Is there any reason behind this? Minstrel charm was always spammable on live.

There is not much of classic daoc left. I read another news about speed breaking mechanics completly customized and changed...
Whats next?
I Respect other people are liking those changes. Just want to add my view to it, i am not sure if i will play that Server for a long period or at all with those setting.

I don't expect 200 pop 3 months after launch.

Prophet of doom spotted! (I too think there is too much customization on the classes and mechanics *but* their additions to make the game more friendly are really good). I think you're wrong, I see a steady 800+ pop average over the year after release.

And I said the same thing about Uthgard when it was beta cause of their dumb choices.....
And they had 53 players online.... down from several thousand 2 years ago.

If your opponent is also buffed, then can't he get to you faster, thus nullifying your buff? Don't the buffs cancel each other out?Armsmancer wrote: ↑Thu 6 Sep 2018 10:50 PMGanaka wrote: ↑Thu 6 Sep 2018 10:37 PMWhat is the point of buffs if everyone is buffed?

In RvR it changes lots of things like cast time so may blow up a dude before he can get to you, and melee well dragonfang is gonna go off more often with higher reactionaries from having more stats
In PvE obviously better to have for every reason out there to make it faster
Can't speak for staff but there's no good reason to expect players coming to the server beta or launch expecting anything other than pots that have been on every server ever, not a hill to die on here it isn't going to be taken out is my bet which I feel is pretty well established, everything aside from anecdotals here are for it, players want an edge in pve and lets be real, the cost to get alch up a bit is a joke, especially since the lv 10 pots scale and you don't have to make lv 20/30/40 versions separately for statbuffs. There's no barrier to entry so just like for all other factors you could expect everyone will have them because its cheap and easy, so again power level remaining the same what does it matter to argue about it. Its not 300str dudes smacking 100str dudes, there's no super fast cast times like TOA stuff clearly shifting the scales, this is just people complaining about mountains when its molehills.
warden50 wrote: ↑Fri 7 Sep 2018 1:20 PMThe problems of buff pots and endo pots is that it kills self buffing classes. Why would you play a champion when a hero can hit harder with pots. Why would you play a friar when a MA hits harder with pots ? Warden also relies a lot on Killing solo non buffed class. If they hit slower the pulse BT will Block more of them. Etc etc....
Armsmancer wrote: ↑Thu 6 Sep 2018 11:50 PMI mean like a caster with some pot buffs will cast a bit faster and can cc you easier than in the case where he didn't have pots you may have been able to close the gap to DD him or something before he got off a mez, etc. Wouldn't matter much in that case if the melee had buffs since you're getting kited by that point. There's tons of these what ifs and this or that scenario but these are the cases where it would affect rvr in ways that wouldn't be there if there was no alchemy pots in the game. Hardly game breaking or a mountain and is just a molehill because these are small 1v1 cases where you can actually notice the pots making a bigger difference and most of the action you see in deathspam is lots of deaths at once and a few here and there, so most is zerg and groups fighting where pots aren't tipping any scales here, so it simply isn't big on what chunk of rvr it is effecting.

Second, you don't need to do pve at all or maybe 1h per week to afford beeing fully buffed whenever you enter a pvp zone.
So just become more efficient while you are logged in and you will be fine.

I heard there's like an economy or something, maybe if you can even trade things of value for their things of value. I dunno man its way over my head. I'm with you though we should just have it all handed to us or at least cater mostly to my playstyle.
