Any hints on when Land of the Dead is coming? If the rest is anything to judge by, it seems like they'll have to spend years working on NPC AIs to make it half-decent =(
I'm surprised this has any traction at all. I partook in release and remember it being a dull mess with some interesting ideas and with balance way out of whack (not in a good way).
Not to mention it was a friggin' eyesore because they didn't even have proper AA options on launch all while appearing extra jagged for some reason.
Why the fuck are you even PVEing in this game? The only PVE you would even want to do is public quests, otherwise you level and get gear in RVR or in arena. And then (what ruined WAR, besides having not having 3 factions.. and not having destructible keeps...) for end-game RvR the two sides try to out-race each other in finishing Public Quests to get moar points and move towards the enemy capital. Alterac Valley style, lol.I finally got to Stage III in Nebhorest's Tower but even a level 19/20 Hero two-shots my level 40 toon
I guess I'll have to try and organize a little group with a tank and healer. I wanna see dem unded orcs

Darkness Falls was a beautiful idea.Why the fuck are you even PVEing in this game? The only PVE you would even want to do is public quests, otherwise you level and get gear in RVR or in arena.

Speaking from a Runepriest's perspective, some of the gear from PVE was unquestionably better than the stuff you'd get for RVR. The game had really shitty itemization for healers, and for some reason all of the RVR gear gave DPS stats like +int or +spell crit, meanwhile the only way to get healing crit was through the PVE dungeons or public quests. Most of the good runepriest passives were geared around landing crit heals, so doing the PVE stuff was pretty much a requirement if you weren't playing a shitty DPS or hybrid build. I remember wearing a set of shoulders from a T4 public quest well into the endgame because it was the only one that gave healing crit, it wasn't even the Sentinel stuff from the Capital dungeon that 99% of other Runepriests were wearing, and I'd get tons of whispers asking me where I got them.
As an aside I hope Land of the Dead never gets implemented, screw that buggy trash of an expansion. I always liked Darkness Falls in DAoC, but LotD was a complete disappointment in comparison.
edit: Hell, I'm pretty sure the best staff for any caster period came from killing one of the bosses in Bastion Stair. It had a good amount of +piety or +int depending on the class, a good amount of crit and I want to say 3 slots? A buddy of mine abused some bug with White Lions where resummoning your pet repeatedly gave you 100% parry chance, and we ended up killing the boss with just the two of us. Someone must have been watching because he ended up taking a ban for it. I always applauded his sacrifice for this generous act. I got my staff, and he made the ultimate sacrifice
They never bothered me when I played mah Squig Herder.just play bright wizard, flick your fingers and watch things burn.
The more of us playing, the more motivated I get to actually play the game :lul:Would be great to get a few more players together. We could run some scenarios or help with Open RvR at weekends.
I am tempted to give this a try. Is there just a single server up at the moment?Would be great to get a few more players together. We could run some scenarios or help with Open RvR at weekends.
MORE IMPORTANTLY I could do the storeh-related Public Quests without begging in chat
Levelling can actually be really fast if you have someone to help you farm/grind PQ mobs in large numbers. I went up like three levels in an hour just by following a higher-level marauder around for a while.
At the moment I have my WH at level 40 (but crap renown) and I'm levelling a Black Orc to 40 in my spare time. I've made a couple of other toons just to focus on the storeh quests in the different racial areas.
