I can live with the bugs there is in the game because it's playable and servers never crash.

Personally i give Funcom 6 months to get everything fixed and if they fail i will look at Warhammer,even if all the jungledrums says WAR is in a worse state than AoC ever has been.

What worries me most about AoC is all the unbalanced classes and the insane AOE damage a lot of classes has.Some classes can solo 15 even level mobs at one time and if nothing is done,PvP will be a nightmare full of bomberteams just like we saw in DAOC.

I fear that their engine/our systems can't handle 2 x 48 players in battlekeepsieges and that's a gamebreaker because that's basically what the endgame is all about.

AoC is a kickass game but Funcom needs to pull off a few good patches within the next few months or the unpatient people will leave again.

Getting a Dell myself in a month or two through an arrangement from work.

Paying all in all 900$ over 3 years.

Will be nice to see how it performs compared to my older rig.

There is suppossed to be level 80 players allready ingame from a guild called Ebonlore.

No idea if people exploited their way to 80 or not,but if it's true that you can get to 80 in less than 3 days without exploiting something has to be done with the XP gain.

The guild made cities are in the border kingdoms? I wasn't updated about the game for a long time, but last time I've read about it around a year ago there were keeps in BK, and there were cities the guild can build (which will be attacked by monsters)

They removed the NPC attacks from attacking the guildcities so now they are safe.

Nothing can destroy your guildcity.

Only the battlekeeps,towers can be attacked ny players.

They should atleast create some sort of system so that if you crash and burn you will have a 10 minute period where your account will log directly in again and skip a que.

Would suck to be in a riad and crash and then have to wait 1 hour to get in again because of a stinking que.

There is an option ingame to turn off tits,blood'gore,fatalities and all that jazz but those playing can off course just turn it on again.

      Maybe this should have been released first so people wouldnt be having these problems.

 

(1) Funcom always said "limited"

(2) Fumcom said call your retailer if you do not receive your keys by the end of april

(3) Funcom has no control over stupid retailers who do not tell the customers

(4) Funcom does not teach people how to read (maybe they should have)

Well i have a letter with my collectors edition key here on the table and no where does it mention that the preaccess is limited or anything else.

It says preaccess is available for preorderes only and that it will give 3 days preacces and 10 days gametime for 5€.

How can you explain that?

What a bunch of freaking hustlers.

I preorderd several months ago and received my key today and now i can't even gain pre acces even if the letter says so.

People are put into jail for less in other countries.

I mean, if you played AO at release you would know that this same thing happened at that release. The most forums I go to I see people complaining about lag and frame rates, but this is natural for FC apparently. If you played AO at  it's release, you will know that this will be sorted ASAP :)

What lag/frame issues?  I have a mid range PC.  Cost me under 1000 dollars to put together. (well maybe 50 dollars over with the new Vista 64-bit I just installed)  And i was getting 40-60 FPS on modified high settings.  (I dropped the view distance down, the aa down, and the shadows set to mine only). 

 

 

My specs:

 

AMD 64 X2 4200+

4 gigs of PC6400 Ram

8800GTS (g92 version) 512MB card

Vista 64 Bit Home Premium

7200 SATA Harddrive.

Ouch you call that a mid range PC?

I would call it way over mid range.

If that's a midrange PC mine is a dinosaur :)

It worries me that Funcom openly told us a lie when they said the sieges would be several hundreds players attending battlekeepsieges at the same time.

What else did they lie about.

I'm still buying the game because it seems to have a very solid base with some very fun classes and good idea with playercities and battlesieges but i just wish developers would come out in the open and just tell the truth instead of making people disappointed later on.

i heard from a dev in a radio interview that it would take 4 days played time to get to 80.

That seems very low... guess this will be a very fast-leveling game.

That is false.  It took me anywhere from 4-6 hours to get to level 13.  Probably around 10 hours playtime to get to level 20.  It does start getting slower.  I would have to imagine that it takes just as long as any other MMO to hit max level.

 

 

96 hours played?  No way is that true.

That's kinda slow.You do it in less than 2 hours if you knew what you were doing and as mentioned people hit level 36+ just in one day in the FFA open beta.

Just shows that if you what you are doing you will get to the top fast.

I bet we will see the first level 80 in 2 maybe 3 weeks after release.

Not sure but in 1 day in open beta some players leveled from 20-36 and that is on a FFA server so i would imagine it would be even faster on a PvE server.

I'm glad our guild is starting on PvE server.

The chat in open beta is worse than barrows in WoW.Amazing how many retarded comments people can make in the chat.Just because it's FFA pVP people think they are allowed to say anything.It might be rated M for mature but there is nothing mature happening in the global chat in OB.

Starting on a PvE server give people time to level and in the meantime Funcom hopefully can fix their game until we're ready to get guildcities and battlekeeps because as it is now it's not quite ready.

There are so many things that is missing/flawed/bugged and it's amazing how different playexperiences people have when it comes to performance.Some people playing on state of the art PC's that cost 3K+ can't play the game and some on 1 years PC's can.

Looks like Funcom still have a lot of work to do the following months.

I start at release and hope they improve their game in time for guildcities/crafting/battlekeeps sieges.

If they don't i guess i have to hope for Mythic to deliver a better PvP game.

I was very happy when i experienced yesterdays patch when the closed beta version hit the open beta.It helped me TONS but after having played 4 hours tonight i'm a sad man again.

PvP is virtually impossible for me.Simply to much HD loading.

Amazing how ones mood can swing from extremely happy to very sad in a day.There is no way my PC can handle AoC in PvP as it is now.Maybe it minigames but that's it.

Tried all kinds of setting but nothing helped.

And why are you calling it an FPS.

Because the combat is more actionpacked than normal mmorpgs?Maybe that's the fact for a Melee character but it's just the same as always for spellcasting types.

not a RPG?

Have some of you tried to do all of the quests on the starting island and read the queststories.There is plenty of RPG in AoC.

For me it's another mmorpg and not a FPS.

Todays patch helped me a TON.

Duo intel 6320(1.86 Ghz)

2 Gm ram vista 32

8600 Gt 256 Mb ram.

Now i load a lot faster and i can run around in tortage with very little HD load and stalls.

Still play on low though because i play on 22" in 1650x1080 but getting FPS from 25-70 depending where i am in the game so all is good and it looks just fine on low.

yummy patch when it comes to performance for me too.

Can run through Tortage now with just a little HD load once in a while.A lot better than before but there is a tons of bugs they need to get rid of.

Good performance patch though.

If you play a mage class you will get owned.  Plain and simple. 

Someone forgot to tell that to my demonologist and my 2 team demos

Having played most of them one thing I can conclude at least for me - HoX are "TeH FAIL"

I wouldn't say HoX is the fail in PvE.

My level 13 HoX crits for almost 400 where my level 13 Conq crits for lil over 100.

But they sure is a papertank/cannon.They are dead very fast because of their low HP's.Not sure how they are later on but i heard they bloom late.

After playing the open beta i'm sooo buying  G15 macro keyboard and will arrange all the attacks in macropieces alligened up for the weak spots in the enemies shields.

Did that make any sense?
