AoC---OB working great for me on my Toshiba gaming laptop! Can't wait for retail, and I really can't wait to play it on my Xbox 360!

For naysayers:

The game is FEAST FOR THE EYES.

I just enabled shadows (under ctrl+right shift+c) and it added a new layer for reality.

I wish I can show you some screenshots from some carnage I had... but I think this is all I could, it's on Tortage teritory, accessible to level 13.

My rig:
AMD Phenom 9500
ATI Radeon 3870
4GB DDR2
Vista ultimate 64-bit (which intentionally shows on ss)

Ok, time for the trolls, can't imagine what imaginary fault will they find now.

You may call this trolling. I call it pointing out the cold, hard facts.

How far do you really think the majority of players will get when it is promoted as a gankfest?

How much of the +20 world do you really think people will see?

I'm betting little to none.

If you are too stupid to see that, then I can't help you, but I will let everyone know that a glossed over 'truly open' beta is nothing but a smokescreen to hide the fact that the game is incomplete.

kthanxbye.

So those players on close beta PvP server did not saw much of the world ?

Why bother with open beta (smoke screen), AoC is way (over)hyped and they could easily skip open beta and they WOULD sell way way more pre orders. Since open beta players are aware of performance issues, game mehanics, glorified combat system etc...

Before open beta the game was considered truly next gen MMO, and now some like it some dont.

Would you agree that if Funcom would made much much more money on pre orders if they would not release open beta ?

If their intenstion with open beta was not to test the game and performance why do it ?
( they sure are aware of issues they have as they should be considering that close beta is running since April 07 )
