I never got into Asheron’s Call but I remember when it came out.   Was that primarily a pvp game?


Thats one of those things that depends entirely on who you ask.

Yes it had open-world always on PvP similar to Ultima Online. BUT there were no leagues, no points, no organized events. The choice to participate was entirely personal(and mainly focused on greed since you got the most valuable item in the person you killed's bag.

But its funny, I've known a lot of long-time AC players; some thought PvP WAS the game, some thought it was a small aspect of it, and some never touched it and thought it was dumb.

So I wouldn't call it "primarily a pvp game" in the same way modern games focus on PvP.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Nope.  They send you a dupe of the server of your choice.  It looks one of these.

I played EQ rallos zek at the time which was pvp in all zones.  So people would be in a safe spot from npc guards and killing people at the bank and looting etc.  It eventually turned into only being able to kill people +/- 4 levels of you and you could no longer loot bags.  I really don’t miss it.  My friends got me into that game and started this whole ...problem..

Well it's not a model A but I just built a CMANGOS server on a Tinkerboard.  For 1 - 2 people it plays WoW better than the DDO servers play DDO.

would anyone be able to put a realistic figure on what it would take to fix the code? just the game at its current state, and then put a realistic figure on what it would take to upscale assets, and majorly address the gameplay flaws from a coding aspect, take that figure and shove it up your asses... just playin fellas and wannabe ladies lol. seriously tho, what kind of dollar figure u think it would take someone with code sources to be able to accomplish this??

$0.00

Investing money in a tired old piece of shit like DDO would be like trying to renovate this place.

That's funny, because when I read the "give me an estimate" post, I was thinking.......tell me how much it would cost to fix my house....without looking at it and knowing what a shitshow it is.

And they'd have to hire experienced engineers to do it,  not fresh grads.  Nothing against fresh grads,  just the scope of something like this would really be helped by experience.

I started playing with it a few years ago when I was learning the basics of sql. I decided I wanted a "real" server to start poking around in rather than just examples "Dog Walkers Palace" etc.

Its not a question of money or time.

They are in this place because of mistakes in the design. Mistakes they started to make over a decade ago. They failed to plan ahead and now it's killing them.

So I guess the real answer to your question is: how much would it cost to build a time machine?

I guess my real question about this update is two parts:

~ Will the larger player base notice the problem with the changes
~ Will they complain if they do

For me, the last lama was a shit show both performance and bow changes, but that could just be me (its not). I'll also say that the devs know that it is shit, between dev chat and Lynnabell's insanely self-defensive posts at the end of the week and yesterday reveal.

~ Not sure if the larger player base will notice much, I doubt that most players have 100% DS or non-damage proc builds. I even go as far as most people don't actually have good builds. Unless basic paladin or barb counts as a good build.

~ The complainers will be swarmed by the forum paladins and will get an infraction/ban if they dare to talk back.

Yep!  That's exactly how my second mobo account got banned.  Jerry the Hutt certainly looks out for his zipper lickers.

Hearing from you about what level of difference it makes will be very useful later this week.



And his many buttkissers rejoiced.
