gives me a place to roll a lock i guess.....
This is a discussion forum for the english DAoC server known as Prydwen
https://pryd.net/
"Stealing" players from other servers is not a long term solution. Classic can and prolly will end like excal/pryd sooner or later, there just won't be any server to cluster it with.ruudoniac wrote:i thing clasiic servers will be uber ..... more population than the half dead excal and pryd...
Before you will be lvl 50, good GGs will be RR5. Nothing to different from normal servers.all start from begining and u wont have to face all the rr11 groups that u dont have a chance against ..
No 25% healing effectivness, no 75% healer power pool, no 25% cast range = longer fights?no toa bonuses 10% cast speed 10% spell/melee/style dmg = longer fights and more fun
No changes for groups, and for stealthers... thers not many around on us classic, why bother with Vampiirs, Friars and that alike? And since people do use DI bots on normal servers, what makes you think people wont use ranged BBs on classic?no bots = more ppl will enjoy RvR and not staying at main keeps beging for buffs to do 1-2 runs
In that case, why you bother with fotm ToA templates? Ignoring stat caps, you can easily create a template with some ToA bonuses, few artifacts and cheap SC.yes there still will be darkspire farming and stuff but the difference wont be that great -- come on 25 more stats will only be noticeable to stealthers ..
No FoP, no cure nearsight, you will soon realise how shit crack and pow songs are...no op abilites that can change the entire battle -- banelord,brittle guards,bg!!,grapple
I think good GGs will enjoy fighting GGs from french/german servers, while casual players will realise their performance is no better than on normal servers, and eventualy quit the server.and another think .. most of the l33t groups from exc/pryd dont think they wil follow the rest on classic server ... so i think we ll avoid the huge rr difference for long time ...
I do not think, ToA put anything in this game to specificly support Zergs, so I do not see how there could be any difference between ToA and non-ToA.well do u remember when toa released ... for about 2-3 months rvr was dead...and then when all were finished with mls rushed out to rvr creating huge zergs ... that still exists ... so hope we avoid that too
You simply cannot recreate "classic" feeling with removing ToA. Frontier has changed, RAs have changed, and all in all, people do know how to play this game much better than they did in the past. New determination and nerfed MoC are just 2 things that did shake that old caster/tank balance.and finally will c all that group setups that we all missed .. hibs pbaoe groups, mids pure tank groups , albs ..ehhmm .. hmm trying to zerg to get arpees :Pp
I like ToA, it's just to much as a casual player to ToA all my chars, subsequently i am down to 2 chars that i am able to play. Some chars that i would like to play just cant compete, i have a rr6 bard, a rr5 bm and a rr4 ranger doing nothing cos i don't have time to toa them :< having said that i certainly won't have time to make them on a classic server :/Gandelf wrote:I am looking forward tremendously to this server.
Also, I don't know about you, but the fact that Mythic (and subseqently GOA) have decided to introduce "Classic" servers, suggests only thing... that ToA was a mistake. Why else would they introduce new servers without ToA? Obviously, thousands of players have told Mythic they don't like ToA... there is no other reason. If players were happy with ToA, then Classic servers would not have been introduced.
atleast its "good" players beating casual players. not casual players being beaten by people who's #1 skill is having no job.HappyG wrote:I think good GGs will enjoy fighting GGs from french/german servers, while casual players will realise their performance is no better than on normal servers, and eventualy quit the server.
Your choice where you want to play, but to many casual players have hollow expectations, they will actualy perform better on classic, while they will most likely fall in the same range as on normal servers.
