I have been playing DAoC on and off since 6 months after the original release, so I like to think I have a good grasp of the gameplay experience.
#1 Allow Bards to play more than one song. There's no reason to make hibs have to run endo pots on every class just to roam the frontier. Bards are never going to constantly twist multiple songs.
#2 Give Bards their second insta DD back. You took a really useful tool away for interrupting (which is one of the main jobs of a bard). The logic doesn't make sense as to why Skalds and Minstrels retained both.
#3 Lower the cast time on cure nearsight and make it easier to spec. It's more difficult to make RvR groups because you have must have specific specs covered in order to cover the required highest spec buffs and make sure you have cure nearsight. Every druid, cleric, and healer should be able to cure nearsight no matter their spec. Hell, even friars, shaman, and wardens should be able to cure nearsight to make it easier to fit them in groups.
#4 Add group cure disease and put it on a 6 second cast time and 1000 radius around the caster
#5 Reduce duration of nearsight and diseases to 1 minute. 2.5 minutes is way over kill and totally unnecessary. This would speed up gameplay slightly and make it more enjoyable for soloers / stealthers.
#6 Give Wardens their shield spec back, and/or celerity. Once again would make them more desirable, and would give hib tank groups the assistance they need. Most people run heat debuff trains because it's by far the most effective tool for killing. You would offer more variety.
#7 Give everyone mounts for every zone other than frontiers, or just automatically have them move at speed 5/6 when out of combat.
A lot of this is angled towards Hib as you could probably tell, but it's because they need some assistance, it's no wonder they're consistently underpopulated.
I may compile another list later, but I think these would be really beneficial for an overall more enjoyable Camelot experience
Sincerely,
A guy that has played every realm for years, and currently plays a Savage, Shaman, and Runemaster
