/shakes head... back then if you cast mezz on people and recast it only cut it down half.. so insta to stop them from reacting... then you casted longer mezz after they are all standing there... which lasted 45 seconds.. then aoe stun a section.. they would take them out...... then aoe stun the next...and that is how a good 8 man worked lowbies in RR

don't be so mad

beeing below average (which you clearly are given that you don't know the basics of 8vs8 fights) is still ok, people like you given me pleanty of realm points and fun

thanks for playing
LOL still trying?

i was the 8 man.. and im telling how we did it... who said I was on the receiving end? And im telling you how sick it was to be higher RR to a lowbie and easy. assume... makes an A S S out of U and ME.

oh and another im leet person.... face the facts... daoc had its flaws... if you didnt see it then you are blinded by your own fanboyism. I loved daoc but it was no all rosed color glass like people make it to be.

plain and simple. by denying its own problems saying it was perfect makes you no better then the players who come here to SWTOR about WOW.

Been on the first raid on the EU servers, led by Pesti, I think.
My bad rig back then gave me up to 5 seconds per frame. but the abilities fired on time as the combat log did show perfectly fine afterwards.

I was the first or second master smith for midgard once the recipies had been fixed.
We could never find out who was the first to hit the magic number.

DF was my second home.
Q: So, is there anything at all in the game that mitigates falling damage?
A: elevators

So you are talking about pre Immunity Timers? Where if you were mez'd and it lasts 20 seconds, you couldn't have mez reapplied for atleast another minute.

You must have played for such a short time.....

I'm refering to DAOC as a hole, no the first 8 month's of it's release. The RvR now is second to none and it's why I will probably return there shortly due to getting bored with SWTOR's PvP. Yes, it had problems but it wasn't insurpassable....

i told you we were talking pre TOA... it was before all that crap... when max RR was 10.. not 13... and i know what you are talking about with the immunity timers. I am talking about the era where there was only 3 BGs... thidranki... cale and crap the higher levle one cant remember... never really played it just leveled straight to 50 after cale..

I played before BG's were even thought of and I was the one who said people should just come straight to big boy RvR .

But before NF, the majority of the fights existed around the mile gates. Yes, I remember Smite Clerics killing full groups (Angelfury of Kay, Kantrell can back me up there) would just run in, PBAE mez, stun then smite them all to death.

But my point, is the game evolved it realised these problems and dealt with them. Why other MMO's can't learn from the way DAOC is now.... is what I'm getting at.

The Combat system, RvR system, class balance, through to immunity timers, diminishing returns etc all make DAOC great.

The fact that the game had 3 factions, with 15 classes per faction and be able to maintain any kind of balance, to me means they did it right. Games with what, 8 classes across 2 factions which are duplicates can't get it right......
