There is no game like DAoC yet!

[Glacier]

Been thru most the MMORPG's there is.
even stopped by some old ones, and some weird MMORPG from sega, that was made for PC and Sega something at the same time.. has 4 keys :|

Even gave WoW a good chanse, got to 60, tried past that some, and realised it was all for nothing.

Guild Wars was the best PvP ive had apart from Daoc, but the control system, and depht, just wasnt there

Daoc has, and will do it for me, until it passes away. or something better comes along (still on the lookout ^^)

You havent clicked refresh since 2004? Don't know if thats cool or worrying tbh

lol, it does still stand tho - i have tried many of the last year and they all suk after a short while.

This maybe an uber bumpzor, but its still a valid thread, even after all this time there are still many issues, and indeed more that have come that still need to be looked at. Im sure this thread will be closed with the comment "Gone to play Warhammer" in a years time, which is a shame because daoc is still a clear winner in many respects.

Yeah it is a worthwhile update after nearly 2 years, the amazing thing is that not alot has changed in that time, DAoC still had great potential but is massively under utilised. Can only hope Mythic get Warhammer right.

It's so true. DAOC has no equal when it comes to the things it has to offer - there are some games that have some things that might be better, but none of them offer the complete package.

People complain about everything, but you just gotta look through that - if they really were appalled by the game, they wouldn't play it.

Class balance is indeed a tough cookie, and one that cannot really be 'fixed' to everyone's desire. It will be that one part of the game will have dominance over the others - and that is not necessarily bad, as long as this situation does not become stale. Mythics continued patching (regardless of people whining about them - me among them) continually swing the balance.

Everyone has their moment of glory.

Personally, I love the way DAOC looks. I prefer the realism that was tried to instill into every part of the game. Sure, dragons aren't realy, but it's nice to see one that makes sense, instead of a cartoon attempt at stuff.

DAOC isn't dead, and won't be dead for many many years. And since there's nothing even remotely similar on the horizon, I ain't planning on moving to something better. Because there simply isn't anything that IS better.

I don't get people who went to WoW after toa, saying this because the guy i share a flat with, he started WoW on that reason.

All I see him do now, is raid, raid and raid, and what for? So they can go on to the next highlevel instance and get items that maybe got +5 more in the stats, so they can take on even tougher mobs, imo, it's just /yawn... Seeing as they are beating up mobs 24/7. Have seen him do some pvp tho, but it only lasts for about 15mins then it seems to bore him, and he goes back to pve'ing so he can get the next item... I just don't see the point in getting better items, when you can only use these to take on harder mobs, seeing as the pvp is so dull?

Atleast in daoc, you get the chance to use these items on players, and tho some items gives you an advantage in daoc, it's not like it takes ages to get these, as it seems to take in WoW

its not that daoc was shit or very good. if its the first MMO you played then you will be set in your way about how all other MMO should play, ultimatley meaning they will all seem shit.

the difference between ToA pve and WoW PvE =

TOA:
sit and wait for a spawn for 6 hours, then some ass comes and kills the mobs anyway and tells you to FO

WoW PvE: walk into instance do it, come out, rinse repeat

didnt bother mention the group gathering as thats a pain in both cases

the DAoC pve was awesome though, but after trying out NF (was last year though so might be different now with cluster) my biggest gripe was just lack of people

so off i went to WoW

sometimes you just need new things to see though (and i love the WoW graphics, if you find the right spots its incredibly pretty )

True, but many of us made migrations to other games, with our friends, stuck at them a while and still came back, but I dont think its the fact we have asperations of them being DAoC beaters, its simply that this game has more diverse things to offer, the grind isnt as bad as most, group play is encorouged, the three waring sides makes things a whole more interesting and you dont have to constantly farm for the next item.

Heck even the anti-TOA brigade got their way with a non TOA server, ranged buffs to illiminate the buffbot syndrome, class issues at now getting major revamps and new toys galore.

This games biggest flaw, severe lack of positive advertising, not just in the UK, but all over. TBH both Mythic and GOA had their chances to pull the punters in before WOW, but couldnt be bothered, shame on them!
