WOW Stress test

[snoz]

How many here used a proxy and got on it ?

I did, have to say i kinda like it, pve is hell of alot more interesting then daoc's. Graphics are nice, only other mmorpg ive played apart from daoc where i like the style of the art.

Classes seems nice only tried a tauren warrior and a gnome rogue but they are fun to play and many different skills to use. Craft system is good also, auto queue feature ! no more pressing 11111111. Many different skills you can learn mining fishing skining then ofcourse the making of weapons and armor.

Main point im interested in is pvp and how it will compare to daoc's but as they have yet to add the pvp reward system (expected next patch) plus a seven day stress test dont give me chance to test it much, i cant really comment on that. I look forward to the euro beta.

So is wow the replacement for daoc ? I think people who like pve in daoc will love pve in wow ... daocers who only play for rvr ... like i said cant comment on that but horde vs alliance is very much like rvr in daoc, instead of keeps you can claim towns and such. Alot will rest on that but from what ive played so far i can say ill be playing wow for sure.

ye but who wants to sit around presing 1 for 12 hours? seriously is that fun ? :]

In wow you have to collect all your resources urself or buy them from the player market. Thats the challenge in crafting not pressing 111111 !

Daoc crafting without macroing is just in the end how good patience u got. got nothing to do with skillzors xO

Didnt knew that, but then yes it helps abit.
Though still it would be better if they made it easier (faster) than just making it a macro thing where its a matter of who can leave a comp just crafting.

Etc SWG is lame in the part where musicians just skill up by going afk leaving their comp running.

But thats just my opinion.

Aye I agree, for wow though say your a blacksmith who makes armor and weapons, you need to also be a miner to get metal bars which u have to go to mines to go and mine !1111 (or you can buy from auction houses from other players) also you have to get the recipes ( drop from mobs. Is alot to crafting in wow it seems, but pressing 11111 is not one of those things.

If you all from Freddyshouse could agree to a WOW server to go to, it would be a good idea.

Please organise this movement and tell me what server you choose, if it happens.

You also have to craft certain items in specific places (like at the bottom of a dungeon) which adds a certain amount of danger and difficulty to it.

Yes this is [OT]... but who cares.

Yes DAoC Crafting system sucks (and I am DAoC big lover)

I really hope new crafting system in Catacombs will not be just a new trade line of 12hoursof111111111keypress (have done this twice and, gosh, I dont wanna do it again) but a complete new system WoW-like.

Competitors are there to be copied: DAoC is "the market leader" and many copyed from DAoC.... copyng good ideas from WoW or SWG is not a crime

Blizzard also mentioned that they are working on something called battlegrounds,
even tho they haven´t given much info about it I think it´s gonna be pretty interesting to the pvper.
Atleast that´s how i understood it.

I don't know if you are being facetious but Lineage, Lineage2, Final Fantasy XI, Everquest, Star Wars Galaxies and Ragnarok Online all have more subscribers than DAoC (in some cases a lot more). Many have been out for a lot longer as well.

 

[Abel]

And if there is one MMORPG who copied from others it's DAoC

Remember in the early days one of the big (unofficial) marketing slogans of DAoC was "it's EQ, but without the suck".
Still EQ has twice as many subscribers though ...

Hope the PvP/FvF (Faction vs Faction) or whatnot turns out to be good
