Trials of Atlantis?

[DroP DeaD]

In the upcoming Add-On Trials of Atlantis is it said that we might get another one or two character slots or do we have to save some so we can play with the new race?

 

[Skaven]

First ive heard of it. Isn't 8 slots enough?

 

[DroP DeaD]

Yea it is enough but it means you have to keep a character slot free untill the add on comes out just to play with the new race or classes

 

[vargen]

All we know is that another PvE expansion totaly sucks ass.. Mythic thinks that this game is all about PvE?
What we need is RvR expanion imo.. SI is enough on the PvE side.

I mean.. who wants to hunt dropps anyway?.. Mythic came up with the 100% stupid idea to let players create their own uber dropps with spellcraftinga dn Alchery.

They need to grow a brain imo.

 

[DroP DeaD]

Erm there is a RvR expansion coming out...

 

[Loth]

Yeah, but the PvE one is coming first

I think we need RvR enhancements, not more PvE stuff. SI + classic zones is plenty for PvE IMO.

Yeah but, 1 new race per realm. No new classes. And if your main is on alb then who wants to play a half-ogre?

no, you can just delete one of your current chars also

 

[DroP DeaD]

Exactly... You have to keep a slot open... Coz even if you make 1 your gonna delete it so really you still are keeping it free

Lots of people playing the game for PvE allso, infact ill bet its about even, and have no worries a PvP expansion is on the way allso.

Imho ToA is a good thing, allways good with some new stuff to explore

 

[arrakeen]

and yeah i think that giving us 2 new slots would be nice, since all my slots allrdy are used

 

[old.job]

I do like PVE expansions, the problem is they are a bit boring, SI has totally underwhelmed me.
There is no substance to the new areas, just an endless supply of new mobs in empty dungeons or endless forests, there needs to be more point to the mobs.

Reall Mythic can you get someone with a little imagination to create the world, I could have designed SI in a week on my home PC.

 

[Whoodoo_RD]

Im a PvE fan myself, got tottaly sick of the emain mentallity on all servers; zerg or be zerged.

However I tend to agree that the caves in Si are lacking. Gone to the wind is soloing, or even you and a freindly shammy or bot, heck TG even needs at lesast 4-5fg to get anywhere decent - although i like the idea of getting us to team work more.

Trollheim - baf like no where else, endless pathing bugs, not to bad for 2 ppl to do but limited how deep you can go.

Iarnwoods lair - too far to get too, weird mobs between you and the dungeon, baf ranges on low mobs are extreem (think they fixed this), damn cadbys giving a 50 minute timer disease soits essential to take a seer.

OK spind did suck a little, but at least it was more fun.

As for the uber gear, well dont know about you but i cant craft bracers, rings, necklaces or sc'able cloaks, so there is a need for it. Also we all need cash - unless youre gonna be a homeless bum come foundations.

Wait and see eh, and stop whinging about things you know squat about and go back to emain.

 

[rhemis]

It pisses me off that they dont actually bother to fix everything thats wrong with our classes now...no hang on...ffs..lets ADD NEW ONES!! yey and create more unbalance and dodgy bugged classes!! nice one Mythic....i really do dispair...roll on WoW!!

 

[old.tRoG]

Ehm... There are no new classes in ToA.

 

[cougar-]

rly

 

[Eshire]

Expansions maybe good but there is something that has been pissing me of some time now. They make expansionpacks that we have to pay for (no problem with that) but why in gods name will they not expand the classic zones? How many times havent I been chased by a group of monsters and *bang* you ran into a invisible wall! Two years ago it was ok, a new game and all but nowadays? Come on, fix the original game aswell, dont just make new addons that bug. Like add some faces to the existing characters (longer, shorter hair etc). Even make some changes to the stats, why not be able to decrease some stats with a maximum of 5-10 depending on the race (for example give the avalonian fighers a chance to mix the world abit). *sighs*

 

[_asq_shazzy]

I agree with you Eshire, it would be nice to have a larger collection of looks for our characters. But i don't agree with the stats changes, there fine as they are. I want to see RvR improvement, main issue for every is the massive lag when large scale battles are happening. They said they improved it with SI (BULLS**T) are is the word that comes to me. PvE and RvR expansions are good to hear about, but they should be working on making the game better as it is at the moment, not rushing off to make new expansions.

 

[old_saxo]

why the fuck no new class to the half-ogre

who wanna make a armsman whit 100 str 100 intellegent or a mage whit 100 str ? it completly useless or ? well i thought. there would be some UBER class fitting perfect to str and intellegent some specaly fighter whit spells

Maby like the Unit from Warcraft The Frozen Throne

Spellbreaker great fighter , Can Take buffs from enemys and drop em to your own realm, a self buff that will destroy 5% of the enemys power each hit you make. And can convert Summon units to your own ? would be a coool class

tell the Gaheris server that

anyway the majority of RvR (emain) is pretty one dimensional at the moment so who'd like that eh?

 

[Flimgoblin]

anyway all I can tell you about ToA is "omg the trees"

oh and the NDA is very NDA too

 

[old.Ramas]

The RvR expansion (Frontiers) was orignially due in the next month or so (in the US). It got bumped to Spring 2004 due to Foundations taking longer than expected, and it seems it's the same team at Mythic working on it (led by Copper, for those of you who follow message boards).

The fact it is led by Copper, suggests it will focus primarily on providing new or changed RvR envoronments.

However, it apparently takes 4-6 months to "translate" a patch, so I wouldn't expect to see Frontiers over here for at least a year.

There is one good thing about Frontiers coming after ToA.

ToA introduces Master Levels, which promise to bork up RvR balance at least as much as SC and RAs. At least with an RvR expansion immeadiately after ToA, there is an opportunity to fix the balance problems ToA introduces.

 

[old.Ramas]

tell the Gaheris server that

What? The whole server's worth of players? All 12 of them?

 

[AbPoon]

Mythic havent even stated the master level abilitys can even be used in rvr yet, from whats been said by mythic they havent even sorted out what to do with them yet.

 

[luin]

Who has 7 alts?? i mean 1s they play.....

anyway, ToA is gonna be cool....master lvls is intreiging me....
