only a few bugs that are really annoying. and some overpowered abilities that i'm guessing will be nerfed soon or should be.

3 rangers can clear any group dungeon in the game, the way it's set up now. there isn't much of a point to doing group dungeons yet. the quests don't give very much exp, for the time taken to do it. the exp given from mobs is less then killing non epic mobs. the drops arn't very much better then quest items. group grinding is more effective then questing, expecially with the repeatable slaying quests you get.

the group bug is the most annoying bug so far. when you crash, which seems to happen in waves, you would not be able to to gorup for about 15 mins. sometimes your group won't enter then same instance also.along with only a few broken quests. at lvl 52 now and i've had to grind 4 lvls, that wasn't much fun.

some maps are very restrictive. the place you want to go might be 1 inch away from you on the map but it takes 10 mins to walk there cause of the way the map funnels you (the lvl 50 mountain area and conalls valley) there are alot of open maps, but sometimes you will get stuck on the envierment, but overall i'd say there are more open maps then restictive ones.

crafting seems to be really bugged or i just don't know wtf i'm doing. but i've been talking to some people and they are having the same problem as me. i went to go talk to the armorsmith at 40 and accidently hit bye to early and now i can't become an armorsmith anymore. i got a couple plans from the weaponsmith and tried to go back and turn them in but he won't talk to me at all anymore. a dialog won't open, he just says "i don't have time for you" in purple. the gathering skills work just fine for me though.

items don't seem to add much dmg to attacks. i could still be in lvl 20 gear and kill mobs just as fast as i do with lvl 50 gear. but i would take more dmg, not much though. i have 2.7k heath with all my gear on and 2.5k without any gear on. and 8% evade with gear and 7% without. gold is hard to come by. so far i've gotten 1 gold and 87 silver at lvl 52. i've seen lvl 40's with horses, which cost 3 gold to be able to ride. the only way i think they got it was by the bank bug, or pooling money from multiple chars.

death seems to be the fastest way to travel. you are able to spawn at any graveyard when you die, you could tele 1k meters with 1 death. with only a -2 attack and magic rating debuff, dieing doesn't mean anything. i often see people asking me to kill them for a teleport.

 that's all i've seen so far. still not max lvl so don't know what end game is like.

Basketball, read or watch a movie.

anyone else see how freakin huge the battle keeps are? how do they expect a 48v48 battle there? it's like a needle in a haystack. O.o

you won't even use half of the battle field, if it's just 48v48.

i think they will raise the cap soon

i haven't been able to log into forums and i'm an ea player

woot

no problems for me personally but my wife's game has been completely messed up since the sunday patch. don't even bother trying to /petition I sat in the same slot (#8) for an hour. she gets client lock up's (when she can get in) unable to connect to server messages, and flashing black screen to game dieing.

and I don't get to play. ;(

 

all this after the game ran great for her on Saturday.

yea seemed like everyone ran the game perfectly before this patch. now alot of people are having problems. let's hope they fix it fast, and not have another 8 hour server downtime just to fix the problem they made.

my patcher works and i'm able to log into the servers, i just can't play cause i get a lock up after a minute or so.

my patcher works.

 still can't play cause of the lockup thing.

well other people that i talked to say that it's a little more choppier then before. but no lockups or bsod

and they don't have amd's

There are already a hojillion posts on this on both the General & Technical forums.

I believe all of the setups are multi-core, a majority of them are AMDs with nVidia 8800 flavour cards.

There have been a handful that don't fit that bill, but...it's definitely raging atm.

that's my build

3rd time i  tired i got about a min then boom lock up again.

scared to log in now.

but my friend seems to be doing fine. just a little bit choppier from before patch. not to bad she says tho.

anyone else getting poor performance after this last patch?

so far i logged in 2 times and after about 30 secs my computer completely locked up and i had to hold down my power button to shut it off.

Some questions about assassins...

• is assassin the best at stealth ? I know the other rogueish class can do it but im assuming assassin is tops
• Are they gimped or powerful in solo combat ?
• viable for future raids ?
• do they rely on health pots a lot ? i ask this to help decide my crafting prof

one question about the melee combat system.

I know from reading others posts about how they hotkey and such that its clear these players dont use the keyboard / mouse like I do. So Im concerned this combat style might be too difficult for me. I dont ever use WASD for movement, Im old-school and always use the arrow keys. Its just easier for me and I dont miss-hit the E or another key ever. Also, I dont ever hit the F keys to do attacks. I always click them on the toolbar with my mouse.

Is this a viable way for me to do this new combat system ? Will I be able to click the directional thingies and toolbar attacks with my mouse, thus leaving my left hand for arrow key movements ?

I really like the idea of roleplaying an assassin but im concerned the melee combat system is going to be too difficult for me to accomplish with the way I play my keyboard.

assassin is the best stealther but not by much. and not only can rogue archtypes stealth, but all classes in game are allowed to stealth. they just get them at different lvls, the speed is different, and you need stamina to stealth if you arn't a rogue archtype.

from 1-20 they were powerful in solo content.

i don't think any can tell you how viable assassins are for raids yet. we will have to wait till people start raiding.

i didn't have to use any pots. but if you go lotus spec you will have a lot of healing possibilities from your feat tree.

if you don't plan on doing alot of pvp then you should be fine using the arrow keys to move and clicking your abilities with your mouse. the way it works now, once you activate a combo you have about 5 secs to use each directional attack in the combo.

in pvp you will have some troubles. the faster you do combos the more dmg you do. it's just faster to press each button with your fingers then it is to click each button with your mouse, once you get used to it. also you have to take your eyes off of the battle to click a hotbar button. the fights are so fast in pvp that every half second counts.

i turn off my ooc and just talk on vent with people i'm playing with. that's the best way to avoid the village idiots.

What is being unmentioned here is that there is an ability gained which improves your chance of detecting a stealthed enemy.

Stealth isn't foolproof.

i believe perception increases the chance you will make a char leave stealth if you use the search ability.

you are also able to hear stealth players walking around so if you hear more then your own footsteps be ready with the search button.

as far as i have seen. stealth is undetectable. you will never see a stealthed char. maybe they changed this since open and pvp betas.

this is strictly from a pvp point of view. as a rogue.

pve mobs can see you from a screen away sometimes.

I entered credit card info, updated account, added authentication key. Account status says open, but when I hit play game and get passed ll the movies and such, I enter my username and password and it says authentication failed. I have triple checked everything and the username and password works on the website for my account.  And w/o a phone # to call for support, Im feeling kinda screwed. Any thoughts on why im having this difficulty?

your account won't be activated till the 20th when the real launch is. the only players allowed to access the servers are the people allowed into the early access program.

Everyone gets the skill "HIde."   Rogues have an advantage, of course, but Hide is useful for we squishy (Priest of MItra) characters who want to try sneaking past an unwanted battle or two.  Further, the fact that it eats my stamina means I am not 'stealthing' since I will be done hiding within a few moments.

all you have to do is stop and wait for your stamina to regen. that's how it worked in pvp beta and open beta.

Err, why can everyone stealth ?

i think it's more balanced the way stealth works in this game. and it adds another element to ambushes and pvp in general.

you never know what's comming when you try to gank someone.

How limited is the PVE server type in terms of pvp?  Will the seiges still be an option along with the minigames?  Does a PVE server just lose the world pvp?  Ive always been into pvp but if all I'm losing by going on a pve server is ganking/being ganked then I could live without it.  Is there any other type of pvp Id lose?  Has Funcome said anything about server transfers in the future?

you get all the pvp of borderkingdoms in pve servers. you just don't get world pvp outside borderkindoms.

they get mini game pvp also.
