If you are joining the Alpha

Hey guys!

I know some of you will be joining the Alpha with us. I really want you guys to sit back and be Alpha testers. Make note of what is broken, and make not on how you can see it being changed. I really want this game to do well like the old days of EQ1, DAOC, and AC.

If someone was saying do not look for a end all game. Please understand this was my childhood, and this was my baby. I still dick off on DAOC from time to time. If you want a feel of the company, and a good look at what is in store. Feel free to go download the old game for free and play it!

There is alot of mechanics in this game that you have seen in other games. If you guys have played GW2, and the old DAOC, and some EQ this is going to be the game for you! If you know people that was good with combos in GW2, enjoyed the structure and the REAL keep seiges of DAOC, and got a bit of a grind tooth make sure people know about it!

Can't wait to see you all in game, lets party like its 2001!

Kinda sorta, cant disclose much but its best to think of it that way.

Soon my friends me and Rak will be able to tell all.

There may be a limit as of now from what I have experienced.

Just think though of the Combos, one you are building your spells and how you want them to react. Plus if you add in the different types = just about anything you can think of. Within a programmers limit, lets not forget that. I would like to have raging flame hurricanes happening when I mix Air and Fire. Still this game is super early development.

So don't get too hung up on the GW2 combos.

I may just have to drop $250 to get into the alpha.

 

Ah project 1999, those cats are pretty cool.

I 100% agree with everything you just said there. Man Kunark was crazy LOIO taking DAYS to run across haha.

That is what I'm hoping for tho, that old feel. Remember when travel took time, and when you went out on a hunt. It was a hunt, I mean seriously! They are even talking about adding back in the meditation book and so on. Where when you create the spell you want to blow, you can scribe it there. Then scribe it to your skills.

Its going to be a blast.

(BTW) on the live servers I quit at a 90 Bard 6k AA points LOL

Another great point!

Some of the skills in DAOC, was positional skills that you would only get the benefits of using them, if you where in the current correct position of the chain starting.

If they used this method, like after a block or so on. Combat could get really reaction based and fun at that point.

JFTI, if you look back the highest damaging skill of the Valewalker in Hib land on DAOC was a side chain.

So just putting it all into perspective.

I would be interested to see how they combine action combat and the separate gear checks i.e. the helm protects the head, the chest plate protects the chest, etc. Also, I hope they can figure out a way to balance the soft cap on skills to prevent bots and macro users from the Darkfall problem of leveling skills.

 

Bots was one of the downfall of DAOC.

It wasn't like the bots we see now there was no scrips really it was just someone multi-boxing 2-3 accounts (like me) to have a buff bot and a healer bot on my 2nd screen to heal my pet I would use to pull with as an enchanter.

Really hoping this isn't the case, cause the only way you could have high level bots was to level a buff bot (druid, shaman, cleric) with protection trees to the max for the purple buffs.

Man I would have TRUE stealthers with buff bots, one shot one kill was a real thing in those days.

Ixium!

Hey buddy, is it worth it? I think so, for everyone who wants to play it to get in on it. There is many features that are going to come out, that needs solid testing people to back it up, and the most important thing of all data. Tons and tons of data.

You want to know their problems, and why they need feedback?

Windows Firewall... almost delayed the Alpha launch just sayin.

They need us, they need solid community to play this game and tell them what to do better. Kinda like Oranthul did for ArchAge.

Just sayin, this game and Kyoji is getting me interested in Crowfall too. Could use alot of Support
