Because the days of having to sit for hours spamming items in cities or run to every single house to look for something interesting were so much better.

cc makes daoc a great pvp game, this far in, if you dont run at least purge 3, than thats on you.

I always thought it was the unique three realm RvR that makes DAoC’s RvR/PvP great.


I do not believe that Kxsleeper was discussing purge but rather the heavy roll that cc has taken in the game. You are correct that it is on the player who does not have purge (or purge 3) but that point has little bearing on the subject of “too much cc” in DAoC, too little cc in DAoC or just right cc in DAoC.


Kxsleeper said “too much cc”, not that the game should not have cc. I agree with kxsleeper that there is too much cc. The game should be more of a rolling brawl, not bash the statue. cc is far too important in today’s game.

Total fail of a thread since everyone knows that 8 man Elitists killed DAoC in 2005.

WOW was a shiny new MMO from industry giant Blizzard. There was nothing Mythic could have done in Catacombs that would helped at all with losing people to WOW.





By the time they sold to EA the game was already in maintenance mode. It's not clear if DAOC would even have continued to stay alive without EA's money.





More expansions would have helped bring back players for a little while after they came out, but there are far more significant factors keeping people from playing DAOC. As long as those factors remain, people who came back for expansions would leave again in a few months after they got bored of the new content.





Who really cares about that? I have a hard time believing that is a factor in any significant number of people quitting.





How would getting exclusive access to a crap class have helped Midgard? I've never really understood what the problem with having one fewer class is other than a fixation on numbers. Adding another class would just mean one more class getting excluded from groups in favor of warlocks and bonedancers.





The money and technology wouldn't have been there if they hadn't done WAR. Spending the money on DAOC instead wasn't an option.





Yeah it's our fault for "crying" about Mythic's bad decisions like adding classes such as animists and warlocks, adding expansions like TOA, taking years to crack down on cheaters, continuing to pretend lag and ghosting don't exist, etc.





Seriously? Aside from NF, they've spent almost all their effort since the game was released adding PvE content:

- epic mobs (Llyn Barfog, etc.)
- epic armor quests
- Darkness Falls
- dragon zones
- frontier dungeons
- Shrouded Isles
- Trials of Atlantis
- Catacombs
- Darkness Rising
- Labyrinth
- dragon campaign
- all the other campaigns and holiday events

How much more pve did you need???

daoc waas dead long before EA, MJ was a bit of a tool. I don't think the Mino race has had any impact on the game.. DAoC has never had any pvp, it's always survived on rvr. Midgard has never really needed much in terms of help, the Mauler would not have fixed the areas that Mid does fall short in.

Cba to type any more, I think OP is high.

Eh, so DAoC was damaged because mids didn't get Mauler (the best class ever to hit RvR of course...) and WAR failed just because it concentrated too much on RvR (not because WAR's RvR was just plain bad)?

I've played daoc from release like many others. I've quit and come back like many others as well. I've leveled and geared almost every class like many others as well. I've quit and come back about 3 or 4 times like many others. Being a mostly solo player myself.. the absolute main reason I left and said f%$( it was because I couldn't compete with players with better gear than me. I'm talking no talent involved. I lost my last daoc 1v1(I know its an rvr game) to another player of the same basic class(stealther) spamming 1 style against me while I was using everyone ability I had. I didn't have the time to run raids or pay out for the gear he had so I lost.... every time.

I don't pay anyone to waist my time. Why should I pay someone the same as everyone else to have profanity gear because I work for a living and don't have 18 hours a day to farm profanity to be competitive?

DAOC was and will always be the greatest PVP game I have ever played, but I will never play it again. I just read the boards occasionally the see whats new and what I'm not missing.
