If you find DAoC boring then yes, try any game you think looks interesting.

PS=Win

DaOC=Lose

HELL NO
thoose are your choices, you like RPG it would be more fun to play DAoC instead tho if u also like FPS and RPG probably PS and if u only like FPS and dunno why u got into DAoC then change emiedietly to PS.

Is DaOC good?

Ex DAoC player here, got bored with DAoC and sold my account, I think you will like it, I like FPS as well tho, so I know I will.

I had a level 48 scout and they started screwing around with everything and I would just get killed by the rogue type classes before I could do anything because they nerfed the hell out of my guy. It sucked but it was fun as hell until then I could do half the health of warrior in like 1 shot and kill a wizard type guy in 1.

daoc is faeg, i mean no skills required to be good + first u hit the evil dude 1 time then he hit u 1 time, thats not how games should be at this moment. i mean even nethack (old ascii d&d game) let each side hit eachother different amount of times, not first u hit then he hit

The only people who could honestly answer your question are bound by the NDA, and cannot explain anything in detail.

As for people like Big hoss, he's a bit hypocritical when it comes to Daoc.

I had a level 48 scout and they started screwing around with everything and I would just get killed by the rogue type classes before I could do anything because they nerfed the hell out of my guy. It sucked but it was fun as hell until then I could do half the health of warrior in like 1 shot and kill a wizard type guy in 1.

If they cant have a class that can kill something everytime they RvR, the bitch and moan about how thier class is gimped.

I think the best way to sum it up is.

Daoc-Social RPG
PS-FPS RPG

Maybe it'll come down to whether you like the old world ethos or sci-Fi, and whether your a twitch player.

I'm currently a DAOC'er, have and always have been a character whore (about 15 aliases I think)... and to say I'm looking forward to PS would be to say the ocean is slightly moist.

I quit DAoC a while back, mostly because of two reasons:

1. The treadmill killed me

2. The classes were changed so bad.

PS is a FPS, but it also has that one thing from DAoC that keeps oyu playing.. PvP. I think PS is going to be MORE then worth the switch.

I'm playing DAoC right now(mainly BGs), and I would have to say yes, switch to Planetside.

While DAoC does have tactics and strategy, as stated before, it lacks in the skill area, like all RPGs. Also, to much of what determines victory is based on numbers of assassins each side has. Numbers of other types of characters has a reletively minimat effect.

I still enjoy DAoC for now, but only until I can get my hands on PS.

LesserShade · 2003-03-22, 07:02 PM

I plan on trying to play daoc and ps..we'll see how that goes

ShadowLurk · 2003-03-22, 08:14 PM

If your a big pussy and like gloating because you play more than other people and have a better character, then by all means play DAoC. If you want kill someone and accomplish something that actually requires skill, then play planetside. Also, if you kick ass in planetside, then its because you are good, not because you sit at your computer all day clicking one button every few minutes to initiate a fight, and pressing one over and over again to use a special attack (:o ).
