Hi all, just wanted to share what I witnessed today.

Have a level 21 cleric, said lfg in/as...searched the tool, nothing.

Then I /who necro, I send them tells,

first guy says I have to give him 100% loot and coin(he was lvl 20 mind you) I tell him he can kill twice as fast with full buffs and stun on inc, but ok "its beta, sure you can have all" he never invs...

Second one says "no im sight" and I said yes that's good. No inv...

3rd tells me to wait for him to solo to reach my lvl (21) he was 20

My question is this..would they all rather just solo? Or are they newer players/nobs and not know that sight necro with full buffs and stun can effectively chain pull theoretically (and if the proper camp allowed) until the cleric went oom from stun. and then p transfer? rambling now..

but what gives?

Well, you can't really force people to group up. Sometimes it just doesn't happen.
Certainly you managed to find out all the biggest jerks, all in the same moment! (100% loot and coin? EXCUSE ME?!? )

just look for a guild,mate.
you will get invited. you will find groups. you will be loved. you will probably love them back.

Sometimes I solo when I should group simply because I'm not 100% paying attention to the game and I don't want to invite you when I'm going to wander away from the PC every 10-20 mins.

The real problem come from the bugged xp in group atm. Since it's better to solo/duo than doing a 8man group, people prefer to have DPS rather than a heal/support class.

For a necro, a duo with Theu or a wiz would be far superior than having a cleric. Same for a pally who prefer another melee dps. etc...

Things will be back to normal when that XP bug will be fix. Hopefully

my 2 cents,
i made a duo yesterday evening for no reason, just for it. First pull, first /rel, then disband. it reminded me long time ago when mistakes or just bad luck was not allowed. sad !
people should stop trying to overperform all time, just play for fun, and don't forget than dying happens, that's not a crime to fail a pull.

Sometimes I join a group just to pull and wipe them. And then I leave

Think that people (at least at low levels) want to try the classes (uncertain which class to choose, want to try out which class is strong or weak)... and are less interested to actually xp to 50. That's why many want to xp solo and are not so much interested in grouping atm.

Tasking to 20 is more efficient since you dont need to organise a grp and keep it going. It is almost impossible to make a proper grp at low lvls due to the lvl clamp.
From 20on you can start thinking about groups and it will be more efficient than solo for most classes.

I actually joined Tacoss group last night (lvl 1-6+). It was more fun than I can describe. I died like 5 or 6 times trying to peel off our casters or healers. We'd accidentally pull a purple casting Sprite or something, and then he'd bug and start insta casting all of us to death HAHA!!!

That was the most fun I've had in a game in a long time.
If I were a Necro, I'd invite an enhance cleric without a doubt.
Whether I was servant, sight, or pain spec... Clerics make Necros into PVE Gods.

Sight casts soooo slow at low lvls. Buffs are near mandatory for my sanity. But if the cleric is actively stunning? That's a REALLY good player. Most would afk for the ride, but xp would still probably rock with buffs.

Servant needs AF and heals (for mass pulling).

And pain... is just painful no matter what.


Not everyone is like those suckers. Why even join a 500-2000 player server just to solo.
I'd be rolling a necro first if the server was small. Or if they allowed buff bots.
But that's not the case.
Run in 1 direction, and you'll see a player almost every 20 seconds. It's great.
The game has never been so alive and rewarding.

You'll run into a lot less of that nonsense if you get yourself a solid guild to join, especially if they're in a decent alliance.

Our guild is in SERIOUS need for clerics, Minstrels and Sorcs... sooooo, yeah.

This is the life of a support who has to PUG in DAoC. We are masters of /who. We play Dark Age of /who-alot.

If you don't have a set group to run with, then this is the type of thing that will keep happening.

DAoC with 7 other people to play with is the greatest game to play, however without a set group it is without a doubt the worst and most boring game in existence.

Or you can always join a zerg guild and just "pug" within the guild until you find some regular players to group with.

Yes I'm working on trying to get some of my friends/family to play again. However all so far have expressed little interest and those that expressed a little just tell me to let them know when the server launches and then they'll consider it.
