There is a mixture of perceived incompetency and lack of creative freedom that plagues Broadsword currently. Talal (eldariian) was pressured some time ago in the official DAoC discord to address the freeshard scene and why the official game struggle…

The classic server was put on the backburner earlier this year so the dev team could focus on Ywain per a post on the official discord by the producer. There is no ETA on whether it will resume development.
-
Ywain 1-10 are already merged. They differ only in housing. I'm not the one who claimed Ywain is a priority. That was the producer on the offfiial Discord which everyone should be in if you want current information. These forums serve little to n…
-
New server was reduced in priority based on comments made by the producer on their discord last week. Ywain is again top priority which means the new server has been effectively shelved.
-
So the solution to making DAoC great again for another 20 years is a patch level that lasts for about a year before becoming worse than the current state of Ywain. I'm glad you're looking at the long term big picture.
-
Private servers only outperformed Live in concurrent players since 2017. You can view me as being toxic, but I'm simply stating facts. The attraction to classic DAoC is largely rooted in nostalgia and is not sustainable long term. Why people left th…

3000 concurrent players at launch that diminishes within 6 months to ~1000. Third experiment is ongoing and my money is it will experience the same trend despite being "different." Using launch numbers as a metric for success is silly in MMOs. The s…

People left the game because of the grind. Grind has been fixed. People won't come back because they can't compete. Reason 1. too many buttons, plz make classic Reason 2. too many high RRs, plz make new server Not much to discuss here when t…
-
My original point is still valid. Gearing on Ywain is arguably easier than the classic days. Your real gripe with content is the added buttons. That I can understand.
-
No, it's like saying: I like X but hate Y even though I haven't tried Y.
-
What you just described hasn't been in the game for over a decade.
-
Less buttons to press is why they want classic. Then when sweaties pass them up in RR, they'll cite that as the reason they can't compete and inevitably quit.

If p servers are doing a great job, then why are you here asking for essentially the same thing?
-
Alpha testers were reached out to by Carol via Discord. Chances are if you're not subbed, you wouldn't have been considered.

Only a handful of sweaties reached RR11. They are the same ppl who pass you up in NF anyways so it doesn't matter. Casual players only reach RR7-8 at best. You probably won't see most of these casuals in NF anyways because DAoC is only really worth …

The sad reality is BS gambled on revamping old expansion content and it flopped before they could finish. Hence the broken state of Catacombs. The better move would have been to give these old areas the DF treatment, but that's hindsight.

We'll find out if it works for DAoC soon enough. I suspect it won't make a difference.

The seasonal model is definitely better suited for the f2p player base considering how fickle they are. While the official game has low population, it has yet to reach the pits observed on private servers that are considered to be "dead". I don't th…

Don't expect Catacombs to return for years.

As much as I'd like to preserve the economy, there really isn't much of one on Ywain. I'd be all for this.

I'm going to bump this again as a reminder that the Obelisk is in need of revision. My suggestions can be viewed in a previous post above. Decoupling the free MoC feature from the damage mitigation should be considered, at minimum, if the current im…

Here is an idea on how to restructure the Protection Obelisk. Tie the damage reduction component to keep ownership. Retain MoC functionality as is (%effectiveness determined by your spec in MoC). - 7 or more keeps owned = 0% damage reduction - …

Money.
-
I think the Obelisk is fine, but the relic attachment to it is not. It is no longer beneficial to capture relics. This part needs to be removed or changed accordingly such that the Obelisk effectiveness is no longer tied to relic ownership.

This summer as has been communicated for some time now.

I used Catacombs more than ToA for leveling and general messing around when I didn't want to RvR. Always saw someone roaming either the main areas or popping in/out of the instanced dungeons. I think SI was more underused but maybe I'm wrong. Regard…
-
You're missing the point completely. The game is still running and had content removed at a net loss. That's not a great business model for any game that charges a monthly sub.
-
Talal stated the new server won't target new players. They're not expecting any tbh. This game is old and stagnant not just from a player perspective but also in terms of content. BS doesn't have the resources to make new expansion-level content. Wh…
-
Except the game didn't shut down, they just removed content instead lol.
-
You need to educate yourself. This is completely on EA's side. Send them an email to make a case because this is not the place for it.

Omarius is correct to an extent. Players will find something wrong with the game and use it as a crutch for why they quit. The private server crowd is a great example of this recurring issue. They're endlessly chasing the dragon to recapture the glo…

The players who want to play on Ywain are already there. Everyone else has either moved onto the private server ferris wheel or playing other games. Realistically, the new server won't siphon much from Ywain as the addicts can't let go of their prog…

Currently, all information regarding the new server (since January) has been communicated via Discord by the new Producer Talal (eldariian in Discord). He has reached out twice so far and stated that the new server will release this summer and be fo…

Without a massive campaign or "influencer", this game will never see the population it once had. Even the freeshard community keeps bleeding players. Too little too late is probably the reality. There's been a number of squandered opportunities, imo…

This thread becomes more silly by the day.
-
It will still die because no content. See every private server ever. Has to be seasonal to keep player interest assuming there's changes from season to season.

As much crap as I give Broadsword, they absolutely announced Caledonia via every venue they use: Newsletter, Discord, and their official website. Were you expecting a postcard?
