Why after all this time you refuse to evolve Dark Age of Camelot?


From EQ1 to the upcoming Guild Wars 2 MMOs have evolved greatly.


Why is it so hard to build an expansion to bring DAOC into the future?


Take a look at the combat system in nearly all other MMOs. Is there nothing you can learn from this?


And to all the dinosaurs out there, no i don't want this turned into WoW.

what's wrong with combat system in DAoC?? it's the best combat system with interrupts and positional styles..etc

Do you want to turn DAoC into a GCD based insta cast game like wow and rift so all the noobs can jump around like idiots n cast??

It's the one thing they DID learn from and have not changed it. Jezus do you even play any of these other games?

That would be kickass. Perhaps then DAOC would be rid of all the dinosaurs and bring in a few 100k of fress blood.

More 'modern' combat system? Pretty much every MMO that's come out after WoW has modeled their combat system off of WoW. If you don't want to WoWify DAoC, why would you suggest that the combat system should take any ideas from more modern MMOs?

Even after 10 years there is still a ton of room for improvement with DAoC, but it certainly doesn't need a combat system.

I LOVE what they're doing with the new cap gear though.

What if the entire game was changed to match modern MMOs but kept the entire RvR system the same?


Dark Age of Camelot has the best RvR/PvP system I'll give you that. At the same time it has the worst PvE system.


Every MMO since 04 has mimicked WoW's fighting mechanics and over all movement in general. Evolution can bring some good.


I believe that Dark Age of Camelot Remasted and Re-released = the posible death of 4k old subs, but the birth of 200k new subs.

thats basically one of the main reasons why every mmo since 04 sucked and failed. daoc fight mechanics and cast/interrupt system are the number one usp that makes daoc pvp different and great. daoc players don't want that noobshit wow crap global cooldown button smashing klickiklicki crap. you should understand this and move back to wow. thank you.
