Time to start revising and learning about Darkness Rising

[Garok]

DF drops have all been updated all Drops now have stats/resists stat caps + 2 procs or charges (ie Armour with 80pt heal and 150pt Alb)

Legion - Jewelry

High Lords + Princes - Weapons

Grand Chan - Chest Armour

Also seems to be a large amount of decient one time drops which you get while doing your champ level quests.

DF kinda died after ToA but with decient drops and new 15 min entry timer should get some good fights in their on the classic servers just like the old days ;o.

When it first came it was retardedly slow. Now I can dual log and sticking bot with mach5 and sprint in zergy areas, not possible on ANY other client
I run
2.66 ghz P4
1024 DDR ram(333 mhz or 400)
Ati Radeon 9700 pro

3 year old puter so it does good

1.81 patch just smooth it up for some reason, havent been able to dual log on stick since 1.76

i cant duel log and run on stick, adn i have 2.4 ghz p4, 1024 400 mhz ram and ati radeon 9700 xt

Do you NEED to have catas to use DR?

Yes

One thing which I have been trying to find out about champ lines but haven't got an answer to are which abilities share the same recast timer? Do fighter charges share with rogue timers for example? Or is each spell independant? If they are all independant, the fighter line is fantastic.

Instas:
11%parry buff,
10%mezz reduction,
End regen 1 buff, (does it stack?)
60 AF buff,
5%ABS buff,
150point ablative buff,
5dps dmg add buff (does this stack?)

If they're all independant timers then it's not just a small pve expansion, this is the sort of stuff which will win fights. It's the equivalent of being about 20% more resistant in melee fights when they're all up.

the client is supposed to run much nicer than previous ones? anyone confirm this?

The client handles loading of zones much better than any previous client, and duel logging. Most of NS have found that it lags loads in rvr though so are using toa.

Was planning to go that fighter line with my Cleric seems well nice, BoF3 + WG + Battler + that 60 AF and 5% ABS buff and 150 point ablative and 11% parry.. nice tank who can hit you for more than 10 damage then
Also thought it had a melee resists increase with a 5 min reuse.
Only problem would be if you meet a Champ with his rr5 up then

you cant have 5% arbsorb and the 60 af at the same time, and im not sure if the af stack with cleric spec af

 

[SvMontrey]

More pve for more hmmm Complicated rvr?
still will be better with some mounts for non speed classes and soloers

Was thinking along the same lines for my heretic I'm just wondering if any of them will work or not Tics already have a cast ABS buff (which doesn't stack with necro ABS buff), we already have our spec sheild (562extra AF) and we already have a damage add It still seems to look better then any other line so far though.

Can't use that in frontiers?

GG +1? :<

So the official release date on the official website is 1st Feb 2006.

How much is it going to cost?
How can we get it? CD/DVD/Download?

I searched for other places that might have it:

Play.com
Dark Age Of Camelot: Darkness Rising (Expansion Pack)
our price: £14.99 Delivered
availability: Due for release on 03/02/2006 (2 days after the official release??)
RRP: £19.99 You save: £5.00 (25%)

I couldn't find it on GAME's website
I couldn't find it on Gameplay.co.uk
Froogle couldn't find it
MSN Shopping found an "Epic Edition" from the US from a few shops
HMV couldn't find it
Virgin Megastores couldn't find it

So apart from people that have heard of the game, is there going to be any new blood that will be able to buy this expansion anywhere?!

I have to check my latest games magazines to see if there is any advertising in there. I need new blood to kill :>

PS It's funny how you can buy World of Warcraft in EVERY shop that sells computer games (pretty much). I reckon the marketing manager of DAOC just keeps the money to himself/herself and just lords it up flying to monte carlo, renting a ferrari and living a playboy lifestyle :>
