Sounds as dull as catacombs aside from the mounts :rolleyes:

So any guesses what over powered class middys will get with the latest expansion? :flame:

Why does it matter if they are ripping off WOW, if WOW has some good stuff lets have it here I say. It's not like WOW ripped anything off any other game :)

Agree, just because some other game has it doesn't mean DAoC should't. I just hope Mythic succeed better in inplanting it then SOE did for the Combat Upgrade in starwars galaxies, they wanted to make the game WoW there but failed and lost a HUGE % of thier subscribers.

Sounds dull. I'd be interested to see what "Champion of the realm" would gain you abilities wise.

The idea of a mount in daoc was talked about a long time before WoW started. I know this as I remember deciding on the name of my horse like two years ago :p

Anyway Daoc could do with ripping a few things from WoW (thats another thread though).

I have no problem with them releasing new expansions, although I gotta say that the info released sounds pretty dull. Being Champion of the Realm aint gonna make me go out and get it - I still aint got ML10 yet lol or a decent toon to RR7.

Agree with Konah that they should spend some time looking at the various issues that do need fixing and release a super patch or something - or at least sort Atlantis out so that getting artis is not such a damn pain in the arse - and at the same time restabalise the game economy (I mean 80p for an arti is a fuckin joke - excuse my french)

Another expansion - more dilution of the game - a dwindling game population - more zones - Mythic/GOA should be trying to compete with WOW by releasing DAOC 2 - otherwise its kinda like putting alloy wheels on a broken car - might look nice but not a lot of point if the engine's busted

Don't see the point paying £20 for an xpansion which just gives you a horse and some crappy RVR title.

unless ofc they bring in cavalry rules - perhaps a new character class specialising in mounted polearm commbat.

mind you will be wiped out by casters in RVR so perhaps kinda pointless

If arms/pally types wanna do mounted combat in RVR and survive more than 2 seconds against warlocks, then why not give em a steed that you can level a little bit like a main character. Could have abilities that the steed specs in (magical, pbaoe, buffs, RA's - whatever) that means it can survive in NF.

Obviously you won't be riding your horse (or whatever) down Mithra and getting horse bots for your horse (lol) - but it might gain xp like the way artis gain xp

Just rambling...its a thought tho...

That's because it's impossible to fuck RvR up anymore.

hmmmm

Not sure about it being a rip off from WoW as many have said..Personal Mounts have been looked at previously and i know war wagons where reviewed for NF but never materialised. I think Mythic are playing it right at moment..Every expansion has good and bad points..I'd just like to see more RvR right now..

Wasn't there an article saying that mythic were not going to do expansions just large content patches? Obviously they realised that they cant really charge for game content but can for expansions.

On another note when will the Euro servers population outstrip the USA, or will it stay the same, we are slightly lower than the USA for population.

Would that mean then that we would get the expansion before the USA, same time or after? Or would mythic decide that it was time to stop daoc?

:m00:
