WoW So great...

[Xeanor]

I am a bit disappointed that Blizzard didnt do anything more innovative or fresh.

You haven't played it and you're already disappointed....

I don't promote WoW or anything like other strange people here, but the PvP has been fun so far.

i played it. there is no range check at end of spellcast

get your facts right... there is.. playing a druid atm constantly getting is to far away on release of spells.. happens alot when trying to root people thats running away..

WoW and DaoC doesn't seem that different from what I've seen (only seen PvE in wow tho). I am a bit disappointed that Blizzard didnt do anything more innovative or fresh.

mohahahaha.. only seen pve and your thinking blizzard didnt do anything more innovative.. daoc-pve vs wow-pve wouldnt even be a match daoc would have KOed itself on the way to the ring...

I would even go so far as saying daoc-pvp vs wow-pvp also has a clear winner and it aint DAOC.. only thing im missing is a award system for it (they working on it).. PvP is more fun because there is less CC and its alot more balanced + easier .. a random group of equal lvl as the gank squad is going to be able to fight back some and therefore continue going out into the battle field.. never really seen the fun part about being mezzed as a whole group gets picked out 1 bye 1.. Also after lvl 20 when your doing quests in contested areas you have alot of non intended PvP, like you just run into eachoter.. thats some real fun PvP!! WoW is the best game out there no doubt.. Rest of reasons why daoc suck currently you can look at my sig... DAoC was the best game Until WoW was released.. the real sad part is that DAOC actually was better before.. the whole idea of patching is to make the game better and better NOT WORSE.. worse is what daoc became..

Seen loads of WoW accounts up for sale on ebay - and some asking to trade for a DAoC account Not tried WoW personally so I will not comment on which is better. I was on the Wish beta - was looking good but they pulled the plug so it's a non starter.

I have suggested it b4 but here goes again - Mythic have tried to populate the servers that have fewer players - why not allow ppl to pay to get lvl 50 chars on those servers - please don't say "Be loads of noobs not knowing how there chars work...." go check e-bay some ppl are making a business of creating tailor made chars for ppl - Just be more legit and cheaper if Mythic allowed ppl to buy chars for there under populated realm (and of course more money in the coffers)

 

[lofff]

happened to me alot that i finished a spell and while spamming next spell i get an out of range msg.

anyway what annoys me too about wow is the fuckslow casting. as overpowered sorc with 411 dex it almost kills me to see a 2,5sec spell getting casted.
And i don't really believe in that talenttree either, in the end i think there will be a 'best talent spec for class X " too. and all chars from the same class will be pretty much equal .

this is fucking scary.

An asssie post with more than 1 line and some actual content t.t

pay mythic more money to start with a better characther?? uke:
If people have a hard time playing their game they should improve it not try to drag even more money out of it..
"hey i know u are playing this GAME for FUN but arent enjoying it, but if u pay us more money we will make u more powerful in game keke"

(though they are already doing this with their INTENDED buffbots)

or how about a more fair solution: people on a underpopulated server get a exp (or maybe even rp) bonus relative to the most populated one

I have played the beta of it I assume that's a good impression of it

Whole mezzed thing can be countered no? Purge is invented, and blade turns.. allso the a smart thing as spreading out when you see someone incoming.

but i guess wow's cc is way better, if you get polymorphed under water you drown, 2 rogues can chain stun you, or just sap someone, WHICH there is no way of encountering, but in daoc you have purge, high chance of resisting (with resist buffs and such things!) and mezz/stun bladeturns, allso you have cure mezz.

end of the day, Mythic dished up with the most advanced pvp system in a mmorpg, and so far, everything wow been announcing about their "new" pvp system, is just a flawed rip off.

hence balance.. wow is really balanced! Horde has so much better racials than alliance, and the two unique classes really creates balance aswell!

I don't see how the topic-starter can be happy that the wow servers are laggin, not like it's gonna affect his game, if they ran smoothly.

Why do people have to either love WoW, or make war against it?

 

[Otep]

Every time I see a DAOC player try to write something negative about WoW... it turns out to be complete bullshit and just bitterness because of their addiction to DAOC.

Seriously, don't bother dissing WoW, it's pointless as you will fail.

Omg Jesus walks, Jesus walks!!!!111
:worthy:

Imo wow is another disapointment on lvl of Shadowbane, and shadowbane even got more intresting pvp imo... We need something new..

i played it. there is no range check at end of spellcast

Which still isn't true, there is. Although this sure explains a lot about your views in DAoC when you can't seem to notice such simple game mechanics.

Actually, if you start casting a spell, and they go out of range it will still cast. But if they go way out of range it won't. So you get extra range when it checks it at the end I guess.

Yup, there's the thing. It checks the range on both occasions, but at the casting point the range is futher than in the beginning. Aussie just doesn't know and starts drooling around as soon as he sees something he doesn't understand.

End note for Aussie: there is a range check on both, when you begin to cast and actual point of casting. End of story.

 

[Phusion]

imo:
WoW pve > daoc pve.
WoW PvP < daoc PvP.
WoW quests > daoc quests.
WoW graphics > daoc graphics (not talking about catacombs or so)
WoW traveling stuff like gryphons etc > horses in daoc (corner, stop, turn 90degrees, continue running etc).

2 uber games, that is for sure, but i am bored of daoc atm, so i try wow.

 

[Daedalus]

Indeed. I very much liked the WoW open beta, and will play the retail once the dust settles down a bit (dodge server downtimes, the first wave of retarded players, etc).

However, it's not DAoC 2. It can't and won't replace DAoC. They're two different games. No-one will, or should think "WoW's better than DAoC, so I'll play WoW!". That is too simple, at least, I assume that everyone plays DAoC because he or she likes the game, and not because he or she has to play some MMORPG.

So, with that in mind I simply do not take the yay- and neysayers seriously. I find the handful of idiots who say things like "omg, daoc sucks I'll go play WoW now!!1" rather sad. I won't say "Get a life, n00b" (My own life isn't exactly the standard prefab-life most people have), but just.. rethink your motivation to play any game. If it's "must play because the other game sucks" then there's something wrong.

I'll be playing WoW for as long as I want to, and the same goes for DAoC. Regardless of eachother. Even if I were to make a choice between those two, I would ask myself how much I'm enjoying one game over the other and be honest. I wouldn't say that either game sucks, I couldn't. I'd be kidding myself. Right now, I'm enjoying DAoC less than I might enjoy WoW. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not, there are a lot of things that influence the 'fun' (things like nerfs, patches, downtime, restarded population, etc).

Right.. my point is that it's rather silly to say that either game sucks. You may think that WoW/DAoC sucks, but that doesn't mean that it does. If you think either game sucks, you're probably to blame yourself for it. (Playing too long, being too fanatic, etc etc).

Bladeturns? You meant the one from Ceremonial Bracers wich gets bipassed by insta mezz and its useless as soon as the oposite mezzer spams the spell twice?
Agree with the spreading part, tho it wont save you from ambush mezzes. Neways, no aoeCC > aoeCC crap purge or not purge (theres a little thing in WoW called Dispell btw)

but i guess wow's cc is way better, if you get polymorphed under water you drown, 2 rogues can chain stun you, or just sap someone, WHICH there is no way of encountering, but in daoc you have purge, high chance of resisting (with resist buffs and such things!) and mezz/stun bladeturns, allso you have cure mezz.

Polymorph status is the same as DAOC mezzes n stuns were at firsts patches, WoW is still in beta n your are comparing it with 3yo+ game with more than 20? patches.
Dispell > poly. Would like some input about your statement: WoW resists vs DAOC resists. Theres also items in WoW to counter CC like your socalled CB.

end of the day, Mythic dished up with the most advanced pvp system in a mmorpg, and so far, everything wow been announcing about their "new" pvp system, is just a flawed rip off.

DAOC release date autumm 2001: no pvp reward system (you got rps that you didnt wot was the use for, you get honour points in wow atm with the same situation)
ring a bell?

hence balance.. wow is really balanced! Horde has so much better racials than alliance, and the two unique classes really creates balance aswell!

Not even gonna discuss here. Talking about class balance in daoc makes pandas sad Specially if you compare with a game with same classes for each sides cept 1 (shamman n palys being at the same status of "pwn" classes now) which personally i dont like at all.

WoW is not the ubah game (tho i never thougt i could say i enjoy pve) and DAOC was THE GAME, or at least was for me, but strangely, instead of getting better with the time (like wine ) it got worse


Out of curiosity, have you ever played WoW for more than 1hr???

Just for the record, you get no honour points in wow atm, that system has been disabled until the pvp/battlegrounds patch
