DaoC RvR

if you came back they turned on you again...

what didnt you get about the farming part. I sat in vent with some of those good guilds. I had a friend who talked me into deleting my 50s on percival to go midgard with him to join that guild. They literally did this to farm RR... team up on one realm. till they quit... then fight each other. if they came back out... they turned back on that same realm again.

Wasn't demez added after TOA also?

I remember when druids got group purge... god was I peed :P

Even melee stun you don't have to purge. Again, great players know when and how to use abilities, not just pop them everytime its up.....

Sounds like your server was an exception to the rule. Anytime 1 realm when on the offensive, the other 2 would normally react to whichever benefitted them the most. If preventing the other realm getting all the relics was the most beneficial you did that. If attacking the underdog, meant that you could score he other relic.. you did that.

I don't think I was ever farmed like you were though. Just drop a speedwarp and speed outta there

you purge it if the melee train is behind you. if they are not there you don't

i always laughed at all those shieldtanks that slammed my healer while the assist train is getting kited away form me, giving me a free stun immunity timer.

listen around and around in circles... how can you use amnesia when you are mezzed?

if you ever met a good 8 man... they had a healer... with aoe mezz and aoe stun... first aoe mezz.... if you are RR1.. you get the great opportunity of standing their holding your schlong watching your friends die fast...

once your turn comes you get stunned then killed... LOL are you sure you played pre TOA?

I've played from release until 2 months ago. Talking about the game in an early stage of its life is pointless. What it is today, is what makes it the best PvP. I understand that SWTOR is still young, but regardless the DOAC system even from early on was superior to any I've seen.

So wait, the Healer would AE mez then AE Stun... surely taht's a good thing given that casted stuns would normally last 5~ seconds and would remove the mez?

There weren't many great 8v8 groups pre TOA, most of that was just zerging the mile-gates. If you made it through good for you, if not ... welp expect a stand off.

Amnesia has far superior range to all forms of CC... So if you panned your camera and called for inc in vent then you shouldn't lose .

nothing changes even today.. people always find the fastest way to level up... even in DAOC....one thing poeple also seem to forget was the bad hacking...

radars were very bad back then... where these guilds saw everybody on the field with the radar hack.

heck play today and you still see bad hacking... its horrible as of today even worse then back then.

Yep, and that meant non-stop RvR/PvP action. It was so much fun... in fact, I'll toot my own horn and shamelessly plug my own video...

wow so your group just stands there all packed together and let the guy cast aoe mezz?
looks like a L2P issue to me.

again you never heard of this ability called amnesia? there is a single cast and aoe cast for it on every realm.

guess you are just mad cause you got farmed all day long.

DAOC rvr was fantastic! I left not long after TOA but kept popping back over the years when the latest MMORG attempts at pvp got stale!

Loved the community back then to - was on Kay server - rolling around on my Minstrel :-)

Lurikeen Hero 4tw!!! lol.

Yes, Radar was awful for a short while. But the worst offender's were banned.

Now, there is no Radar and no need for it.

What hack's are there now? Apart from the occasional speed hack, which does no massive harm?

I've farmed RP's, sit inside a keep just AE'ing eveyrthing on my Wizard. Or Buff Shearing everything on my Shaman and just disease/kite away.

Spread out on inc and CC wasn't a problem.
