Possible return

[Malison]

Hey everyone,

Its been a few months now, and I haven't touched an online game (with the exception of a few hours of EQ at my friends house.)  Sadly, I've found myself missing the mindless slaughter for hours on end, and the camraderie.

I've been taking a glance at Asheron's Call 2.  It looks nice, though I can't say that it seems to offer much in the way of variety.  From what I've heard, its just a fun monster killing spree.  Anyone else play it?  I'd love to hear your opinions.

My other option is of course to come back to DAoC.  I'm considering buying the Shrouded Isles expansion and trying out the new races and classes.  So how is that?  I'm mainly looking for a solid PvE experience, fun quests, interesting monsters, the occasional loot.  I'm still pretty burned out on the whole RvR stuff.  Maybe if Albion ever starts having a significant chance.  

If I did come back, i'm thinking of starting a new character on the Gaheris co-op server, just so i can play All the classes and do all the quests. The lack of RvR would be just fine with me, I can just go RvR with Malison.

Well, those are my thoughts, interested in seeing on who still plays, and if anyone plays on those servers/games.  

I got Suikoden 3 and Wild Arms 3 for Christmas, not to mention a burned copy of Morrowind:Tribunal, so it may be a couple of months before I drag myself back online.

Hope everyone is well.

Look for Geueze on Gaheris; he's been playing there alot recently. The expansion is definately worth getting. Couple it with the co-op server and you have quite a bit of content to go through before you'll get bored.

Welcome back and stop by Iseult and say hi!

Hey Malibuddy long time no see... yah yah kirin conned me back into the game a few months ago and im on from time 2 time... ill give u my professional opinion... poeple on veng have gotten great w leveling now... exp is never an issue because they hardly ever reject guildies based on level anymore which is great if u are starting fresh.. the only catch is that without SI its impossible 2 get where poeple have been leveling... SI btw is lots of fun.. definitely given the game more zing.... armorcrafting or boring and im still broke.. inching my way 2 50 started a bard on bors... having lots of fun there.... thats my take of stuff....

then again star wars galaxies is commin soon and kir told me some of us daocers were gonna srat there 2gether... im might join in w them if i manage 2 upgrade my shitty comp...

Mal! long time no see bud! I'm just gonna repeat what everyone else said... a lot has changed, yah-dee yah-dee yah... check out the new classes, blah blah blah... miss ya dude, come back soon....

Pesa: dude, if you need money, ill give you a bunch next time i see you... I have no use for money, so i usually give it out to broke tradeskillers.

If you do come back and wish to try the Gaheris server, you can look for me as well.  I play a Savage (Perfectd) and an Animist (Imperfections)  I tell you what, the lack of RvR is great, but you can still go out into the frontier lands and take keeps with your guild.  It's against NPC's as you may or may not know.  I love being able to go find a group somewhere on any of the 3 realms.  Also, DF is always open, and you basically walk into any of the 3 entrances...that's great too.  Lots of DF farming goes on day to day.

I'm really torn between RvR and pure PvE.  

On one hand, I love the idea that you can venture between realms and do the other realm's quests. But I wonder if that will get really old quick.  The ability to play every class in the game is just neat.  I sure wish they'd allow that on the normal servers.  I have a feeling I'll miss the feel of RvR with my new character.

Then again, I can always log on my cabalist to dish out a bit of death (as i watch from face down as my dots tick away)

Right now, I'm seriously considering playing an enchanter, they have pretty good damage spells, and run speed.  Plus, its not much of a stretch from a cabalist.  

Reavers look interesting, but I'm not so sure they arent just a dark version of a paladin...do they share the paladins awful 1h damage?

Or I could play a mentalist, they have a pretty amazing versatility.  

My resolve to finish my other games keeps growing thin as the days pass!

[Axecleaver]

Enchanters are due for a nerfing. Not sure it's going to happen, but they're certainly due.

Reavers kinda suck. They can put out more damage with their lifetaps/aura twisting, but overall I was underwhelmed with them.

Animists should be nerfed pretty thoroughly with the LoS fix. Likewise with Necromancers (expectation is that these will now be completely unplayable).

Cabalists are actually pretty uber in rvr right now. So little CC, AoE rules the day. Lay down the ae dot then haul ass and count on paladins endchant and clerics heals to keep you moving. I'd venture to say cabalists are the best alb rvr cloth class at the moment.

[Malison]

Oh how the pendulum swings.

Funny, I never expected to hear cabalist, best, rvr in the same sentence.  Well, maybe I'll give him a shot again.

I don't think they'll nerf enchanters much. They will probably nerf their pets, which I wouldn't care about much.  They have that horrible PBAOE to make up for it.  I think assassins aren't done being nerfed though...

Mali Mali Mali come back bro!!
