Likes and dislikes about DAOC!
Played the game now for about 2 years and these are my likes and dislikes along the way.
Likes first then:
Graphics - absolutely wonderful! Drew me to the game initially and probably still holds me here.
Characters: like to create and try out new ones for sure - and still like doing so.
Competition: caters for my every whim without being overly so. Got far more heated in UO where your enemy can talk freely to you. Then again is this good or not? - thinking about it how will you ever know who your enemy is - unless you talk to them on these forums?
Anything else - am already beginning to struggle?
Dislikes:
Travelling - ok sometimes but can get extremely tedious - infact get on a horse and go eat some food/make a cuppa/urinate etc - intime to get back to game as your alt arrives at it's destination? - eh? now come on!
Game balancing: now this i think is where the game has gone belly up and must be a real headache to DAOC creators. Infact they have lost control on this one for sure. They should have made everything available to all (clothing/specs etc ) and made it look different or something as opposed to being different - can't see them able to get around this mess!
Buffing: well i have been a user of this long before some others so i am as guilty as them - or more so - but to be honest i first of all had a 2nd account to help with crafting believe it or not!
Buffing again: this is the reason i gonna leave the game i think - cos i get this horrible feeling that DAOC creators are laughing behind my back - as they reach into my pocket to take more money off me per month! How many other online games is it necessary to have 2 active accounts running at the same time? 'I don't have a 2nd account so don't talk rubbish!' Hehe ok - lets see if you still talk like that after playing forra few months?
Speech and that bloody box: hated this from the start and still hate the way speech works! This enables people to be far more isolated than anything in my opinion. If someone talks in your vicinity then you should be able to read or hear it? - lets have some realism along the way!
Lack of countermeasures to spells/stuns/poisons etc: This also gets my goat. For any spell/poison put on you there should be something to counter it (anyone heard of cure potions?) - right from the off - not bloody rps that you only get months down the line. Hear mage types screaming about this? No need - a high level mage should wipe the floor with a low level any other type player full stop - but this hanging about mezzed for ages is a no goer and just shouldn't be!
Lots of other things about the game i also like and dislike but sure looks like my dislikes outnumber the likes by a long ways!
'OK, OK - bugger off then Certi and play something else!' Well could be i will soon and the above are my game dieing ramblings - hehe'
