Uthgard (DAOC)

[Brain]

Anyone play(ed) here? I'm thinking about starting DAOC up again, it's been a while and EQ just doesn't give the pvp satisfaction that DAOC does.

If so, what are the pros/cons? I was thinking about rerolling with a buddy on alb and doing scout/inf duo since we play casually and won't have time to commit to an 8v8 guild.

Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

[Shannacore]

Maaan, i thought this was a guide Uthgaard thread.

I r sad.

[Harrison]

I tried to play there, but the mechanics in that game irk me. I couldn't do it.

[Brain]

Have you never played DAOC or something?

[Harrison]

I beta tested it, and played it upon release shortly before deciding it wasn't for me.

I tried putting time into it again on the suggestion of some of the players here. It just sucks for me lol

[Goobles]

Maaan, i thought this was a guide Uthgaard thread.

I r sad.

You and your imagination, Tralina.

[Scrooge]

I've played there before, ran guilds in all 3 realms (not at the same time, obviously). It's a very fun (and possibly addicting) game if you enjoy group pvp (RvR).

This server is as close to classic DAOC as any server will ever get, though it's not all classic, for example...Alchemy and Spellcrafting are in, but not the expansion with which they were introduced.

[KilyenaMage]

You should check out playtocrush.com -- shadowbane emulator that's nearly finished. They just had another public preview (basically weekend-long beta tests) and it looks like it's on point.

It's really the best PvP MMO I've ever played.

[Scrooge]

Last I checked, the live version of Shadowbane was (made) free as well.

[Myrkskog]

Server seems to have a huge European population, I tried playing but found mountain time didn't align with more than 200 people being on. But I've seen it with over 1000 people as well.

Some classes are unfinished, but for the most part it's DAoC.

[korrowan]

I am going to check this out. NEver got to play this game as my rents would not buy me or upgrade the computer lol.

[muddy27]

I just got DAOC DL and setup today gonna be playing Uthgard for my pvp fix and EQ for everything else classic games for the win! I love how people who trully do enjoy the classics get the chance to the play them as they once were in there prime and not watered down. Ive got play to crush bookmarked and have never tried Shadowbane yet I would definately try it out when everything gets rolling and see how that games PVP system is. If anyones playing Uthgard on the side playing Hibernia send my Firbolg Druid Felwithe a tell :) whats funny is I logged in today to get stuff setup and talked to a guy who plays here as well lol .

[Erasong]

Last I checked, the live version of Shadowbane was (made) free as well.

they shut it down i thought.

[muddy27]

they shut it down i thought.

Yea they did shut the official servers down I checked out the game a good long while ago just never played.

[Scrooge]

I got a presence in Hibernia also, if you can get more people from P99 interested in this journey for PvP, maybe I'll tag along.

[OngorDrakan]

Is there an Emu for Asherons Call?

[AexDestroy]

Is there an Emu for Asherons Call?

No sir. Not at this time. Been waiting on one to show up, but the only one I know of isnt going to be up any time soon.

[AexDestroy]

You should check out playtocrush.com -- shadowbane emulator that's nearly finished.

The only other emu project that matters.

[Scrooge]

My Hib guild, though inactive, we still had some fun times last year during the long P99 outtage in April. Homp/Divinity and Secrets/P99-Dev played in it too, just to name some names.

http://herald.uthgard-server.net/herald.php?view=stats&p1=guild&p2=RPs&p3=DESC&p5=Guild&p6=Fury

Some of the things to come: http://uthgard.net/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=53&lang=en&jfile=viewtopic.php&f=47&t=20661, they're working on integrating the original RA system, for those who don't know, it's like the AA system in EQ but points can only be earned through PvP, as well as PvP dungeons (all 3 realms have access to, non-instanced.)

If anyones interested in seeing how the game is, I can post some screens of PvP action in this thread, let me know...

[Scrooge]

Proof that you don't need to be max level and in perfect gear to PvP! I cropped it to show my PvP stats after one session at Lvl 40 (50 being cap.)

[Zadrian]

I played on Uthgard for a bit. A lot of foreign folks, but overall good servver to play on. Has a really good amount of people.

[Massive Marc]

Did DOAC have end game raiding content ? or was it a PVP based end game ?

[lechrac1]

It does have pve content at cap level but its not as complex as EQ or even WOW. The game is designed around pvp and thats where it really shines.

The uthgard server is hosted in germany, expect lots of euros playing on it.

Ive been playing on it for some time now. The big thing is that you CANNOT box on the server AT ALL. If someone suspects you of boxing the gms make you do retarded things to prove that your 'girlfriend' is a real life person. This makes the game more challenging cause you cant just 8 box a group to farm rps in pvp or plvl yourself up to cap super fast.

Too bad mythic doesnt just create themselves a true classic server. Ive heard from too many people that they would pay to play a dedicated one but I just dont see it happening.

Hey, Thanks for the reply. I'm interested in trying it out this weekend. Not knowing much, could you answer some questions ?

Is it a hard game to jump into (confusing zones/maps/defined objectives)

Looking over their web page, I see that there 3 different server faction ?(not sure if I have that right ?) is there a better faction to choose ?

[nalkin]

I am kind of interested in trying this, but I never played DAOC. Would it be difficult to pick up and figure out the way things work or what?

[Cars]

Bump on this question. I played it for like a day and cant remember anything about it. Also if its all about PvP wasn't Shadowbane considered the premiere game for PvP considering the entire game was ran by players that were sieging eachothers cities and stuff? Or is the end game of DAoC similar to that?

[Kvappe]

DAOC is and pretty easy game, with few mecanics, speed + skills does help alot in the PvP, how ever you can level up quite easy with groups, soloing is for very few classes, however you dont have to med as long or wait for life as long as EQ, so its posible to solo all the way to 50, however its MUCH faster to have groups of 3-4 or even more, groups range up to 8 and are normaly 2 healers + 1CC and rest DPS.

the thing about DAOC is that allmost all classes have some utility they bring to groups very few classes are "solo" the rogue and archer classes are hard to play up solo, but very rewarding when it comes to PvP content.

[Scrooge]

Character Builder: You can see which realm has what classes in it, and what their abilities are, at every level up to 50. All of the classes are available except for those prefixed by a [C] (that's a later expansion not covered in Uthgard.) Enjoy!

[Scrooge]

Anyone up for starting a new pvp crew in Hibernia or Albion? PM or msg me on IRC if you are interested. Something to do while we wait on Kunark, or inbetween raids for ya'll.

[Scrooge]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daoc has all the info you could ask for.

[quellren]

Did DOAC have end game raiding content ? or was it a PVP based end game ?

Later expansions had some raid-ish content, more akin to Sky quests than Vox kills. The emphasis wasn't really on killing big single targets, more groups killing targets for quest items (Trials of Atlantis xpac)

The real 'endgame' was Realm v Realm v Realm. If you haven't played it, it's difficult to really explain the dynamic, but suffice to say the rewards were tangible, like access to dungeons locked out for the other 2 realms, and dmg/exp bonuses. It was fluid. Something like Warhammer Online, but better.

I thoroughly enjoyed that, and I normally hate PvP.

Edit: I might give this a spin, is there a general trend in realm choice for P99'ers?

[Scratch&Sniff]

this uthgard server has a custom raid style zone, i forget what it is called, i think it is call tajendi, but it has some stuff that requires a raid force, although you can use crazy tactics to kill the the stuff with one group, like dying over and over, while you run/kite the mob back to where you respawn lol

[Scrooge]

Toop's crew is going to Midgard. Hobby is onboard for my team, which will probably go to Albion, not 100% on that yet but will know once we get more interested.

There is some decent raid content in the game, doable with 2FG or less with capable players. Each realm has a dragon of its own, then there is Megalodon, Beliathan and Legion in Darkness Falls RvR dungeon (with all 3 realms having access), Frontiers have raid mobs also for each realm like the giant in Midgard which can be killed by any realm capable, just to name a few.

[Gorgetrapper]

Only thing I really remember of this game, is watching my friend play one of the rogue classes, and backstabbing casters and killing them in one hit, then stealthing away as they go "WTF"

[Scrooge]

I present to you all, a video of my crew's only Shadowblade (rogue class), one of the most gifted and talented players I've ever known in DAoC!

We've started a group in Hibernia on Uthgard, so far we have: Hero, Champion, Blademaster, and Bard!

[Scratch&Sniff]

sent me a tell via EQ, i will logg my menty and buff you guys

[Scrooge]

Can you guys who are playing on Uthgard or have a char in Hibernia, post your ingame names here? We're also going to have our own IRC channel soon.

[Gorgetrapper]

Downloading the client now

[Scrooge]

Join #daoc on P99's IRC server if you want to get in touch outside the game.

[Zadrian]

Man if i wasn't in school right now, i would totally load up some DAoC

[Gorgetrapper]

Started up. Hibernia, character name is Gagluk and I plan to be an Eldritch

[Olacaten]

MY char is named solsaris and he is a chanty, but afew of the classes are not finished and there are more higher lvl and low level chars then mid lvl so your going to be soloing alot, im working on trying that SWG server.

[Scrooge]

We're in Hibernia, my char is Varrio, lvl 7 Champion.

[Scrooge]

We have roughly a full group of players now (8 or so), so don't think you'll have to solo much if you join us within a day or two, after that it might be a bit late. I intend on taking the P99-DAOC crew into mid-late teens tomorrow!

[Scrooge]

XP Group going on now.

[quellren]

I rolled a Shar, intending on being a ranger, but I just couldn't do it. I just can't play Hib.

You chose the one realm I dislike enough to not play. Sadface.

[Scrooge]

Make something in another realm, and we'll see you in rvr/pvp! Actually, we need a warden and mentalist, and valewalker and animist maybe.

We're all mostly lvls 7-10 now, and we have more people joining the crew daily almost, got this lvl 10 blademaster also from US.

[Scratch&Sniff]

fine, i will play my menty more, damn you

[Scrooge]

Current List of Players in our DAOC Group:

Varrio - L11 Champion (hybrid tank) - Scrooge
Manh - L10 Hero (tank)
Craii - L9 Bard
Sejira - L9 Druid
Gagluk - L10 Eldritch
Gine - L9 Eldritch
Scaarl - L8 Nightshade (rogue)
Nariko - L5 Druid?
Kaya - L12 Mentalist
Ecived - L10 Blademaster (melee dps)
Hobbist - L5 Blademaster (melee dps)

I'll only disclose the names of their P99 counterparts after I confirm they're not against it.

[lechrac1]

Daoc's learning curve is pretty easy at the beginning; the game pretty much tells you where to go and what you need to do up till around lvl 20.

Like any other game, especially based around pvp, there is quite a bit of end game learning to do to be a real 'master' at the game.

I would say the game is mostly based around having good gear. Skill is definately something that can balance out a fight but when it comes to a super geared out noob fotm caster vs a pro that just hit 50 there is very little chance of winning for the pro. Player crafted gear is almost always built into an end game build too and you can do well with just player made stuff too if you dont like to pve much.

The game really shines in pvp and whereas im not 100% sure about uthguard you can level almost 100% in pvp on live (not so much anymore with the lack of people playing live, but you get the idea).

Damn you guys, makin me want to play again.

The truth says,

I'm curious I never played DAOC. How is it compared to eq? Will it be fresh for me since I never played? Are players actually helpful in this community?

[Scrooge]

Three of us at lvls 23, taking down a L35 Berserker with much higher PvP rank. We killed him several times but at great cost as can be seen here..

Linky, por favor?

[Scrooge]

It's Bob's UI. Btw Quellren, you should group up with Toop's crew, they're your lvl. Also, come to P99 IRC, #daoc. Option B is to group with my group if we have a spot! Send a tell to Varrio (me) or Craii, next time you're on.

[Scrooge]

The truth says,

The truth is: most of the current roster of players we have are first-timers, most are players from P99, and they're really digging the game!

[Scrooge]

Me and a friend (at levels 23) whacking a L34 Friar! Just for the sake of comparison, the XP cap for level 23 is something like 560,000 XP, you can't get anymore than that no matter what mob you kill. In PvP, that limit isn't there!

All you have to do is get an older version of DAoC portal, I think Nalkin has been having the same issue, and found a post on Uthgard's forum about the problem being with the newest version of DAOC Portal.

[vincin]

I played my friends DAOC a week ago. It looks like an everquest wanna be, but the pvp is pretty neat. The population was really nice too. I would say DOAC is a neat game, but im an EQ(Classic/Progression) guy. DOAC is better than EQLive X a million.

[Scrooge]

I posted fraps caps and screenies on this page and the one before it if you want to see what the game looks and plays like.

[Zadrian]

Yeah we have to wait until Uthgard catches up with DAoC portal. Or I can just keep playing 180 seconds at a time =p

I looked for a bunch of downpatches, but they only go from 1.107 - 1.103 which doesn't work out.

So we'll see.

[Scrooge]

When you install an older version of daoc portal, you'll be able to set the client to EU in the settings and then "patch it down" that way. I've also done that myself in the past. We've had people starting on Uthgard just a few days ago. Be sure you patch the game using daoc portal and not directly.

[nalkin]

The current client does not work with Uthgaard: http://uthgard.net/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=53&lang=en&jfile=viewtopic.php&f=15&t=21830

However, in that thread Hoppip is uploading an older client. I downloaded his client and it worked for me.

Now if I could only figure out how to use an ear horn...

[Scrooge]

Now if I could only figure out how to use an ear horn...

Put it on your hotbar and click it.

I'll keep trying. Hoppip's link seems to be unlinked. I'll figure something out.

Hey, Thanks for the reply. I'm interested in trying it out this weekend. Not knowing much, could you answer some questions ?

Is the game Item based or Skill based ?
Looking over their web page, I see that there 3 different server faction ?(not sure if I have that right ?) is there a better faction to choose ?

DAOC is pretty similar to EQ. There's a bit of a learning curve, but if you're familiar with EQ you should be fine. Classes are a bit more complex than EQ but not by a whole lot. There's some reactive skills and such that make the game a little deeper, which definitely helps the pvp. Leveling is a pain in the ass a lot like EQ, it's not bad 1-40 but the last 10 levels take a ton of grinding. The problem with that is that the PVE is pretty lackluster compared to EQ, so you have to put in the time to get to 50, get your gear and RvR. Gearing up in DAoC isn't as big a deal as EQ, you just got to figure out what you want to use as a set and then farm the pieces, which could take you a week or less if you play a bunch. There's posts on the Uthgard forum that suggest different gear sets for level 50.

Basically the way the game works is that there are three warring realms that each have their own slew of classes. There's a set of "skills" that are distributed evenly among the classes in each realm. The "generic" way to look at it is that Midgard (Nordic) is the melee realm, Hibernia (Irish) is the magic realm, and Albion is the stealth/defensive/well-rounded realm. The class design is really nice in DAOC. For example, the "healer" class of Albion is the Cleric and gets healing/buff/nuke lines. For Hibernia it's the Druid with healing/buff/pet lines. Midgard has the Healer with healing/buff/cc lines. So the realms all sort of have "base" classes but with different specialization lines to make them unique.

So it might take some time to get to 50 and obtain your BIS set, but it's worth it for the RvR, since DAOC is essentially the best pvp mmo.

I have a Skald on Uthgard but I ended up quitting since the two American guilds I was in fell apart. Midgard is hella Germans with a lot of other Europeans mixed in, Americans are sort of hard to find so it's hard to succeed when you play during off-hours.

[Scrooge]

We have 3 more players joining our ranks, friends of mine and DAOC vets; L11 Blademaster, Mentalist, and Druid. They just started last night and will be rising up to our main crew's levels for PvP, over the next couple of days.

If anyone still wants to join, it's not too late. Send a tell to Goliathus/Nublu ingame for a group if you're in the level range (-/+ few lvls). We've made some caster alts to help them up there (and to make aoe groups later.) I'll update the current roster list tomorrow.

[Zadrian]

Got it fixed. Playing a light spec Eld.

I heard they were bugged though =(

name's Zadrian. Level 3 atm

There's nothing bugged about any class in Hibernia that I know of.

Mardur: Thanks for the detailed post! I've a skald in Midgard also, though long since retired. We have quite alot of people from the US playing together.

[Zadrian]

Aye I asked some folks and they said that there were some cast timing bugs for the eldritch. Not sure exactly.

Man, I played some freakin' awesome cleric and healer. I only played an enchanter on Hibernia. :b This game was amazing to play before they butchered it with ToA and New Frontiers.

"In 2001, Mythic Entertainment introduced a new team-based form of PvP combat with the release of Dark Age of Camelot and called it Realm versus Realm.[1][4] In RvR, players of each realm team up to fight against players from the opposing realms in team-based combat. This can include normal skirmishes between rival groups that is common in other PvP systems, but also consists of objective-based battles such as taking and holding keeps or capturing enemy relics." -Courtesy of Wikipedia!

all you p99ers on uthgard, check out "turn", in the guild "panic attack", he just got back from school, and is pro RvR

[Scrooge]

It's been a while since I posted an update of our crew, so here it is! Guild Roster on Uthgard's web-stat system. (http://herald.uthgard-server.net/herald.php?view=stats&p1=guild&p2=RPs&p3=DESC&p5=Guild&p6=Fury)

Current List of active Players in our DAOC Group: *P99er

Varrio* - L38 Champion (hybrid tank) - myself - 2L2 (pvp rank, realm rank 2, level 2 - means 12 earned RA points like EQ's AA)
Goliathus - L35 Blademaster (melee dps) - 2L2
Nublu - L34 Mentalist (caster w/mana regen, heal over time, and dots) - 2L1
Cexx - L41 Blademaster (melee dps) - 2L3
Craii* - L35 Bard (crowd control, run speed and endurance songs, hybrid healer) - Secrets - 2L2
Gabranth* - L35 Blademaster (melee dps) - Bounta - 1L9
Hobbist* - L22 Blademaster (melee dps) - Hobby - 1L7
Osav - L25 Druid - (primary healer and buffer) - 1L7
Briyana - L35 Warden (hybrid battle healer) - 1L7

We'll most likely be allying with other PvP crews to make constant groups more readily available for pve and pvp alike. We've already met some solid people through pvp.

Hey man, long time! We've an active crew pvpin daily, we're most of us averaging at lvl 30 with just about everyone RP capped in braemar way before the level cap. If you do "/who Fury" I'm either on Varrio or Hobbist, ask any of the members if I'm around and they'll let me know via IRC if I'm not. What's your chars name?

[Scrooge]

Two more P99ers are joining the fray: Lopan, L11 Enchanter & Odizzido, L10 Bard. They just started Friday night, so if anyone else is thinking about giving this a go, now's a good time to expedite the lower levels and join our pvp groups.

Screenie Update: Dirtnap in Braemar!

Who do you play in EQ Caravelle?

[Kender]

hmm think i might have to have a go at this again. i only played prigianlly for a few months because the RL friend i was playing with met a girl through the game and they ended up running off and grouping together all the time, and left me behind so i ended up not being able to group with them

I play off peak from you guys though, but do any of you play odd times?

if so, what classes would be most desired? i'm liking the look of stalkers (either) so might start with one of them. o course i'm going to be alot lower level tham most of you and i can't for the life of me remember how each class is able to solo... in fact i'm not even sure i've played hibernian before. albion and midguard i have

is there a steady supply of lowbies around to group with if soloing is not an option?

anyways, hope to see some of you around. i'll post back here with my character name if i get going

[Myrkskog]

Seems to be groups going at lower levels very often.

[Kender]

made a shorty ranger called Kender hehe

slowly learning how to play

[loneless999]

gonna give this a go later

activated my old DAOC live account kinda liked it ill give uthgard a try

cant be a HIB-let though MIDS are way better

Been having a ton of pvp lately, went from L39 to L41 today, just from xp earned through pvp! Mids and Albs = my XP!

[Kender]

scratch that heh./ rerolled a bard. Kathryne

[Kender]

well not a bard yet, only level 4, but will be tonight

I must say from the small exposure i had to the server last night it was a very pleasent experience. Maybe it's the knowledge that everyone you meet online is effectively your ally in the war of the realms.

I decided on bard because it seemed 90% of all LFG's were looking for a bard hehe. I've been doing some reading and it seems they are often the ones to be blamed for pvp losses (eep) so looks like starting with a class that can make or break might not be a good idea lol. oh well can only try i guess

Thanks for your help last night Scrooge, big help with advice to start me off. I saw the Fury has captured "some tower somewhere" which was when i started chatting hehe.

so anyway i'm an off peak player during the week, and occasionally prime time during the weekend (kids depending) so if any of you are around at wierd times look me up, i'll be happy to show you how bad a nub i am lol.

You guys have any requirements for joining the guild?

[Kyden]

Lvl 32 bard here, Names Kyden on the server. Hopefully can get to your level range soon to pvp. Seems like you need a bard right now.

[Scrooge]

Most P99ers that were leveling up together have stopped by now, for whatever reasons, I'd probably have stopped too if it wasn't for the non-P99ers in our guild who enjoy PvP like I do!

Fury representin'!

[Scrooge]

PvP Group in Wilton: Leveled past the level cap for the zone by accident, and hit Realm Rank 3 right after! This basically meant that if I died and couldn't get a rez, I'd be booted out and wouldn't be able to come back in. My brave group kept me in the ranks for a long while afterwards, even with a shitload of enemies camping my corpse every chance they got!

I have some more footage of PvP from today, though I may need to split it up into smaller files before posting on youtube. How do I embed the video into this post...anyone?

[Kender]

Nice man!

We're currently in the process of experimenting with a "bomb group," made up of Enchanters, Eldritches, and a Mentalist or two, ranging from lvls 10-17. We'll be leveling those up very soon, after we know for sure who'll playing what. These chars will be alts, but we're also actively progressing on our mains!

I've been doing my own thing as a druid and have gotten burned out, so if anyone wants 1.2plat and 400ish emerald seals, send Gamean a tell and come to Druim Ligen. I will be on for the next 30 minutes or so.

Come pvp with us sometime, you'd see a whole other side to the game. Just to give you an idea of what we're about, here are my pvp stats from yesterday, at level 47. I've made 6.6 bubs into 47 just through this pvp session alone.

I've also frapsed some of that action live! I'll post the video tomorrow.

I appreciate the offer, but I am such a crappy druid that I would just get you killed. I should've made a melee, but I have no desire to start over at this point.

If you want to share some love to a newbie that would be amazing. Not going around begging, but I'd appreciate it! PM if you want to split some up my way.

You can have it all. What is your character name and when do you normally play? I can log in at pretty much any time tomorrow afternoon.

I didn't realize that someone had sent me a PM asking for the stuff, so I guess a 50/50 split would be the most fair. I can log on whenever in the next couple hours.
