Thinking of playing again. questions

[Aada]

Ok i left after TOA came out.. im a pvper at heart and the fact i'd have to do a few months of items/quests etc just to be on par with anyone else killed the game.

However the classic server has had me interested for sometime.

1. How is lvling? no doubt most people on the server are lvl 50 il most likely be soloing so how is soloing? is it viable or will be i stuck lvling for 3 months? I will probably roll a Vampirr as they seem like a great soloer from what i have read.

2. Buffbots.. should i make one from scratch to lvl with my Vampirr.

3. Will i need a group for lvling?

hm yep thats the 3 main issues for me atm.

WOW and the rest of the crap released aint nothing like DOAC and i miss the RVR.

1 - Vampire is one of the best soloers in the game. There are also lots of catacombs quest that give alot of xp for the higher levels (especially good for level 40+)

2- Buff bots cant be used on classic server.... Buffs are group only so unless you drag him round on stick you cannot have one. Also note a Vampire does not need a buff bot, the class has inherent buffs and can only use AF buff and weapon haste buff anyway.

3- Not with a vampire you wont.

Thanks for the help.

How is soloing though in general? obviously its not as fast as grouping but will i be leveling at a decent rate?

I made a Vampiir on Classic and soloed it to about 40 or so, it was fast, very fast actually. I dont think you will have problems leveling a vamp as they chain pull mobs easy with pierce / Shadow Mastery spec. =)

Went to GAME this morning and bought Catacombs ah the memories are coming back and i feel like a newb all over again im definatly going to roll a VAMP i hope there is atleast a few people lvling still

 

[Aada]

Now i got a problem.. ive installed Catacombs put it on my old account (which has TOA/SI) but it says i still need to activate it? im confused

 

[Biggilus]

i take it you've gone to www.camelot-europe.com and actiavted it there?
if not, then do so

also, nevermind what class you're gonna be, the instanced task dungeons are great for soloing, ive never grouped at all with any of my toons (first was a warlock, grouped 20-39ish but *honestly* found soloing the 40+ TDs was a quicker experience), but levelling anyoen else is fairly quick, nothign like the drag used to be pre-cata

 

[Aada]

Yup activated it there and its still not working ;/ wtf

 

[Brackus]

aada, if your put off the toa servers because of artis etc, then they have changed a lot

now you only need credit + scrolls and you will get it activated
scrolls drop more often and are cheaper
artifacts lvl everywhere now
master levels are often done in runs, i.e. over a few days you can get ml10

that said, classic is still fun and I have played a vamp myself and they are fairly overpowered on toa servers, but on classic servers.... you have "auto self buffs stats" which means you have an uber advantage already on classic

lvling 1-50 is a pain, but one of things you have to do, once thats over get a template of sorts and have funL

 

[Killswitch]

Someone told me that they levelled a vamp solo 1-50 in under 1 day /played in the Catacombs Task instances.

Good luck

When the classic servers opened, the first lvl40 was a solo vampiir.

(in hib ofc..)

 

[Aada]

Still can't access Catacombs content.. activated Catacombs around 9.30 this morning sent an email to RIGHTNOW heard nothing back.


It says activated on my subs screen so i have no clue as what is happening crock of shit ;/

 

[Ryuno]

Sometimes it takes a few hours to update, but I guess all you can do is wait to hear back from GoA over Rightnow

And I agree Vampiir solo is incredibly quick xp

 

[Raven]

They had DAOC in GAME?

Whats the world coming to!

Remeber trying to get ToA and couldnt find it anywhere, only at Amazon

In Classic, if you roll a Vamp, what are they like as level 50 soloers in PVE ?

Given you won't have artis, can they, for example, solo epic mobs (level 50 epic armour quest) ?
