go to the daoc general section and ask you noob


my playtime on my first 50 was about 35 days, now you can do it in a few hours, probably get rr10 in that time quite easily too

Check out NFD - think they're on the Euro's sorting out their toons for transfer atm though.

Not sure how many of them at OT regulars mind but they're just as daft. You get Jamies, Mael and Crom talking some weird stuff.

Was really looking forward to playing DAOC again but the PvE involved in a game that was made for the PVP put me off, farmed scales/tg vests to template 3 characters then they made the astral stat changes it was like fuck right off.

Currently seeking a new mmo to play but i've got no idea what... theres so few atm that has fun PvE (which I enjoy very much, its just daoc PvE is so simple its so boring) I played WoW aswell but the fact activision bought blizzard is finally starting to show after all these years because its unplayable at certain times when trying to raid, servers lag like fuck.

Any suggestions on a good PvE game thats easy to get started in :p?

Lotro
Once you managed to get through the first "all-fluff" zones, it´s quite good.

Is it :p? whats the PvE like tho end game gifv examples damn you mr
thorwyn! :D

Well...
First off, all classes are viable in solo play. In fact, the majority of the <lvl65 quests are solo. The effect is, that you don´t need a strong guild to level with and you don´t have LFG downtime. It´s insta-rewarding... log in, play, log off. There´s an epic storyling to follow, which is nicely done IMO, there are traits to solve (kinda like permanent buffs... that part is a little grind-is, can be "kill x creatures in zone y" or "explore z locations in zone a") and there are regular events to keep people entertained.

Once you reached max level (65 at the moment), things are changing. The big instances are now the main focus of the game. Those are either 1fg-instances, or so called "raid" instances (i.e. 12 or even 24 players). This is where a guild and a spot in a set group is almost inevitable.

The instances are tough and require good teamwork (and teamspeak), otherwise you´re doomed. Also, all the endgame instances have some sort of gear check. You need a minimum ammount of "radiance" to enter and survive, so you need to farm the radience sets first (3 and 6 player instances).

Legendary items are another thing. They work like artifacts in DAoC, meaning that they need xp to level up etc. But unlike Cloudsong and Fools Bow, the legendary items in Lotro are coming with a random set of bonuses (adding another bonus every 10 levels). There are also ways to manipulate the randomness. In short: some players are spending their entire endgame trying to create the perfect weapon.
