I have been playing DAOC but..

[Spyder]

After a break I went back tonight to check out this new free expansion thing and the game is just short of dead. :( Does anyone else play anything other then WoW , I have already put my time in on that game and after the PVP side of DAOC I just get bored with level grinds (or multipule quest) also when I played WoW there was no such thing as PvP at all.. I cant imagion its as good as DAOC's was back in the day. Im interested to see what people play and enjoy, so post it up :)

I play WoW off and on. Nothing beats DAoC PvP hands down, although I hear WoW is going to try and do some of the same concepts that I liked about camelot. For right now, I haven't found anything that's super impressive that's out on the market. :(

[soul]

mmorpg are the same, i stopped WoW, GW gets time now when im bored, but im back to FPS like always. Until Tabula Rasa or whatever its called

[chrisdavis]

I dont have the patience to play those types of games(I got a friend who wont play anything but Everquest). I play FEAR, Unreal Tournament 2k4, and I am starting on Quake 4 today.

[Spyder]

I see some people like GW and others seem to have not really liked it.. Has anyone ever played EvE online? They have a free 14 day trial right now, i think i may give it a try..

[ironchef]

I read a little blurb about Tabula Rasa on my flight, about how its supposed to be the next big thing in mmorpgs or something like that. Anyone got any more info on it?

I read a little blurb about Tabula Rasa on my flight, about how its supposed to be the next big thing in mmorpgs or something like that. Anyone got any more info on it?

i read as much as i could about it earlier today, basically... there isnt a whole lot of information... the company is keeping it under wraps until it is ready for beta testing it seems.. The company doesnt have any forums or updates about it, it has only said in one interview "we know where we are heading with the game and dont need any input from the gamers as of yet" After reading that I think the game will either be bad ass or it will be a complete flop, it is set for release next year.

[SquishyC]

Aliens....rebels...bleh...

I really didnt like Ultima Online...some of the creators for Tabula rasa are the same, once it gets closer to release we should be able to get a better idea of how its going to be. Personally I dont think I will like it.

Hate to sound like the ultimate geeky gamer chick but I think the best shot for a good mmorpg is going to be Dungeon's and Dragon's ... :D

Whens the last time you played WoW? They have battlegrounds now which are PvP and pretty fun too... Basically it's just glorified capture the flag, but still pretty fun.

DAOC one, i think Nick tried to explain it to me before but i spaced out

[SquishyC]

LOL...dont worry I do that all the time to him ..hehe

DAoC explanation...lets see....here's the simple version..

You pay monthly, think its about 15.00 now...that may be a high estimate.
There's so much to the game its hard to explain on a message board, here's a link:

www.camelotherald.com <--- go to the beginners section on the left.

Its a MMORPG, a timesink really. But its fun and I was hooked for a long time.
There's crafting and level grinding...raids and quests...tons of stuff. Other people in the game to talk to (kinda like here, same BS prevails).

Check out the link and if you have any questions send me a pm, I played since the beginning and only stopped about what...hmmm maybe 6-8 months ago.

[Spyder]

fuckers... jacked my thread.. :D

[SquishyC]

Well we were trying to talk to you, buuuuuutttttt you were busy....so we just continued on without you :tongue:

Dont worry...B kept me busy :D

Damn there is NO ONE on that game anymore. Stinks, that was a fun one. What server did you play on?

I had a 50 BM/50 Druid bot on Guinevere, and another BM/Druid combo on Percival, and a 50 Pally/Cleric combo on Percival that got deleted, haha.

Yes. I am a dork.

[AznTraitor]

what the hell are you people talking about?

BF2 is where it's at.

[disco]

wow daoc, surprised anyone still play it. I had a 50 hero, bard, eld, 40+ ranger and other crap on merlin. my guild was the first one to hit 1mil rp on any server. anyone remember the Angry Elves?

[AznTraitor]

okay, someone please tell me wow means and daoc?

[B16a2 Civic]

[Spyder]

Dark Age Of Calmelot = DAOC
World Of Warcraft =WoW

Yes both are MMORPG's :)

[Spyder]

i think so pete, somethin like warcraft i believe.
Kinda except instead of it being offline where you only play against NPC's you can play online and interact with real people.. sometimes 1000's of them at a time in a huge battle over a relic or something..

[B16a2 Civic]

is DAOC anything like lord of teh rings?

[Spyder]

is DAOC anything like lord of teh rings?
No idea, i have never played it.. but i have to imagion it is atleast somewhat similar.. DACO is very indepth when compared to other games...

Yea i have a 48ish mana menty on ector (classic server) it is better in terms of that.. and it was alot of fun for the first few months.. then i took a break. when i logged back in last week i did a /who and got 120... i asked the guild if it was just a really slow night they said no it was actully pretty busy but that the server was dead and they (mythic) is considering merging the 3 classic servers so there are some people on again. It was fun while it lasted.

[SquishyC]

As Spyder said we played on Pellinor...but he always made me jump to other servers to see what they were like. I keep my name the same in any game I play thou and I always play a healer class first (was a Druid on Pellinor). Spyder always needs someone to keep his sorry ass alive in these games.....

Name is always "Saorise"

Maybe I missed you say it...are you playing anything now? ...yes I'm a dork also. :D

Actually. I fired up DAoC for the first time in a LONG time the other day. Started a paladin on Gareth. Seems cool - no ToA, no bots, no artifacts! /cheer!

Usually I always play the light tanks (merc, rogue, blademaster) but for some reason I've always liked the paladin on DAoC. Mainly because I never die, haha.

If you pick it up again let me know. I got tired of WoW. :)

[Spyder]

Pally.. bleh. I dont do anything other then hibbies heh.. I have so much time invested on Pell i have a hard time learning new places. I hope the merge the servers then i may consider going back.. again..

[SquishyC]

and again...and again...and again...DAoC's like a horrible old boy/girl friend that keeps popping back into your life... heh.

Dragonfly, if I go back I will drop you a PM....I miss it from time to time. Don't know about playing an Alb thou lol...guess I could try a cleric :)

BM's dont suck... and you only like elves because the chicks are hot lol. I only play Keens and Squishy hates it lol.. something about short bald men with white hair just doesnt do it for her, even if they are only a pixel...

I dunno how it is now, but back when I played my blademaster was nothing but farmed RPs for warlocks and their damn chambers haha.

Although I just found out about the new patch going through for pure tanks, eegads, might be time to roll an armsman, haha. Looks like they're going to be RvR gods. :eek:

Heavy Tank Changes (Hero, Warrior and Armsman)

Heavy tanks are considered the defensive juggernaughts of the realm they fight for, and as such, are getting added abilities and improvements to their classes.

- BattleCries - This is a new system that provides burst defensive bonuses to self and group for Heavy Tanks.

- Level 5 Shout - Taunting Shout: Frontal cone taunt that causes mobs to turn and fight the tank or at least increase the hate amount towards the tank. Re-usable every 60 seconds

- Level 30 Shout - Bolstering Roar: PBAE 250 radius attack that breaks root, breakable snares and mesmerization effects on group members. If the tank is CC'd (other than root) they will have to purge themselves or wait for CC to wear off, then fire this. Re-usable every 10 minutes.

- Level 40 Shout - Rampage: Group shout which increases the chance to resist debuffs by 35%. Lasts for 10 seconds. Re-usable every 5 minutes.

- Level 50 Shout - Fury: Self only shout which gives a 50% chance to deflect crowd control spells (similar to the RR5 Bonedancer ability), and increases resists to magic spells by 50% for 10 seconds. Re-usable every 15 minutes.

- Level 15 Spell/Ability - Metal Guard: Group buff which increases the ABS of group members by 3% excluding the caster of the buff. If there are multiple casters of this buff within the group, then this will stack up to a maximum of 9%. Other players can receive the benefit of this buff, but the caster of this buff cannot so it is possible for another heavy tank to have a bonus to his ABS if another heavy tank joins the group and casts this buff. Duration 20 minutes.

- Level 35 Spell/Ability - Climbing Spikes: Self castable buff which lasts for 30 seconds that grants Climb Walls. The player will have the ability to climb walls for a short duration of time. While climbing a wall, any hit that does more than 31 damage will knock the player off the wall. Furthermore, any hit which knocks the player off the wall will hit for double damage. If the buff runs out while the player is on the wall and he/she does not reach an area where they can walk again, they will be knocked off the wall. Re-useable every 60 seconds.


Passive benefits (Hero, Warrior and Armsman)

- Upon choosing the path of a Hero, Warrior or Armsman, the player will be granted 50% siege resistance automatically. This includes all siege damage types, including Boiling Oil.

- Upon reaching level 41, the Hero, Warrior and Armsman will begin to gain more hitpoints as they progress towards level 50. At each level beyond 41 they gain 1% extra Hit points per level. At level 50, they will have the full 10% benefit.

- Upon reaching level 41, the Hero, Warrior and Armsman will begin to gain more magic resistance (spell damage reduction only) as they progress towards level 50. At each level beyond 41 they gain 2%-3% extra resistance per level. At level 50, they will have the full 15% benefit.

[Spyder]

wow, i guess that means i should fire up a hero again.. sounds like that will be alot more fun.. to bad they can still be killed from clipping range by bolters. :(
