Has anyone more informed than me heard any discussion of implementing a DAOC realm rank system? For a large section of the DAOC playerbase, it was all the end-game that was needed. DAOC realm ranks seem to me to be relatively easy to implement, and an absolute ton of fun. This game seems well designed for it.

I played daoc for 5 years and I can say that, daoc is a dream and zenimax are too stupid to take a cue from him

The only reason why I quit playing DAoC is their NNF patch was f'n horrible for RvR. 1 central tower take and your realm loses all ports (the only 2 you have instead of 4 like nf). Boats were all forced to Agramon with easy to set up ambushes with a zerg for the poor souls that used the boats once the ports were broken. It forced zerging since running around in small man/8/16 mans would just run smack into a zerg then have to return the favor to have a decent fight wasn't worth my $15/month. They also still allowed /bank to drop siege from in the field that would render a CK/tower useless as a defensive position within 10 minutes which is utter crap.

In all fairness DAOC didnt have their realm ranks at launch, it took about 5 months before they implimented them.

I played DAOC from launch and DAOC was rife with bugs when it first launched and as already mentioned didn't have realm ranks at all for the first 6 months or so. For the first year or two - getting to RR7 was an achievement the RPs came so much slower than the flood that you got 2+ years or so down the track when they brought out NF and Catacombs. I'm not sure the modern breed of player would put up with that now.

Don't forget DAOC had over a decade to iron out its kinks and make the game look what it looks like now. Remember the fun times like getting one shot by super powered archers, smite clerics and Mid zerks pre LA nerf? DAOC is still my favourite ever mmo, however it was pretty broken at times in its history and was by no means perfect. It took a while to get to what it is now (or at least what it was when I left). TESO has only been out what 3 months? Its got a long time to go before its had the chance to mature the way DAOC did. Give it a chance.

I still type fg Mids Emain MG sometime in chat in Cyrodil for *** and giggles though when approaching one of the gates in Cyrodil though. Always amusing to see the response.

Daoc still the best pvp. Even with its own issues.

How about those yummy random 1 on 1 battles you get sometime...... no one adds... yum

I agree. This game has a great foundation in 6 months its going to be rocking

And companies like zos have had companies like Mythic to look over 20 years of issues to release a GD game without as much game breaking sht as this one has. Talking about how a game released 14 years ago (that to date, notoriously had the most seamless launch) and a game released today are comparable. That decade and half old game is still miles ahead of this heap, it took a big company takeover to ruin it.

It is like saying a car released today with worse issues than a car in the 50s is acceptable and expected and we should all dump out money into it and smile because sometime later, when no one cares and has moved on, it might get better but not likely as the game has more breaks every time a new fix is rolled out. But yeah, at least you will have the place to yourself until the switch is flipped off.

edit: still shaking my head at your "rife with bugs" comment. Research it. One of the smoothest roll outs in mmo history.

Greetings,

We have closed this topic as it was originally created in June 2014. In many cases, it's better to create a new thread on a topic that you want to discuss as opposed to bumping one that is rather old.

Thank you for your understanding.
