This game is dead, but at least some backers got to play a concept piece. That's more than some kickstarters I guess.

It depends on how many classes there are. WAR had the benefit of keeping roles functionally similar across factions. DAoC was not well managed in that regard. I recall Albion needing like 6-7 people to be completely functional, whereas Midgard needed 5 and Hibernia needed 3-4. I wasn't aware GW2 had class fatigue in RvR. Does zerging not make up for their deficiencies anymore?

Fauxtool posted:this was not at all my experience. maybe you played on a lovely server with lovely players. No caps on AE targeting, debuffing their own damage type, and the long cooldowns that could be resisted were definitely a thing in Shrouded Isles. Realm ranks gave the purge skill and iirc everyone got one pretty early. It didn't matter though since hibs and mids spam AE stun/mez over and over and purge reset your worn-off resistance bonus so you'd just be mezzed right after using. The skill to break down doors was from Thaumaturgist, but I never heard of that bug. The skill was on like a five minute timer and did the equivalent of one or two battering ram hits. As a wizard I took advantage of the AE targeting a lot. Imagine a mile gate with 50+ people holed up in the room above the gate, all I had to do was find line of sight through a window, target one person and just light up the inside like a tinder box  I recall hibernia's enchanter and eldrich classes as having debuffs that matched their damage types. I think albion's wizard got an earth debuff, but earth was not a good spec as it only had a ground target AE and lackluster everything else.

If it isn't pedos, it's usually the hardcore who can't find enough goons to do end-game content with. Inevitably they become goonfuckers/whiny babies who announce loudly they are leaving for a much cooler and more skilled raiding guild than goons, because what they really wanted was the sweet sweet differently-colored pixels over their misshapen human-like digital body and not just to hang out and have fun.

The only consistently good thing with goonionism is having a shared stash and everyone throwing away things they don't need into the stash. It sometimes overflows with garbage but newbies appreciate garbage.

Bait and Swatch posted:Their vision for building/crafting seems pretty good: http://youtu.be/NPQh2Bm3NbE I was worried this was going to be that horrible voxelmancy poo poo EQL turn into, but a related video showed a much simpler means of construction. However, did anyone stop to think players would just make their own crafter alt so they can make their own house instead of pay another person to do it? Like come on, you're not fooling anyone into thinking crafters are going to earn a virtual income.

Bait and Swatch posted:You don't think players who focus primarily on crafting/gathering in MMOs can pull a profit of in-game spacebux? There's a difference between crafting and harvesting. Very few MMOs let you make a profit from crafted materials. All of the money is in harvesting. If this game's crafters are also harvesters, they'll make money just fine. Unless homes are being burned and armor is being torn away at a high rate, crafters will be a thing you switch to when the main force already has enough guys to defend/attack stuff.

Drop the ground foliage and use a brighter/saturated green, you've got the old hibernia frontiers right there.

Third World Reggin posted:I am a nerd for good map design and the farther it gets from thidrankii from daoc the worse they tend to be.  Caer Caledon wasn't bad, either. Remember when they added free 20's and 30's? They thought that would help realm balance, but all it did was let us play in the battlegrounds whenever we wanted. Great for trying out new classes and other realm's classes. It just goes to show how much of a love/hate relationship we have with level gating.

I have yet to find a point for off-site forums that don't have that metagame element EvE has. Sometimes there's useful information but not something you couldn't eventually find in a wiki somewhere or in the game thread itself.

Kimsemus posted:Depends on how the classes shake out and what people want. I'm VERY partial to Arthurians based on how I think racials are gonna stack up but that's just purely my conjecture. If it's anything like DAoC, Arthurians will be the "good side", meaning it will come with all its positive and negative stigmas. It will be where goons end up half a year after release when the viking goons get sick of being the

Flavahbeast posted:skald/minstrel/bard were pretty popular in daoc because the only mounts in the game were taxis so runspeed was a huge deal, also skalds did some decent burst damage iirc Minstrels could whip out a little cc and also sneak! Surprise ae sleep was hilarious in battlegrounds and I could sometimes pop a stealther before they open up.

Another problem will be with pretty princess dress-up. They have to model for over a dozen different body types while also keeping some semblance of uniqueness for each faction. That was a lot easier 14 years ago with less polygons to work with and half the races being human anyway, and I recall hardly having anything fashionable besides dyes and the class epic armor, which was not dyeable.
