I’m planning on hopping on for Eden. I haven’t played DAOC since before the first expansion.

I have a boat load of MMO experience so should be able to pick it back up relatively easily. Is there any class that’s at least passable solo, very desired for groups, but pretty easy to play well?

It’s more about what role you want to do in endgame pvp. Want to heal? Peel (stun and CC melee off your caster)? Be a melee dps? be a caster dps? etc. want the one movement speed buff on your realm? Want cc or damage spells?

The group / pve content is a means to get to endgame and pvp, and most classes have a pve spec and pvp spec you switch into at max level. Often times people will first level a healer as a pve farm alt or a pbaoe (bomb) class for dps in farm groups. The holy Trinity.. kind of exists, but it’s more bombs, healers, a dude with a shield to block for the bombs.

Looking for either Alb or Hib. Mid just doesn’t gel with me for some reason.

Honestly, I’m kinda angling bard/minstrel/whatever it’s called, if my memory serves me right about the role. I think the dream is that I have something really simple to execute that makes me super desirable for grouping, and I get to DPS stuff too, but no matter how bad I am, as long as I bring the buffs, I get patted on the head and they’re glad I’m there.

Very sad. Can’t actually play the game. Downloaded and installed, but got a file path error. It tells me to select the e path manually, and I do but still nothing.

Support on the forum said that I just needed to download the new update, which I did but no change. Restarted, uninstalled/reinstalled, same exact thing. Someone else on the forum is having the exact same issue, but support has not responded in like 5 days.

i saw someone posting in their discord on launch day with this identical issue, it ended up being a VPN issue for them i thought? or something equally as simple.

tons of pins in their tech support channel on discord i'd check through, also the basic: don't put the eden launcher in the daoc folder seemed to trip up a lot of folks so maybe double confirm that? if its asking you for a path that seems to line up

Thanks, I’ll check their discord.

Eden launcher is a separate path completely, and I’m not using a VPN. Hopefully I can get some advice in Discord.
