Some rambling. Put your feet up and get a nice cup of coffee.
I was checking on Camelot Herald and looking to see if anything juicy was in the pipeline.
Now before I go any further, Mythic said well in advance of ToA that 1.66 and 1.67 would be mainly ToA fixes and not a whole lot else. So no reason to get upset, they're doing exactly what they said they would.
But...
There's that little selfish part of me that is jumping up and down saying Class adjustments PLEASE! RvR Expansion proper info PLEASE and all the other bits and pieces we look for when we want to take a peek into Euro DAoC's future.
I think we feel it here in Europe more than anywhere else in the DAoC gameplaying world because we are that bit further behind than anyone else so more anticipation builds up while we wait.
I do smile though, the virtual mortar is still wet on most people's houses but though fun, Foundations is a fluff add-on which doesn't really affect gameplay to a huge degree (though it was never meant to).
So we want stuff that deals with the bit of the game that affects us most, our character classes. And it is selfish. Lets face it we all look at these things and might say it benefits this class or that class and helps game balance but when it comes down to it we want to see our own little piece of DAoC that we play, ie our own class, getting love and attention with the bits and pieces that annoy us getting fixed.
And at the back of ours minds secretly we all have "please please please make the toon I already have to 50 uber thanks"
Sometimes we justify it by saying "I'm the paying customer I *deserve* to have this see to! Pronto!" when often its about finding a way for our own class to gain advantage over other classes and ignoring the whole ying-yang thing where if you get to be uber, someone else is going to have a bad time, basically putting your playing pleasure on an order of importance above someone elses.
Well, ok, I'll never be uber. But hey, just once it would be nice to walk down the road to Castle Excalibur solo firing lightning bolts out of my ass with laser beam eyes and Junior converted into a massive dragon with puppy dog eyes. Not sure why the puppy dog eyes, it just seemed like a good thing to say. Maybe Gorgon eyes would be better. Would certainly be fun. For me anyway
