also i ve several friends reporting similar issues . i know plenty in these forums are saying it runs well but most seam to be playing on high spec gaming machines . which i guess is what you d expect in a gaming forum really .

dont get me wrong . i m not trolling i think conan looks like a great game . if only it ran well enough on my system to play it .

i have the same pc as you but i got vista and i run 40 fps on med settings in aoc after this last patch,

Ive done some pvping on my Assassin and here is my thought about it.

 

After the very first attack in stealth. Obviously you can't restealth? "Ima just run here *point* and vanish, kay?"

 

Sounds stupid and not very good in my ears.

 

A rogue without stealth is still a mighty foe. Agile "dancer" that stings you with venom and weakens you until it's time to give the final blow.

It's sad to see how people think Rogue/assassin = Stealth attacks.

And oh, i love how backstab and such doesn't exist. Instead you get stealth attack damage instead. Just learn how to use your skills :)

Ive beaten many foes with my assassin, and ive fallen to quite a few for dumb actions and trying out new styles. So yeah.. It's fresh to me and im loving it.

 

yep but being locked out of stealth for actions you arn't even in control of doesn't make sense :S. i can't stealth cuase someone that i can't see and is on the other side of the map decided to attack someone.  kinda broken logic there.

 

And yeah, forgot about that. Was going to write it but uh o.o

That one thing bugs me the most. If my allies are 400 metres away from me (let's say it like that) and decides to enter combat. I should be able to stealth because im not in combat at all. I hope they will fix just that one issue. Then im satisfied with being an assassin :3

100% agree

i'm all for a timer or something or a line of sight for stealth it'll help me for killing runners, instead of them just going stealth right in front of my eyes.

it really adds another layer, when all classes in game can stealth so you never actually know if there is another person learking around waiting for you to take the bait. :D the baiting tatic in the beta works really well.

mezz shot from rangers breaks after the first hit i believe

the rogue archtype.

assassin

barbarian

ranger

are all rogue archtypes

then it's called a mez

funcom calls it a root in thier game. so i call it a root :)

yea fatalites are up. i've been getting them alot. kinda dangerous tho, seeing as how you get a 20% dmg buff with a fatality and a bunch of stamina but fun to watch.

i'm ready for the pvp event! wish they'd tell us when the servers are gunna come back up.

roots has a chance to break on hit after this latest patch. i personaly love the addition.

overall i'd say the patch was very well done by funcom. about 99% of the people in game that i've talked to said it was an imporvement.

truely the best patch ever. my fps went from .5 to 40 no matter what i do i can't drop my fps. it's truely amazing

GREAT PATCH!

it's not a cooldown but in fact a group combat. if one member is in combat then all members of your group are in combat.

it's a retarded function. totally kills the assassins survivability in pugs. basicly meaning you can't stealth for over 70% of the game. a cooldown after leaving a battle would be a better fix.

if it stays as it is you might as well just roll a ranger for thier crazy amout of hp and medium armor. making them a soilder survivability with the dps of a rogue.

good move

the pvp is all about groups. if you don't work together you'll never win. most people join a mini game just to mess around and kill people. but stick it out and hope for a group that wants to win, if that's really what you want.

most of what he quoted is still a problem. but balance always takes time, and we haven't really seen anything about end game pvp so who knows if anything needs fixing. of course theres always some tweaking to be done.

We can speculate about post level 20 combat. All you need to do is some simple research, you think mechanics will somehow drastically change for no reason? The root will also becomes a 20 second root at higher level and I see no root break ability on any of the guardian or conqueror feets

If you played the pvp beta or watch some videos you would know what I'm talking about, this game is not complicated, the only thing that changes when you gain levels is your damage for most melee classes, the soldiers get zero CC breakers, and classes need to be balanced by lvl 20, not until lvl 80

what class did you play in pvp beta?

rangers don't have the same 1 shot ability that they had in the pvp beta. but they still have amazing survivablity. rangers can have more hp then a concorer, but mainly the maps gives rangers an advantage most of the time, in the mini games at least.

stuns are still an instant win. 12 sec stuns will get you killed no matter what. once you cast a spell it will always go through, no matter what. you could run past 2 walls and 100 yards but still will get hit by it.

every melee class can get a stun proc but it's very short. kiting melee is still a big problem. you can kite a melee endlessly untill your able to stealth again. hell you could kite a caster till you get stealth, just a bit harder.

why did it come down? anyone know?

someone in the global channel said they are implementing a 4 gig update. but they are the most creditable sorce.

Or is there any site where i can test how my pc will run with this game? Thank you

I noticed there was a considerable drop in smoothness after you entered the store (pub?) and npcs were displayed on screen. Before that it had been smoother, but that was also just running through an empty environment.

How does it run during combat, and most importantly, since this is an MMO, how does it run with other players? If npcs are enough to cause a noticable slowdown, I can't imagine what a couple players would do.

 

 

since i'm lvl 13 now all i do is play pvp mini games. there is 0 freezes with 12 people on my screen fighting.

12 people rofl wow big accomplishment

  well he said a couple and i gave him my experience with how players effect performance.
 :)
