It's still being worked on, I can see their Devs/GMs being logged into the server on DAoC Portal's server list, it's updated every 15min or so. ESO getting boring already, just 3 months in?



Alright Tewaz, I'll add you as an Enchanter. When you say 'damage buff' do you mean the "damage add" spell which can be used on any player/pet, or the "focused damage shield" which can only be used on pets?

Uthgard allows for two free single-line respecs, given at levels 20 and 40, they allow you to get all your training/spec points back - if you're not happy with the one you're trying. Otherwise special 'Respec Stones' are needed, dropped by high-lvl raid mobs and certain named mobs in the frontier dungeons.

Meh, not boring, exactly. It's overall pretty fun. But it's incomplete terribly balanced and WAY too easy. Have had the feeling since the newness wore off that I'm paying to play a beta. Kind of thinking it might be better when it comes to console.

So, pretty much like every other garbage MMO that's come out in the past decade. Gotcha.

Same things were said about Age of Conan.

And Warhammer Online.

And SW:TOR.

And a couple dozen other MMOs.

doesn't look like the server is ever opening again to me

Pretty much. Joke's probably on me because the last new MMO I played was Rift, what, 3 years ago? Last one before that was Warhammer like 6? Otherwise I think the last "new" MMO I played was SWG or EQ2...No, Vanguard actually. Skipped all the other crap because I knew it would be crap, somehow.

I give ESO a wide berth because I dig the series. There are fun parts of the game but it just boggles me sometimes to consider what complete and utter shit the MMO genre has apparently become. The easyiness, solo everything, nonexistent economy, nonexistent community full of a bunch of ez mode whiners might be bearable if it wasn't for the stupidest inventory system I've ever seen in a game. Get this....The most fun part of the game is crafting. I really dig the crafting. But they decided to "limit" it by gimping storage space. Which is pretty funny considering it's easier to solo the boss of the game than to farm recipes for good food and keep materials around.

I'm becoming convinced that ESOs designers are bona fide idiots. Hell, it was probably lead designer Matt Firor who put the handful stupid things in DAoC that killed it. It's like this guy is completely clueless as to what proportional risk vs reward is or what drives people to play games yet people keep handing him games to design....It's the same kind of crap. And they keep adding new fluff but can't seem to be bothered to balance the classes and builds.

All of which the average retarded modern MMO player finds absolutely wonderful, apparently. These people whine and cry about everything being too hard and wanting everything to be soloable, like everything, then are surprised when they can't find groups for what group content does remain...It's like they want to solo everything but when the 5 mins a month they want to group occurs they expect to snap their fingers and instantly have a group. Also, if you actually like a challenge or appreciate what timesinks or appropriate risk vs reward can do for a game you are an "elitist." Lol. Apparently the show up and get your participation trophy self esteem generation has grown up and now infests MMOs. There was even a guy on the forums the other day advocating for a law, like an actual legal law, that would require that games not reward time spent in games because of "social responsibility." Meanwhile there's another crew absolutely flummoxed as to why they aren't allowed to change their choice of race. Lol

Blah. There's something fun about it that keeps me playing, but the plane really has flown into the mountain with this genre. Still looks like EMUs of older titles are our only hope.

Speaking of which I noticed that some people are looking to emu Vanguard after the servers shutdown in a couple days.

The Uthgard staff have made a new post yesterday on the server's front page, letting people know they're still working on it.

Hello everyone.

We're all quite busy (working on the server) at the moment and there is nothing new to report, except that there are hundreds and thousands more lines of source code. We cannot announce new features currently, because we are working on core stuff between the bits and bytes and there simply isn't anything to report, except that it helps the overall progress.
We are fixing a lot of bugs and prepare missing stuff. We hope we're able to announce news soon. Please excuse that we didn't publish news for a while.

Thanks for your patience and have a nice weekend! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Great to see they are still at it.

Gotta admit, I'm an alb at heart and was kind of bummed to see this crew go hub, but a support bard is one of my favorite classes in any game ever so I'm pretty stoked. Rangers are fun too.

Have you given any thought to playing with this P99 guild in the making', and which classes you'd play if you had to choose; 1 melee, 1 caster, 1 support?

Being a full-time Bard in DAoC can be one of the most exciting classes in PvP, however it will require fast reflexes and constant movement. It's great that Uthgard has those BGs, ranging from 20s to 40s, so we'll get plenty of practice to improve on team-work - which is what it's all about! A group can have the best soloers in the realm, but if they have no team-work they'll get slaughtered quickly.
