I often mention DAOC in threads like this because from day 1 RvR (their version of WvW) goal is clear, same as
benefits and shortcomings of stealing enemy relic.
Each of 3 sides had 1 melee and 1 caster relic, that would increase your side melee or caster damage by 10% (both in PVE and PVP)
However, the more relics you had, the harder it got to keep them...you had to defend more relic keeps, and your guards would become
easier to kill and generally weaker.
Also, your relics were held in astonishingly hard relic keeps, while enemy relics were kept in much weaker ordinary keeps.
Also, I liked how mythic handled things...my side once built 20 rams (SOS style) and took relic very fast, next day Mythic
put cap on that allowing only 3 rams (operating and making rams was much harder than in GW2)
-
There is even video of how to implement those ideas

Be like me, embrace the game as it is.
After 20y I realized there will be no new DAOC, or even
WHO...not even by Mark Jacobs

https://youtube.com/watch?v=QQOnytfgDZ0&si=0EwMUvfDdQk_lq2l one can dream of the old days of cc though 😢
Looking that video, I miss DAOC even more...it was great idea to make most of melee CC positional, with best ones available
once enemy turn his back to you

Would be a good idea if you learn other class's skills.
Wall pull skills are limited to 5.So out of our 30 strong squad, we actually only need 2 people to pull 10?
I will tell guys so we next time only bring 2 instead 5

how can people even enjoy this?
There is no reason to play MMOs otherwise

In any case I now realize this is either FA or BG bragging about farming Mag in SMC.
FA is farming you too?
BTW, if we can pull 10 players in 1 pull on outer wall, can you imagine numbers inside?

If you lost everything else to just gain bags, you were outplayed, by just going for bags, you ktrain. Sorry you don't get it, just means in DaoC you were also just outplayed. Were you one of those WAR peeps that declared victory as your city was under Assault? If you don't kill and hold, you were outplayed. I guess gratz you fooled yourself into losing.
Claire, is that you? Sorry that two of us don't have same idea what is considered fun and win...I'll stick to mine.
WAR? Win is that I can make Sacrx rage over our fights just by posting few sshots

Oh so a 30 boon ball group that had problems with oils and ac's farming 10 pugs.
🤭
Do you have problem with reading? It was 80 people inside SMC vs 30 of us...and show me where I mentioned "problems with oils and ac's"
Quite the contrary, I called them "honey pots", hence my 300 kills and 0 deaths

Bet they run around in a group of 10 comp trying to gank pugs and roamers. 🤭
All the other pvp mmos died cause they required a sub. 🤔
🤷♂️
Lost bet, its actually 30...that server pugs say here their pugs can farm other comp groups even
when outnumbered 2:1, but that seems not hold the truth...but whatever, this is not
DAOC where you get bad rep for adding onto other people fights

K-trains are not new.
Ktrains usually take objects, we just go for kills...for example, just 2-3h ago we destroyed wall of Ogrewatch, just to lure defenders, but didn't take it
Then we proceeded to SMC, and just pulled people off the wall.
0 deaths, 300 kills, almost DAOC RvR kind of fun (although that's theoretically impossible)

Among most other things, DAOC had perfect solution for that, too...after CC, you had double long duration immunity, but only to same type of CC...
so after you removed 11s stun stun, you were immune for 22s, but you still could be rooted or mezzed
Fun fact: those for GW2 standards enormous 11s DAOC stuns were less annoying than GW2 short ones

Giving attackers upper hand at towers/keeps. It makes it more dynamic, I exclusively play attacking and never defend.
Its a bit repeating, but pulling 10+ players over and over is still fun, and since many people like to stick to oil and ACs
(which actually serve as honeypots to us attackers) everyone's happy I guess
Its a bit counterintuitive, but since all other pvp MMOs died, it actually proves Anet did it right

This was much longer lasting (and more fun) small scale action

Pretty certain that an X3D will always match or beat its regular version but most of the improvement as above is probably gonna be the significantly faster 5000 series vs the 3000 series to begin with. If you got AM4, less than 5000 series and your mobo support the 5800X3D, its in a "dont kitten ask just upgrade" category because there is no other upgrade.
I have 5600x
Asking original question because games seem to fit in 2 categories, ones that favor
higher 5800x frequencies and other that favor 5800x3d massive cache
-
Did anyone tried (or saw somewhere online) what gives better framerate in wvw, high frequency (ordinary
Ryzens) or 3d cache (X3D Ryzens)

I'm using DX11 since it was first introduced, and except few minor visual glitches, didn't have much problems.
However, since around 2 months ago, game started crashing pretty often, with logs like these;

Crashed at 09:10:16ZIf I have to turn off something, I will, just need ideas if someone else had similar problem and solved it.
Windows 10, radeon 6600XT, and -repair already tried
Edit: switched back to dx9, and crashed immediately, so maybe its not even dx11 related

...wrong thread, edited

I agree with OP, and whenever issue is brought up, its best to see video of game that did it proper way, to the point
of actually calculating physics and (for example) defending archers having much bigger range than attacking ones
-
I like that they added this 400%+ wxp inflation to game, so we casual players can catch rank of veteran players faster
-
Main problem is Anet definition of "winning"...if you set goal of not dropping from tier, you'll always get two stronger servers gang up on weakest one.
Anet copied idea of 3 instead 2 teams/sides from another MMO, the best ever regarding PVP.
Now they have to copy one more thing from that game...give #1 server something that both #2 and #3 desire and
we will get healthy situation where 2 weaker servers fight top one, and not another way around.
Also, that other superb MMO had another genius idea...top server had weakest keeps and towers, with weaker and smaller number
of guards (and guards in said game could actually 1-shot you in their strongest form)

How did Warhammer Online manage to lose over a billion dollars in a single year...
Like, I get that server maintenance and bandwidth costs can be in the millions. And there may be over a hundred employees, I don't know how big Mythic was at the time, but a big mmorpg could easily have that. That may come to tens of millions more, possibly.
But a billion? Was Elon Musk running Mythic? Did Games Workshop just take them to the cleaners?
Thats incredible amount of money
But we digress...back on topic:
Yesterday, we decided to test mighty MAG cloud vs our pug (so way below Red Guard or any organized guild group standard) squad. Result:

Eu players couldn’t handle MAG, the skill of our player base is made up of the best players in the world. We have evolved out of necessity to systematically pick apart the boon spamming blobs that all huddle on tag. We are made up of small groups of roaming builds that don’t use comms and know how to adjust to any situation.
Not only would the EU people get farmed they would get BM’d into oblivion. They play super nice on EU, I’m not sure they have ever encountered the trolly, skillful and somewhat toxic level of gameplay MAG can bring. Imo they would take MAG week off too.

Hundreds of EU players get a leg up by joining a game's alpha then leave shortly after launch before everyone else comes up to speed? Huh?
Depends what you consider "shortly", but yes. More precise would be "leave shortly after next pvp MMO in a queue comes out"
For example, most stayed in Warhammer Online until Mythic decided to kill itDAOC could be lone exempt, probably because it was released earlier in USA, and also MMOs were kind of
novelty back then
Celestial Gear needs to go, these builds are unfun and boring to fight against as well as to play.
