allowing Eir's Intervention to affect RvR targets.

It is the only ability in the game that does not work at all in RvR.

update old PVE encounters, make PVE harder again... add new PVE content and encounters as small additions to existing zones.. like a new monster lair, in the back of camp forrest... new raid dungeons on the scale of sidi/gala/tg ... but make them harder then the current nerfed versions.

1.
5. And I am going to be hated for this: Get rid of RAs and RPs. PvP should be incentivised by PVE rewards. That's how you keep people doing it. Its the way you make PvP active. RAs have only hurt the game. Yes some of the RA abilities are needed but they should be class abilities rather than earned through PvP. If you must have RPs make it some sort of title system or chest pounding award that is tracked on the herald or something.



You got that right! How do RA's hurt the game? If people couldn't get a PvP advantage from PvP, and not just gear, it would be 500x worse than WoW.

This game is only alive because the RvR and without the incentives and advantages gained through RP progression people would leave.


It's sad how little work it would take to make the game more dynamic, such as the lvl 50 Thidranki thing the other week, or adding a new Epic mob encounter/area every 6 months to year to give people something different to try. Reviving old PvE bosses, such as those in Lynn Barfog, would be so easy by just updating loot tables and increasing their difficulty. Make their loot match their difficulty (but DON'T make the loot any better than current stuff) and people would do it.

Also, preventing these mobs from being duo'd by bot/necro or whatever would go a long way.Not saying you should need 5 groups, but one decent group to take them down wouldn't be too difficult.


edit: I am active atm. Just came back a couple of months ago and getting close to being inactive again...

I've never had a problem with RAs: I have a problem with ACTIVE RA's, except maybe purge. I think it's good that you can progress your character through PvP as it gives the player incentive to participate in PvP. I do, however believe that the Active RAs tend to be a bit imbalancing and create a situation where its easier for the rich to keep getting richer.

Higher realm rank players should already have the skill to out play the lower realm ranked players, they shouldn't need big active RAs to timer dump on them as well.

WoW is => way, Aion <= way, Rift ^ way, LOTRO v way, AoC up / there, ... in other words.. if you want PvE, more than enough options around.. now if you want decent PvP, you can only come this way, which is daoc.

Mythic should spend time on what this game does best... not trying to play pve catchup against impossible odds.

At this point, there's nothing that could make me pay to play DAOC again. I've just been there, done that (over and over and over) for way too long. So the first step to getting me to return would be for the game to go free to play. Step 2 would be for at least 4 of my long time guildies to commit to playing so we could run groups that are more than half guild groups and I wouldn't have to try to solo or PUG. Step 3 would be for some kind of significant change or enhancement to RvR (Origins, NF 2.0, etc.). The chances of even one of those things happening is pretty much nil, so I'll stay on the sidelines and wait for a new game.
