The simple truth is that a clean slate is what brings the most players back to DAoC. Caledonia event is one example. Every private server released in the past 8 years is another. Both are recurring. Ywain lacks bodies, as Amur pointed out. The best …

They may start with a classic + SI setting, but it's very unlikely it'll be what you've seen elsewhere. Based on their Discord comments, OF is not going to happen (which I'm completely okay with). Also, these classic servers become stale after about…

A Dragon's Revenge back in the 1.8X/1.9X patch era days is the best example on how to revitalize old content in DAoC. Why Broadsword didn't take this approach with the rest of the game is beyond me. The DF revamp was okay; however, the OW and Curse …

Population is very time dependent. Outside weekends and primetime, you'll find the most action at Folley. Very few roam these days because NF is very large in comparison to the remaining player count. EV is hit or miss. There's certainly less late n…

As much crap as I like to give this dev team, the only time I've encountered someone "cheating" is a Shaman using a speedhack around Folley which was actioned. Every claim I've read about cheats/hacks have otherwise been unfounded and are born out o…

Live is as good as it's going to be. That was made clear a few years ago when they lost a large portion of their playerbase to alternatives and failed to win them back. The 20th year anniversary milestone culminated to a mount. That's the level of d…

Run the ToA quest line to cap CL15. Should give easily 200k+ BPs depending on RR if you run Buggane. Edit: https://forums.darkageofcamelot.com/discussion/278/atlantean-glass-quest-guides Used to drop glass. Now gives BPs. Guide still applicabl…

DF drops BPs on mobs that used to drop Diamond seals. You can also run the "old" ToA glass quest line which grants a fair amount of BPs. This quest line also unlocks 3x weekly quests that yield BPs. Technically, some ML mobs drop BPs, but they're no…
-
The event is still an easier way to gain RR and BPs for templates than playing in NF. I think they could definitely polish it more, but most of the fundamental complaints I've seen on this forum and in Discord are about the inability to compete. Thi…

I'm sure they will subvert our expectations, GoT style.

It can't be done on Ywain as has been stated before. I've pushed this since the first one because of the zergs and typically one sided realm depending on prime time (Mid / Alb). Hope that they either figure out how to do it on Pendragon and allow tr…
-
Honest question here. What about ToA ruined DAoC? My personal experience with it was the tremendous grind for MLs and Artifacts that were required to stay competitive in RvR. The grind has long since been removed. I reckon the disdain for ToA is big…

It's ok. These broken mechanics have been around for so long now that they've evolved into features. BS definitely playing chess with these advancements in a nearly dead 20 year old game.

I had time on my hands.

Every Hib group runs a Warden. Paladins are typically in Alb tankers and hybrids. Thanes are part of the Mid energy debuff train. They all have a spot depending on group comps. Only Wardens are less than optimal for solo because they lack DPS rel…

Ywain population isn't getting better as a result so not sure there's much reason to celebrate. Besides, it's getting replaced.

I don't remember very well but I think it took me longer than 3 months to go from ML1-10 when ToA released. Coupled with Artifact and Scroll grinding...ish. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for some sort of seasonal or progression server. But it needs to…

It's ok. The shard community is already making their third lap on BS.

Ruined keeps (Crau, Beno, and Bled) need to make a return if EV tower ports are re-implemented. Like Shoke said, it would be very common for players to camp relic town and play fireman instead of roaming between towers. I really like the current EV …

You're right. Baseline stun too strong. It only took nearly 20 years to break the game.

Considering these boards are free to login to, it's kind of sad that only 18 outright supported a classic setting. Maybe there should be a poll that goes beyond these boards if you truly believe it's widely desired as this isn't very convincing.

What's the solution then? Make the game easier? How? BS can remove stun nuke, np. But that only affects one aspect of the game. What about the rest? I've seen people call for classic but it suffers from the same kind of disparity you're citing now. …

Learning how to play isn't a "get good" mentality. It's an absolute expectation and, in some cases, a requirement to play any game. We have a community that doesn't want to do that because "insert any complaint ever here". Sure, there are more abili…

PvP is too hard for the masses.

I think the logical assumption is that if it was easy to do, it would have been done by now. This isn't the first post regarding Catacombs and I suspect it won't be the last until we get a conclusive answer. The only thing you can do is wait.
-
Based on how Curse was implemented, I don't think it's a simple turn the expansion content back on. So they either have to finish what they started or revert most of Curse altogether.

As much as I don't care for DAoC PvE anymore, I do find it ridiculous that the Catacombs revamp remains incomplete after 4 years and counting. Considering the frequency of updates has diminished over time in comparison to when Broadsword first took …

A neat trick is to jump to gain LOS temporarily so if you get stunned, mezzed, or rooted then you can't be subsequently nuked. Only defenders benefit from this and it's very easy to do. But I suppose pressing two buttons may be more difficult than o…

Bringing back ruined keeps should suffice if you're just looking for a place to congregate.
