Might start leveling a Midgard character soon, haven't played DAOC in forever and I never really played it at high levels. I'd have to read up a lot about game since I don't remember much. But been interested in Phoenix server for awhile and want to level a class or two up. How long does it take to level 1-max level & gear up to compete in ORvR?

I played a kobold Shaman before so I'd be down to level one, Runemaster too. Skald is like bard right? Also would like to play something that isn't like the most vitally important in 8v8, while starting out.

PvP event was fun as hell, seen literally everyone say how much fun it was/lot of people re-downloaded or starting playing again like myself. They should do something like that one weekend a month or something. Wish I had another day to grind out characters on I was busy Friday/a little bit of Sunday, now I'm clueless what to do to keep grinding. I got 30 Shaman as highest right now and scattered other lvl15's Eldritch/Savage/Healer.

Yeah I tried spamming LFG channel with 'lfg xp' but there seemed to be like 3 other lvl30-35 Shaman's doing the same and I never got a response anyways. I'd imagine lot of people have 30-40 level characters from the event, kind of pissed I didn't get higher level. Should I be fighting green con mobs solo? Few people said I can DoT kite mobs for xp to level, so I'm gonna probably follow mob leveling guide I found for Midgard and try that- I imagine I go full Cav spec and just disease-root-DoT-nuke-kite or something.

Cool, I hope they run another event this month maybe for holiday again. edit; assload of Shamans on. I got Healer to 11, Savage to 15, Runemaster is real low but I might want to play that the most. I'll level class on Hib too, Eldritch is 15 but I guess the other Enchanter or Mentalist are the better bombing/damage spellcasters which is what I'd like to do. Would like to get 2 50's to 8v8 on. knox fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Dec 2, 2020 |

Yeah that's why the PvP event was the poo poo, constant 5man fighting to easily get back into the game. Playing Healer was lot of fun, but wasn't sure what determined whether I got mezz off on someone before they did on me. Hard to determine range without indicator & I would be casting first but sometimes get mezzed anyway. I'll level Savage as melee character but dmg caster/ heals are definitely more fun. edit; on Phoenix discord from Uthred yesterday: "plans atm are: relic and gtaoe changes and christmas (and maybe a brand new pve event)" So next PvP event going be Christmas week/weekend. We should get a proper guild up on Mid/Hib or something, if there's a handful of us. I'm gonna make sure I maximize time leveling and take a class or two to 50. If anybody wants to group up you can find me in the Return of Reckoning goon discord. knox fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Dec 2, 2020 |

There should be another PvP event during Christmas week/weekend so anybody interested in playing or getting back into game should re-download and get on during it to power level a class or two to 50. By time event happens hopefully I'll have Healer at 50 and something else close, leveling is really fast in XP group and with the quest turn ins/+bonus xp on certain mob types. edit; scratch that no PvP event till next year, will be a PvE event or someshit unless something changes hopefully it does. Come grind camp pull mobs OG MMO style with me to 50. knox fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Dec 5, 2020 |

Beach Party posted:How fast is the XP gain in this? Going to take a few weeks of playing to get to big boy PvP or is it pretty quick? I was lvl 11 on Wednesday night when I got home from work, I was level 42 by Friday night. That was about 7-8 hours of grouping up and pulling mobs at a camp. So it's very fast if you are in a group, or if you have a good soloing class. Err downloaded it too, we can form group and level quick, eventually RvR at 50.

Me and Err just did TG epic dungeon raid earlier on Mid, I've been doing them all week for event and pumping the feathers. For some reason I chose to go Pac Healer as first character to learn game/8v8/small man etc, playing for first time since Catacombs. We are going to level some Hibs too (Mentalist & Enchanter probably) so we can group with Kazvall's enchanter. If anybody wants to make a Mid character we got healer and shaman covered so play literally anything and group up. I'd level a Savage or some melee on Mid, just to have different classes for totally different playstyles. knox fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Dec 20, 2020 |

I sold 40k feathers earlier for 10plat though so whatever, you get like 30k out off the raid which I guess I won't be doing anymore with work and the 7pm EST guy canceling the rest of them probably because afkers like Atlienz  gang

Anybody thinking about playing DAOC again, they're going to make the Proving Grounds PvP event a monthly thing pretty much. Has to be a new lvl 1 character with no XP, and you can port to the Proving Grounds zone and group with any other class from any realm, 1-50 + RR5 takes about ~8 hours. https://forum.playphoenix.online/server/announcements/28056-the-letter quote:Long story short. Both Proving Grounds PvP events got amazing feedback and the staff is nearly asked on a daily basis when the next one will happen. As having this event permanently may harm the regular RvR too much, we decided to try something new and will let you, the players, decide by your contribution, when the Proving Grounds will open again for 3 days of PvP mayhem and fast leveling.

Went 1-50 in ~5.5 hours yesterday on Bard with these dudes Next event we should plan a premade and run it 1-50, can stop in-between and finish up next day or something. it sucks to run up against infinite proper comps and hit a wall by constantly dying. Sorc-Bard is OP in the 5man event composition, add one healer and any 2 classes that can remotely do damage and you're good to do 1-50. Without a bard your kind of gimping other slot that could be used for damage since it provides speed-endo-power-offheals-demezz-main CC, I basically just mezzed anything the sorc missed, then demezzed him if he actually happened to lose a mezz fight, SoS speedracer pull out of anything too hot or if there was adds, and off heal if the bard was interrupted. The BM basically just ran around entire time bopping people out of CC to kill. I don't think we died more than 8 times total, and only once 40-50 when we first hit the 40-44 bracket and got ran over by reds. Down to run Sorc for the group, or heal on Cleric/Shaman or something. best composition to me would probably be Bard/Sorc/Mentalist or SM for extra demezz-pet interrupts-3rd offheals or mezz option-nuke damage/ Cleric or Druid / any tank 2nd melee option Bard/ tri-spec Healer with low celerity + mezz/ Shaman for specbuffs-disease-3rd offheals / 2x melee dps knox fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Jan 12, 2021 |

I had a lot of fun playing SM in a premade 1-40, with Sorc/Bard/Druid/Champion/ me SM, but yeah the constant kiting I would have liked to try and run melee train with Shaman replacing Bard and Minstrel or Skald for the speed. tri spec Healer/Sorc/Shaman/Savage or BM / Warrior or Hero would be cool. Could definitely use more CC but if Shaman can demezz well just train everything. I'll run CC or heals or tank i don't care, as long as we premade it.

On Mid I've got a temped Healer & SM, and a broke R5L0 Bard on Hib with no gear that I leveled 1-50 one morning last weekend during the event (with your/@nousername old british DAOC/RoR homies carrying me). Next event should be February 1st or something, since you can make a premade and get to 50 and high RR rank very fast it makes sense to wait until then to go hard leveling wise. I know there's a few more people joining up too so we should have a solid group soon. Err has a SM/Healer/Shaman on Mid as well, so I'd say make a Mid character until event happens and then just level anything. But yeah next event I'm going to try and get at least another 50 Hib (Druid is 34 but probably will delete it to remake for a 1-50 premade, or Hero), and 2 Albs if possible (Sorc/Frair/Cleric). poopsockflipmode next event all 3days knox fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Jan 17, 2021 |

The respecs are free until 50, and I think you get 24 hours of play time/certain amount @ 50 until they start costing 3k feathers for Realm respec / 5k feathers for ability spec. I just spent my first 3k to respec my realm poo poo for Aug, and I had 2 free career respecs left. It will be easier for me to get into pug 8man's as a Aug Healer, every 8man that forms up seems to have their main CC-mezz already invited.

Yeah I've been watching some 8man videos, some stick out more than others. Diving right into the close knit 8man community wasn't something I was trying to do blind as both low RR (still only just hit RR4, and vs. these RR11 8mans it's pretty huge difference). I ran this video at .75 speed to see what he casted & when, need all the help I can get and then some on PacHealer as a newbie to DAOC for the most part. Just respec'ing Aug I checked the second one as well. Not every 8man video out there is worth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qigVAnprpSw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXPdU1DlYLk I love the event because it's nonstop action and is super good practice for positioning/kiting/panning your camera. When rotating my camera to see behind me and kiting, I didn't reset it quick enough at times because a group would spawn in and loving train me when I wasn't looking in-front of me for couple seconds. But yeah event has made me more comfortable for when run 8mans finally (tonight-thisweekend fasho), getting practice for mezz battle, kiting and overall positioning or moving/pushing with teammates.

They tested new mini-event before "The Arena," can port to arena zone and queue up as 8man. Seemed like a lot of fun and something that would be cool to have happen every few weeks or however frequent they end up doing it. Stream from probably the best group during the event, didn't' see them lose once (went 2-1 first one group I think but it's best of 3, and most every queue they got they went 2-0). Alb Tanker is OP right now essentially, though couple of these dudes run Mid groups too and also win all the time (see; other youtube videos I linked above, many of the same players in that 8man are in this 8man from the stream). https://twitch.tv/videos/878788351

Wus suhh dood. I'm going to try and get back into playing regularly again, I have all my money and gear on Mid as 50 Healer/Spiritmaster, also 45 Shaman I need to level. Also got 41 Cleric if anybody wants to group on there.I said come in! posted:This is the kinda DAoC content I like seeing. It's great to see so many people are still playing this. When I started playing however many months ago when I posted in this thread, the population had just gotten larger than the RoR Warhammer private server so I decided to finally play it again. Never had any issues with the population, Mid was easiest to find a group and the 8man community was pretty active on certain days, I've seen like 10+ groups on 8man list regularly. Definitely would like to get into 8man'ing regularly like I wanted to, but Healer is intimidating and even more so playing against people who've played the game forever. I've never truly ran 8man properly or played DAOC for more than few months total but when I played the events in some premades with those type dudes I held my own so that helped. The events are super helpful for positioning I've found, which seems to be hardest aspect people deal with from watching youtubes and twitch. Managing the camera and knowing when to move/finding the people to move with, all while watching for the poo poo you gotta cast/immunity timers/etc it can get hectic.] I have fun in BGs at times too, when it's good fights going on & a decent BG leader. knox fucked around with this message at 23:15 on May 4, 2021 |
