS a skald or minst pretty easy to level on Uthgard? Wouldn't mind giving the old school ago again. Skald would probably be easiest in the early/mid levels. It's also extremely beneficial to auto-train a minstrel, so it's super painful to level one without instruments. Also much more expensive to template out a minstrel if you do stick with it. Then there's the whole "minstrel issue" in alb, that I'm sure Kazvall from this thread can confirm, unless Alb has had a massive shift in thought. Minstrels are pretty much not wanted outside of XP groups or maybe stealth groups/duos. Every single Alb group will take a Theurgist over a Minstrel for role of interrupter, and certainly a merc or reaver for DPS. While I wholeheartedly disagree with this view - a well played Minstrel offers stupid amounts of utility to a group - the entirety of the Alb realm does not. Also to Kaz, sorry, I got sidetracked and have been playing Mid again.

Twlight posted:Shouldn't you be out there for secondary CC? a 9 second stun, and a charm? Any alb group not taking a mins is putting themselves at a serious disadvantage. While the Theurgist is a better interrupter, no other class offers speed 6. Well, you would think so. But it has some logic to it, alb groups lose out on a lot of dps bringing in a minst, and a minst is inherently more complex and a lot easier to gently caress up on than say a merc or theurg. Coincidentally albs pull in the least amount of rps every week.

Twlight posted:I assume this is on Uthgard? Albs should never be losing a DPS battle on pure casters, body debuff train is insane DPS when done right. But then again, finding 8 competent people to fill all those positions isn't easy. I did level a mins to 50 on uthgard but I don't remember any of my account information. Yeah, this is on Uthgard. Caster groups really don't work very well on Uth. They tend to just get ran over by the standard group: SoS and charge Tanks. Alb groups will sometimes run a cabalist for nearsight. Likewise for Hibs with elds, and mids with runemasters. A properly played extend group could easily destroy everything it came in contact with. Kazvall posted:You are correct in that a Minstrel is not looked for in a raid group. Everyone is looking for Cleric/Paladin/Theurg/Reaver. This is why I lead my own raids and groups. I have a pretty amazing template using quest/df accessories. Hit me up if you need it! I only autoed to 20 for 50/32/29. I wouldn't mind taking a gander at it, I've had a longing for some kind of stealther on Uthgard for awhile but have just never bothered due to the extreme cost in operating one competitively. That and the fact that rangers exist is extremely discouraging.

I still log in from time to time, but not enough to be considered actually "playing". It's a bit too hard to break in to level 50 RvR (outside of zerg events, or rarely a relic raid). The vast majority of the RvRing population are rr7+, with most sitting between rr10-12. Thidranki can be tons of fun here, though. (It's level 45-49, instead of the old 20-24.) Population also takes a huge dip in NA prime time. Plenty of people PvEing during that time, but jack in RvR. whyidontplaymuch.txt edit: Just took a gander at the news. Thidranki is no more. Highest battleground will be level 42, with a RR cap of 3L0, instead of 4L2 for old Thidranki. I'm now firmly in the boat that the developers of this server really don't understand what it's problems are. PriNGLeS fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Dec 17, 2013 |

Well, this era of daoc is definitely a grind fest, no matter how the end game is. But don't let me dissuade you, the low level bgs are extremely fun, and if you play during euro prime and na/eu overlap times their can definitely be good action. Especially if you're doing it for nostalgia purposes.

Yeah, all the albs I ever ran in to on my zerk were high rr pugs, talking all rr10+, or guild groups. I swear alb has probably 45 rr11 clerics that rvr regularly.

Twlight posted:What's wrong with minstrels for 8v8? I seem to remember that there are almost too many at this point but if your competent you should have no issue. I would also suggest making sure to have both an 8v8 as well as a stealth suit so it opens up your options a bit more. With the changes to epic armor you should be able to set something up fairly easily. He was talking about on Uthgard, not live.

Kazvall posted:Anyone going to be trying this new Classic/SI freeshard? daoc-origins.net I goofed around on it a bit, and I know a lot of people from Myth (uthgard guild if you dont remember) are rolling there, last I heard. A lot of poo poo was full on broken. They must of been working pretty hard to get so much fixed in 2 months. I submitted about 200 item bugs just from playing a few days. Mostly a lot of duplicate issues on different tiers of loot: Hats being pants, for example. I'm not so sure it's in a good place with the re-focus of Eden. It went from standard rvr insta 50 clusterfuck, to level fast and old frontiers. It's been seeing a pretty sizeable population. And as of this very moment it's surpassed Uthgard. I've never seen Origins crest 50 players. I'll definitely give it a spin, though. I'm down for any realm. There is going to be a billion bonedancers. Despite my negativity, I sure as hell hope it succeeds, an even playing field on a classic/si shard will be so loving nice. gently caress rr11s forever.

Kazvall posted:I saw about 110 players on Origins for the closing of open beta. I'm not so interested in Eden. It's Darkness Falls for PvE(I believe non-pvp, you can cross-realm group) and only Emain/1-2 Battlegrounds for Pvp. Origins is a full classic server with SI. I have high hopes it turns out alright. Starting fresh on a new server could be a lot of fun. Especially since it's OF/Old RA's/1.62 patch, including necromancers and real bonedancers. I plan to play a Shadowblade and a Shaman. Are they allowing dual-logging there? I'd kind of like to play Hib, to be honest. Mid is good too. Old RA's I'd probably play a heavy tank. 75% on det5 is awesome. And yeah, I'm not interested in Eden, either. It's a cobbled together mess, still. http://web.archive.org/web/20031206055110/www.camelotherald.com/realmabilities/
