this game is tough.
sod all lowbies cos of the /levelling thing.
such a struggle to get money. how are u supposed to farm? my gear went gimp and blue and i couldn't afford the yellow stuff. so i went out to farm greys and found out they dont drop nothing cos they are grey. killing greens was going so slooooooooow cos of my gimp gear that i had to go & buy a plat off ebay =/.
so hard to get xp. compared to other mmo's at low lvl it just crawls. run all the way to next zone to kill an ant drone. kill it, run all the way back to get my xp. discover i shodda killed an ant commander. geez.
death comes so swiftly and without mercy. this i kind of like. in AO you could run from deep inside the dungeon with the uber mob on u and run all the way out taking well over a minute and survive-i thought this was dumb.
but in daoc it is so harsh that the first sign of trouble and im hiking it off. it's not like with just that last squeeze of mana we will just pull it through. if it goes tits up someone or all of the group are gonna die.
you just have to take an xp loss too unless some healer does a flyby rezz. of all the mmo's this is the toughest for death penalty.
at low level the xp loss is starting to hurt. it didnt start hurting in EQ till around 40.
death penalty is a good thing imo- gets adrenilne running. theres no penalty in AO (just recently had a patch so xp lost is stored and gets given back over time with new xp earned) and as a result i, and prolly others, got a who-gives-a-shit-if-we-die-cos-i fucked-up-attitude (i played a doctor aswell hehe). but in daoc it is severe.
wheres the economy. all I heard is one or two broadcasts of some toon asking for a wc and getting no responce. most mmos that are old have a tonne of formerly uber stuff going for peanuts cos of lots of supply. am i in the right areas?
all of the above isn't a moan btw. i'm enjoying the challenge and learning more and more about game mechanics.
but it would be nice to know if it gets any easy or what?
so does it get any easier to make money and get gear other than the store bought crap?
turn the tide in a losing battle?
pull out the ace up your sleave to avoid death?
get groups that know wtf they are doing?
i chose a minstrel. im lvl 12 with over 1 day played. lol, prolly someone will say that that is doing good.
