Beck said:yeah you better enjoy the random fights now cos in a few weeks the crowd will return with lots of new toys!!
Yeah but I think Im better off spending those few weeks getting some RPs on my runie that never gets any otherwise, MLs I can do when the Zergs come back to Emain
Id rather stay out of the ToA areas for now, its way too many ppl there, lag and frustration often follows the overpopulated areas.
Cool thing also, did a /who darkness at primetime, 32 mids
pharm while you can boys and buy your artis Emain atm is awesome fun, grps are usually pickupgroups with 5-8 ppl, and that goes for all realms, so fun fights

I wonder why ToA was even developed in the form it was released.
What was the point in the game initially? As far as I was aware, it was to build up a character for the RvR areas. We went through the rigours of exp (prior to the advent of power levelling) to make our characters stronger, or even simply viable in RvR - I sincerely doubt the majority of people enjoyed the experience.
Why do people play DAoC at the mo? Well, if you're reading these boards, the logical inference would be that you enjoy RvR.
Whats wrong with the RvR part of the game at the moment? Many things I'm sure, but from my viewpoint its too repetitive, theres no variation on what to do / where to go etc., and the strong get stronger while the rest form up to be mown down.
What does ToA offer the RvR player? New shiney weapons for the stronger to kill the weaker with as per usual? A new way for Mythic / Goa to get an extra £20 out of us? A new way for it to be emphasised that the 'lesser mortals' (i.e. those with jobs that can't play all day) need to play more to be competetive? more subscription fees and buying add-ons does have some financial incentice its true..
I guess the point in this rant is - (a) I liked things pre-ToA (b) I resent having to pay an extra £20 just to be able to play the way I did pre-ToA (shiney weapons & or not, RvR will be the same - RA tweaks don't need an expansion pack to be incorporated into the game) (c) If Mythic actually cared about their players, they would have done something to the RvR area of the game in the last 2 years we've been playing.

I both hate and love ToA. I love it when it goes well and you achieve something with a small and nice group, I hate it when there are lots of whine and zerging mobs which aren't meant to be zerged (ML2.10).
I think that the game should have been like ToA is in the beginning of Daoc, classic daoc was boring (I only played Midgard there), SI was a crap expansion only some new quests and uber-items. ToA got some nice quests, ML's are quite fun if they run smooth and you have a good group, Artifcats well.. pain to first level your char, then your master levels and then your artifacts.
One thing is certain atleast: ToA is the most fun PvE I've had in my daoc history (except for maybe my uber Midgard SM exping PBAE group), but I wish I had a more groupfriendly class to play (Theurgist, Cleric or Paladin) but since I don't have a FG RvR guild I chose to roll a stealther and play with some friends.

ToA is complete shit, i was stupid enough to buy it after all oh well at least now i know for sure i havent missed anything uke: uke:
uke: uke:ToA has just made some people become greedy assholes, other than that it's nice gfx and decent mobs but i am not really happy with it overall either, artifacts take too long to lv AND master lvs should be easier not take fucking relic forces to do some.
