We can not give much info away atm.  What I can tell and what has already been told is that there are dungeons that start around lvl 38 (has been made official).  As far as testing those in CB we can not say much.  But like all-  its beta and things dont go always to smooth.  Some grouping up problems made it hard to work together in groups. 

But - (also official)  The whole of Hyboria is instanced.  That means that you can do all of it as solo or do it as a group in diffrent dificulty lvl after lvl 20  (abit harder giving more rep and so on).    Not quite sure how the mecanics work tho.  But the switching between instances is pretty much like normal to heroic in WOW.  But instead of just the dungeons in WOW beein heroic the WHOLE of Hyboria is heroic.  At least that was my impression of it.  

But if it has been balanced yet - Im not sure.

The WoW Heroic thing was really stupid in my opinion, I felt they should have put more time into creating new dungeons

lol and next expansion you get a remake of naxx.. yay. they must be paying people overtime to come up with this stuff...

nice spec

but what does off hand proc mean?

and why didn't you get curse of the lotus? i think it's worth the 3 points. i would drop lotus tainted blood, since your an assassin and you probably won't be tanking any mobs. you can aslo get rid of one point in combo sabatage armor.

in the general tree you can drop 1 point off of toughness and get second wind. it's a great ability. in beta i often found myself out of stamina as an assassin when i was running dungeons with my friends and you don't regen stamina when your in combat.

here's my little additions.

nice build overall. looks solid for sustained dps.

tell me what you think

 

 

thanks. although, i dont know how much tanking i will be doing, she wants to be a ranger.

ah :D you'll probably want to tank then :P

Spirit Bear Shammy (Support Build)

very solid.

i hope that i have a bear shaman with that build in my group. the immune to root spell is amazing. i wonder if you can use it after someone is rooted?

also why not go for spell vengeance of the gods? from what i hear bear shamans heal more with the dmg they do.

the feat focus doesn't seem needed. from what i seen in the 20 beta if you have full casting concentration you won't lose cast time from attacks ever.

overall very nice build

just put up counter attack and watch the mobs kill themselves :D

the last feat in the thunder tree, on the left. i think that's what your talking about.

if as a rogue class you have ANY hopes of killing the ranged classes in this game you will need to fit Agile mind, escape artist, and Excellent balance into your build. If you don't have them... you are caster bait, you can give me sideways arguements or say the ranger is mostly a ranged class, but they aren't.

 

Honestly i say those, because PoM will have knockbacks from hell, the ToS will be root and stun happy, the other casters can root, snare, fear, and charm.... If you are without the skills to avoid CC you will be rooted/slowed/stunned and dead b4 you get your second set of hits off on the caster. and at 80, no you can't 1 shot a caster, and yes, cc is more then fast enough to f you up for tryin to mess with them.

 

This game has a STUPID high amount of CC compared to like 90% of all games i am sure you guys have played.

i've been pondering that for awhile. either go for the rogue general tree and get agile mind, cheat death, escape artist, and excellent balance. or go for the xbow tree and get, shattering stance, grenadier, clear the field, and debilitating aim.

i'm more of a group pvp person. so i see my roll more as a cc first then damager second. and incapacitating stabs is a very fast move. so anyone even close enough to knock me back will be suprised :P. and with root trap / crippling snipe most melee won't get close enough to me.

also in beta when i was an assassin, i speced general and escape artist never worked. not sure how much "substantial chance" means but the 5 times i used it, it never worked. not sure if it was a bug or just a lower chance then i thought it would of been.

what do you think?

feat planner: http://feats.goonheim.com

anyone have a build they are thinking about? i would like to see what people are planning on doing with thier feats.

for my ranger i was thinking of feats.goonheim.com/ranger#t0a5b5d3f2i5j5k1m3t1a5b5f3g5h5j1l2m5n1o1p3q5u5v3x1t2 

any feedback?

in both the pvp beta and the open beta there was alot of, "OMG WHEREZ MY NIPPLEZZ" so i'm sure it has something to do with it.

also i would say that the combat system has alot to do with it. for me at least that is the draw and a faster pace battle.

I would really like to hear everyone's opinion on this because really it's getting old.

Why are there so many posts nit picking the game?

Are they just mad because they can't play?

Computer isn't up to par?

Game promoters from other companies trying to make it look bad?

This has to be the best game I've played yet, and it was a beta. So, I just don't get it.

What do you guys think?

I haven't played the game yet and I am still keeping an eye on it. I have a question for you before I answer yours. Have you ever hated/didn't like a game before and posted a negative review of it in the appropriate forum? I'm not talking about a immature hate post, but a negative review that you fealt was very honest and fair.

 

Well, we must treat those with their opinions and reviews of AoC with the same amount of respect as we would want to be treated if we posted one. Just because one person has a great experience, doesn't guarantee every other person will too.

Just because a person doesn't like AoC and has had a bad experience doesn't mean they have a right to post immature hate posts and start a hate campaign. However, as adults, we need to realize that not everyone is mature or even educated enough to post in a coherent manner. Therefore we take from their posts the meaning and intention behind their hate to get to the real story. Some of these people have truly had a bad experience, but do not know of an effective way to say so, without pissing others off and being confrontational. We just need to ignore that part of their posts and get to the true nature of it. If it is truely a hate post with no other intent than to ignite a flame war, then posters need to ignore that thread. It will go away and they will too when no one is feeding the flame.

So that is my theory. Some of these posts are made by legitamite people who have had bad experiences and others are immature enough to just start flame threads and other people play into them.

agreed. well put.

I have played the tc beta, gc beta, o beta and there is little to zero replayability from level 1 to 20.

- You have 3 different races (all human race), they start on same location.

- They go from A to B, same path. It's like you go to work the same way, everyday, it's little joy.

- Playing different classes from 1 to 20 is very little action. They do not really show to be different from level 1 to 20.

 

*Note: You have SO MANY different classes to play, so from 1 to 20 is IMPORTANT to some people!

There will be alot of playing from the start to 20.

I speak of this, because it's really a BAD thing!

that's cool, i see what your saying.  for me replaying doesn't really matter to me. i don't usually play a game for how fun it is to lvl. not saying it wasn't fun to get from 1-20, i loved going from 1-13 so i imagine i'd like it to 20 also.

from my experiance lvl 1-13 didn't take long anyways. it's not like the biggest chunk of time spent lvling is from 1-20. after awhile, any game you play will have low replay value.

So let me get this right, the game will be like the novels..........

 

"We are doomed! Our enemies are horded at our gates, there are atleast 500 men!"

"What?"

"We are doomed! We barely have 50 men!"

"Shutup noob, the siege instance only allows 48 vs 48"

"Oh..... Then why don't we just attack the 5000 men defending thier keep if numbers do not matter?"

"Well, we would have to scedule that in advance with the defending force."

"Why can't we rush in and seige the city?"

"Because we are barbarians, and we enjoy a fair fight at a designated time with equal numbers. How does Thursday 8:00pm Central time sound to you?"

"We will spill thier blood! Oh wait..... Thursday is family game night"

"Damned Aquilonians and thier game nights"

 

 

 

well it is a game after all. most people won't be able to log on at 2 am when someone decides to attack thier keep. so i think a vulnerability window is needed.

Again, wanting these things, and actually creating them are different things.

They probably changed their minds due to some problem that arose during development.

I don't know, i don't know their reasons.  All i'm saying is that they changed their minds for a -reason- not just to spit in your eye

 

even tho they didn't do it on purpose they still did it :P. and i'm not saying it will never change. just the way it got dropped on us, by a ss of a manual that funcom knew about.  but still told us it was one way, but were really planning on doing it another way, is kinda shady.

Well the videos and all the quotes sound to me more like the typical developer whos so proud of their game and expects everything out of the game.  The guy who promises the world, and praises features which aren't set it stone, still being tested, or just beginning development cycles.

 

I don't remember them ever saying exactly how many people will be raiding, or that they have settled on a number.  They've said 500 people -in- the town, and -hundreds- fighting.  neither of which were complete promises, nor were they the explicit numbers going to be used.

I understand, but it's not like they are trying to lie to everyone.  They simply were unable to follow through with their original design -intention-
