Ywain

[asup]

I read on the VN Boards that Ywain might be up and running next week. If that is the case then I will quit playing my cab I made on Iseult. (I already have one on Bors.) When that happens I am going to use him to level my bot.  I am thinking of rolling a minstrel...I love speed classes and now its even more attractive that they can run two songs at once.

I'll be playing my crush Merc, and LB the Sorc. a Mini would be a pretty badass addition to that

i've been playing a reaver

[zaius]

I  took a look at some of the "new" expansions,  has anyone tried out the post-SI classes/races? Or whatever the expansion with the Reaver and the Necromancer.

Catacombs has several, and then there's this guy:

Are all the expansions free now?

[Lifesbane]

good, i was thinking about buying Lotm.

New classes are fun. Reaver has been around for a long while, and is a pretty awesome class imo. Nerco's are ok, really strong. Then you have the Heretic who is totally OP from what i've heard.
And the Mauler, i know absoultely nothing about

[Lifesbane]

necro's are pretty awesome in PvE. They're pretty buggy in rvr though, so most people keep theirs for farming/PLing.

What's the point of a new server when people can just transfer all their cheesed out characters to it.  

If they make another server, they should just have it start fresh.  With old frontiers style pvp--and a few updates so milegate camping isn't as lame as it used to be.

That is what they are shooting at. To basically consolidate all the servers to one. Meaning more population!

With old school experience and grind spots.  Its much easier to get to 50 now.  Even old school 50 wasn't that hard to get... I was there too.

I'd be more concerned about dealing with all the rr10+ transferred characters.  Thanks but no thanks.  

I'd rather deal with 1-50 again than going out against rr8 with ml 10 and maxed out artifact gear against a rr3 with player crafted pieces.

[Kirin]

Yeah I hear you. Problem is those guys with uber chars wouldn't want to play on a new server, so im not sure how many people would really play a Daoc relaunch.

The current game is not too tough in rvr actually. You need to have a good template at level 50, and a buffbot, but then you're pretty much ready to compete

[Kirin]

Ohh McH, i saw your brother in game the other day. He kept rezzing and buffing my noob Merc's ass everytime i'd get pwned

[Lifesbane]

Yea, with a decent template (not real hard to get...most of it can be put together with new uber quest gear and a couple items off the housing merchants. My two SC'd pieces weren't even fully overcharged and I've got pretty much everything capped) you can hold up pretty well at low-mid RR. I got 30k RP's last night rolling with a group of low-mid RR people.

edit- We did get rolled a couple of times by high RR's when our timers were down, but its not a big deal - takes 2-3 min to get back in the action. I'd say we held our own pretty well though in general.

now i just need a desirable class. I've noticed that Melee is not very appreciated in this game anymore. Casters totally pwn melee in 1v1.
