new expansion announced

[Aiteal]

I hate more PvE!

Needs more work, needs more time!

Call me optimistic, but this expansion sounds much more geared to RvR than ToA ever was
A new RvR dungeon
New CL's that can be got thru RvR
A capture the flag style RvR mini game in the dungeon

Besides I like making templates, and extra slots can only make that easier

 

[Bistrup666]

Damn I would think mythic had learned just something along the way, but I get they get more $$$$ by doing expansions. uke:

It just plain sux couldn't they atleast try to do something about all the bug's in game before releasing a new overly bugged expansion.

 

[adoNix]

God.. what did we do to deserve this?
GJ mythic.. you lost another player when this is released.

 

[sphir]

what the fuck.

this cant be serious :/

or well remove the taur thing and it will be ok i guess!

 

[illu]

I think it sounds interesting. More choices/options relieves boredom which can only be a good thing.
The end of September sounds good with more details coming, and CL6-10 sounds like we'll all become mini-casters/healers/tanks.

Can't really comment until we see what it looks like, what the class plays like, what new items there are, what new mobs there are, etc. etc.

I just hope it brings a bit of new blood to the game, and lots of nerfing to albland. :>

Dual weilding 2-handed weapons with a magic line as well?

they mated a WL with a savage!

 

[Tesla Monkor]

Dual weilding 2-handed weapons with a magic line as well?
what a load of cock


although the additional champ levels 6 to 10 sound ok

Nowhere does it say 'Dual wielding two-handers' in the information. Just that he can wield a 2h weapon in one hand.

And the most important thing didn't even make it with the cut'n'paste.

Everyone gets a mecha-kitty-pet.

hehe
I'm just stirring it up for the doomsayers

Overall I think the exp sounds nice
I think the extra CL's is nice plus the extra sc slots and dungeon

Although the maulers will probably be dumb as hell
Even with 1 hand holding a 2 handed weapon and a shield in the other hand plus a combat buff magic line they sound a little OP'ed

 

[SkarIronfist]

Minotaur Relics could be laugh. Not that I need any more reason to kill hibs or albs ...

 

[SoulFly]

I'd take 100 champ levels over one ML level
at least I can RvR for champ XP
If only I could do that for ML's

Well, you can XP your ML's, just need to do them steps. too b ad it's not like the CL's are :/

 

[Bonehead]

I don't like it!

Another huge RvR zone to spread out our already underpopulated server. This seems to me like a small "nerf" to the RP boost we got last patch. Spread out the RPs some more, so the rp/h will drop back to before boost.

I'll buy it!

 

[vavires]

U dont think hell get all that str a 2h and not loose anything? something will make it look less atractive...

 

[Varna]

People will buy it becuase they need to, not becuase they want to - that to me is not good PR, it's taking advantage of people becuase they know they can get away with it regardless of how they further the ruining of a game with a bright concept yet not so bright developers, sad really (and no, I havent only just realised this).

A vamp with 2h weapon in one hand = another lame class.

 

[Aiteal]

A vamp with 2h weapon in one hand = another lame class.

In fairness
Missy did say that feature may not make it past testing

Hopefully they will make the dungeon entrance like DF for each realm
I'm sure shroom farms and entrance camping will get old pretty quick

 

[Theseus]

Minotaurs aye .... Bring em on ! I killed them before !!

 

[Lethul]

A vamp with 2h weapon in one hand = another lame class.

id be suprised if Minotaur can be any of the "unique" classes such as vampiir. id guess they only can be the "core" fighter classes

 

[censi]

YES INDEED FEAR NOT the Minotaurs of DAOC onoly have one arm!

 

[Aiteal]

I think he means that the Mauler class will have a 2-handed weapon in one hand and has a self buff magic line according to the info released so far.
Closest comparison would be the existing vamp I guess.

 

[Mastade]

Alot of things in life can make you cry.. but crying about an expansion that you know close to nothing about, and that is far from released yet, IS NOT ONE OF THEM

 

[Matmardigan]

I thought troll was supposed to be the true brawlers but I guess I was wrong.

if u look at history, b4 minotaurs and trolls left this world, minotaurs was much better than trolls, cause trolls suposed 2 be little small blue gold horney somethings which lived in irland, and the minotaurs was cows which lived somewhere in greece.

 

[Azathrim]

My guess is, like every other fotm expansion class to date, [...]

I belive the correct term would be "lotm expansion"

Hahahah!

hehe thats leprechauns (with a little bit of smurf thrown in) you eejit
or lurikeen as the people of Kildare in Ireland call them

 

[Fahdlan]

Mythic
A New Playable Race for all Realms - The Minotaur. Half man, half bull, the Minotaur is so powerful he can wield two-handed weapons with a single hand.

what about trolls then? this game gets abit ... yea... got no word for it.

 

[Icebreaker]

I wait until they release it. But there are two things in this Expansion i really don't like and i prolly quit if this is true!

1. The new Race/Class...if it fucks up my Hero even more (allready hard enough to get Groups) which i love.

2.If i have to do new Templates for my Chars.I can't be arsed to do it again!

And while we are at it. I really thought this Expansion could be great but it looks boring on paper and it is just a rvr copy of Catacombs.

ZzzzZzz

As if it wasn't enough that we were all running around with GoVs and Malices in our 3 frontiers that look almost identical.
Now we can all run around with a GoV wearing mauler minotaur, wielding a 2-handed Malice in one hand.
Looks like Mythic has given up on making unique items/abilities for the realms. Easier to balance i guess...

They better make the minotaur mauler wear cloth so there wont be any whine about one realm having better armour tables.
Just give it a 40% abs and 500AF self buff.

 

[Nate]

i wonder if you'll have to run in the LoTM client to enter this dungeon, and if it's going to be necessary to go in there every time you want fg rvr to get one of those special relics? I hope they make a better client then DR then ;o

I think that's the worst aspect. Talking about OP'd abilities now is a bit soon I think, but the lack of creativity is so bad imo. Also new races are really not needed, cause there is no niche they can fill. Every realm alrdy has a high str race, so why put in another one? Looking at the theme I would've prefered some new class that has mechanical stuff associated with it, or smth like that.

Just the problem is, that DAoC has so many things already, hard to make new things :/
