im worrying about all the crowd control in PvE. Every hit seems to ministun the npcs and think it would be horrid in PvP. With no streamers being level 50, I want to get my hands on it to find out for myself.
Sounds Promising, I'll bring a strobe light and some 1992 Techno for my Pop-N-Lock character.

Eh, DAoC had some of the most ridiculous bullshit around when it came to CC, and it still managed to be one of/the best mass-scale PvP game to-date.

True, but that was also a long time ago :p I don't think you would get away with that kind of CC today. You already get mass complaints if someone has a 4 sec CC on you.

It also was needed, along with spammable pbae's, to allow small groups to wipe out large groups.

Well, I realize it was a situation that was unique to DAoC and something that would be hard/impossible to recreate. However, I'm just pointing out that massive amounts of CC isn't necessarily always a bad thing.

so after a few hours of messing around with it I got it installed, time to grind out level 50 to try PvP.

I may do this in the next few days, mind giving a rundown on what it took to get it set up and going? (Also is the game worth it?)

I just got through character creation, dont really have anything to measure 'worth it' yet.

Only problem I really ran into was that the game didnt update my registry for its current version so I had to change it manually for the Daum launcher to work. That reddit post was able to walk me through it all pretty easily.

Well I got the game to launch through the website. The launcher asks me to point to a folder for temporary files and then I get this error:

edit: deleted all the files, started over, now I'm getting this error message.

Probably a VPN issue. Tried a free one and it seems to be working. but I'm downloading at 0.1MB. This is great.

Edit: This game has a slow as fuck download even through a dedicated VPN.

I was watching bikeman play on twitch and I remember him saying that if you used google dns you didn't need a vpn. What those two have to do with each other I have no idea.

Fighting through foreign languages and vpns and shit pings to play a beta/alpha is a good way to burn out before release, haha.
