No bots. And people were regularly banned for buffbotting and bot-botting. There was a public bans forum.

A significant amount of the time I spend on Mordred was actually searching for hidden AFK bots and killing them for free RP's.

im gay posted:Are there any remotely similar games to vanilla DAoC with similar PvP? I have a really bad itch. Depends on how you define DAoC PvP. ESO and GW2 both have 1v1v1 non-instanced persistent siege-based PvP-PvE maps. And GW2 is free to play unless you want the expansion (which is not needed to play its iteration of RvR). If DAoC was solo zerg-surfing, both those games do pretty good impressions. GW2's is better. If DAoC was stealth groups ganking soloers, look no further than ESO. If DAoC was 8-man zerg busting, no, that is dead and gone. PvP design has moved away from hard disables lasting more than 3-ish seconds and AOE target caps are the norm now. If DAoC was 8v8, honestly WoW took that ball and ran with it in 5v5 Arenas and 10v10 organized battlegrounds. If DAoC was 8v1, you'll be happy to know that gank squads are alive and well in ESO and GW2. Maybe more in ESO since GW2's rewards are slanted heavily toward capturing objectives.

GW2 WvWvW is bad and boring. Oh look I'm downed. Press butan and endlessly smash doors. ESO, I don't even know, I got so loving bored after 30 minutes of clicking a ballista and then getting 2 shot by a trebuchet or oil or something. Game is bad. WoW PvP is alright, though, I guess. Battlegrounds are poo poo. Arenas are cool, rated BG's are whatever. Nothing is really comparable because it's all "for funsies" pvp without any actual benefit or character progression. Or I guess you can get some stupid rear end mount and a boring title in WoW.

The hardcore groups that got ml10 while the rest of the server was 1-3. Held off a 150 man relic raid with 8. 3 tanks, 2 druids, bard, 2 animists. Easily the coolest thing I've ever done in a videogame. Well I guess it was kind of 16. Another 8 man was running interference/intercepting additional groups/people porting back.

People thought we were hacking/exploiting for the longest time until people realized what we were doing with our group setup, and how broken the classes/CC spells were.

The Lethantis PvP server should be up soon. I'll check it out while waiting for Uthgard. Basically, it's OF only as the map. You spawn in a small village depending on realm choice, and cannot be attacked until level 10. Each realms map has been connected together so it's one big PvP zone, so there's no porting or zoning. There are 6 dungeons ranging from Nisse's Lair to Stonehenge, 2 for each realm, they've added to the OF map. It'll be like Mordred in many ways, with limited safe zones and guilds able to claim keeps to be able to spawn from them.

There is one safe zone with merchants and trainers, etc. Special currency will drop from mobs, and more so from pvp like bounty points you can use to buy different tiers of gear not found in the map dungeons. DF will come if the server is popular enough to support it with the keep mechanic. Leveling is 150% normal. nousername posted:I'm in, what realm/etc. Only your guild matters, its pvp.

You aren't.... I actually missed that too. With PvP I thought they meant 'no real pve areas, just the frontiers'. Hmmm, kind of a downer for me. I loved Mordred for what it was... especially when hunting for people in those very PVE zones and ruining their day. So does that mean cross-realm teaming is completely possible? Those starting area's are going to be a mess. (well, just beyond them)

Far too many options, impossible to say. I think the core of our group was Bard+Cleric+Druid, adding an Aug healer when we were Melee Heavy.

Evernoob posted:You aren't.... I actually missed that too. Sorry yeah I should have been more specific. Cross realm teaming should be completely possible. You cannot be attacked by another player until level 10. Without looking it up right now, there is keltoi, Stonehenge, Mithras, nisses, varulvheim, and prob like coruscating mines or something. It's Mordred except straight to the point, not needing hundreds of players to support a giant gameworld. The three RVR maps should be quite large enough with the dungeons and mobs available over land. I'm thinking 50+ people will be enough to have a grand ol time assjamming people to my hearts content.

I want to roll a Minstrel, too, and I want to AT him.  I'm like 99% sure it's mordred rules, but sometimes these foreign people have poor english and leave me slightly confused. Take this video as example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGafRm3vNXE

Especially on Mordred where each role can be done by 3 or more classes, which slight variations in skill/utility. I never was a fan of Albion classes, but their stealth groups also having access to Minstrell skills was something the other two realms could only dream of. (Them main reason I did not like playing Albion so much was mainly due to the fact that the "mandatory' skills were spread out over to many different classes, with endurance regen on the Paladin being the main culprit. I completely hated that class and thought they were useless before they got the Bodyguard skill) A bit earlier someone asked for the perfect Mordred 8 man setup, and I looked up what we used to run : Bard (Speed/End/PoM - Mez/AE Mez) was our group leader Cleric (Yellow buffs, body/spirit/enerty resists, rest healing) Druid (Buffs up to yellow haste, matter/heat/cold resists, rest healing) Warrior (Main Assist, Shield + 2hander toggle) 2nd damage melee (Berserker or Savage were used, but BM, Merc or Hero would have worked fine) We usually ran with two casters on Mordred Eldritch (Light Eld, cold damage, baseline stun, nearsight, AE mez) 2nd caster or a melee was usually a pick-up last slot for anyone. Sometimes an Aug healer when running full melee group. The thing is there were so many options on Mordred, but the core of Bard/Cleric/Druid is very tough to beat as they have every required support buff and resists. and offer strong healing. Only with this setup you had the option to run 5 dps classes, or 4 Mellee and an Aug healer.

Since Lethantis is new RAs I've decided to make a Minstrel on Uth with the old RAs and make a SB for PvP. That way I won't feel compelled to AT and miss all the sweet PvP exp. God knows a Minst with only stealth and weapon would be fodder to everyone. And I love the 50 instru, 37 slash, 25 stealth spec too much.
