DAoC addict looking for a new fix....
I have gone through a LOT of MMO's (DAoC, Asheron's Call, Asheron's Call 2, WoW(from vanilla), GW2, PlanetSide, Aion etc. etc. etc) but by far DAoC has been my favorite. I'm hoping I can find a semi-equivalent game I can continue to play.
Price -> Don't care.
Play style -> I seem to love the "trinity" more or less. Characters should have specific roles they play in order to fill a group. So this is very much WoW / DAoC style in which you need tanks, healers, and DPS. I am currently playing GW2 and that is an aspect I do not enjoy so much. You basically get a group of 5 dps and dominate everything. Sure there is some tactics involved with dodge which I like. But I miss having a specific healer, a main tank, and dps.
Crafting -> Meaningful, if you decide to do it.
PvP -> I LOVED DAoC's RvR. Taking over keeps, hammering down doors, etc. That's probably why I was drawn to GW2. I didn't enjoy WoW so much with the CTF, etc. I preferred open world fights.
Stealth -> I loved my Infiltrator in DAoC. Go in, try to one hit some one then get the heck out. Climb up the keep walls to spy or take out a caster (if you could), etc. I felt the stealth was rather balanced in that. I was squishy enough to get blown up, so I had to pick my battles and decide who to go after and how to get away, etc. WoW had this with the Rogue, but I just didn't like that kind of PvP.
Chars I played / Loved in DAoC -> My Minstrel -> Full support char, it was awesome. My Infiltrator -> In, boom, run away. Spy on keeps, etc. My Paladin -> Different chants depending on the situation. Ice Wizard. Scout -> change arrows depending on target / armor, etc.
Chars I play / like in GW2 -> Warrior, but Norn with Sunrise, looks awesome. Ele -> Fast paced, d/d. Thief -> Love the idea, hate the stealth mechanic.
That should give you enough to go on for now. If you have any questions, let me know!

But ESO is more like GW2 in the aspect of classes. There is no real role definition like tank - healer - dps. Everyone can be everything. Everyone can pickup a healing staff and have good heals. Sure a templar has some special heals f.e. group but they cost so much "mana" that the staff way seems to work well too.
Everyone can wear all armor classes, f.e. Sorc in heavy armor and so on. And a mix of armor might be best. Also everyone can stealth from what I have seen so far.
Thats the one of two things that keeps me from buying the game. The other is no real pvp ranks like realm ranks in daoc. If there is a game with those two it would be nice to know
umm DAoC?
Or if you feel dangerous check my sig...
