i find that the only people who have a problem with daoc mechanics....are the people are were horrible at the game
QFT
People like WoW casting mechanics better because it's easy mode. Bad players. DAoC casting made proper tactics and group coordination much more important. Don't overextend!

Calling one mechanic easy mode and the other more hardcore is pretty stupid. Casters had more strengths and weaknesses in DAOC. When I first started playing there weren't nearly as many interrupts either, so the game isn't even the same now as it was then. I respect the fact that for a few of you unsubstantiated epeen from DAOC is all you have going on, but you should at least try to make sense with it.

No, bad player. Interrupt system is harder than free casting WoW easy mode. Does this need to be spelled out?

apparently so, because I see plenty of casters and non casters in both games.
The fantasy you have created in your mind where DAOC was the perfect test of skill because you feel you were good at it doesn't exist in reality. It was a mediocre game at best and the fight mechanics changed drastically during the course of its existence. There is no series of facts that you can state that prove your subjective opinion, AND it is pretty stupid based on how much the core mechanics changed over time.

Please many changes changed the impact of the interrupt system over times. You guys are monumentally sad to defend this so hard. You're like those 30 year old ex high school football players defending the glory years, only your glory years were spent hiding on bridged in a video game for fifteen minutes so you could stab a 12 year old to death then spit on his corpse.

I was good at WoW and Guild Wars and City of Heroes and several other MMOs as well with completely different casting mechanics than DAoC. That doesn't change that DAoC casters have it the hardest and always have. Not being able to cast when hit by a stray AE or with a pet on you makes you completely useless as a caster or healer. The importance of peeling, kiting, and proper crowd control are all related to keeping your casters and healers going. While they certainly have come a long way from where they once were, daoc casters still have much less survivability than in most games.
Hope I see you in guildwars2, baddy

there were plenty of changes. one I know for sure about was the interrupts they specifically added to certain classes or certain abilities for classes that couldn't close quickly. They changed the abilities of classes constantly with interrupts in mind, both offensively and defensively. Apparently you are too big a moron to understand this.
Your moranness is pretty legendary here, but do you honestly believe no game changes changed the way a class dealt with interrupts? Everything from DPS to CC impacted interrupts. Retard.

so the core interrupt system was changed.....by classes having interrupts?
i can't even choose a place to begin to describe how retarded that is
