hmm yes it might look like I meant that ...

But what I was talking about was people that leave and then feel it necesarry to flame the game they played for 3 years for weeks or even months after they left it... Because it becomes so obvious that trough their flames all they are trying to do is convince others in a hope that that way they might one day convince themselves as well.

I have no problem with people "enjoying a forum after leaving the game" ... as far as it's possible to enjoy this place in the first place lol.
haha shan you nutter...
i sit at an office around 8 hours a day with nothing to do, i write maybe 2 replies a week or something ;) besides you know how i feel and yes, i dont like catacombs but that has nothing to do with me quitting/leaving, its a matter of opinion :p if i hated the game all along i wouldnt have spent 3 years playing, and besides you know a great deal about how i feel about daoc pros and cons.
i only spill dripple anyways, i wouldnt think very hard about what i write if i weren't me, which i am so i actually view it as the absolute truth. anyways, shared my catas experince so QQ more n00b, i dont praise U2 either cuz i think they suck but since i havent found a flamable U2 board (not that i care either) all my flaming and positive input is something you just have to deal with :p
besides, all my accounts, euro and US are open, but the fact that i havent logged on once since i decided i didnt have time to play, should be proof enough that i dont need to convince myself to leave as it just sorta happened. (this is where i could get personal, but Shans too fluffy to do that)
whats with you flaming me anyways? :D Shaddap or I WILL bug you horribly on msn

I agree to what Roshia said.

After mostly soloing my skald to 50 (which took 1.5 weeks due to the insane exp) with Catacombs quests and dungeon tasks, I haven't visited the Cata areas since. Yes, there are new "cool" dungeons like Dark Spire etc but the items there aren't that special compared to the regular high UV drops.

In RvR and big PvE raids the Cata models are very laggy, tho look nice. These days I use ToA for RvR and don't see the need to use Cata at all.

About the quests:
The NPCs have a yellow circle if there's a quest available and there are Explorer NPCs that give info if certain areas have quests available. Also the pop-up screen where you either accept or decline the quest, shows the lvl or lvl range.

Catacombs is a nice expansion for exping purposes and if you decide to roll one of the op'd expansion classes (Warlock, Vampiir, Bainshee).

So if you like 'fluff', go for it :)

I'd flame you back but I don't understand a word you said here ... but since you said I'm fluffy twice I'm gonna asume that that was the general point of your post. :wub:

And you need to bug me on msn more you're one of the few people that isn't boring on that list :p

My experience is different.
I have a good machine at work (3GHz HT processor, SATA HD, 1GB ram, 256MB FX5900 graphics card) and an average machine at home (2.2GHz Athlon, 512MB ram, 128MB FX5600 graphics card) and I get no or little lag on live servers or our test server even with all the effects and models turned on. To be fair I don't do a lot of RvR on live Catacombs servers but I have been in heavily populated areas with no serious problems.

Just wanted to add that this is total bullshit. You can't RvR with that machine in a zerg with Catacombs models, all effects turned on. You prolly sat in your fucking jewel avatar model alone out in Gwyddneau or something xD

The targetting problem was a bug that was fixed recently. It isn't present on our test server and only appeared on US servers when 1.74 went live. I've not noticed any problems since.

Once again total bull. Bull, bull, bull.
Targetting aint fixed, Mythic threw out some crap about them fixing it, but as active sorc I can tell you that targetting aint fixed at all.

Now I remember why you were the only player ever to make my /ignore list.
Why would I lie? I don't get lag using that configuration. Sorry if you take that as a personal insult but it's the truth,

Why the need to insult requiel cedrik? he's a great gm and only saying from his experience how the game runs, he states he hasn't rvred much too which i think any pc would see lag on if it was a mass keep seige or something.Doubt i will play catacombs, played daoc inside out now though i hope you all have fun playing it, seems great for new players.

Aye, might actually be less of a grind and new people might actually be able to find groups due to new classes starting at lvl 1 :eek:

For Requiel: My comp has almost same stats and yours, and rvr'ing with catasmodels on + all effects on is not a nice experience. I feel the game goes into a state of almost permanent slowmotion as soon as models+ best visual is turned on.

For Shanaia: Makes me sad you would think of me as a person that sees rvr as the only thing fun in game :( You know I pve loads and you know I enjoy pve :/


For everyone: I was not trying to dish out all bad about catacombs, I was just trying to tell what my experience was. And my experience is that if you want to lvl toons catas is a great expansion, if you have the toons you want already, then I don't think it is worth it :)

Insults or not really Reqi my man. I play on Us myself and the targeting is totally retarded. I play tank mostly and I have to spam them buttons on mouse. as primary mezzer its more less impossible to land a mez.

So I doubt that it works perfect for you when no one over at lancelot can target even decent.

Good nite :)

Few months later, when everyone's whining about the fucked up targetting on EU servers aswell, still wanna say I'm wrong and you're right?

Honestly why do they even hire GM's that doesnt have a clue about one of the most important elements in the game, RvR? Always some pve roleplayer guy that thinks RvR is about defending the honour of King Arthorius of Camelot.

I must admit... i also have a big problem with targeting issues atm, its been like it for a couple of months now atleast.
You have to click perfectly on your target or you cant target him atall!
Definately needs looking into though as i thought it was implemented on purpose for some reason.

Targeting got changed so you need to target and release button really fast otherwise no target.

And when panning you can click forever without getting targets.
