Xuu Playing last week on my scout. Was like 36 ppl in NF you were running 8 HIb man around ren after hero made albion green. Your group was just chasing solos/duos. Honestly not sure letting IRC switch realm because they want keep the action g…

Fight heros numbers or bowtown. Took a break, maybe have a look again in a few months if the games still running.
-
Just never a fan of bow town, did it for few months. I played daoc for the open world and to be fair i never did labby but used to wcb duel back in the day Games become very predictable Also thing will take another hit when new world comes ou…
-
My issue is with game mechanics, daoc is a bout timers and control. Feels old and cluncky. I did watch some twitch streams, watching a hunter. Macroing runthrough, back style/anytime. Honestly repeating that 20 times in seems just meh. Good s…

Population split between 2 servers. Remember same problmes when classic closed down, Lack of players just screws the meta.

"Scripting is one of the coffinnails in that game. It has to be banned... not even worth a discussion, simple fact." I issue with run through and strafe, part the game been playing on and off solo since launch. back stun/side is part of the game…
-
For me if you don't like the changes just leave. To be fair game was better when players made the action. Good example was ECB duels , labby and keeping ports open for action. The meta in new daoc is cutting ports and killing action, just so s…

Oh vienna
-
Played to the max. Does make me understand why most soloers quit
-
Casual players got raw deal last few years. More and more focused on grouping. Enforced patches to promote a skill over numbers. Great in theory.
-
Pretty sure duel weld halves evade and block. Formula does not need changing. I thought sins are in a good place atm.
-
Not sure why people in the thread are trying to change the argument into a class balance issue, ref stun nuke etc and the grass is greener arguments, just a diversion tactic I would not like to see any realm faster than another, what makes it w…
-
Pretty much have to spec 7-9 mos, feel for low rr guys. RA choices limited, when you throw in purge and mop. Also with env. You invest in an RA that 50% of you solo fights will be useless
-
Hib groups have been insta knocking ppl out of speed for years, now even if you do everything right on your solo ass you get caught , seems legit.
-
I had a day of hero not attacking the keeps, Everytime alb/mid took a tower he would take the tower back. Action was kind of weird, seems lots sitting in cks taking tower back then running back to ck, tower going rinse and repeat. Early days y…

Can not expect the hamster to stay on the wheel all the time, little fella needs a breather.
-
In fairness ywain rule set has pushed an 8 man agenda for a while. Choked out the casual players. Now games devoid of population cracks are showing in the predictable daily pattern.
-
i know a very close game that gives some rps just for being in rvr, runs about twice the population of ywain.
-
Casuals are generally daoc player who due to life situation love the game dont have the time/life style to dedicate to daoc. Consta punished over time, just keep pushing the casuals and you will be left with 6-7 8 mans, see what $ that brings you.
-
Keep rp system based on balanced fights and both parties make rps, truth us that most keep fights are complete number bias so becomes pointless to defend. So you have one zerg that domniates and 1 fg that dominates , just not healthy for the gam…
-
To be fair IRC as just as bad. Hero and IRC as worset things for me in daoc. both can easily destroy the action. Hero more prime time EU soon as hero logs give /take an hour IRC farms what they can switching realms
-
Scouts are a terrible class, been reduced from kite dps class to some low dps utility ranged caster. Only issue people have with them a mutiples guess reason why they have been watered down so much over time. Painful class to play solo, not sayin…
-
Just hate fighting vw, real deal when programmed correctly.
-
Most of the problem is shields are useless apart from slam/engage. Defense rates 50% by dual weld and pretty much any muppet can run through, matters made worse that every light tank has change makes positionals way easier to land vs a heavy. Sins …
-
Beef Bayonet my anti-hero weapon.
-
Casual players have been neglected for years.
-
Everyone just logs the realm that's dominating. Countless time IRC logs a realm late on, struggle to find anything but a pug or randoms to fight. Suddenly every loser on the same realm except a few die hard for the realm players

Anyone who goes NF even to kill dopps should get rps. For me anything that gets people into NF is a positive. I find more pressing matters, I mean I play a sin but by observation realm switching kills the game and IRC (yea great they are so le…

For me Moy/Folley/Trelle is a duel zone not what I would call solo. For me a big difference in duels to soloing. I honestly hate having zones for styles of play, game was better when the players set up the duel zones etc on DCE DAOC was alw…

8 mans dont play ywain.
-
What is IRC doing, that you can't? Guys getting a hard-on rolling casuals/pugs then whine when the dont want 8v8 them no more. Alot of people play the game for nostalga and a bit of fun, most the player base are older and to be fair if the a…
-
From my perspective after daoc since release. IRC is nothing new, played Euro excal server and regular vented groups or at that time cafe/set ups always dominated. Player base has just shrunk to a point where you have x amount of hard core IRC …
-
Interesting part for me that it actually increases my rangers weapon skill, which seems to increase damage either on cd styles or blade styles. So I would think like @names stated just a 15% increase in damage, but why would it increase weapon sk…

They have been listening to the wrong player base for last 10 years. Guy who plays 1-4 hour a day is worth as much as a guy who plays 8-12 hours a day. They listened to the hardcore minority and should of listened to the larger casual player b…
-
Well i came back, paid a months subs. cancelled 4 days later. People still realm hopping and lacks population.
-
Depends on class for me, on my rr6 warrior on around 90% win rate vs sin. only problem i tend to get is 4-5 fight resets. or just vanish and no show. Skald does fine. not sure why but my armsman sucks vs sins and me pally agoin is fine. yes i ge…
-
Honesty they need to stop some of the groups flip flopping realms 3-6 times every few hours.
-
They already need to run a trial. Can always roll it back. I don't get the drama, trigger on RP. I get the feeling that the 8 man player based gonna whine. But for me too long that have had broadswords ear.
-
I dont mind, zergs, groups, solo, duel or even stealth zergs. Will take anything in current game state. Only thing I hate with a passion is people logging over realms when things get rough. Without players no amount of equations are going to work.
-
Dodger on sins, lol.
-
Spikes at around 100-120 per realm in EU time, normally I see 30-60 per realm. Taking people out of rvr for pve campaigns is such a terrible idea.
-
People mock realm loyalty , if daoc can build community from the ground up the daoc stands a chance.
-
It's a 30 min timer based on RP as a trigger. I don't see an issue with this.
-
Game needs a new map, solo zones and so not daoc
-
Weird, looks like 2h and not matter leggies.
-
Possibly because its not a solo kill. Guards are broke in CKs anyways, try playing a sneak. Many times they warp through walls, get melee hit on climb points. Its can be major frustrating. Oh and year you have the frustration of players who sit o…
-
I might run zerg or group now and for me until they adjust Mezz poison I wont bother trying to solo. Game as become very rinse and repeat in combat and find even eso has a more of a dynamic nature.
