Did some level 50 rvr tonight for the first time in at least a year or two. Used a terrible character that wasn't even templated properly on the classic server I imported it from, specced as best I could remember, didn't remember anything past 1-3 on my quickbar, and I didn't even have a group for most of it. And it was still the most fun I've had pvping in any mmo since the last time I played DaoC. e: Also, shorten this LoreOfSerpents posted:Which realm should I choose? to Hibernia AN ANGRY MOTHER fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Feb 3, 2012 |

Bahanahab posted:Great, thank you for the info. Is there anything special about how to build a hybrid warden I should know about in advance? Keep nurture up almost to your level and the rest in regrow if you want to heal or weapon/shield if you want to fight. Right now at 24 I'm 21 nurture/20 blunt/12 shield, because I like to fight.

I agree the movement is kind of clunky, but once you learn to /stick or /face properly it gets a lot easier. The other mmos I've played are a lot smoother, sure, but when poo poo gets to be a clusterfuck and you can't stick someone I don't care if my rogue in rift does a roll forward when landing a high jump, I need to be facing the person I'm attacking, and I definitely need to be in melee range. e: Also why is there a guild called Goon Squadz on this server that isn't us?

Bahanahab posted:I just started an enchanter, and while reading up on them I keep seeing threads on focus pulling. I understand that there is a buff that you use on your pet, but the part that is confusing me is some threads say it was nerfed while others are saying it's still amazing. To top all of this off people are saying it depends on the size of your group, and if you have more than three people in the group the agro changes and your pet won't keep it at all. I've never played an enchanter myself, aside from low level pbaoe stuff for fun, but focus pulling is basically a damage shield that you put up and maintain on your pet. So you'll need someone in your group who has a power over time, since you'll be draining it while you keep up the dmg shield. You'll also need someone to heal your pet because the idea is to send them out and have a whole room on it attacking it and hurting it. But you'll also need for the pet to reflect enough damage to maintain aggro so the healer doesn't get it for healing you. Not sure what the state of it is now, though, sorry for not answering your question.

Vermain posted:If you didn't play this game when it first came out, chances are really good that you won't enjoy it now. To be frank: the combat is dated and clunky and harkens back to an earlier time of Everquest where watching your character swing slowly at something was acceptable gameplay. Things have changed, and growing up with MMOs like WoW does make DAoC seem considerably more slow paced and dull. I dunno dude, I've got celerity going and I'm hitting poo poo hard and fast. And I never played WoW, but I played Rift and it was just the same pressing 1 over and over. Though I agree that the pvp seems a bit slower since you can't just port into a capture the flag game and play for 5 minutes with a bunch of random people. But that's also what owns about DAoC, pvp with a bigger purpose. e: I dunno, the people who like this game are going to say it's the best and people who like other games better are going to say it isn't, but people should still give it a shot since they can get to the good stuff in a couple days, and we're more than willing to walk them through it.

So I hit 50 on my Warden this morning doing glass quests. Levels 47-50 only took about an hour or so while I was watching the news before work. It almost feels wrong. So I noticed for the templates on VN that they are almost all for nurture/regrow wardens, and I prefer to melee. Is it possible to have a warden that hits decently well? Is there a difference between a warden with 50 in blunt and a hero with the same?

I emailed support and it seems my GOA accounts don't even exist (how the hell do I have this many accounts???) you can still play anyway, it's not like it takes long at all to get to 50 and since the servers are all merged anyway there should be plenty of EU players on.

Twlight posted:You can Qbind those as well blah blah you get the idea. I'm suprised you guys play with new models on. I can't stand them I have everything set to old ones, though if you look in the options after you log out you can change them in a granular fashion for each faction or race I think. I think what I had originally done with them way back was have the item on a qb and macros for /use and /use2 at the end and it was awful.

I might be wrong, but Netherworldly Scale Hauberk (ToA-Acuity) is actually the Veil-Touched Hauberk. Don't make the mistake I did and not check before you spend your precious scales.

If it gets boring I may look into reactivating on live. I would say it gets boring in the early 20s when the grind starts to get hellish and you remember it only gets worse the further you get. Try the 14 free days with goons, bro.

Squiggoth posted:Also, was it ever mentioned which quests the OP was talking about that get you max level in a weekend of play? Aside from the 1-4 battleground (where you can easily melee down ojs with your health bar refilling every few seconds) there are quests givers in the portal keep that will give you 3 pve quests and then 2 pvp quests where you have to kill 5 mobs/players for each one. The slowest exp from these is the second bg, but right afterwards it picks up a lot. At 30, if you're having trouble with the bg being too full to do the quests, there are level 30 quests you can do in Oceanus, but when you hit 35 it's faster to go back to the BG quests until 40 because the quests stay at level 30 and the xp is signifigantly less when you're in your high-30s. e: oops, already answered. Also can't believe I never thought to skip the 5-9 one.

# ¿ Mar 1, 2012 02:45 |

Though if you do one quest in the 5-9 bg you can get a full suit of bg gear if you just need one weapon. Might be worth a quick stop.

Warden template complete after just grinding out the 30p for the sleeves from Cunovinda. I realized this was the best way to do it with low spawn rates and pubbie groups that wiped on Nychta's shards and also Phut. Two seperate wipes. If they are advertising SH raids why do I have to try to frantically explain to them how the mobs work?!!? I barely know myself!

A friend (who is a die-hard OF fanboy) and I last night had a discussion on the merits and drawbacks of everything since SI and it ended with him telling me that he has the box for ToA in storage and, if I were so inclined, he would give it to me so I could marry it. People playing Uthgard are going to play Uthgard.

The level 30 glass quests can be good for a headstart on glass or if Molvik is packed and you get get ganked just trying to suicide run the tower quest. It has a quest where you just swim in the ocean East of the haven and touch treasure chests over and over again. The only problem is it/they stay at level 30 until 40, so in the time it took for my 38 chanter to get to 40 my bard who was on the level 40 quests got from 40 to 44.
