this was so obviously going to happen, everything on the WAR front has been dead to the world for us lately.
Nothing is being hyped or presented, quite concerning when you hear rumours of staff cuts etc (although I do realise how rumours can grow and twist).
Would be nice for some reassurance atm from somebody, I hate saying this, but atm this reminds me of a certain game called Shadowbane.
On the other hand, lets hope things are going well, but they just wanted more time to make the game even better (more presentable to the public). One thing for sure though, WOW and their coming expansion is going to play a major part in peoples minds with this latest twist I reckon).
DAoC was released here in March or smth right? Doesn't seem too late in the year for an mmorpg(iirc wow was released around the same time, but who cares about wow)
Yes thats true, we all know how easy it is to shout 'they released too early....my char is stuck in a hole' (etc).
REgards RVR.
They have to realise that nobody cares whatsoever about WOW style open RVR targets, such as capture a tower which can be retaken 5 mins later, which adds 5% damage in that zone.
Its pointless and something no1 does more than a few times unelss its some quest.
DAOC had 'epic' RVR targets and rewards. Something worth defending and taking. They need such content in WAR imo.
[sarcasm] No, that'd be a bad idea because how could you explain that players from their own capital cities can't just buy that loot from the local merchants or something like that. I think we need relics. [/sarcasm]Like capital cities you mean and being able to siege them for the best loot in the game?
Depends how they ae handled, if they are a WOW BG, then no.
If its a case of everyone can pile in (a la DAOC relic raid), yes.
Having 50 vs 50 instances for example, isnt RVR, its just plucked out of WOW and called something else.
We will see though, if its a momentous event where everyone feels compelled to go attack/defend, could be amazing.
i think a lot of people will be dissapointed when WAR doesnt turn out to be DAOC2 (in terms of rvr) -
You'd imagine people would simply watch the blog vids they made about rvr, it's obviously very different from DAoC.
Given that only a relatively small number of people (70k rings a bell) ever played DAoC, and WAR will be likely aiming at WoW figures (upwards of a million most likely), it's likely that such disappointments will pass unnoticed. I'm afraid DAoC players, past and present, represent an infintesimally small portion of the modern mmorpg market.
