OMG!!! Mythic actually listened to his customers????

1. GREAT

2. No need comment, biggest need even.

3. EIGHT SLOT! Now that´s one of the reasons I´ll prolly keep this game!

4. 5. 6. 7. Well pretty good over all

8. Heheheh Melee happiness

9. Keep meaning sth, at last

10. A littl EQ server... well...

11. Muahahahah... so I can have some advantage and make insta thidranki chars? weeeeeeeee

12. At last but not least.

Tbh, this stunned me (healer stun, longer duration, and ae of course, stunning me inside a defending keep´s gate), Mythic actually listened... Some plees were demanded LONG time, like lvl 41-50 being SLOW, and can´t group with friends higher lvl (that stupid prevent powergamer stuff), and lvl 50s don´t need to lvl another char from 0 till 50 but having actually some reward reaching the end of the game in term of lvling.

Now just hope they don´t lie in their statement (like wardens can´t pull and being able to give pets wpns hehehe) and I´m sure many of us will be pleased with this.

Comments? ^_^

1) Sounds great to me, high-level grouping is notoriously hard to achieve at odd hours (i.e. late night / early morning) and I hope this will help. Elsewhere maybe this will encourage players to help each other out more... well you have to hope, don't you.

2) Nice. Can't really say more than that, I guess it makes having a level 50 character before they make this change all the more rewarding, too.

3) This is great news. I guess they're just giving players two accounts on their database, rather than fiddling with the code to give players 5 or 6 slots. This also means I won't keep having to delete my alts when I want to try something new

4) Good call, this could well be a big issue. Having played UO through the trammel/felluca split, I know that introducing large new aspects to the game can be a very dangerous business. As I'm not personally desperate for either skill to be added to the game (it'll be nice but it's not desperately needed) I'm happy for them to take their time over it and get it right.

5) See above.

6) Don't quite understand it but if it involves monsters patrolling certain areas more in response to hunting, calling for help and having proper behavioural patterns (i.e. not just running at you, interspersed with casting, followed by bashing on you) then I think this could be a great addition to the game.

7) Ho hum, not much to say about this, nice that they're remembering it though.

8) Sounds good, I hear of lots of disgruntled RvRing tanks.

9) Uhuh, nice, not much to say here, again.

10) That kind of thing's not my bag, baby. What's the point of trying to reach 50?

11) THIS I LIKE. levels 10-20 are usually the most tedious for a player if they're working on an alt. Also it gives instant BG access, which is cool, but I can't help thinking that guilds will build armies 'on demand' for thidranki sessions. This could be kinda cool though now that I think about it...

sweet

Great stuff



Now all we need is a third English Server

 

[Jiggs]

all good stuff there. curious to see the melee improvements

 

[Envenom2]

yeah very good i like the game anyway i havent really got a single complaint about it tbh il still be here even when SWG does come out who knows SWG might be a pile of shit for all we know.
Only reason its so hyped is becuase its Star wars.

 

[old.Xarr]

if they can do just half of those things i'll be one happy clam

 

[Eblessair]

yeah, saw that 15 mins ago, kicks ass

 

[HargloweHyfryd]

It certainly looks great!! bring it on

 

[Juanita]

Especially the point of xp-ing between 41 and 50.
I HATE xp-ing. Thats why my char is not 50 yet, but when this will hit us (prolly early spring tthough ) i'll try and lvl my main AND alt to 50

 

[Whoodoo_RD]

All good stuff, perhaps things are looking up, question for Euro is.....when?

 

[Flimgoblin]

1.52 middle of october...

1.53 middle of november? sooner?

end of october they can put 1.52 on test, so can start translating 1.53.... wonder how long it'll take....

 

[old.Krusha]

hmm the herald is down when i wanted to go back and check one thing (i did read it earler today ), the "if you got a 50 you startat 20" was it per realm or account?

(my guess is realm .. but one can only hope .. 1-20 is as tedious on all realms when youve done it once ... imho its in the 20-25 region your toon starts to turn into a character, prior that its just a pain)

 

[Flimgoblin]

they've not specified it yet Krusha...

It's all vague stuff in that post ... nothing concrete - so it might end up being level 10, and only on the first tuesday of every month

 

[Gef]

Arggg cant see it, site down? Help!!

 

[Gef]

Ah working now, ignore me

10)A major new server type will be added to the game. As always, we listen to our users and based on popular demand we will be adding a “Cooperative” server to our game. You will not be able to fight any other player on this server, and, like the PvP server, all realms will be open to all people. This means you will be able to group with any other character and race from the other realms and adventure with them without worrying about being PKd. We are also working on another server type that will appear after the release of SI. We are committed to adding many other types of servers over the DAoC’s lifetime.

we would need more spec points lol as we wouldnt get any RR bonuses or RA's

but on the whole i like what there goin to do

 

[old.LandShark]

At the new server.... BAHH!
What possible reason is there to restrict even the frontiers from being RvR?
Blah, bleh and flah...
All I've wanted is a server where i can group an RvR group from all 3 realms, and then they do this :]

still, great stuff

2)Speeding up the leveling time between levels 41 and 50. As above, we have seen that these levels take longer to go through than we believe is optimal. Thus, we are greatly reducing the time it will take to complete them.

AKA DAoC MMORPG -> Pokemon conversion. See thread in main forum for details. I personally think if this goes in it'll be the worst patch yet (and that's saying something!)

 

[Khalen]

The part about cooperative teaming looks interesting Wonder what an ultimate team would be with all those mixed classes

If you call cheapening the whole thing and making you feel cheating "rewarding" sure!

 

[old.Takahome]

Well... with 8 slot u got plenty of tools to lvl anyway, I´ve got a lvl 50, and I still tnk the lvling from 41 to 50´s way too long, I won´t mind c more lvl 50 albion guardians/warders on frontier, as long as the buff bot crap got sorted out I´m happy tbh.

Mainly coz my NS´s lvl 41 now and he´s suffering from it and damn it´s slow :<

Btw, that Gorre insta lvl 24 is true, any1 who interested to lvl a lvl 24 char can do it in 5 min getting inside the palace and find vault keeper, by his side there´s a special trainer, make a macro saying training and u´ll hit 24 with infinit golds. Skald at lvl 24 is a fun tool to play with Oh and u can bind at teleport pad, so it´s die, teleport, die, teleport (4 mids and albs, since hibs must run :<)

I agree 40-50 is too long, but reducing overall xp is not a good move IMO, they should rebalance the XPing so 30-40 takes a bit longer and 40-50 takes a bit less.
