Killing a yellow/oj minstrel pet is so hard too!

SM pets/bd pets take a little more work than a hunter pet. The player/GROUP of players that you were trying to escape from can follow their pet to you. Also, you could get unstealthed and have to fight that sm pet at a bad time when there's a fg around. It's not just the inconvenience of killing a pet.

It's also worth to note that a decent group with a leader will often say don't bother destealthing 1 stealther (unless there is 0 action or it's someone they hate).

I've been in far to many ****** groups where people run off after 1 person, or stop to look for a stealther, just as an enemy fg hits you from the side. What goes around comes back around

Thank you for the update. It gives us players a hope that you soon will be up and running. However, my concern at the moment is this.... At the point you re-open the servers 1 month or 1.5 years from now. Do you think your efforts will be lost due to the fact Camelot Unchained (assuming it releases near eta date) will affect server population. I ask this because I feel those playing DAOC for a number of years will be drawn toward that game vs playing Uthgard. My fear is that you will open and shortly after Unchained will come out with people not invested time into server thus making it an easy change from one game to another due to not having much time played.
I look forward to the server opening as I have played Genesis, but have stopped due to mico-managing and them wreaking DAOC for me. I hope things are going well, and look forward to play on Uthgard once again!
Cheers

Sure Camelot Unchained will definitely appeal to the majority of DAOC players. However, CU and DAOC will be very different games. CU is not going to be a DAOC replacement, for one there is no PVE aspect as you might imagine it. Of course it is based in Arthurian times etc, so the story may be similar.

I expect a slight percentage drop when CU is released, and after a few weeks people will starting coming back after realizing it isn't daoc 2.0. This has been the same with other game releases in the past, but that is just the expected.

Could not type it better than that.. especially this part..

CU took the DAoC RvR, gutted it and added in all sorts of new races, classes, skills and simplified it down into an arena based PvP game. It isn't DAoC, not even close. Sort of like how Planetside 2 is not Planetside 1, too much had changed and been redesigned that it hardly resembled itself anymore. It may have some familiarities like names of classes and some design and art throw backs, but it will not be DAoC.

thats how I see it as well, it might still be a good game in its own right though, focussing on the RvR aspect .. so far I am not too keen on the look of the races tho

cheers

Eugh. The craving intensifies. Can't wait for this server to come back to life >.<

Are we getting another Grab Bag this week Trishin?

thats totally not CU you are talking about, the only truth in that stateent is that it will not be DAoC, but cu will definately not be an Arena based PvP game. Im pretty sure in CU we will see the largest open RvR zone that we have ever seen in an MMO.

i haven't played CU. worth playing?
