Broadsword : Give me the power of the Grantcredit
Hello guys,
Two days ago I lead a Curse raid in Albion
We had ~60 folks inside the BG
Again, Carol saved us at least 10 times thanks to her
When she did, it was because we needed to redo some steps because of LDs (or some people who didn't had credit)
It is very frustrating
Back in the days, we had the ability to credit for a step with /Grantcredit
It was something like /Bg grantcredit Fugo 6.1
I had to be close to 75% of the BG, to be the BG lead and it was avalaible only for 10 min
Why don't you add such a thing to the Curse set ?

It's like "hey, we can't get our PvE quest triggers to work reliably so here you go".
I don't see it as embarrassing at all. I look it as a QOL adjustment to the PVE side that would be a sound and popular decision.
Carol saved me tho yesterday. Chapter 10 Cursed boss was on ~7% and Daoc client went down. Couldnt go back to group after i logged in and my groupmates made the effort to search for Carol in every way they could. And she teleported me when the boss was at 2% left. If i wouldnt have got that credit i would prob just hit the coffin in the nail and closed all my accounts. Never ever have i went LD so many times then on a Cursed raid. And to bad they are "must have" items for me when i solo.
Never have problem outside Curse either!
So implement Grantcredit for GOD sake!
Giving players the ability to grant quest credit to other players because...
- triggers aren't clear
- people for some reason LD constantly during PvE content
- when they LD the systems are setup in a way that might necessitate everybody dying or restarting the fight, rather than them being able to log in and rejoin and get credit - note, this also sucks when you DC during a siege defense and get insta ported out.
Maybe we have differing standards, but to me, that's all sort of sad. If you've got an old game with rough systems that can't be easily fixed then perhaps don't design things in such a way that you'll need to grant raid leaders the ability to pass out credit or have Carol have to come and save people over and over again on a seemingly regular basis?
I feel like DAoC is bizzaro world when it comes to designing things. It's like a strange Stockholm syndrome where things are accepted that largely wouldn't fly elsewhere... particularly since the game has a monthly fee and still has a price to buy, as of writing this at least.
I do work for people and construct things in my own real life work, and this wouldn't be something I'd be happy shipping out to a horde of paying customers. Don't get me wrong, do what needs to be done to smooth it over if it can't be fixed but you'd think somebody would have caught some of these issues in the design/planning phase or realizing that they're working with an old and finicky game, they'd come up with a list of "best practices" for working with what they've got.
The DAOC client has been free for years.
I know the client itself was downloadable for free, but I had thought you still needed to buy and activate the game to your account.

Awesome, it's been quite a long time since I had to do any of that - when I reactivated years ago I remember needing to get Catacombs etc... been awhile. Sorry!
Hello Lea,
Glad to see you on this thread,
Do you think such an addition could be useful ? (I know you are not a dev but ... :P)

The amount of lds was ok i Think...given it was 60- 120 in a Single Zone and the Raid takin a few hours. But its still annoying to have all others wait up for a single Person Crashing without any obvious reason.
I had a few ctd's myself, about 1 per raid. Mostly during breaks or runs so i was lucky, others were not.
Some steps must be done twice bc ppl just cant get credit for no obvious reasons. having Salle up, wp equipped and even actively taking part in the enc (and getting flamed for being AFK still), while others even get credit as long as they are in the same Zone and being in their way. Certainly good for some, but still weird id say..
GMs helped a lot across these raids and im grateful for that, but this is no way working as intended and i believe they have other things to do than to monitor (call it babysit if u want) a few hours of Raid every week.
If i remember correctly there was a /grant credit or similar for ML-raids back in the day, so why not just give it a Revival?
