So how u all finding TOA?

[censi]

Just a post to gauge opinion.

I was initially overwhlemed with how long its going to take to get all these stuff for my character ( i cant see myself being battle ready for at least 2-3 months)

saying that i think the ML are gr8 fun.

Aquiring the artifacts seems funs.

Do have a gripe about the fact that its mostly about numbers than skill. but that comes hand in hand with daoc.

all in all toa seems pretty cool..

what do u think of it?

 

[Xanthian]

ToA looks fantastic, and seems to run alot smoother.

As far as Artifacts go, the waiting about for spawns is a joke, hunting scrolls is a joke and not even tried to XP any artifacts yet.

ML's aint too bad, only done ML1, took about 5 hours due to LD's groups splitting and "noobs" not knowing what to do.

Its just dawned on me how much PvE is going to be involved in kitting out 4 lvl 50's ready for RvR again

I like it, my first 30 mins was almost like having agrophobia

Bought a skiff, sailed around a bit, read about zone armour, did some stuff, suddenly knew it quite well and getting around was way less daunting!

Artifacts are tricky, with everyone zerging around doing everything it's a little annoying but it'll die off, leaving a bit more space for those of us who like to take things at a slightly less frantic pace

 

[nol]

I have 0.2 ML's now \o/ my pve record speaks for itself

 

[Divinia]

I like it so far, but scrolls might get a hassle to get all by yourself and i dont like to buy too much stuff either :/

Done ml1 only ;p that was uber compared to any other pve ive done in daoc.

Farming 260 Magical Scarab Wings wasnt that uber tho ;p

Having a great time exploring the underwater world in fullscreen mode

Also havin great fun in completing the ml alltho the ml2.10 encounter was a bit annoyin but got that step too after some hassle

 

[Boni]

I like it so far, much better than i expected, a huge improvement on the SI expansion. I feel roughly the same as censi, bit disapointed with some encounters, and i wish the first couple of mls where not so dependant on 8+lvl50s to complete, but on the whole its fun and new...

 

[Tigersans]

Same here the gfx improvements are gr8, but i feel i will be crap in rvr now as i can only play a certain few nights a week i dont think ill ever be able to do the Ml's.

Was on twice over the weekend tried to get a grp to do part of ML1 but could not find one as people were already doing it..

So feel ive lost the chance for ML's already.. Shame a lot of it cant be done solo or in 1fg rather than battlegroups.

See how it goes in rvr now if im constantly beaten by RR'1s etc who have ML's i can see my leaving the game. Toa seems designed for the people that can play almost 24/7 to get the ML's

 

[Gegge]

ToA seems okay, i was expecting it to be far more boring tbh since im not a pve fan exactly ML3 is a bit a pain in the ass tho

 

[f1sty]

ToA is ok, but its very time consuming, and does, what imo is bad, takes you away from RvR too much. I mean the game was designed for huge RvR battles, and the time is taking to do a ML is rediculous, not to mention Artifact leveling etc!

 

[Funkdocta]

In a few months everyone will be ML10 and have lots of artifacts so the RvR will resume, with stupid over powered abilities to boot

Its all fun though

 

[Ivynoxia]

I agree, very soon we'll see people crying nerf about overpowered artefacts, and then 1.68 will come

Otherwise it's awesome expansion, 15 quid well spent. Even tho it is a huge timesink, i dont mind spending time exploring and fighting in such lush graphics especially like the dawn twilight when underwater. :worthy:

 

[Faeldawn]

I dont have ToA, but i can tell you that everyone else having ToA has had an unexpected impact on RvR.

Read on the US servers that ToA killed RvR for a few months, but here it seems to have rejuvenated it.

Went for an Emain run yesterday on my own, expecting to get zerged as usual, but found a few small fights and duels.

Very few assassins around (all lvling ML's and artifacts to be "uber" as is the assassin mindset afaik) and those i did find were low rr or sub-50 (made for some fun fights).

Emain atm is much like it was in the first few months of release (except you dont find many lvl 20's running around ) quite refreshing beign able to pass thru a MG without being zerged by a dozen assassins, ran over by a high-rr fg or volleyed by a scout from miles away.

Even able to go AFK behind a tree to answer the call of nature and not come back to find a toon-corpse with a long string of spam emotes from my killer

I agree i was in Odins last night we took 2 keeps with very little resistance. i am still waiting on my delivery of ToA but at least it got me my rr4 ding last night

 

[LordjOX]

imo, ToA sucks- money down the drain :<

 

[bigmammas]

Dont have TOA yet but everyone seems to enjoy it so I will get it ASAP

 

[Yaemon]

I find ToA fun but Id rather have new frontiers. I can only agree with the author of this thread.. It will take a couple of months to be ready for rvr again.. feel really sorry for people who have many 50's.

ml's and artifacts seem nice.. but the scrollfarming is insane.. (been pulling mobs for my 3rd scroll for 30-40 hours now).

I would recommend you all to put the scrolls you are looking for (and the ones you have but dont need) at www.toascrolls.com

 

[Aeicaan]

best thing that have happend to daoc since we got RAs imo

 

[Deadnala]

imo, ToA sucks- money down the drain :<

I disagree that...

- The graphics are awsome
- Drops are cool
- Money loot is uber
- Nice artifacts
- ML will learn ppl to play in big groups with tactics, not to run like chickens like we used to
- one contra.. you need a beter pc

i love it tbh greetings

= pve = boring = toa is shit.

 

[freakyphil]

So far I love TOA, graphics are great.

The first time you dive underwater is simply amazing! Just makes you go "ooooooooooh"!


Complaints? Well, the lag is damned annoying, too many people are getting it for it to be PC based in my opinion... Everything seems a bit 'vague' in terms of what to do. I know thats half the point, but I am feeling kinda overwhelmed by just how MUCH there is I need to do to get my cool stuff!

Manners seem to have gone out the window too, people stampeding past you to get to stuff before you can, with cries of 'am in a hurry' when you point it out.

The fact that I have met people doing ML4 already kinda worries me, seems as though people are trying to race through as fast as possible. Me, I am taking in the sights, trying not to die, and simply exploring and trying to get my scrolls. Once more of my guild has it then I suspect the fun will start!

 

[ilaya]

i think it's a big pile of shit what more can i say? hehe

big fuck up by mythic by trying to bleed more money out of us for price of game.. but i bet more peeps leave with their subs than toa could ever make thru sales alone.

new gfx.. wow.. i play just to see pretty pictures.. bollox
new drops.. erm.. wont count for shit until u do Ml's.. try asking peeps without toa how they feel about new drops.
new skins.. yay! wow! thats what we wanted! worth the money!.. ffs.. if u gonna do summit new gfx wise.. hows about those new emblems.. or even an emblem editor? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much to ask i spose..

not a happy bunny despite my sig

 

[Raven]

= pve = boring = toa is shit.

if all you want is rvr go and play planetside.

Enjoying it a lot atm, pain to get some of the scrolls. Nice to explore the new areas.

 

[Tigersans]

I love it im not a 24/7 player finding it hard to get mls as not on often enough and miss groups nd others are on ml2 up now so i feel ive missed out.

So if you can live without the Ml's the Toa is gr8 good areas to explore quests and artifacts you can get solo which is ideal if you have trouble getting grps...

All in all i think its gr8 just have to see how crap i am in rvr with mls if im bad then i might see toa as crap and spoilt the game for the non hardcore players

 

[evial bloodstone]

toa looks great but its not an improment of the game. Same shit in new wraping. To bad we cant solo ml, that whod be great as geting grp is aways a pain.

 

[Divinia]

why does 50% of the ppl who write here talk about DAoC as some crappy shit someone force you to play as a punishment.. you always got a choise, you coulda quitted a long time ago.. And for god's sake stop acting like you are the center of the universe.

 

[Nicky Nook]

^^ agree with that ...tbh its great if all you want to do is R v R go play CS or summin i mean name me one better MMO than DAoC atm even for R v R / P v P ?
