Is ESO like a DAOC 2?

Ever play Dark Age of Camelot? Amazing but ancient PVP game (which strangely enough is still around). Though some of its mechanics are oddly familiar...


Tri-realm combat centered around keep taking...

Faction-locked races with unique racial benefits...

Guilds able to claim captures and territory...

Multiple skill lines to pick and choose abilities from...

Level cap of 50 with extra RR levels for added power...

Post-50 Champion levels for even more grindy goodness...

PVP-unlocked war powers for large-scale combat...

PVPVE dungeon competed over by the three realms...

Play as a Vampire... (well, actually a Vampiir...)

Play as a Werewolf... (wait, sorry, wereBEAR...)

Soul-grinding and tedious crafting system...


Actually, considering how much more there was, it's more like DAOC 0.2 - Alpha Edition.
Simplified and streamlined for the modern age of instant gratification.
With action combat!!! It puts the sword in its belly!!!

But no player housing, legendary artifacts, underwater exploration, or poison crafting.
ESO meanwhile has Caldwell Silver and Gold.

Ever notice how the racial flavor of Albion is similar to the DC? Or Hibernia to the AD? Midgard is sooo Skyrim EP.


Nostalgia is fun!

    LOL... I asked the same thing here:
    http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/204378/eso-daoc-2

    Good conversation there... go check it out. Pretty much @ZOS_MattFiror was a designer on DAOC2... so that's why we see similarities.

    What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
    That's right... Horse.

    Yup but much better. Less classes. More flexibility. A lot more pvp action and a lot less lag. Plus no trials of atlantis
    Reften
    Bosmer (Wood Elf)
    Moonlight Crew (RIP), Misfitz (RIP), Victorem Guild

    VR16 NB, Stam build, Max all crafts.

    Azuras & Trueflame. Mostly PvP, No alts.

    Semi-retired till the lag is fixed.

    Love the Packers, Bourbon, and ESO...one of those will eventually kill me.

    I'm watching that currently but have heard naught but negativity over it thus far. The fanboys are disillusioned.

    Which puts Crowfall at my top pick presently.

    they have similarities but thats it.
    in the end matt took all the crappy stuff (e.g. TOA) abit of the ok to good stuff and nothing of the exelent parts of daoc and put it into a new envelope.

    SwG NgE was fine once they caved and started adding things back in that they'd removed, it was actually quite good very close to the end, it's just a shame that Lucas pulled the license.

    You kidding? The game is still in alpha, and the progress they've made (not to mention the studio's interaction and transparency with players) is amazing. Builds aren't flexible like ESO, but the paper-rock-scissors style of the classes (everything has a strength and counter) and the deep sandbox-ness of the world make it something to pay attention to, at least imho.

    The game is in alpha. They are implementing better textures though right now, so the appearance will change a lot in coming weeks/months.

    Actually, ESO would be DAoC 3. Warhammer was(heavy emphasis on was) DAoC 2.

    graphics do not tie you to a game, its like icing on a cake nice to watch if done properly but that it - if the cake is foul (ESO) the iceing doesent matter ...
