This alone is enough to make me resub.  It's the reason I left.  Thank you sooooo much for listening to the players!!!



-------------------------------------



COMBAT AND REGENERATION CHANGES



 - The bonus to regeneration while standing out of combat has been greatly increased. The amount of ticks a player receives while standing has been doubled and it will now match the bonus to regeneration while sitting. Players will no longer need to sit to regenerate faster.



 - While in combat, health and power regeneration ticks will happen twice as often.



 - Each tick of health and power is now twice as effective.



 - All health and power regeneration aids are now twice as effective.



 - Fatigue now regenerates at the standing rate while moving.

    Dude...



    I was playing this game when it came out and 4 1/2 years later, it was time to give it up and move on..



    You say thanks for listening to the players.. yeah, 5 years later they finally listened.



    As for me, I'll be waiting til they come out with WarhammerOnline..



    ..that will be worth playing. DAOC is old..

    It may be old, but it's still my favorite MMO. 



    Old doesn't change anything except the graphics engine in MMO's.  The program is dynamic enough that if the developers want to they can make changes to keep up with later games as far as gameplay goes.  And DAoC has the best PvP system to me.  I don't usually like PvP but the Frontier is fun stuff.  Plus I can't think of a game with more character classes and possibilities.  And they have pretty much listened to the players since the game came out.  Of all the MMO's out there, Mythic is the one company that listens the most.  I just had one big gripe and that was the regen rates.  Now that's fixed. 



    I'm hoping they do a deal like SOE with the Station Pass.  Then you can play both DAoC and Warhammer for one price.



    EDIT ***



    Oh, yeah.  I admit one other major gripe.  The crafting system.  Whew, what a yawn fest.  But other than that, rock on.

    They even improved crafting... people say skilling up is much easier now.... only time will tell if this is a good thing or not..but I saw more people crafting in TNN last night than in a long time....

    If you played for 4.5 years, you just need a break.....that was a long time to play a game.  I left DAOC and played 3 or 4 other MMO's in between, so now I'm back and it all seems brand new to me..... (I have the Noob fresh feeling again)

    My favorite has always been stealth to hunt stealth. But with TOA Enchanter , Cabbie or Spirtmaster and Master level 2 convoker (presence node) would be my geuss. being that a stealther can't be hit with magic,only melee, if it's seen with the presence node. sick the pet on the stealther, typicly the stealther will run and you cast after thier hit by the pet.

    Nice to see a positive thread ! 

    Yes the game is old  but not dead yet - in spite of the ones that are predicting doom and gloom. 

    It IS still fun and many that go away come back.

    In my experience Mythic does a better job  listening to their customers than many others.

    There is no need to really hunt assassins because MoS has made them worthless to play.  You will only find them bridge camping.  If you want to kill assassin then play an archer.  You can see them and shoot and often kill them at a distance where the assassin can't do anything.  If you do not want to be an archer then play a vamp because they can see stealth if you spec right.

    I play CLassic on Gareth as as far as BG's go - melee Ranger is the best stealther hunter - although if you run up on a Beastmastery specced hunter you are screwed.

    Too late, there is noone left playing lol.  I resuscribed for a month, what a yawn fest.  Spent more time trying to find a group than actually playing.

    Amazing.. I never have troubles finding  a group on any server yet -  staying long enough to find a guild would have helped too :/

    Okay, I went back and resubbed just to see with this patch, and I have to say this is the best patch for gameplay they have made in a long time.



    They've gotten people out of the task dungeon cycle by upping the xp in the original zones and in the SI zones.  Now those zones are hopping again. 



    They've upped the regen rates, so no more sitting on the hiney instead of actually PLAYING the game.  Excellent.



    A lot of the classes that needed help have gotten it.  Sweet.  And from what I read on the Herald there are more of those to come (Menties).



    I think Mythic did a good job this time.  I think the biggest help was the regen rates and the xp boosts.  That's going to take a lot of the tedium out of creating new characters and get them out into the zones where newbies can have someone to play with when they try the game out.

    Great. Now all they need to do is balance casters, and some of their former subscribers might give a damn about the regen rates.
