Isn't that what made most people leave ? MLs, Artis, class imbalances ? Even in the old days with the mile gate campers and zergs, the was still more respect going around then than there is now. Why do you think that is ?

What game are you talking about, just curious. Cause you're sure as hell not talking about daoc

I miss people I played with but... mmorpgs only have a limited lifespan and you'll never get the same feeling we had with early daoc again. Adding new classes, terrains, expansions extends the life of the game a little bit, but it can't ever recreate the newness. Even in new games RvR won't be new. I've played a few other games and I've not found the community feeling that early daoc had. I don't know if this is just me or if it's because of the realm mechanics or what.

if you look closely you might see that the old times were nothing but a huge add/zergfest, while I can agree it was a lot of fun back then and lots of ppl would still enjoy it, personally I'd probably quit insta if the proper fg action just disappeared :e.

 

[Vodkafairy]

some things are better left as a good memory.

 

[blejs]

I can say this after playing a freeshard server with OLD frontiers, and rvred in Emain. And having no MLS abilitys. And trying live latly abit.

The RvR was so much more fun on the freeshard server imo, speedwarps / banelords / grapple / bg = not fun

But also the freeshard had action alot to.


So i would say if live would have old emain, no mls old keep system. It would be more fun. Dont need to have artis either, but some wouldnt be such a problem to have..

And remember the freeshard had stuff as castspeed,range,pierce etc to.

Never a truer word spoken (or typed i guess)

 

[Aqe]

Like Kag said, A server with everything we got now but with OF. (could have the towers/keeps as they are now tho but no teleporting)

i want everyone back in tier one epics camping milegates

oh and the old relic raids. 300 - 400 ppl. remember trying to get past a milegate with a relic? or trying to stop a relic from getting past?

laggy as hell but damn it was fun when the server could handle it without crashing...


when there was no buffbots, when random groups actually was viable.


just take half a realm, go take a keep and see how long u could hold it!


doing things coz it was FUN doing it. not because there isnt anything better to do


man i wanna be a clueless noob again

 

[Solari]

No, I miss the playerdatabse but that's it.

Sure nf can be annoying when it comes to bridgecamping or long ass relic raids (or not, hello CM.) ect.

But nf also added some diversity to the game.

I don't think we could ever go back to pre-Toa days, and the lowbie rogster warfare will never return since people would never be able to give up the idea of maxing out your characters performance, that's what happens to any game this old, the players strife to compete at the highest level which in essence the rvr part of this game is about except for having a helluva lot of fun

 

[Haggus]

man i wanna be a clueless noob again

a-fucking-men ?

 

[Shafu]

In a heartbeat (for the reasons Kagato stated).

Sure, nostalgia plays a part, but only because it WAS good. You wont see me getting nostalgic about NF. Not when I quit daoc. Not in 10 years from now. Not ever.

 

[Kaun_IA]

woted no... but only thing id like to get back is the OPEN FIELDS ... not fighting near keeps or eny ingame man made objects

 

[Xajin]

I would vote yes, if:

1. Mythic removed every expansion (except SI) from that server.
2. It was only OF.

Zergfest, yes, but the layout of the RvR zones was more simple where terrain rarely gave some advantage (exampe: NF water gives huge advantage), and classes was more equal at that time. Also the new RA system NF brought was very bad, as it made a too big line between low and high RR (I agree there should be some benefit from being high rr, but not this much). I agree there was some flaws like insane growth rate on LA, insane dmg delve on smite clerics, svg chance to quattro hit and dragonfang duration, but if Mythic just would make an individual patch that would fix these things on just that server, then I would say we had the perfect server.
PvE was as it should be, and not the retarded pre-steps to get you to the actual boss, and NO scroll farming. I dislike the entire concept about ToA and how it has turned. Why farm scrolls to activate and item that droped fairly off a encounter? Why change it, so the artifacts is no longer droppable, and degrade it to a useless pile of nothing? Why make pre-steps to GET to the REAL boss that will grant you the ability, instead of just one TOUGH boss, which most games has proven succesfull with when it comes to items/abilities? I don't understand why they've done it, nor will I ever do, no matter how hard people try to explain....

 

[Kjel]

Wow, people still play this? Anyways, best RvR ever = patch 1.58 - after attack speed debuffs stopped interrupting and the Hibs came out to play again. Pre-ToA too, so all you had to do was get to 50, SC yourself and TADA! Ready to RvR with a new character, though you'd still be gimpy with the lack of RAs. Not that it mattered, because clearly, we were uber.

 

[Konah]

pre-toa + balance&crafting changes, no new classes, no new items, no ca$hcow unbalanced/ill-concieved expansions, no design by commitee, no design by majority. stay true to the original concept of the game: rvr is the end game, not hours-weeks-months of pve bullshit. if u like pve go find a different game.

mythic can kiss my :kissit:

OK so you just told a chunk of the remaining faithful players to leave.

This thread is an example of 'everything would be wonderful if' syndrome.

People think everything would be wonderful if the servers cluster, if there is a classic server, if they move to guild Uberwhatsit, if their guild moves to alliance Uberhitemalot... If there was ONLY rvr. If there were ONLY totally fair fights where they stand in a circle and take turns to bow at people and fight. Then they get what they ask for and funnily enough it doesn't make things totally wonderful. They still aren't uberkillonsight people, or it turns out to be seriously boring, so they leave.

If you turned the servers into classic servers with old frontiers, and took away everyone's templated equipment they had worked to get, and deleted all the new character classes, then most people would leave. I would.

I believe what actually matters more than the game content is the people and their attitudes. That is the real difference, if any, between then and now.

 

[Expreso]

give back SI times...

or even TOA+OF

but always OF

 

[Heta]

voted no as I dont play the game anymore, and dont care for doing it again

 

[Maddude]

Voted yes.

Simply because i had allot more fun in the old days, could off stayed at the SI expantion when the Spellcrafting came, didnt even need spellcrafting...

Was kinda fun to use like 91% Qual weapons cause it had a "uber" proc on it etc.

 

[Raven]

from a solo perspective i much prefer NF, in OF you only really had 3 places to go solo emain (no go for a solo visual) Odins gate, some nights it was great there, most of the time though it was a FG area, again no go for solo, which left HW, which was either brilliant or empty.
then there was the mile gates which you had to go through, this meant if they wanted to two groups could ruin the solo pvp for the entire night by camping the mile gates, which left logging or pve.

these days if one place is zergy there are other places to go, for everyone, you can have fg action in one zone, zerg action in another and solo in another. everyone is a winner. keep takes are far more involved these days, more to do at them, rather than bash gate 1, bash gate 2, kill lord etc you have an element of stratagy with decent siege weaponry.

I think more than anything NF is what it should have been from the start. the only thing i dont like about NF is the new RAs (wasnt that a later patch anyway? cant remember)

 

[Meduza]

Voted Yes!

- Miss ol' times DAoC!
- Miss my ownage of Odin's gate!

C u in WO!

Why do we get these kind of threads every week?

I hated the milegates in the oldfronters, a shokepoint where you had "try" to sneak your way past 2-6 stealthers everytime... Not fun with a littel RM, no wonder I hate to solo. There is no shokepoints in NF and for that I like it. I would like to have the old back fronter becose that meens no artis, no ml's... Hmm.. it do meen aswell uneven RA's, dosent it..? (hehe, and dont give me the bag of old arguments we had before the RA system where remade... coz I dont think you would have had the mids RA's as they where then, I realy dont.)

 

[Alme]

If u would get the same feeling when playing as u did back then, then yea id want it back. I doubt that would be the case tho ;o
