Daoc the Frustration

[Talsar]

Okay after playing Daoc from beta until present, there is a number of small things in-game which is just not right and kind of get annoying.

I am hoping to generate a list of all users little frustrations in game to perfect Daoc. I am going to send this to Mythic in the hope that they will introduce these things in the new patches.

This is a genuine thread; please don’t flame in this thread, just list your little annoying bits. Please don't start stuff like “so and so annoy me ban them” etc.

My list:

1. When you enter your house, you always face the front door – I would like to face the other way.

2. When adding things to your cm, there is no function to keep the amount so that if you’re adding multiple items of the same kind you have to click in 10g to 570g etc.

Okay that is all I think of atm, but I will post more as they come to me.

Post away…

1: they would make a kind of language pack, so first time you enter server to pick realm, allso pick language... ... bit innoying that the 4 biggest servers is german/french

Without going into class/RA bitching...

> Whenever you /face something, you stop moving for a second.

> There should be more "favourable wind" NPC's around towns in the main realm, SI and ToA.

> Loads of zones of the game are hardly worth visiting anymore. Something to lure people to them would be nice. (especially as the latter stages of the game end you up in atlantis no matter which realm you pick doing the *same* ML's and the *same* arti's)

> Too large a penelty on grouping. Small groups are heavily penalised which usually leads to soloing as building a large group is more hassle than many people are willing to bother with.

> Many tradeskills are a bit defunk at higher levels with ToA stuff. Being able to *rework* a piece of armor or a weapon into a different model (including a specific classes epic skin) would take away some of the greek-zerg look toa has created.

> Day/Night cycles are miss-timed when moving between areas. Fair enough for ToA/mainland. But for fronteirs and mainland, or avalon city/avalon isle its a bit silly. Also night-time is way too dark.

> Albion cloth healms are invisible. This has always been weird.

> A race-specific ability (at, say, level 15) would make a nice twist. (inconnu get 1.5x mana/health regen at night or in dungeons, saracens have +1.5% evade [inc. casters], elves have +3% base spell crit chance etc)

> Fighting underwater is a nightmare, um... ..magically make it less of a pain.


That will be all.

-Ability to give a certain name to your pet
-Get rid of shrooms
-That little thing about CMs where you travel from 1 side of housing to the other only to discover that the X-plorer was bugged and that the item isnt there
-Get rid of shrooms
-Keep 1 min timer on earth pets but give back their old HPs
-Get rid of shrooms
-Make MLs doable by 1fg except for the end bosses.
-Get rid of BDs... *and* shrooms

Thats it for now me thinks

i have to agree with the facing door thingy.... i hate it when you doubleclick your door. port in.. and port directily out again...

 

[[Cinderella]]

Be able to change version of arti. example i chosed conversion on ceremonial bracer like third day of toa when i didnt know better and its screwing up my whole temp becouse i need the charges in rvr so dont want to loose it. want to be able to trade to dexversion. i dont care if i have to fix scrolls and lvl it again, fair enough.
you can change spec ra´s ml´s so why not artis?

And you got the IQ of a roasted peanut, otherwise you'd realize I was joking by saying about shrooms so many times. Take your macho bitching to the RvR section please.

The list should have been endless but I'll give it a try to cut the long story sort.
Here we go

1. Make the ML paths doable either solo through questing or by 1 fg max and leave the bg steps for the final encounter. The ML grind will become an even greater problem in the near future, since apart from being a great timesink, in lower population servers there wont be enough numbers to do them.

2. Reduce artigfact encounters repop timers or even better make them obtainable through questing. It is rediculous to wait for 8+ hours for a mob to pop, to fall asleep while waiting and when you wake up to realise that someone did it while you've been sleeping and start counting the hours again. And for those that they'll yell "Hey m8 dont camp", I've been poping at the eramai site for the last 20 days, never found him on.

3. Make life better for melee classes in NF so they feel worthy again. I dont know how and I dont care, but been nuked to death in 3 secs by an overpowered caster it's not fun and something is wrong. And flame away about resists bla bla bla.

4. Make life better in rvr by doing something with CC spells for all three realms. If some1 thinks that it is fun being ZZzzzZZZzzz for X seconds then stunned for Z seconds and nuked at the same time to death then you've got a serious problem

5. Revise the CoC and do something about annoying campers and artifact steelers for a more honest DAOC.

6. Revise at last the crafting system which aespecially after TOA is just rediculous. I remember when I was a noob comments on official game sites where they were referring to crafting as the way to get the finest items in the game. They should at least give more imbue points and additional slots+gems for spellcrafters. These days most of the WC-AC-Tailoring crafters are hinge bots.

7. Fix LOS issues and bugs.

8. Try getting add ons and patches to european servers quicker and not after six months giving us the feeling that we belong to a third world.

9. Class balance. (what's that )

10. Give us the "hey, its a game, fun!!" feeling rather than the "bah I need to get back to work now to farm the x scroll for z thousand hours" feeling I get lately. Or maybe it's just me?

Thats only a "quick" list a could think off at the moment. Let them fix that and then I suppose we could ask them for the little things.

Lets just hope now that they have started having problems with the server populations and soon subscription problems they'll start listening to their customers but I seriously doubt it.

3. There is no guild bank; you have to hold funds on a toon - why not use cm as a bank as well as a selling item.

4. Distance from NPC trading needs to be increased, you have to be very close to trade.

5. Changing the camera angle on auto run, you stop running! that is mad.
