On returning to DAOC, ive started a new account, and have to say - Mythic/GoA are not making it easy for new players.
Yes there is a lovely quest that gets you from 1-5 and returns some great equipment, and then you can play with the instance dungeons so leveling is not a problem, but obtaining usefull items is !
Ive leveled with my friend from 5-15 last night using the instance dungeons, in all this time no items dropped, we ended up having to buy L50 equipment from the CM's and have to replace it every 2 leveles due to degrading.
- There is no low level <50 items on the CM's
- There have been no drops in the instance dungeons, just a few pieces of armor with no stats and very poor quality
- Around L12 the instances became much tougher and death rate shot up until we started to use higher AF and DPS, but at the cost of degridation.
So... my question / point
Are we missing something, are there additional quests at say 10, 20, 30 that you can do to obtain a set of armour and weapon - or does the game really see you through to L5 then ignore you until L50 in its current state ?
