DEAD THREAD: ARIIIIIIIIISE

Eden Season 2 has been announced and given a date!

This is a first in the freeshard community.

On August 5, 2023:

Everybody's characters get reset to level 1.
IF you are level 50 or RR 2L4, you keep your realm points.
They continue the original ratcheting RR cap. So you have to get 50 again on the same char, but your RPs are there and as the weeks go on, you'll ratchet back up until you're the same RR you are today.

on August 6:
We go into a S2 beta phase where you can do instant 50 with free gear and
NEW FOR S2:
A bunch of more interesting PvE
Bainshees, Heretics and Valkyries are added.

So, if you think this is interesting at all but never got into it, or if you never got high RR the first season, now is the time to jump in.

(and if you play hib, I and my buddies can help you out)

Would you say it's worth playing 10 days in? How's it looking population wise?

beta's pretty quiet, come roll an i50 or two to check out new classes but actual launch will be lot bigger.

Eden season 2 starts on Saturday. theyve done a tremendous amount of work on the server and it runs great now. We ran a 'realm invasion' event this weekend where alb/mid bashed on hibernia until we got into the pve zones. The king kicked our rear end but the mids eventually dropped him

here's us getting the drop on hibs from one of the town towers

and here's us defending one of the OF keeps with all the bombs (look at my chat window lol)

INSTEAD I AM GOING TO WHINE ABOUT IT IN OTHER THREADS SO MY OPINION CAN FEEL VALIDATED IN AN ECHO CHAMBER I LIKE

Started up on Eden, haven't played this game since a few months after release but having fun leveling a hib ranger, I've gotten to 29 and been kind of flailing around a bit but in one of the SI zones now trying to quest/level.

Game is fun, though I feel like rangers are much different than I remember.

Really thought Phoenix 2.0 would be up and running months ago, at this point I'm thinking about potentially starting couple Eden characters to level.

literally everybody is yeah. I'm in with a strong alb guild (golden lions) with a bunch of bros i've played with for a few years now and we're humming all right. Alb is underpopulated, so if you want a tougher fight but more glory and don't have a preference otherwise, come hang.

Started on eden on Hib as a ranger, seems like the vast majority of people are playing mid. Got my feet wet though and I mostly remember how to play.

I can jump on alb though, how does scout compare to ranger?

Don't you realize that being nice just makes you get hurt?
Yeah that’s my real question.. what’re the BG leader vibes on the realms atm? I always have the itch to play, but it gets real tedious when the one person the Zerg follows ends up being a major man child about it.

The reality is I’d love to never Zerg but I also don’t expect to find a consistent 8man stack to play with so is an actual problem. I am tempted to make something on alb before the season gets to far in but haven’t decided on what caster yet.

yeah, polemo's still driving mid. on alb we have a couple of leads and folks are kind of rotating out lead as not everybody can poopsock. Pilz runs hib still.

if you want a challenge come to alb. we are the underdogs but so far i've had great times both in discord and game

basically even except you trade dual wield for slam. which is lmao. slam -> power shot in the face is pure comedy

hunters are pretty threatening. they get a diseasebot pet and you can't really win a 1v1 vs one that knows how to play it

Cool, I'll jump over there in the next few days, have been having a bit of fun with RvR on hib side, alb/hib seem fairly even from population counts that I've seen but mid def has a 5-10% lead at any time.

Also, lol about the slam thing, that seems insane, I do enjoy CD but slam is just so powerful.

Only up to 25 or so on alb, someone did buy out my 1plat exchange so I was able to knock out getting 1100 for max salv/trink

I'll hopefully be 50 by the end of the weekend or early next week.

I've only ever played Ranger before, I'll probably level a caster at some point later to give something else a shot.

Any opinions on guilds? I'll be looking to run basically everything 8m/zerg/pve

Got an Alb wizard up to mid 30's now. Mostly just solo, if not in the bg's. I think I am starting to remember how to play now : p Tried a few diff classes here and there, not 100% sure on the wizard but it is pretty ok. Still kinda casual and I dont really plan on socking it, but so far it is fun. Wizards name is Kakan, would be happy to hangout or join some guild as long as its laidback and cool.

I'm not a wow goon, so I can fit in with normal people and not be a raging shitbag, I'll keep an eye out for you when I'm on, looks like you're dunkleric?

So much poo poo on here is new to me, I only played for like the first 6-9 months after launch with an EQ PVP guild, never got to see SI and so much poo poo is different than what I remember, it's also been 20+ years so that could have something to do with it.

I wouldn’t call any daoc class ‘good at soloing’ other than a skald because they’re the only speed class that can routinely dunk on other fools roaming around solo. I also don’t value 1v1 PvP in this game fwiw so I’m super biased. Probably necromancer or heretic on alb, or scout if you want a stealth.

necro is severely OP 1v1, anybody dumb enough to engage them solo deserves the trip back to relic town

champ and skald probably strongest solo but i know soloers of many classes that make them work

people that insist on soloing in daoc are either masochists, adepts, or a combo of both. even if you are somehow godlike in your abilities you will constantly get rolled by zergs/8mans/smalls. if you can tolerate that more power to you. seriously.

Example: high rr solo wizard on Celestius used to just fly over a hill and bolt the small man area. Hilarious and effective but the playstyle was super kamikaze.

There was a reaver that was a holy terror though, could 1v3+ depending on small comp and rr.
