Q: What type of items will be in Catacombs?
A: Catacombs items are PvE based, compared to Trials of Atlantis items that are PvP based. An example of a Catacombs item bonus would be; “Experience penalty reduction on PvE death.” Mythic wants a different focus for the different item types. They want crafted, dropped, and quested items to not to be a copy of each other.

Q: Can you level from 1 to 50 in the Catacombs expansion?
A: Yes, catacombs will have zones for all levels.

Q: What type of drops will there be in Catacombs?
A: Catacombs is going to have what is called rlight drops. These rlight drops will function similar to the Darkness Falls stones that could be used to purchase equipment.

Q: Will there be new weapons in catacombs?
A: The art team will not have the time for new weapons.

Move along nothing to see here

 

[Arnor]

Q: Exactly how overpowered will the new classes be in rvr?
A: Well, to summarize, think about a savage with pbaoe having a threesome with a sorc with petspam and a healer with stealth


or

Q: How will mythic force us to buy this expansion to be able to compete in rvr?
A: New classes, overpowered beyond even our imagination.

I kinda smiled when reading this:
"Q: Where did the sounds for the Iconnu Male come from?
A: The sound guy was at home one night and had 2 friends over. They went to his basement and recorded the sounds for the Iconnu Male and Frostalf Female."

WHAT was he smoking I wonder

 

[Filip]

Q: will catacum have any influence on RvR ?
A: NOOOOOOOOOO.. nopes.. none what so ever ... you will be able to preforme just as well with daoc classic.. no mindlessly grinding till youre head explode at all ... allso no1 will ask at atk: LF toa'ed catacumed rr5+ XXX

 

[oblimov]

is it me or is catacombs not really adding much worth while?

cept for new classes

they dont seem to be developing much interesting, new dungeons that drop pve weaps wooo big deal

the majority of people who have played and will continue to play dont give a shit bout pve

 

[-Freezingwiz-]

NEW GLOWIE SWORDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!1 :bazbeer:

 

[Lothandar]

Being the daoc whore I am, will buy it anyway


Catacombs seems like another SI to me, some nice quest items, new classes.


Unlike toa which took me 2 months to finish ><

 

[Yussef]

Sounds shit content wise.

 

[Ilienwyn]

We had so fun doing pve to get rvr bonuses in TOA they expect we will do Catacombs to get PVE bonuses? lol

The mention about zealot is funny too, no evade at all so it will be at even worse state than the valewalkers. But well, albs win cause of numbers in us NF so let's give them more gimped classes...

 

[Urme the Legend]

It sounds like a nice expansion for people that hasn't dinged 50.. and perhaps attract new people to the game. Maybe more PvE groups will be available instead of all PL groups... but I'm sure it's something usefull in this patch for RvR peeps, except the new classes ofc.

haha sounds nasty xDDD

 

[Jimmyjr]

well if its gonna be like DF where u get the items, kill mobs get rlight thing buy stuff with it, i think would be easy way to get moeny tbh, salvage the stuff hehe... but i don't see anyone playing a zealot at all unless there spells etc do alot of damage, as no evade, cloth armour and small shields... hmmm ?

 

[Jergiot]

aha so thats the team of ppl who failed to balance their own game even after 2 years.

 

[Vodkafairy]

i think it's kinda fucked up how they "don't have time" for a lot of things because they have to release it fast for some strange reason, can't they actually put some effort in making a perfectly rounded off expansion for a change.

sure there's always minor bugs that can never be avoided, but it looks like half the expansion is going to be patched in after the original release :/

oh well, definitely going to buy it if i still play when it hits europe because there are pretty nice things in it, just wish they'd spend more time on it instead of rushing through it like mad

 

[Humo]

they have to release it fast for some strange reason,

waiting 2 months for expansion = ok
waiting 4 months+ for expansion = byebye customers.

the things that aren't included in release of catacombs is mostly fluff anyway, like those trophees .

5 new classes? God knows the impact of those in rvr/pve ("ToA wont have any impact on rvr" )



Vampiir sounds like a very good reason to roll hib tbh

And that's exactly the idea with the class.

Things can sound good on paper but turn out to be pure shite, as for vodka's comment on fluff, we'll know better when we have more information!

I like the sound of vampiir myself, although as obsence as these classes sound they turn out to be pure wank in rvr

 

[vintervargen]

they dont look too bright tbh

not saying it prolly wont be overpowered, but take the wardens description (atleast pre-toa, now they are nice grapplebots )

heals, styles, shield, parry, self-haste, self-end-reduction buff, hp-regen, pbt, resistbuffs etc etc etc

 

[StonyPony]
