My first real look into Catacombs…
Ok, Tuesday was a no sleep day for me. I just couldn’t get to sleep at all. One of the things I do when I get that way is I play my games. So, the choice for yesterday was DAoC, and I wanted to experience the new stuff in the Catacombs expansion. I logged in the Mins and Cleric bot and proceded to try the instance dungeons (kind of a private hunting grounds generated for me). It actually worked very well. There are no limitations to the group size, even single players can have their own dungeon. Very nice. After killing a few baddies, I decided to see what a new class called the Heretic was about. It takes forever now to get through the tutorials. Of course, after about an hour of tutorials, I was ready to start leveling my little guy. As I really got into the leveling, using the instance dungeons to my leveling advantage as it generates mobs that are blue con if you’re solo. It’s a steady flow of mobs, complete with a nice camp bonus, and no one can come in and start pulling from your camp. A couple of the downsides are, the dungeons are timed like tasks, and if you leave the dungeon at any time, it cancels. Anyway, so far my new lil toon is level 8. I think he’s going to be my next level 50. He’s got good solo and group utility with his dots, weapons, buffs, and heals. He’s a bit harder to kill than my cleric, because he has a spec shield. The only problem with this logic is he also wears cloth…. Figures! lol!
Anyway, thought I’d share my first time experiences with Catacombs…. I’ll post more as I’m able to play more. Maybe more later….
