We did answer your question and discussed the fact that buff classes are some of the strongest classes in the game and mythic introduced Charges and Potions for potential balance. buff classes are strong at what? cetainly not dueling or soloing(<---watch, you will argue this)...except maybe a friar or warden....so tell me....would you be satisfied if only base buff potions were available and not specs?(<---and not answer this), na you gotta have it all right? No offense, newguy, but who was your main on uthgard?

Or play against a group like that? I have. Absolute devastation. The group that runs up against them can't kill them fast enough because smite clerics have sooooooo many tools at their disposal combined with decent ranged damage with 8 of them dudes doing it!

OTOH, if they want a non butt buddy who can test things and point out what is not working they can use me. https://www.uthgard.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=37632 Players can greatly contribute to a server if you let them. Uthgard, still the best server. Thanks, Devs.

Warden, Friar, Hunter, Ranger, Druid/Cleric, Shaman, and even Bard are all tough if spec'd for solo. My guildy made a solo spec Druid and was very tough. I've seen Celteen and Nayeh both play a bard solo and do just fine. A warden/friar are some of the toughest solo classes out there. I personally played ranger/hunter and both did AWESOME in solo fights. I believe it would be easier for you to explain to me which self buff classes you think stink at soloing? Its all in how you spec and play. I'm actually a lil confused as to what exactly you are asking the GM's to do? They will not remove potions or charges. Why? Because they are in classic 1.65 settings. I hate to keep using that same reasoning, but its 100% true.

This would be great. No SC server would be real old school, going back to important one time drops and such. I doubt it would go over well though with most people. There will be a group of people out there who will want this realm to be entirely Mythic-like. Exactly like vanilla, drop rates/xp rates, basically everything and you will not be able to please them unless it is exactly like vanilla. These people have their nostalgia goggles on so tight it's cutting off the bloodflow to their brain and they believe that vanilla was perfect and nothing was wrong with it.

I wouldn't mind at all if they scaled back buffs but saying buff classes can't solo leads me to believe you haven't spent much time in Emain on Uthgard.

No SC would indeed make pve and farming boss encounters (dragon etc.) worthwhile again... and not everyone being perfect equiped would also make rvr more interesting IMO. On the other hand it would make the pve grind to be good equiped a LOT longer. Hm, I think I would like a no SC and alchi setting, we could get rid of all the buffpots and charge discussion as well. But I think its not gonna happen here. Blue Sunday I-VII \| UFC 2vs2 Event

As good as all this sounds, first of all the patch aim is 1.65, where we have sc and alchemy... and without those it'll be a ****** for people to get decent equipment for rvr.... I remember how it was pre spellcraft, and let me tell you, its not fun having crap resists when you fight some caster ;o - Honey Badgers - Winkz

I remember how it was pre spellcraft, and let me tell you, its not fun having crap resists when you fight some caster ;o Not arguing for or against....but... Epic armor quests, DF diamond items, and end game raids You can get a pretty decent template with those items. It does encourage more endgame PvE (so does farming hulks for diamonds for cash to purchase a template I guess?) ...and yeah fighting a caster with low resists isn't fun, but the same can be said against a melee. DAoC has always had a power teeter-totter between tanks and casters. I wouldn't mind not having to worry about SC'ing, but I don't care either way. Buzzkill - 50 Savage
