Over powered shield class:

And what exactly does this have to do with anything?



As an example of not needing a shield, especially while grouped.



And how is a video from like 7 years ago have anything to do with the game today???? Pretty bad example.

the only reason to return is that all other MMO's suck, which leaves a void to fill. Now if dear ol' mythic realizes this that daoc is probably one of a kind MMO out there they start developing a daoc 2 or a new xpack



They are working on an xpack strategy. But nothing as grand as Toa. Its release is dated around GW2. I was told early 2011 is target. I doubt it.

What has changed that will make the game fun for me again?



Probably nothing, since you want to be able to kill everything with great ease and not risk dying yourself. A single player game with a cheat activated might suit your playstyle better.

LoL..

Expansion? DAoC?

From the same group that can't even do a cut & paste "event" without breaking a dozen things?

There's no way EA is sinking another dime of development into this game. They know that the remaining playerbase will stick around whether they add new content or not.

Any additional expenditure won;t come close to covering itself with new/increased subs.

Please stop sending me PMs. I am not going to reveal names.



What ever you are smoking and snorting, it is time to stop. I have never sent you a PM.

I do not know where you got the idea that I want to kill everything with great ease and not risk dying.


I have never stated that or anything like that.


It is people like you that hurt forums like this, making false statements.

Well, you say that 100% shield block rate to 60% was omg horrible. Are you retarded?


Anyways,


Scouts are very viable, and one of the cheasiest classes out there. I'm sure you'll love it.


All classes are crap when unbuffed, but there are buff merchants in NF that sell full buffs at about 80% of the buff cap. Scouts also get self str/con, dex/quick and spec af buffs, so all you really need are bases.


Items are still a very important part of this game. If you're not willing to come up with a good template, or even cap your dex, you will be horrible. Still if you put in the effort it wont be difficult and scouts are really good at farming gold.

The video is dated June 26, 2008. Not sure where you got 7 years ago unless BavarianDan waited 5 years to post it. However, almost anything is possible in YouTube, so, you never know for sure. It is an ugly video.

I will not say any more about scouts, I have lots of other toons anyway, in all three realms.


As an alternate to DAoC, may be this will turn out to be a good game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMTAuvrJHdk

The video was done before the LA nerf and there was a fight outside the OF RvR dungeon, they've been gone since 2003 IIRC.
