So every throwaway daoc server is the same

Seems certain players abuse long standing bugs and nothing ever happens to them and it can be a gamebreaking event for many people. I see it happening more and more with each server.

Let me give you an example, im a MID Runemaster , I start running toward MMG in Hibernia, I see an avalonian running around behind the trees solo, obviously bait but I figure 1v1 pure caster I at least have a chance. I run behind the trees he is nowhere to be found, I start running to the milegate to join the others going to feed the alb zerg and I get rooted with their little ice root.

I turn around there he is, he is so far away nearsight wont even cast ( 2700 range )

I start spamming my bolt and he is too far away, I see him ghost forward and jump and I see his bolt start flying toward me, all while spamming mine.

The first hits and he moves forward again, and theres the second bolt. His name was Spell and he is a fire wizard.

1 Staff member could literally sit in hib and ban people dragging all day long and after a while it would really help, albs drag mez from hilarious ranges and it really influences RVR

After 2 days of RVR all I see is mids giving up because the mez is out of control , I have also made a mistake going mid in the first place because it seems all the garbage players rolled mid

I should have seen as I was leveling the lack of participation from all players invited, people want to join and just go afk because no one wanted to level

Any plans to do a /level 20 or maybe even /level40 for people who want to switch realms? id go hib if I could now.

I remember our 1v1 fight. I'm a earth wizard with red Nearsight, not Fire wiz. I nearsighted you, 309 earth (Matter) bolt and 239 baseline fire bolt and you hit the dirt and I got like 1049 RPs.

There was zero cheating.

I was a Wizard Team Lead for DAOC since 2006, DAOC Knight Program until 2014 when I volunteered to step down due to inactivity but Mythic willing to take me back anytime. Been playing Wizard since 2001 just fine and if you wanna try to lose any cred I have, sorry. I have people PMing me laughing at you. I'm sorry if you don't like how the fight turned out to you, but take a look at your internet connection if you felt I was 2700 units away... or you have a bad judgement call.

FYI you wouldn't have beat me 1v1 anyway.

Edit: Why title the post window dragging and jump casting when nothing to do with our fight? People aint window dragging with their i7-8700k and 1080+cards. They use jump to stop and /face to start casting ASAP. Not trying to abuse anything.

/cheers

I played against Spell when I was on Hib/Tristan and he just happens to be a VERY good player. He is/was one of the best Wizard players in the game back then. Don't be mad just because you lost.

OP, nice nastalgia post from back in the day! Well done joke post, reminding everyone of the kids that used to get wrecked in RvR and go crying to the VN boards. Clearly OP didn’t mean to be taken seriously

It is inherently impossible to be good in daoc by playing a wiz

We do enforce the rules. If you find suspicious behavior in the game, use the appeal command to report it to the gamemasters.
