For a specific purpose group, nothing beats having SOS on a instamezzer and healer. It's a wasted spot for skalds and minstrels. Assuming they use SOS and mez to get into position... The two pbaoes on each realm also just don't have the ut…

What's the BP scroll issue?

@Shoke @Dale_Perf Looks like aoe stun insta is 300 radius. Looks like a SB can BG. You don't need 2 sbs in group, just 2 sbs (or more). 5 sm's with quickast and moc if needed can probably do plenty of damage to a zerg with surprise, dunno. Seen i…

I think its a great idea for a season on the new server! Something completely weird and awesome. I'd spend 6 months trying to figure out cool synergies. All 8 players with group stealth for instance. Mez poison, awesome! Open up champ levels a…

9sec slam to everyone!

@opo66 Your right. I have no idea what I'm talking about because I've never played this game. Except I was the chanter in my group. 50 enchant spec. It was epic. Granted we were mostly a tank group, and almost exclusively rr2-5. But we won way mo…
-
That's the point though. Can't expect casuals and new players to organize their own raids. Raids happen more often when everyone needs to complete them. Gotta reset items to zero too. But now it becomes an instant 50 server every so often. Now there…
-
I'd argue that chanters are one of the best classes in the game. Aside from the obvious benefits for a tank group the benefits for a caster group are also there. There's probably a reason their heals are so good. Maybe you guys should check ou…
-
Hmm. Everything online says single target spell, not DD. Resist debuffs, heals, ect are all single target spells But it prolly got changed and doesn't show up on Google results, because of course. Figured it was something like having chan…

Question, what is the chanter loyalty cloak /use?
-
Thank you.
-
Side note to BS: please don't change classes too much if at all. Unless you hire more people specifically enact and update those changes. Ywain can't afford to be ignored. That's why I propose just making a simple test server. Copy-paste ywain …
-
@Gildar Once a new server happens, you don't need to touch crafting really. It'll already become super important because it's a lot easier to craft than it is to farm items. Reason it lacks utility now is because of curse/OW/whatever else has been f…
-
I would like the "seasons" to be even a couple years old if possible, but not at the expense of the experience. Once population starts dropping, scrap it and make a new "season". Doesn't have to be a strict 6 months each or whatever. If a rule …
-
@Kroko Don't know how they're going to handle it. But if the recent work on the account classic server search stuff is anything to go by. They'll probably just have each new server name be different, and after it's turned off, you can just look u…
-
@Koe One of the other main concerns regarding EC is lack of classes or lots of restrictions. Locking down the new servers to paying subs allows for MUuuuuuUuUUuuUuUuCh looser restrictions on ywain. This will greatly boost free players, pro…
-
I recommend reading some Friday posts on factorio's website. This is literally what everyone's talking about I feel. They've been doing it weekly forever and have some frankly amazing communication coming from it. And more importantly community go…
-
There's a couple main points I'd like to make. New servers don't last. They never do. Population starts out awesome, but real life happens and pop dwindles. That's not necessarily a bad thing, since the goal is to promote freshness instead of s…
-
@Kroko My goal has always been the survival of the game. I don't believe ywain is it (it needs to be there, but I think the new server will drive subscribers and keep the game alive), but something for free accounts needs to exist (Ywain) to keep…
-
I agree with BS that there shouldn't be a blanket /rp off for EC accounts. Hell, I'd just never leave Molvik. And I got enough molvik toons with 1 day /played that I wouldn't ever need to pay. And they know it. I don't want a free ride, there needs …
-
If they did that, no one would stay longer than 3 months.... You can't give someone something then take it away. Negative reinforcement has a negative reaction. You need positive reinforcement to make people feel.... Positive.... about giving y…
-
Isnt the whole point of BP currency so you can just use them to build a template? Soooo, if you have bps from the alternate server, when you transfer to ywain, you just buy your template. Done. It'll also improve ywain pop by getting more pe…
-
Wait, was Gareth a failure? I can't remember specifics but I feel they got multiple years out of it before Ywain. New one just needs to last 6mo.
-
Also, ML10
-
Those are pve zones with rvr enabled.
-
Or, just make it like gaheris and give RRs as you level automatically, a little bit. Would help the fact that you can't stay in molvik a couple weeks and Cathal a month or two before being forced to NF.
-
That's a good idea, to coincide server ending with special events. The sudden burst of population will then show all the ywain freebie holdouts how much fun it is paying for a sub for the next server. @Kroko Perfect, can stay on Ywain the…
-
@Kroko ---Can't quote, so bear with me... Everyone who left did it for another reason. Some dont want ToA, some dont want Curse/OW, some want RAs for free, ..... How should you bring together all these people? ----Don't need to bri…
-
So plan for 5 hrs plus solo (that **** was fckn annoying when it came out, only bothered doing it a couple of times on hib) Thanks for the update!
-
I have a hard time with the "we like the game how it is" argument. It's kinda irrefutable that there are both more people that have never played daoc, and more people that have played and left, than there are current players of daoc. So to k…
-
@Muylae how long are those raids? Haven't played since like Curse 5 was too buggy to even complete. Curious to how it all turned out, might as well join since it's free now.
-
The literal reason is literally the new server. It'll dilute something that's 3x larger than it currently is, so is that dilution?
-
Haven't played my theurg since the ghost quest and zerging etc. (Or the game really but I digress). Is the pet cap for theurg still a big deal in zergs and keep fights? Like, it was so bad I was only able to get a couple pets out before cap wa…
-
Got a question that I don't wanna bother testing myself... Can you just trade a piece of armor to a subbed account, have em dye it and trade it back?
-
Heck, at this point I'd play a server that was Only catacombs zones lol. As long as the server was new
-
Lol. I keep seeing the biggest argument to periodic servers is that after 6 months the pop drops back down to 50% of what it started with. That's kinda the whole point... Today's gamers have to keep seeing the new and shiny, we don't have the a…
-
Kroko, I know you aren't reading my statements thoroughly. There's some pretty scary math in there. A couple divisions and maybe an addition. Too bad that math is math, and math doesn't care. I'm saying RR9 based on the absurd notion someone el…
-
I may be delusional, hell, I may even be crying, heck, I may have even been playing this game in beta running around Humberton on my trispec cleric (because who knew better?). 4.2 million rps to RR9. 10k rps/hr average (no clue here, haven't pl…
-
The carrot works better than the stick in games that are funded by people willingly paying for things that don't matter.. I'm all for completely locking dyes down for EC accounts like. Don't wanna look like a cheapskate? Don't be a cheapskate l…
-
Also, for the "but I can do it within a week and have fun" crowd.... You are literally already playing the game, you don't have to learn the game, learn the other 47 classes and 92 realm abilities and 93726 different armor procs and charges and…
-
So, I too can get a toon to Rr9 in a couple weeks playing maybe 10 hours a week? Your all frikkin insane or delusional. You realize that RVR isn't all about the gear right? You need that shiny purge 2 and that nice DetX and enough Aug dex to…
-
There's spending weeks of progression, and then there's spending YEARS. It doesn't take a couple of weeks to be competitive on Ywain, it takes years. That's the brick wall. Everyone else is missing the point. If you casually dismiss the fact th…
-
Which seems to not be a cloth wearing caster like he was talking about? Unless all of both of your edits are confusing me. That earlier wall of text had some great points. But I think it'd just be easier to make a new server to get subs…
-
Ouch. Yeah. Stream sniping is a thing lol. Good point. No way around it other than to delay. All the streams I watch are instanced games (lol, overwatch, etc) so an open world would obviously have these problems...
-
Any thought on paying (insert top 20 famous streamer here) to play Daoc for a couple weeks? (1-3 hrs/day during prime time, or maybe for couple months just twice a week for a few hours, give followers a chance to catch up on levels and join the str…
-
All classic pve is avalable. Dragon zones changed a bit. Honestly think that curse is better than catacombs were, but would like to see cata back. I still have some mid 10% blocking shields that I farmed that legit cannot be farmed anymore, so I can…
-
Lol. I mention free Sharp's once in a post to prove that daoc can be successful with a new server. I get edited and warned immediately. Multiple people actually saying they have fun on them here, and zero mod edits for a week. Hmmmm. Oh, to …
-
Question since it's been forever: If you endo tap a tank, how many power taps can he get off?
-
Or just make population based rp bonus's. But insanely scaled. If there's 50% as many mids as hibs, mids get a 50x rp bonus. If it's within 30% difference, no bonus. Promise that the population will more even out. (Or at least make the mids willi…
