in a dilema

[Osprey]

Hello all

KK to the point I have played DaoC for a while now with my son we eagerly awaited Toa and all was fine for a week or so but then it happened .....
We started missing ML hunts through real life issues hardly any 1 was RvRing the game just seemed pointless playing. Logged into AC to try n lvl infi ...cant get a grp ....cant make a grp ....... so log on necro ......gets boring killing same mob time n time again .........go on toa .....same story there merc`s cant farm scrolls for two reasons its boring and time consuming (the drop rates need increasing )

So we take a break re start legend of mir lads in his eliment all new tao spells big wars planned comunity still thriving a game you can pick up n play any time log out any time ......Unlike daoc hunts planned for sat afternoons we r at football ...evenings I work shifts nights ...lad cant go on as skool next day so he cant stay up late and finish the ml hunt ......sundays lad plays rugby ....

I dont wanna stop playing daoc but may be forced to as cant motivate myself to stay on longer than 30 mins any one got any ideas on how we can rekindle the love affair we had with daoc in the game how it is NOW and does any one else notice the big difference in time and comitment now needed to play ?

Get a buffbot to speed things up. Helps in enormous amounts.

RVR has picked up a fair bit.
Get out your sword and come kill mids. There are way to many of them, a good culling is whats called for.

RvR has been much better last 2 weeks. just come out and play

Same for me really. work and gf takes up all the time.

So im often busy when the Ml raids are. and I refuse to bash mobs over and over to gain lvl on items. even tho I know I got to. to be able to cope

 

[Sycho]

Don't worry most albs will quit when frontiers comes anyway xD

I can understand how you feel in regards to ToA. On ave. I play for about 6/7 hours a day and still found I was falling behind as the times I needed to be on for big raids I had to be at work :<

In case you hadn't picked up on all the changes in patch 1.68 things don't get better. The ability to earn 'ToA xp' in RvR have an upside but also a downside in that people who have done ML raids no longer have to go on them for the 'ToA xp'.

(the drop rates need increasing )

aparently the drop rates are increased next patch afik

I can relate to this

I am still uncertain if ToA is a good thing or not. Master level raids are difficult to get on, artifacts non-existant unless you are part of the elite who farm them every day. RvR is becoming unplayable as everyone with artifacts/quest items just own you. My infi is getting seen by everyone and everything with stealth lore, prescience nodes etc. Dragonfang is going to be nerfed, does the SB who destroyed me last night really worry about that now? We have 3 people trying to play DAoC in our house, so time is limited. The other 2 don't even try to get on the ToA raids as there is not enough time to complete, or re-runs to get it done another time. Got a feeling it has ruined the game for all but the 6+ hours a day player. heavens knows what it will be like with Frontiers and Catacombs. There will be so many places to go and not enough people on Prydwen, that you will be luck to find anyone to group with!
Lets hope the future is not this bleak

They really need to increase the % ratio of artifacts gaining exp off mobs, i think in 1.68 it increases, a merc i spoke to on usa servers was lving band of stars said he gets 4% a kill with 41 mill exp from mobs, if this is true it's a good start to making casual players or old school daoc players feel less annoyed with ToA.I just got my malice lv10 and that was quite hard work, took 10-12 hours but i was buffed and chained yellows/reds ooe about every 20-30 mobs quick heal rest.Must of killed 1000 of them or near it xE

tbh. i play like 3-4 hours a day buy not every day so like 6-7 hours 3-4 days a week. The raids i have been matching, got to ml8 after 3 weeks, though getting mlxp was hard so been stuck on it for ages. Scrolls are not hard, got all scrolls for all artifact after 4 weeks of toa release, the artifacts though are harder, SoK is almost impossible to get, 6 kills and no drop, just silly imo.

Understandable that ppl dont like ToA caus its time consuming, but the change of only RvR, dragon raids or pl in AC are good imo. In 3 months or so ToA will be empty and then i guess it will be easier to get guildgroups get what ever artifact you want, if guild is that helpful in PVE that is.

I know im gonna wait like 2 months to even try get SoM as its camped 5 minutes after dead and waiting for repop, THAT is time consuming tbh.

get a girlfriend :eek2:

OOOhhh thats sounds a good idea ......but I dont think the wife would like that very much........
