Eden Season 3: Introducing Campaigns

We are excited to begin announcing the numerous changes that will be introduced with Season 3. Over the next few weeks between now and the start of beta, we will be having multiple announcements to introduce the new features that are planned for the upcoming season.

We’re thrilled today to introduce two major updates aimed at enhancing your gameplay experience: changes to relics and a brand-new Campaign system. These additions are designed to invigorate the end-game and provide fresh incentives for engaging in Realm vs. Realm combat.

<<<<Campaigns>>>>

Campaigns are a new feature we are adding to Season 3. Campaigns will be a recurring RvR oriented system that will give players a way to earn valuable rewards through various frontier activities.

Each campaign will feature 10 tiers with escalating requirements and increasing rewards. By doing various tasks related to RvR, players will be able to gain Campaign Experience which will unlock additional rewards and level up a player’s Campaign Level.

Some of the example Campaign Objectives and Quests Include:

1. Killing Players

2.Capturing or defending towers and keeps

3.Defending or taking relics

4.Many, many more to be announced

There is also a very important aspect of Campaign rewards that are tied to a new Relic System.

<<<<<Relics>>>>>>

Relics are the pinnacle of RvR combat and should always be sought to be defended and taken. Traditional Relic Rewards (increasing damage) are too overpowering and often lead to imbalances that can be expected with a 20% increase in power. However, if the bonuses are too negligible, they can become an afterthought.

We are happy to announce our new relic system that will be tied to our Campaign System. In Season 3, each relic will have an associated RP Pool tied to its ownership. At the end of a Campaign, this RP pool will be distributed based on the player's Campaign Level and contributions.

For a simple example, let us say a Campaign lasts one week and each relic for this campaign is worth 10K Realm points.

Albion has their strength relic taken by Midgard halfway through the campaign

No other relics change hands

This means that at the end of a Campaign the RP Pool for the realms would be broken down as follows:

Midgard: 25k RPs (10k each for their own relics, 5k for the ownership of the Albion Strength relic for 50% of the duration of the campaign)

Hibernia: 20k RPs (10k for each of their own relics)

Albion: 15k RPs(10k for their Magic relic, 5k for ownership of their strength relic for 50% of the duration of the campaign)

At the end of a Campaign, RP rewards will be given out based on a player’s campaign level. Players who have reached the maximum Campaign level will be eligible for the full reward.

For example, Shandril is a Midgard player who reaches campaign level 5. Bethel is an Albion player who reaches the max campaign level of 10.

Shandril will receive 25k * 50% = 12.5k RPs for their participation in this campaign

Bethel will receive 15k * 100% = 15k RPs for their participation in this campaign

We are incredibly excited to introduce this new system to all of you!

Hey all, Im hoping to get some advice from the veterans on the server. I have a level 50 Ranger, a lurikeen 4l6 and I really enjoy PvP. I do OK if I get the drop on someone from time to time, but my goodness if Im not at range for an entire fight Im dead 9/10 times. I see scouts can stun with their shield, hunters can use a pet to harass, Im curious what my niche is compared to my counterparts and if there are any other tips you all might share? I'd like to stick to Hibernia because my brother loves this faction and I don't see him switching.

Edit- Im on Eden!

I can’t tell by the trailer they just released. Doesn’t look like Unreal, but the atmospheric volumes look…enhanced. Not sure if that’s just cinematic trailer vfx or actual new environmental enhancements.

Anyone around how you guys been? Cyce, Mona, Stuk, Maddelin, Monsters, etc etc. Good times hard to imagine we played nightly for like a decade.

Eden DAoC

https://eden-daoc.net/ https://discord.com/invite/eden-daoc

Interested

I want to know the best way to play DAoC today. What are the best servers and required add-ons in 2024/25??

Hey DAOCians!

This weekend I talked with a friend who played DAOC back in the days. He knows the game a lot and got me hyped.

I've been playing old school MMOs these past years, mainly LOTRO with some DDO and SWTOR here and there and been loving it. LOTRO especially since it's solo-friendly and the story and universe is amazing. I'm also playing more modern MMOs like WoW, ESO and Neverwinter.

So while talking to my friend it was clear that DAOC was the next I should try right?

I read the Wiki and I am impressed by the sheer amount of choices in races and classes and I love that every realm have it's own thematic. The game look awesome in these aspects.

The only thing that I fear a bit is the graphics. Don't get me wrong, i'm all for some nostalgic looks but there's a point where it breaks my immersion. LOTRO/SWTOR/DDO are all good looking games and most of them have a "Hi-Res patch". Does DAOC have one?

What should I expect graphics wise?

Care to share some in-game screenshots to show me the game?

Thanks a lot!

I played DAoC from day 1 through Darkness Rising... I'm just now coming back to the game and really appreciating Eden. It's so fun to revisit this amazing game!!

Can anybody speak to the importance of gear in end game RVR now?? Something I used to hate was just how important the gear was. Like in ToA, I spent soooo many hours getting artifacts and the scrolls and then leveling the gear, etc., just so I wouldn't get my ass handed to me in RvR.

Obviously all things being equal, better gear is better... but is it possible to be competitive without spending *forever* on gear?

I thought it would be interesting to start a thread and conversation about this. I think Eden is great and I look forward to playing it for a long time as honestly DAoC is life! :) Played it off and on for ~15 years and there's no game that comes close. I think there are a lot of DAoC lovers out there that don't know Eden exists, unless they're on Reddit or... maybe Discord? There's very little out there on other social media platforms and whatnot. Someone that played and loved DAoC and isn't on Reddit/Discord, and I'm sure there are tons of those people that would totally play Eden, simply never would be able to find it. How can we all get the word out there better?

I tried wow hardcore, but not much of a WoW guy. Just curious what others are up to. I am about to try the Warhammer freeshard.

Hello guys,

i created a test server using the Dawn of Light DAoC server emulator https://dolserver.sourceforge.net/ but i can't do any quests, neither as gm or palyer. It almost seems like they don't exist or aren't enabled. Do you know what i can do? i would like to do some classic realm quests for daoc lore research.

edit- conclusions after test a bit more: no db has quests inside. i checked all the tables inside and "quests" is empty too.i think that my only solution is to play them on live, but this will take time because i can't have adm privilege on it.

I'm curious to see what you perspectives are on settling on a class to play. Back when Daoc came out, I never had this issue because it took so ungodly long to level that once my Eld finally hit 50 I just played it exclusively till rr 11. These days on Eden, I swap realms and characters a fair amount, and as a result, my characters are all mostly rr 6-8. I'll have an amazing battle on my Fire Wiz, but after it I'll think....hmm I woulda had more fun on a healing class. Or vice versa. It feels unsatisfying in a way to switch and I think if I committed to one class I'd probably be happier.

I either play pure nukers like RM (RC), Wiz (Fire) or healers like reju friar, aug/mend healer, cleric, etc.

So the first dilemma, is which archetype to pick. Very hard. For small man or 8man stuff, I like being on a healer, but for big bg zerg battles, being on a bolting/aoe'ing nuker is incredibly fun. In other MMO's, I usually play healers, but nuking in daoc is just another lvl of fun. Then again, being on a healer feels more engaging sometimes, in that you have so many more abilities/keybinds.

Then, even if I settled on an archetype, it's still hard picking the class. E.g. I adore that fire wiz has a 3rd bolt as it helps to seal the deal when killing casters. But then I like the spell graphics of a RM a lot better....

It's not that I think the grass is always greener in that a certain class would be stronger, it's more that the grass seems greener in terms of which one I'd be having more fun on.

*Psyduck noises*

Hi all,

Like many here we are DAOC fans, I'm a fan of both Mythic MMO's DAOC and Warhammer (WAR) because they are both PvP centric games, I played both games at their launch 2001 and 2008, this is NOT a discussion on which game is better, so let me get that out of the way, DAOC is superior to WAR but WAR is to me the 2nd best PvP game ever created, I play DAOC the majority of my time but also play WAR as I love both games.

With that out of the way I play DAOC on Eden and we know that unfortunately this server has seasons and while we wait for the beta and the relaunch of the server some have asked what to play (if you aren't interested in the beta yourself) well I'm here to invite you to try Warhammer Online Age of Reckoning private server, like Eden is a free private server, this server launched over 10 years ago and is very active usually with population around 1000-1500+ on weekends and even weekdays late NA 300-400 players. So if you aren't planning on participating in the daoc beta and want to try another really good pvp I invite you to check out WAR and at least one positive thing is that your characters won't be reset.

The official name of the server is Age of Reckoning the url is : www.returnofreckoning.com

Let me also point of 6 major differences between the games, these differences will of course make someone that only played DAOC either see them as negative or positive, but honestly they aren't reason enough not to like either game and each game should be different anyways even if there was ever a DAOC2 it would have done things a bit different.

1. Both games are focused on RvR, but DAOC features 3 realms vs 2 realms on WAR. Which is why DAOC is superior but the concept remains the same.

2. Both games have Frontier where the RvR happens that features capturing keeps, DAOC technically stops at keeps. WAR takes it a step further after capturing an entire enemy zone you lock it and keep advancing until you get to their Fortress (think of them like Relic Keeps maybe) and once you capture their fortress you will be able to invade their main city (yes where player pve, do their business, etc) you can invade their city and kill their King (think a bit like realm invasion event on Eden but we actually enter an enemy city).

3. Both games have a max level that was never changed due to expansions and this is a good thing, DAOC is level 50 and WAR is level 40, they both award you realm/renown points for PvPing (killing players, capturing keeps, etc), DAOC calls it Realm Rank and WAR call it Renown Rank, WAR has a max RR80.

4. CC (Crowd Control). This is where they vastly are different, see Mark Jacobs knew that DAOC CC was a bit much, I love daoc but let's be honest 45 sec mezz?, 1+ min snares, roots. etc meant that if your toys were down a group can be blanket mezzed and be picked off 1 by 1 without any chance of fighting back, he toned down the CC in WAR with the idea of having players fight vs being CC'ed. With that said there is CC in both games, we know the CC in daoc so I'll briefly talk about WAR's CC:

There is Stagger, Snare, Root, Stun, Knock Back, Silence and Disarm. The major difference is that there is no mezz, stagger and stuns are 3-4 sec max. Yes no 9 sec stun. they share 30 second immunity except snare has no immunity.

5. Stealth: There is a stealth class in WAR (witch hunter and witch elves) there is no perma stealth.

6. Scenarios/Battlegounds: We have battlegrounds in daoc, WAR has scenarios (instanced pvp 6v6, 12v12, etc) you can queue up to join scenarios from lv1 and just like bgs is faster to level in scenarios because you get more xp and renown, but in daoc we get to lv10 and do bg's and try to move fast to get to 50. In WAR scenarios are also part of the progress of PvP, without explaining too much you do mostly RvR but you also need to do scenarios for weapons. So in WAR you can start pvping from lv1 if you want.

I hope this entices you to check out the game, there are tons of youtube videos on tutorial etc but whats is best is try the game yourself, you have nothing to lose you might enjoy it like many of us fans of both Mythic games.

See you in the Frontiers! DAOC's and WAR!

I was a Void Eld for S2. Debating what to do for S3. How about you?

*EDIT: Since people are addressing this post as if it's from the developers: I am not affiliated with the Eden team. I merely posted the announcement here for convenience.

Copy pasted from the Discord announcement:

A New Year - A New Eden

Season 3 Announcement

The time has come that we announce the close of the incredible 2nd Season of Eden Dark Age of Camelot. Season 2 will end on 2. januar 2025 . This will allow everyone to enjoy a final season 2 month of Dark Age of Camelot over the holidays.

Season 3 beta will begin 5. januar 2025 . We have extremely exciting news to announce with Season 3 that we will do over the course of smaller announcements between now and the start of beta.

What does a new season mean?

Season resets allow for players to experience the rush and excitement of fresh new server, while carrying over meaningful progression. With a realm skill point cap that increases every week, players are able to start off on an even footing.

What carries over? All S1 characters and characters that have reached level 50 or at least realm rank 2L4 by the end of the season will have the following carry over:

Realm Points

Character name

Crafting skills (account bound)

Player stats/achievements/titles

Trophies

What is reset? The following is reset for all characters:

Levels (All characters that carry over will be reset to level 1)

Items

Currency

Money

Housing

A final note

We wanted to address that the change from Season 2 to Season 3 was a decision based on what we felt would bring the most fun to the players. While the population and action for Season 2 is still holding stable and strong, the pros of introducing new season 3 content and the opportunity for the fresh season start led us to make the decision that should bring the most fun and enjoyment to the game and community. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them in ⁠Eden DAoC⁠💬│questions-and-answers Image

Hello fellas,

i’d like to use daoc maps (https://tekener.com/cgi-bin/maps?realm=albion&lang=en) to create a D&D campaign with my friends, but I can’t figure out how to upscale them so I can zoom in to the level of detail typical of a classic D&D grid (5 feet per square). Unfortunately, I’m not a graphic designer and have no idea how to do it. ChatGPT suggested using software like ESRGAN, Stable Diffusion, and Topaz Gigapixel AI, but I have no idea how to use them.

I’ve tried some free tools like Img2Go and iLoveIMG, but they simply enlarge the images by filling the new pixels with colors—they don’t add textures or create details like trees, so the results are very poor.

Can anyone help me by suggesting a way to achieve my goal? I’d really appreciate it.

Maybe someone has a big resolution versione of those?

Thanks in advance,
M

edit: to play we use a board on Miro. It's very nice because it allows you to drag and drop any type of file, and it's easy to access and share. It's this. https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVLAvlsLQ=/?share_link_id=567654807769
if u see, u can't zoom in too much because resolution is not hig enough

Hi all I'm new to DAoC and im looking for some help with my berserker I feel like i am playing it wrong and im not getting much advice so im gonna sk here what should my rotations be? everyone is telling me its a three button class but i can not for the life of me figure out how to write a AHK script or use recorder to make it a three button class so could anyone explai to me what skills to use and how to write them in AHK or recorder?

Hi all,

Federation of Albion is recruiting all new and returning players to the guild/alliance. We run both PvE/RvR events and do regular raids for the Alb community to help those in need of levelling/templating but also getting groups for RvR. We don't just do Visi groups but we also do stealth groups to give a variety events to keep things enjoyable.

Raids and events in FoA Guild/alliance:

1. PvE Marathons during EU and US prime (Public)
You'll find we will run once or twice a week a PvE Marathon for all those players that have joined our guild to get templated. This will be mainly on weekends but will also be on during the week for those that can't make the weekends. These events include Sidi raid, Master level 10, Summoners hall, Master level 9, Avalon city, Darkness falls, Krondon, Dragon Campaign: Pre-quest/Mini's/Dragon (Goles), Medal of Honor, Champion level 5 etc.

2. Stealth and Visi level 1-50 events in the battlegrounds
This event will only take place on the weekend. We will start in the battlegrounds at level 1 and go right through to 50. We will go into different battlegrounds and run the quests/killing enemies/taking keeps in:

• The Proving grounds (1-5)
• The Lion's Den (Level 5-9)
• The Hill's of Claret (Level 10-14)
• Killaloe (Level 15-19)
• Thidranki (Level 20-24)
• Braemar (Level 25-29)
• Wilton (Level 30-34)
• Molvik (Level 35-39)
• Leirvik (Level 40-44)
• Cathal Valley (Level 45-49)

3. FoA Guild/alliance RvR groups
We will organize groups during EU and US prime-time in RvR for those that wanting to join the guild/alliance groups. We will run with the Alb community bg leads and sidecar them!

4. FoA Stealth nights

We also will start running stealth groups during EU/US prime-time for those wanting a different approach to RvR where we sneak up on our enemies. This maybe group or battlegroup depending how many interested at either of these time zones.

5. Other events
Duel tournaments (special event)

King of the hill groups (level 50)

If you are interested in wanting to join the Guild/alliance of FoA please get hold of Solicfear/Rahl/Onesick for more info and we will happy ask any questions u have!

FoA discord; PKKe44v

Have they said anything yet? Discord doesn’t have a general chat. Thanks

Considering a come back after a decade or more out.

Is it worth it? How’s the population by realm? Would like to be in groups rather than solo and relive some of the good old days.

I haven't started Edan but have been following it as I was an old school daoc player (2004-2010). I'm curious if all the old strategies and farming spots have been tested on Edan. We used to easily farm dragons on alb with a 9 person setup. Auto farming with macro'd flies setups. Plenty of hib dungeon spots. I get it's fast to level in BGs on Edan. But we used to be able to PL a new character to 50 in a day or two. Have all the old farming spots been better in Edan?

u/everyone ALBION: PvE Marathon on Saturday 16th November for level 40+

Hi all, I'll be leading a PvE Marathon on Saturday 16th November for all level 40+. If you can try and reach level 45+ that would be helpful so i can run through all the content such as pre-quest/mini's and Dragon/ MoH that are lvl 45+ encounters.

Time start: 15:00PM CET / 14:00PM UK / 9:00AM EST / 8:00AM CST / 6:00AM PST. (other times zones you'll need to check on google)!

The order I have in mind for raids but subject to change on the day:

Sidi raid

Summoners Hall

Master level 10

Summoners Hall

Pre-quest / Mini's / Goles

Summoners Hall

Medal of Honor / Avalon city

Springtime folly

CL 5 raid

Sidi raid

Summoners Hall

Master level 10

OTHER RAIDS:

If we have DARKNESS FALLS we will do it but it's not certain we will have it open so have to play it by ear on this one!

ML 9 Dungeon for skins.... Again play it be ear on if we really need it!

Other raids may be added but this is the order I possibly have planned! I will announce each time on here what raid I'm doing so you guys can jump in on the raids you need done!

Any questions don't hesitate to ask!

Hope to see you all there

Back in the day, there really wasn't a great way to stay in contact with people after leaving the game (besides forums). Tell me about the person you used to be connected with that you have lost contact with!

I haven't played much DAOC since Uthgard went down 10 years ago. Moved across the country multiple times for work and raises. Long story.

Anyway, I'm completely out of the loop with freeshards. Last I checked Eden was the big server but they were wiping the server every 6 months?

Is Eden still where it's at? How do the server wipes work?

I don't have the patience to template over and over every 6 months.
