ML's, Artifacts, and those are what really killed it for me. It really was awesome getting the levels out of the way (1-50) finding an SC'er, and armorcrafter/weaponcrafter, and getting your gear and template made, and then going to RvR. That was it. 1-50 was like 3-4 days of PL, and about 20p for the gear. Made it easy to get into RvR.
Then ML's and Artifacts came along. Not only did you have to do each ML in order (well, they are pretty lax now about it) and farm mobs for artifacts (again,t hey became more lenient on it) you had to then grind and level said artifacts (yea. they nerfed this too! little too late tho).
So the 3-4 days of getting ready for PvP turned into over a month when you rerolled to play different classes/realms.
And I know, some of you are going.. just a month? bah thats nothing. and it isnt, really, but when you have a game like DAoC, where you play 1 realm for a while, get rr6-7, and reroll to try another realm (for variety) it does kind of grind on you. Staying 1 realm isnt very fun because its only 1/3rd of the game really =x
Also have to remember that PvE was not the reason you play DAoC. PvE sucked. Hard. =/ |
Epic PVE encounters sucked very hard in that game. Whomever the genius was that developed the to-hit modifiers for those battles should never be near a MMO again.
Whiff, Whiff, Whiff, Whiff, Whiff, Whiff, Whiff, Whiff, you hit uber mob for 5 damage, whiff, whiff, whiff, whiff, whiff, whiff. Hopefully that crap stays out of Warhammer.
Ignoring the PVP side of the game in DAOC was Mythic's downfall and they deserve the very very small subscriber base they have now.
