DAOC: Origins - New Server

[Dr. Edge]

look a few pages back I linked where you need to uninstall newest launcher and redownload older one

[Nocsucow]

thanks man i found it ... is uthgaard still DDoSing it ?

[Nocsucow]

the framework that comes with old launcher is not compatible with windows xp it tells me ?

[Dr. Edge]

im using windows 7, not sure

[Nocsucow]

yea this sucks not sure what to do now ....

[Gaffin 3.0]

tried running it as admin?

[Nocsucow]

its a framework issue .. new launcher wants framework 4.5 installed before launcher will install and windows xp cant use that frame work

[MrSparkle001]

Looks like there's a lot of quests missing, and one quest was entirely in french.

I can't even figure out how to get to the battlegrounds.

[Gaffin 3.0]

lvl 17 right now doing dungeon crawl

[Nocsucow]

box pops up in the blue part is says " Camelot start up fail " then in the box with the "ok" button it says "could not write to debug.log."

is the message im getting when i try to launch origins useing portal

[Gaffin 3.0]

try a diff framework, maybe you DL'd the framework for windows 7

[Gaffin 3.0]

hit lvl 20 im gonna take a break for the night, had alot of fun first time playing this. hit me up on midgard

[Nocsucow]

box pops up in the blue part is says " Camelot start up fail " then in the box with the "ok" button it says "could not write to debug.log."
is what im still getting after launching from portal

[Dr. Edge]

my experience so far on Origins,
rolled a kobold savage, got in a zerg group, went from level 5 to 18 in what seemed like a couple hours, maybe a little bit more.

Honestly I might reroll a shaman or a stealth class like hunter or shadow blade,
maybe it's the game in general or maybe it's just the nature of zerging, but I have no idea what I'm doing, I run around following the dude I'm assisting, then I press assist, then I press attack and it's too late the mob is dead and everyone is already killing the next mob, maybe I just suck at melee,

plus I'm left handed so it's hard to use the arrows and look for tab, etc.. I'm getting really frustrated and honestly not having fun, the conversation isn't even good.

I realize everyone has played this game to death and just wants to get to end game but damn I feel like I could put my guy on follow and walk away for an hour and no one would notice or care.

tomorrow I'm going to solo for a bit and try to learn what these 20 style buttons do, because I don't have a clue.

and like people were saying make the bow class your alt because you need to equip him and solo and stuff, I think you could just join a zerg group and tag along and you'd be high level in no time anyways.

[Tradesonred]

Right but these zerg groups are gonna dry up eventually. Once i hit 50 on my merc i think im rolling a new toon right away to ride that xp train again before it settles into regular put put xp groups again.

[FoxxHound]

Not cool Gaffin~

[Gaffin 3.0]

Not cool Gaffin~

i tried scrolling up forgot your name, send me another tell

[Dr. Edge]

I can't decide if I should continue with my savage or reroll as something else. Do you think my targeting / lack of melee skills would get better as a hunter, seems like snipping someone would be less button mashing than savage with all the moves and evades- insta buffs.

or maybe I should play a shaman and do support for the melee

[Byrjun]

Exactly what I was thinking.

Got 50 on Healer last night, 30 on my Skald right now sitting in an exp zerg.

You'll find that with any class there is a considerable learning curve once you're out in RVR. You'll need to develop muscle memory for your abilities/skills in PVE where the pace is less brutal. When it comes to PVE, melee tends to be easier (imo) since you don't have to worry about getting interrupted or needing to CC and your skills aren't make or break to a group. Zerker is probably the simplest button mashing out there during the pre-TOA time period. Hardly even have to think about positional or reactionary styles just spam doublefrost.

[Dr. Edge]

I was playing went ld and now can't get back in, are others having this issue?

[Tradesonred]

Yeah you should have seen the zerg in perren lol

Server was crying uncle, hopefully they see all these peeps and decide to upgrade connection or whatevers needed to bring server to next level.

[Nune]

This is pretty much how the server currently acts when the pop gets over 1k. They're working on stability and adjusting to the population. They weren't even expecting 500 people to log in and the server pop was just under 1300 when i logged in and crashed shortly thereafter.

I'm Nune over there, Saracen Scout. I've stumbled across Pitborn, Millburn and Origin in game so far. Holler at me with your name over there and I'll try and get you guys into the BG Zerg xp groups I've been leading lately.

[Tradesonred]

Im Kosmo on albion. I was half a bub from ding 50 when server crashed XD

[Dr. Edge]

ding 40

Think all of si midgard is broke

Zerg exp is getting nerfed: http://daoc-origins.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3864

Just a few more hours and I would have had 2 level 50s. :(

Thats why it had to be nerfed. I have a 50 and wouldnt care if they cap it at 25, nerf xp and take it from there

[Millburn]

I'd be fine if they just removed Fins lol

[Dr. Edge]

Damn, is that why SI froze up? Is it over or nerf inbound soon?

[Byrjun]

Damn, is that why SI froze up? Is it over or nerf inbound soon?

Well, Hibs have already severely out-leveled everyone else and are dominating in RVR due to their fins camp. Hibs are still zerg exping fins at this moment, while the SI spot that Midgard uses to zerg exp has been down for over an hour.

Hibs have had DF all day and are out taking relics (already have Horn of Valhalla). GG zerg exp.

[Dr. Edge]

Well, I'm glad I got lv 40 atleast, now I can quad hit bitches and shit

[Millburn]

46 is the level I'm looking to get before I start doing my casual routine.

[Dr. Edge]

is the whole server down now? I could never get back in after I got booted out of that midgard zerg group in SI

[Etaria]

Yeah, it shows on forums down for about 30 mins, we shall see though.

[davedeck42]

i cannot for the life of me get logged in.. I keep getting stuck at like 95% into loading to the char select screen and then it freezes and i have to escape to exit out. I have the right version of the patcher, the mysql, ive tried patching through the daoc portal.. like everything. Still have the same issue of crashing ~5% from finishing loading char select screen. Any suggestions? Reinstalling the DAOC client for the 3rd time now and then ill reinstall all the subsequent programs.

[Dr. Edge]

rejoined zerg group, folks said exp was the same but I only went a level in about an hour, this afternoon the levels were flying by, did they nerf it of does it slow way down after lv 40?

[Byrjun]

40+ in DAOC is the 54+ of EQ. That's why you get spec points at 40.5, 41.5, etc.

[Pitborn]

Shout out to Nune.. good times last night and good job with that zerg full of tards.

I would keep trying. The server is crashing, a few times, and now they took it down. They also took it down before for 30 mins. It may not be you, and it may be you just are having really bad timing :)

[Millburn]

Milburn in game here, I'm sure we were zerging together today. It seemed like our entire faction was out in Pennine Mountains.

[Scrooge]

Maybe you guys should start posting your Origin ingame names, and make a compilation so you can group up more often.

zerg exp is still great after the fix imho, no one in my group could tell the difference

and I don't know how the loot system works but I'm level 45 now with 12 gold, I think someone is hogging all the coin :-(

[Dr. Edge]

willing to give this a spin. who's gonna carry me to victory!?!

you don't need any help, make a guy join a group and you'll be lv 15 in a few hours, then go to zerg camp and you'll be lv 40 five hours after that at most, lv 40 to 50 is taking longer but its not bad at all, like a lv per hour tops

[Scrooge]

Or you can actually enjoy the pve experience of the game!

Getting 50 isn't everything in this game, if you get there too fast, you won't be able to do anything outside the zergs, cause you won't have any money or any gear for that matter.

[Visual]

too complicated to figure out how to download and get running

two thumbs down

[Nocsucow]

ive been trying to get it running for 3 days now i play on windows XP apparently there is a problem cause my game.log wont write or something ..... very annoying

[Gaffin 3.0]

hey add me in game on gaffin, lets grp up. doing some bg's today

noc, what all have you tried? ill try to help you get it running, what version of xp and bit?

[Gaffin 3.0]

im having a storage server error downloading the news it says right before i get to character select now after reboot, anyone getting the same? seems to be having issues cant get forum to load.

[dreama1]

means server is down.. Been having problems w/ server all weekend

[Gaffin 3.0]

ah ok was leaning towards that, just showed 800 on so wasnt sure. must be from people trying to log in prior

[Dr. Edge]

Just read the zerg xp nerf wasn't included in last nights patch, zergfest continues

[dreama1]

What realm you guys going?

[dreama1]

Just read the zerg xp nerf wasn't included in last nights patch, zergfest continues

he later posted that he didn't patch it properly so dont know when thats going to happen

[Dr. Edge]

ok so zerg xp is nerfed now.

I'm in Mod at the zerg camp and I can no longer find a group, been at it for a long time, do I need to go back to another zone to find one? Like can the whole realm see my /lfg message or only Mod?

also what horse should I take to get back to where people are?
thanks

[Gaffin 3.0]

What realm you guys going?

midgard

[Gaffin 3.0]

hit 30 servers down, xp is slowed down a bit but still good in bg's

[dethbringre]

are they really having to have the XP this boosted? i played and was getting extreme amounts of xp it seemed like.. even solo

[MrSparkle001]

Big problem right now is the server(s). They lag bad and may require frequent lengthy reboots.

[Gaffin 3.0]

damn still down wtf ;p

[Origin]

RIP Origins

[Gaffin 3.0]

lol says eta is 30 mins should be back up soon

[Dr. Edge]

I hear zerg xp coming back after restart of server.

hey Gaffin, what is your signature gif, is that chick giving a handjob or something?

[Visual]

kobold hunter eh eh eh what you think as far as solo ability and pvp viability

save it to your desktop and find out, def not a hangjob lol ;)

[Dr. Edge]

seriously I'm beginning to think this game here is not playable at this time. I ran out to spin to try to get a group to get some gear on my lv 45 savage, everyone said "sorry we need heals", so I tried to solo something and died. Ran all the way back and go link dead while entering the dungeon, so I log back in and I'm smack dab in the middle of the dungeon getting beat down by named mobs. lol

really???


if I reroll I guess I should be a shaman or healer if I want to group

[Scrooge]

Me and a friend will be trying out a healer and a shaman (in Midgard), to see how things work on this server. If anyone else is just starting up in Midgard, let me know your ingame names and what you want to play.

Btw Dredge, you don't need to reroll, communication is key! Try to make some friends.

I have been trying and people just don't respond to tells there. I ask for directions on how to get to the group and nothing.... then people just drop group with out a word, then I finally find the dungeon after about an hour or so of running and I hear

"sorry man we need heals"

lol,
and there was 2 spots open in the group,

so I start /lfg again and nothing, zip ........

ugh, I'm about to rage quit, time to walk away lol

[Gaffin 3.0]

i agree with you, its tedious, if your not a wanted class it is very hard to find a group at times, specially as a shadowblade, im thinking about making a healer alt

[justin2090]

shadowblade is so boss in pvp tho. backstab with twohander!

[Gaffin 3.0]

is what i heard, i just got a nice 2 hander but i had been using slash and left axe for like a zerker combo, stealthing on pvp and backstabbing sounds fun as hell though since i love rogs, i will keep trying to level him when i can

Can't wait to mez dot and cripple u.

[Millburn]

There's a reason why a lot of us didn't start with an undesirable group class as our first toon back to DAoC. My best suggestion would be to find a guild and get in on groups with guildies as they're much more likely to fold you in to their groups.

[Scrooge]

I had some trouble finding a group as a Healer too believe it or not....I dont think people pay much attention to ingame chat if they're on teamspeak with their pals.

But I'm always around for grpin, I'm only lvl 7 atm (name is Jude, mend/aug healer), I'm waiting on a few friends to start up their chars so we can level together, and pvp together in the BGs as well! If anyone here is lvls 5-12, send me a tell and I'll grp with you, or try to get you into a grp if I'm in one. I have way better healing than most lowbie healers, aka 65hp heals which are equivalent of about 60% health for most melees around my lvl.

It can be tough to level up into teens without a decent group/healer, because there aren't any low lvl armor quests on this server like there are on Uthgard, which means that until you hit 10 and are able to go to Nisse's Lair, it'll be tough to find gear - unless ofcourse - you start crafting early on!

[Oleris]

What's the undesirable group class you speak of? Savages are #1 dps I was told

[MrSparkle001]

People want you to be their heal bot. That's pretty much what I think of healers in any game: they're my heal bot while I play the game and kill shit. It might be why I never have and never will play a healer.

Not that it matters because the server is terrible. Not bad with a few hiccups here and there that need fixing, terrible. Midgard is constantly freezing and the server crashes for a half hour at a time. At least they admitted they broke something: "We've tweaked our systems and we've broken something. Were still investigating the causes."

[Dr. Edge]

I think most people are going to quit really soon.
I wouldn't be surprised if they don't quit immediately or next weekend and I don't even mean just the guys that missed out on the zerg exp.
I'm lv 45 and can't find a group or solo or basically have any fun in this game, and
the game is so unstable now.

The xp sucks hard solo. Not to mention everyone is half naked and can't even kill a blue mob on there own now.
It can take hours to find a group and when you finally get there the server crashes, freezes up or they reboot it.
I tried to solo a blue mob in spindelhalla and I was quad hitting it for like 25 points a pop, while it was hitting me for like 250 or something ridiculous. lol

Or I accidentally aggroed a couple blues at the entrance and I couldn't even turn around and exit before they killed me, I dropped that fast.

Maybe I'm bugged or the dungeon is. I admit I'm just learning how to play my Savage but still.

I'm a group player, the fun for me is getting together with others and doing something, if I wanted to solo I would play my my fiancee's Wii or something.

Yes some "a few" people were afk while in the zerg, but others like me were trying to learn their toon while trying to hit every mob a few times and all that. At least that was fun. A lot more fun than standing around /lfg

[Sckrilla]

Man people really need to chill and walk away from the keyboard sometimes. So much bitching and anger about stability issues on a free shard.. play some P99 or find something else to do until the problem is corrected. It's not the end of the world. I have to mute Broadcast chat every time I log in because of all the entitled brats constantly bitching about server situation.

No doubt man, no freaking doubt.

I was actually just thinking about how much P99 has spoiled us. We have a straight up fucking amazing community here, sure there's bad apples but only because it's a relative thing. The only issues we really have from a stability standpoint are DDOS's as well, it's quit amazing the infrastructure and staff we have.

I dunno what it is about Origins, maybe because it's new or something but holy shit the community is so acidic and nasty. I've encountered more assholes in these past couple days than I have in my entire time spent here on P99. It really makes me appreciate what we have here.

With that all said, I'm still loving the ever loving hell out of my Cabby and plan on playing until the foreseeable future.

[Dr. Edge]

i heard the other realms weren't as fubar as Mid, I mean we all had to deal with the server being down but there was a few hours yesterday in Mid were there wasn't a single mob, at least that I could find.

I don't mean to whine or whatever, it's just frustrating, I can't find a group, let alone a guild. How should I go about joining a guild, just blind asking folks "I have never spoken with anyone in your guild before but let me join and find me a group and equipment please"

Before this most recent server crash midgard had 114 people on. That's nothing. It was over 300 two days ago. Not only that, but there were complaints from albion and midgard that their zones were frozen and people were stuck and unable to get in to RvR, while hibernia was fine and capturing keeps left and right. Petty nonsense yes, but it does make people think twice about playing on the server.

The porters may have been broken for everyone. You can use PoC dungeon in the frontiers to change to different realms frontiers. A half group can clear the passages to the other zone lines, a full raid could steamroll through them in no time.

[Millburn]

This shit has been out less than a week with a population more than double what they expected. Chill the hell out and give them time to work it out. Like seriously, it's been released for less than a week. What the hell do you expect out of a free shard?

Shoulda went Albion. That realm has 10% of the realm related problems I see everyone bitching about. And man.. their forums right now are jokes. Broken English is thriving.

They screwed some code up, bad. They even said as much. They were attempting to fix zerg xp and make some performance improvements and screwed something up bad. It's not a population issue because zones freeze and the server crashes even with under 500 players. Someone screwed some code up bad enough that the server is unplayable, and if they don't fix it soon the server will die and people will go back to Uthgard and laugh about it. That's just how it is. It's probably already happening but I don't bother with Uthgard anymore.

[Goobles]

I wish you guys were around for the launch of P99 where the only viable place to get to 50 was SolA, and that was by doing Gnomes because Guk and SolB had TERRIBLE exp. It would take 3 kills to get one blue 'tick'.

Keep an eye on that over the next few days because unless this server issue is fixed that 400 will slowly climb back toward 1.1k, maybe even not slowly.

Well, I found myself late last night longing for eq. It was 4 am, and I was so tired and had been wanting to leave for a few hours, but no clerics were to be had. But I can understand what you are saying about the community. I can care less about the technical issues, that will happen at first of launch and until they iron things out. But the community, at least from my experience so far has been not so great either.

I made an alt cabalist just for the heck of it, never really played a caster class when I did play DAOC... So I reach lvl 3, and got a new spell, and clicked the info. Not even 10 seconds later, a guy yells at me for being afk (wow). So just a bunch of things like that all day- no patience, not much kindness, and ridiculous expectations. And it could very well be I had some bad luck with the people I ran into, as there were a few nice gems in the modge podge of coal.

I think I got my 72 hour thrill out of it, but out of the time I do have to play, doubt I will invest more than 10% of my playing time there. If anything, may just craft there, loved the crafting system there back in the day.

if anyone wants to lvl with me im down, ive kinda lost interest in this, im lvl 30 currently, thinking about lvling a healer alt

[Dr. Edge]

I'm thinking about starting a warrior, but I wanted to be a kobold warrior and it looks like that could be a head ache. I would do it tonight but I have some stuff to do after work. I guess I could do another race :-(

If we got a couple more guys we could jam

[Scrooge]

I had this nasty bug last night, where I couldn't even bring the trainer window up, I worked it out with a clean install+patch. For those people with WinXP, just use the patch and forget about the launcher, it isn't needed to play there.

I've the lvl 7 aug healer in Mid, Jude! Although, I just found out most of my peoples are in Hibernia already, talk about miscommunication prior to playing a new server. But other than that one thing with the trainer window, I haven't had any issues playing in Midgard so far, I'm talking like 2-3 hrs in a row without any hicups whatsoever.

IF you're thinking about rerolling on Mid, make a dwarf/kobold <anyclasshere>! Dwarf Nation!

What Goobles said about P99 launch is correct, all these freeshards that pop up, did NOT have the population they have now, and they weren't as polished as they are now either. You're forgetting some simple truths here, P99 came up in late 2009, and Uthgard in 2005 (or thereabout)!

Uthgard especially...I played it back in 2006-2007, when its top population was 60 at peak times, because alot of things on it weren't working, period, and there were other servers that had shit working already.

It takes time for new servers to mature, it's alot like that with live games also. If they were so perfect on release, there wouldn't be so many patches thereafter! Anyone want to remember what EQ was like on it's release in 1999??

[Dr. Edge]

I keep going back to wanting to roll a warrior but Trolls are so huge and blah looking, and all the other races are at a huge disadvantage strength wise.

[Scrooge]

I keep going back to wanting to roll a warrior but Trolls are so huge and blah looking, and all the other races are at a huge disadvantage strength wise.

Strength isn't everything, sometimes being small and nimble can go a long way! Not to mention most people in RvR will take you for a shaman, at first glance anyway. I used to be a Kobold Skald on a server called Purga, prior to Uthgard, and I was very successful regardless of the lower strength.

If you make a Kobold Warrior, with their naturally higher dex than everyone else, your Shield blocking will be that much better than the next guy's. Especially if you start speccin into Shield right off the bat.

[Scrooge]

So I just found out that most of my Uthgard pals are in Hibernia already and L50s to boot. I was kinda hoping they'd be in Midgard, so much for communication prior to playing!

Is anyone here planning to roll in Hibernia? I was thinking of making a Mentalist (mana regen, health regen, among some other things), it's like a daoc version of EQ Enchanter, to a degree. If anyone wants to play a caster or a bard or druid, or anything really, let me know in this thread, cause I'm thinking of rerolling into Hibernia, cause as it stands right now, I have no friends in Midgard, they're all in Hibernia, and one in Albion.

[Dr. Edge]

I was going to roll a warrior and look ya up, but I was able to find a group right away on my lv 45 sav, so I went with it. Good luck no mater what you chose to do.

[Visual]

Couldn't get the ball rolling on midgard. Lag was killer, npc dialogue is all foreign, groups not avail at off hours, mobs were all spaced out. Had to scour the map to find a single mob my char could defeat.

Going to give hibernia or albernia w/e a shot but my patience is wearing thin at this point.

[Kafter]

If anyone is starting fresh or making alts on mid shoot me a pm. Me and some others are leveling together- shaman, war, skald. We play est time at night.

Too many Hibs, go Albion if anything, although I'm not having any problems in Midgard aside from the zone freezes which they're working on.

[justin2090]

I logged on for an hour this morning. The server was running smoothly and didn't experience any freezing or lag.

It's not even up now for me to see.

[Scrooge]

Well actually...I talked it over with a friend from Uthgard, and I think we'll stick with Midgard for now after all. We had a great group today, got him 1-24, and me 7-24, in about 2 hrs tops. Also got some really good gear along the way! Most of the guys we grped with were all gearless when we started, both of us had not 1 item besides the training sword and shield, a visit to Nisse Lair and Cursed Tombs took care of all that, and now we're fully geared and doing very well. Not to mention, made a few new friends as well.

So, if anyone is rolling Midgard any time soon, you're welcome to join us, it's not too late to catch up as XP can go very fast, especially with a full group for XP bonus. If you can get into mid-teens, we'll make room for you in our groups!

L24 Healer, Jude (my char)
L23 Shaman, Corrosive (my friend)

We'll be having a couple more people I know from Uthgard joining us real soon, so if you want to have a good time playing on that server, and never having to spend hours trying to find a group as long as we're around, let us know here or ingame. Because of the way I specced so far, I have things like POM2 (mana regen for you caster types) & AE Mez/Stuns (for bomb groups), as well as Haste for the melees, and I'll have the first Celerity (short duration super haste) real soon as well!

Wonder how many of those people are just C-blocking afk or @ character select. Wish they would have worked out the kinks before going live.

What's the deal with Uthgaard anyways? ie Why are so many people jumping ship etc. Thinking about moving there if things don't clear up.

[Sckrilla]

Dinged my Runemaster to RR4 farming dem Hibbie baddies (real bad). Wish I saw more Albs out and about but they are apparently more interested in PvE according to the influx of rerolls who deleted their multiple 50s to come to Mid. I forgot how much fun running with a legit 8's team consistently can be. Best MMO experience ever.

Still able to zerg XP to some degree although it seems rather buggy receiving 1400XP and then 21000 for the exact same mobs. Got my Shadowblade to 33 in a little under 4 hours though in an all stealther group minus our Healer.

Love being on Euro times to avoid all this capped pop mess.

[Dr. Edge]

Is that what my screen shot means? that the population is maxed or is my launcher messed up?

[Millburn]

I was having the same exact issue Dr. Edge. I had to use the DAoC Portal launcher instead to get into the game. I don't actually know if my Origins launcher is fixed or not ... should probably check that.

[justin2090]

I wouldn't fret over player cap. They've ordered new hardware and should have the server upgraded within 1 week. I will give it 2 weeks and then it should be smooth sailing from then on out.

I guess they didn't expect 1400+ ppl logged in. I think 350 was what they had planned since the original server cap was 500.

[Scrooge]

One of the GMs posted that they've 5600+ accounts registered already (also confirmed by the screenie above), no wonder the server was so unstable the first several days or so. Another reason why so many people from Uthgard migrated to Origins, is cause as old as Uthgard is, it's still not complete, and they kept promising the old RA system and SI content for years without much to show for it. I guess everyone got fed up with waiting for the day that'll never come.

yep, I installed the portal and things got better right away.

got in a group in spindelhalla for about an hour and my dude went from naked to a full suit and all bags full of gear.

what do I do with this stuff that I can't use just vendor it all or give it away?

[Scrooge]

It would've been true if you had put Kunark in there too, because it took way too long (3 years after server went up) for it to release on P99 as well!

Put it in your vault. There's a vault keeper in GNA Faste near Spindelhalla. Actually if you can save some chain gear for me and my shaman friend, as well as any accessories with piety/dex/hits/power bonuses on them, would appreciate it!

We basically went 1-25 in 3-4 hrs of xpin with a decent group, especially once I got POM2 and 2 pbaoe casters in our group, we were chain killing moderately sized pulls of red-grape+ mobs, taking them all down in under 10 seconds. But I have to wait for a couple more players to join us. If you want to try another class like a caster or something, Suppression Spiritmaster (pbaoe) or Runemaster (PBT) would go a long way with our group! If we can find 2-3 pbaoe bombers to roll/group with us regularly, we'll have a blast in RvR with my 9 second AE stuns on top of the AE mezzes.

[dreama1]

note to anyone starting .. if you want to level up fast pick a PbAE'r / Healer / bard-type or tank.. First time playing DAOC and it seems melee are useless for leveling

[justin2090]

Melee become more useful if you have a aug shaman and cleric. 4 zerker/savage/shadowblade 1 skald 1 warrior 1 aug healer and 1 aug shaman would be a pimp ass group. Healer would make you swing faster while the shaman adds dmg to every swing.

Also melee lands easily on purps so you could chain pull them. Probably < 10secs a kill.

[MrSparkle001]

From Uthgard:

All of these problems have led to the situation we're in: Our population is back to where it was years ago. The player count is dropping day by day and there isn't really anything good we could tell you about this. We want to get these things straight now. That's why we have decided to shut down the server until we have worked this out. We do not want to offer an incomplete server any longer. We want to focus on all of the current problems as fast as possible, which is not possible with a running server that needs to be supported.

There have been many suggestions from the community about how to solve the problems mentioned above. Unfortunately there is no easy way to get to more balanced and consistent structures in the game. We have tried to find solutions in the past and they have all failed. In order to offer a good DAoC experience in the future, we have come to the conclusion that the best thing for the server is a fresh start. You can trust us that this is a once in a lifetime occurrence and its not easy for us. We know it is hard for all of you, our loyal players, and we feel with you! However nobody wants an empty server. Newcomers must be included into the community and they must have the feeling to stand a chance. For DAoC to work, a crowded server is important. We will focus on missing features to be in good shape for a big comeback. After this we will see which alliances, guilds or players will spread the most fear among their enemies!

The Uthgard game server will be closed on Monday, January 27th, at 01:00 CET and we will start a major revamp. We can't give you any estimated date when the server will be back online, because we don't know. We will announce on Facebook and will send e-mails to forum and game users when the server is ready. Our goal remains delivering the highest quality pre-ToA, pre-NF, classic DAoC gameplay for you.

Kind regards,
Your Uthgard Staff

Wow. They're shutting down the server, supposedly fixing the things that they've ignored for years, and when it comes back it will be completely wiped.

So basically Origins launched last week, Uthgard's population plummeted, players told them why they're moving to Origins, and they decide to shut down the server and wipe it if and when it comes back.

In other words, they had no competition for all this time and so didn't give a shit, and now that they have competition they see they're fucked.

[Visual]

That's great news for someone just getting into the game :)

Hopefully a fresh stable server will come out of this

[MrSparkle001]

Origins registration is disabled right now too. Imagine if it wasn't, their current server would melt. I think they're installing a second server this weekend.

[Sckrilla]

"We haven't even tried to cut the new server in. The Majority of our Staff have been sleeping after the install. It will be cut in SOON.

Now you are about to get the most definition of SOON you will EVER get from Staff... For this event, soon will be more than one day and less than one week. For other types of events SOON could mean a few minutes or a few months."

I'm done with that shit show. I'll check back in a few months to see if they've done anything about the massive oversights. I RvR'd for about 2 hours the other night and hit RR 2L5.

Unless Uthgard relaunches with SI, there's no chance in hell it will overtake Origins. Uthgard was a huge pile of shit with half of it's content broken. Origins is legit minus a few tweeks here and there and of course, the server stability issue which is/will be worked out in the upcoming week or two.

Anyone who played ESO beta(s) should know how much work that games still needs in order to be viable.

It's fine, it's fun and there's not a lot that needs to be done.

[Oleris]

they are going back to a previous code to fix the lag. It must be hard to test stuff out without having a test server. Should be up soon

[dreama1]

Hopefully they roll back to zerg xp. the server went downhill as soon as they took it out.. coincidence ? maybe..

PbAE groups seem to be the majority of groups on hib, so if you're not a healer / tank / pbae'r it will be hard to lvl..

Yea it was a big mistake not to wipe. Not as dramatic as some people portray it to be, but a good week behind for some people.

[dreama1]

Doesn't make any sense why zerg xp was removed. there is no pve.. nothing starts until 50

[Dr. Edge]

is everyone having issues still or just me?
Last night I logged on just to get stuck in Jord for a few hours, today I can't get past char select screen

[dreama1]

dr edge you ask the same question like every day.. It's not just you

[Zadrian]

Tried registering last night for about 3 hours and they didn't let me. From the sounds of it - this thing is currently un playable. I will give it a shot when even logging in is not going to be a huge obstacle.

[dreama1]

registration is temporarily closed

[Dr. Edge]

I just read zerg xp is coming back tonight?????????


Can any one confirm this please? I might pull a all nighter ;-)

[Rhambuk]

downloaded and couldn't log in, was asking for a login and when i went to registered it took me to mythical's webpage asking for credit card information. im guessing this emulator would be free?

[dreama1]

they reopened registration ..

http://daoc-origins.net/forum/ go to register .. then once you log in click the game account and you choose username/pw for logging in to the game + realm

[dreama1]

The zerg xp was on shortly but the server went down and then when it came back up i think it was gone.. the server still down so can't check

[Pitborn]

Make sure you use DAOC Portal to log on.. sounds like you were trying to access the actual P2P Game.

yeah i wasn't 100% i went to the site downloaded their client and only had the normal patcher to log on so it immediately asked for account info. Ill try this tomorrow thanks!

server is generating a lot of buzz. could be on the cusp of something big

[Dr. Edge]

http://daoc-origins.net/download/

Download the game,
Let it patch,
When it asks to set up account close the window.

Then download the origins patch and run it.
Then download and run the origins launcher.
Register account at origins site.


Then download the game portal thing and log in.

[Pitborn]

I'm telling you, don't use the Origins Launcher, use DAOC portal instead.

Cheers.

[Ceelow]

I'm telling you, don't use the Origins Launcher, use DAOC portal instead.

Cheers.

whats the difference?

[Dr. Edge]

I use both, sometimes one doesn't work but the other one will

[Millburn]

The Origins launcher won't work if their web servers are down. A lot of times it's been that their website has been down with game servers being up and the only way to connect while that's true is through the Portal launcher instead.

[Ceelow]

what realm are you guys

[Scrooge]

realm: Midgard, guild: Fury, char: Jude L26 Dwarf Healer / Hairy L2 Dwarf Runemaster

Trying to keep guild specifically for midgets; kobolds and dwarves.

Published 25 January 2014 | By Cody
01:00 CET on Saturday, 25 January: Our second server is being installed! This is VERY good news. Of course installation is only the begining, we have to do a LOT of work before we can get our two servers working together but that’s a high priority task for the team. We expect to get this system into service SOON (more than one day, lass than 1 week).

This new server is a BEAST! THIS HIGH PERFORMANCE DEDICATED SERVER HAS:
6 CORES, 12 THREADS | 64 GB RAM MEMORY | 2 x 120 GB SSD

A VERY GOOD SYSTEM FOR VIRTUALISATION AND DATABASES

We can’t thank you, our testers, players, partners and donors enough. We are deeply grateful (and somewhat amazed) at how quickly you donated enough funds for us to resolve our Launch week Stability issues.

[Tradesonred]

Someone post plz once they get this thing working again

[Tradesonred]

Im on albion, alot of people from the rerolled gaming forum rolled albion

[FoxxHound]

Is server up atm? I can't seem to log in

[Dr. Edge]

[Sckrilla]

So anyone want to update me on what's going on with Origins ATM without having to wad through all the garbage that is seemingly even worse than P99 RNF?

How long has the server been down now? Been working all weekend.. ;(

[MrSparkle001]

There are reports from a game master of DDOS and EA contacting them. No updates on what actually is going on. Some speculate DDOS took the server down. Some speculate the admins took it down to transfer database to their new server. Some speculate that EA wants to shut them down, and the fact that the main webpage has changed is fueling that theory.

Nobody really knows.

[Nune]

EA DID contact them, the extent of it is unknown. Likely, it's because they called the server Origins which was originally going to be a live server, but considering in 1 week's worth of donations they went and splurged on an uber server, I'm thinking theres a notable paper trail that will work against them defending this as a "just free" server.

Like I said, I'll check back in 2 months or so and see where this is at. Those forums are where angry broken english goes to thrive, clearly European people who play DAoC are fucking morans, just a waste of time trying to do anything regarding that server as a whiole atm

[Sckrilla]

Hahaha... neeeeaaattt! Yeah I could see a copyright infringement there considering it's still archived on the Herald as Origins being an original launch title. This shall prove interesting. I thought the servers (website for me also) were down due to the installation of the second server.

[Ceelow]

the only thing that will become of this is only a better more stable server, mark my words!

[Scrooge]

I hope this server doesn't disappear, I mean, P99/Uthgard have been around for quite a long time already. I'd find it really hard to believe SOE/EA had no idea about either one.

As for people wondering why it might be taken down by EA/Mythic, here's a bit of info on that subject; Daoc Origins was a project on live to make a pre-TOA classic server, but without newer expansions like Catacombs for instance...but alas it never happened.

On June 2nd, 2008, Mythic announced on the Camelot Herald the Origins project and revealed their plan:

“This server is designed to return DAOC to the great game experience it was in 2001/2002, while also applying wisdom from the lessons we have learned since then. DAOC is still a great game, but this server has its own appeal that we ‘old school’ players really enjoyed, and our goal is to get back to that while also continuing to support the other rulesets. Origins will not exactly replicate the game as it was is 2001; we are keeping as a part of server the ‘best features’ we have put into the game since launch, such as housing, horses, the market explorer, UI changes (to name only a few) and many of the improved systems introduced over the years.”

The announcement also goes on to lay out their timeframe for the project:

“The most common question continues to be, “Is this really going to happen?”

Origins has been in development for a couple of months now. We have been working with our Team Leads (as part of the Team Lead program) to work through the various gameplay details, ideas, and issues, while also collecting and reading your feedback. Our schedule requires around four to five months of development. This means that since the server has been in development for two months already, we still have another two to three months before it’s ready for primetime. Right now, launch is slated for the August/September timeframe.”

change the name to orijen, like my dog's food

[Tradesonred]

good intentions are there but they make some pretty questionable decisions... no wipe with people like me who dont even know the game that got in 2 50s in 3 days before they locked down the xp.

Now taking down the server from Friday to Sunday...

[Scrooge]

Latest news from the front page:

Old Server is down, new server is ALMOST in service!
Published 26 January 2014 | By Cody

The server is down at the moment due to two factors. We have had an error that the staff needs to fix before we come back up. We have our very best people working on it. AND, there is the rub. Our very best people SHOULD be working on cutting over to the new system. Therefore, we’re using this downtime to do a bit of both, bug fixes and new system cut over. That WILL extend the downtime a bit but we’ll come back up in a MUCH stronger state.

We’re sorry for the disruption, but it’s in a worthy cause… to provide the best service ever in the DAoC Dawn of Light universe.

RIP Runescape

Told my buddy that last night. Even with the exp fix, We are ~ level 25 and don't know jack shit about the game. All we know is pull mobs to the animist

Soooooo.... what ever happened to this? I'm assuming it never released, but did they ever state why? It's obvious from the turnout of Origins 2.0 that the demand is definitely there, and this is 6 years after that announcement?

Now taking down the server from Friday to Sunday...
The server has been down this entire weekend for 2nd server installation??

[Dr. Edge]

I wouldnt say that, I managed to play for about 4 hours yesterday/last night, had some lag though

[Scrooge]

The project was scrapped over time, despite there being a big demand for it, hence why this server's name alone is reminiscent of the promises of the original.

It does suck that they didn't wipe the server, after addressing the buggy xp as well as named raid mobs. It created quite a gap between players who started early and got easy levels and easy gear, and those who started late and won't have similar gear for a long time.

Mobs like the Dragons, those in Tuscarian Glacier, and even Yar, shouldn't be done so easy by a small group. Then a few days later they make those mobs much tougher, and let the players who got in on the easy loot slide.

It wouldn't be such a big deal on a PvE server, but it IS a big deal on a RvR server.

[Millburn]

Well they did do the right thing by retroactively nerfing all the SH gear that people had gotten.

I picked up a couple 17 dps weapons out of that place and a staff with 50 all focus and like 30 int it was stupid OP for the time. I'm glad that when they removed the zone they went through and broke all the items that dropped there too.

In the item descriptions they even ask you to vendor them, screw that though I got my hands on some server uniques!

I wish they'd do that for all the broken mobs that were being taken advantage of, for easy epic end-game loot as well.

Yeeeaaahhhh....

I may or may not have a bank filled with 100% quality items and some dragon loot I found off a few mobs in Dartmoore that a matter cabby just so happens to be able to solo.
