A new Battleground.....

[Zarek Excalibur]

/Dream mode on

For those who have come from a FPS background, Have proberbly at one time come across the mod "Rocket Arena" for the games in the quake serious. This is a MOD that enables 2 teams too fight against each other, over a serious of rounds. To win a round you have too eliminate everyone on the oppsosing team. Then everyone would be teleported too start the next round, With full health / abilities etc.

Would be nice too have a battleground, where somethign similar happens. U are limited too X amount of people per team. And basically your guild can join a queue too get onto the battleground. And is played "winner" stays on sort of thing

The inner realm dueling thats coming up in 1.54 or whatever.. Sound fun. But too me its always more rewarding 8v8 fights or whatever the team number be.

The Fact that currently in RvR... Its pure luck too get a balanced fight. And even when u do get lucky.. One side always had too release. And it maybe another few days b4 u get that kinda fight again.

I guess im not much of a role player And miss some of the MODS in FPS games, which kinda could be fun here..

i keep playing q3 from time to time instead of dreaming

i lost all q3 skill cause of daoc, BUT Rocket arena was a very good mod even for duels or teamplay. Same idea in daoc sounds fun but......like we EVER gona get it

I used to be quite a good quake 2 player. Played rocket arena too, which was fun ( ; But a good fps needs good maps, and I don't think current DaoC maps qualify for that.

DaoC's melee system doesn't really fit into the Rocket Arena concept imho. Bolts and arrows would be nice ( ;

But when I think about a DaoC conversion to a fps game, I come to the conclusion that I'd rather just play a real fps game and keep DaoC as it is ( ; I did a game of UT2003 the other day, and was glad to see my fps skills weren't as rusty as I thought

Indeed we all dream of the perfectly balanced fight, and when they happen they are great, but if we could do them really often would they be as fun?
I dunno, but i sure as hell would love to try

This isnt a FPS

This is a teamplay building game

In fact it is a teamplay building game for working in RL

So this is RL

Yeah i still know my first thought when i started playing daoc: "damn strafing sucks here"

I still play some odd quake3 games when i'm bored or can't find a group

GOA are trying to implement something similar to this for the battlegrounds - took part in a test a few weeks ago. It was basically a "capture the flag" variant.

2fg from each realm, a demon spawn in the central keep, no keep guards, the idea being to capture (charm) the demon and get it back to your tk - all the while other realms trying to nick the demon off you. Was great fun - hope they do implement this.
