Overall impressions of DR and what new spells have you gone for in RvR?

[illu]

Well, DR isn't finished yet for me, I still have the last thing to kill, and I still have my epic quest to do to get the new armour.
I think overall it's been a good add-on, I love the horses, the new animations - it seems a bit more fun :>

I like the spells you can get and was playing with the heal spell after fights last night, and it was pretty useful, a hell of a lot less downtime.

I'm going to pick solo heal, and not sure on the rest - what have you gone for and why?

Are there commands for horses by the way? I saw some people doing a few nifty moves last night.

And after some of last nights fighting, I'm looking forward to PAing people and brittles going down, and also to Remedy being changed :> Lost 3 fights on the trot to a remedy NS, I'd almost forgotten how bad Remedy affects fights! But I'm also not looking forward to Infil+Remedy ^^

Should be some interesting months ahead :>

The epic armour is something ive heard very little about, but im sure some of the pieces must be nice ?

Would be great to get some more info about it. And would i have to finish all other epicquests from the class trainer before i can do the DR ones ?

 

[Lorimez Shadowblade]

Imo epic armour is good - huge improvement from the original stuff. For instance most pieces have a bonus to a stat and the merc legs have a 130hp heal proc - not bad at all. Not sure how viable they are for templates but I'm guessing very good for pve kit.

I'm not a fan of the subclass casting abilities - and tho no doubt I'll use to compete with others - have healing casting mercenaries doesn't some see right Same I guess for wizards pwning with their staff styles

However, thats more like me being a roleplay snob than anything else

Overall not a bad expansion but far too much running around for us lazy gits.

First impressions...

Horses are great, should of had them long ago.

Champion level exp is a f***ing stupid pain in the ass, as is to be expected, and the champion quests completely and utterly pointless drivel.

Champion abilities, i'd rather they werent introduced in the first place, but seeing as they are here i'll just have to make the most of them.

On the whole i'd have to say the best way to summarise DR is that at least its not as bad as ToA.

To end on a more positive note, the new epics are ok. Pity the polearm champion weapon is shit.

 

[dohhhh]

Cmon cmon Im bored at work and cant find any info on the new epic armour pieces. Gifv info about how to get the epic quests aswell (im guessing that epic armor pieces is a different quest than the Inferno thingie)

 

[liloe]

go check VNboards for the new epic stats =)

 

[Vodkafairy]

i like dr, the quests were kinda fun. co5 is mindless grinding though, reminded me of darkspire.

champ weapons are a decent alternative to artis and the cl spells are ok, nothing really overpowered tho.. i tried the melee styles, one path got anytime asd chain and 11% parry 5% abs buffs thats kinda funny - but the damage on the styles is really too low to be worth using. the other style procs a 20 heat dd every hit which looks really funny and might make people panic, but its really not worth using normally

ended up with the resists, like pretty much any stealther.. its like 1000 illu babies running around with ghettoresistbuffs!

 

[Haggus]

It's shit imo. Seeing people run around on horses that don't even look good is pants.

When they jump they slide along the floor for a few metres and the 10% melee resist thing suxx so hard.

DR is shit.

Just quit?

DR has been great fun. Really enjoy the quests, especially chapter 3. Enjoy the new fluff that the abilities bring (woot my grappled arms can ae interrupt!!) and love the champion weapons - good stuff

6 out of my 10 chars have champ weapons and CL3, as a perfectionist pve-addict (I don't stop til it's all done), I'll have the last 4 CL3 by the weekend!!

And then all up to CL5...MMM love it!!

Haha

I do love PVE to gain abilities, to get all my chars on-par! I don't like feeling gimped

Only takes 3hr30-4hr to do the first two chapters, not that bad tbh.

 

[Ging]

Yea, dont stop u telling my cabby to piss of though eh eh eh???

now let me see if i can get this right

ffs i CBA!!!! /disband

I was so ronery doing all dis nasty pve on my own....

 

[dohhhh]

[Peaches]

All hib ones here:

[Chimaira]

Just do some 2.5 billion xp reward quests for leet CL exp.

 

[Chronictank]

Good points:
-Epic mounts are ok
-Balance is good
-Epics are a nice long overdue overhaul of the old stuff (altho you get without dr too)
-Champ weapons are nice but not needed
-New quests which take you all through out the OF, most of which new players will never have seen before
-DF overhaul is sweet (altho you get it without the dr client too)
-More stable client, which we should have got with cata

Bad points:
-GFX on mounts are pretty poor
-Quests turn into the usual grind after cl3ish
-CLxp is a joke
-Ruined the entire game in terms of lore, a tank casting nukes or healing, need i say more
-The npc's still do not look like they are talking (like WoW and almost any other mmporg), nor are they animated for the most part. Which tbh in this day is quite crap

Exactly what I was looking for - thanks :>

Champion Level xp isn't too bad from RvR.

SB's Champ weapons are not great, being slash based, but they look nice - and that's what counts! :>

/snip

LOL

And apparently SB leggings and Feet are quite nice on the epic armour side of things. The legs have a 130heal thing on them, so I'm going to see if I can squeeze them in the new template that I am making.

So many nice items that I need to get and squeeze in, something will have to give somewhere :/

Dr is a skald nerf patch!

my only advance for groups was speed, which is taken away now.
oh and seen the skald weapon? hammer one is horrible, the stats are pathetic and WHAT skald has fucking acuity cap in its template?

tho, i like the roleplaying stuff so its all good in the end, just a small whine

 

[Coldbeard]

+
The quests ( only done chapter 1 and 2 though) were decent fun
The new champ weapons are really nice for most classes and have cool gfx
Better looking capitol cities
Mounts in PvE
Improved the epic armour
DF love!

-
Annoying mounts in RvR
Cl exp zzZzz
Most cl abilities are zZz
Not too much new stuff

So for me DR ends up as an average/good expansion

 

[Gotrag]

/namemount Names your horse (only you can see the name)

This is not true if somone clicks on you while on the horse it says you target "xxx" riding "xxx"

 

[Shike]

hmm @ ppl whining about CLxp?

Go talk to king, go RVR, ding CL5, get fully activated CLwep of choice. Done. End of story..

it cant get any easier than that, and yet ppl whine about it, wtf?

QQ

 

[Elkie]

cl xp = pure easy mode for people who run with groups I think we got cl5 in 2 nights rvr . Solo= Very crap but do C05 challenging but alot of fun takes few hours thoe (nice ring in their to)

 

[Alme]

Why the fuck do ppl whine over CL xp? Either u like rvr, in which case u rvr and get the xp, or ure a pvenerd and will get the xp in pve instead. U dont have to grind something u dont like to get ure xp.

 

[Tualatin]

It's just a shame CL abilities aren't as usefull here, as they are on the classic servers, i suppose this addon was mainly ment to make life easier there tbh.

exact same impression of dr, but others can see the name of your horse.

 

[Infanity]

Really into these resist buffs Helps alot for solo... The weapon in group is just <3 aswell - Pd 5 bds dropping in 2 hits is quality.

 

[Maeloch]

Forester line for snare nuke and str/con debuffs here - in line with with the whole 'ghetto sorc' theme of the mentalist class. Mebbe should have gone for resist buffs, but just wanted to try diff stuff; bit dissapointed u can't qc the snare...hope str/con debuff doesn't break mez either.

DR pretty nice, good the abilities are quite minor tbh after some of the shit from ToA. Love the horses, both pve and for soloing, implemented just right.

 

[Kaun_IA]

acctualy useing champ weapon and few epic items on new temp on druid.... + it has 50% power regen (mcl2?)

56% powerpool, 10 cast speed, 101 dex, 101 emp........
