DAoC game play, RvR that is, would be a whole better game if they used that engine and tacked on Mount and Blades combat system...and added siege engines and destructable walls.    OMG...gimmee!

Destructible walls and siege engines are already in the game. 

Oh...when was that added?

Mythic needs to hire this guy! I will pay money to see DAOC upgraded to the Cry Engine!

I agree give us a new DAoC with these graphics and do something to destroy the botters and I would come running back.

If im right they're referring to not the native game, but some mods, ive read about such mods while skimming threads for ones to try with my own mount and blade gameplay. So in the existing game by themselves its not there but can be done using mods.

Btw DAoC with those graphics is lookin sweet, i remember playing quite awhile back, enjoyed my valewalker and vampir, cant recall the 3rd character i used though. was a neat game

 Siege engines have been in the game for as long as I can remember. Trebuches rams and catapults. That's how you take a keep in the game. No fighting from horse back but you can definitely put holes in the side of a keep and you can completely bash a tower down to the ground. 

Could it be possible to create a Crysis mod (or any other game mod) using these graphics and maps, and then create (or use) DAoC style models, and make it an instant-jump-in action FPS-RPG?

1) Join Server
2) Pick Realm (Midgard, Hibernia, Albion)
3) Pick Race (stats)
4) Pick Class (skills)

That's it. There is no equipment, no stats or items. All things are imbedded into the race/class choices.

For simplicity, you could simply make it where each class is automatically assigned a race. (Wouldnt be as cool though.)

You could also start out with a VERY simple setup.

Midgard: Warrior, Runemaster, Healer
Hibernia: Hero, Eldritch, Druid
Albion: Armsman, Wizard, Cleric

Then just add in classes later.
In essence, you could balance classes more easily by making them almost identical. (Warrior/Hero/Armsman are same, Wizard/Eldritch/Runemaster are same, etc. etc.)

Then later versify it with the hybrid classes (Champion / Thane / Paladin & Theurgist / Animist / Bonedancer)

Make it play very simply (Each class has [x] attacks, make it more action-based and less turn based)

basically- it would be DAoC without all the crap. Balanced sides, balanced numbers (server cap divided by 3) and EVERYONE has the same armor/weapons (no twinks!) and same abilities. It's "jump in and play DAoC" or even better if it's more action-based twitch combat.

Sure a lot of slow-paced DAoC players would hate it... but if you gave it that "Camelot feel" then thousands would LOVE it!

Is it possible to do that? A combat system similar to DDO or Darkfall- but in an FPS engine (Crysis, Unreal, etc.)?

The point of the game could be "Capture the Keep" where one side in the server owns the keep. There could even be BOTS in the game in the keep just like DAoC.

Everything is possible what Crysis can do, and SDK contains tools to create mods.

Basically team fortress with 3 sides and only one keep :)

LoL.... it's not like they having already done that or anything.

Oh wait...

Wasn't DAoC known as "Dark Age of TaskDungeons" one time?

Yep... for a VERY long time...

the original DAoC with a reworked user-interface/control and that gfx - I would resub instantly.

even if i had to start from scratch !

I guess we should be grateful in a way, would have been a real shame to ruin the DAOC franchise by making it like Warhammer turned out.
