Heh, I never said my analogy was any good! :)

Oh yeah. I also hope Funcom corrects most of the problems, though I'm not sure a lot of people appreciate having to pay a monthly fee just to get bugs fixed..

/J.

True you didn't.. also that idiot that said you review was biased because you said people shouldn't buy the game needs to reread the post title "slightly unbiased" .. which is not "unbiased."

Jumping.  /boggle.  What physical deformity causes characters to jump like they do?  Really.  Fix this please.

 

I laughed so hard :)

You make several valid points, and I agree, the thing you refer to as "mechanical assembly" is what I called "low budget feel". It kinda feels like most desktop-linux-distros out there - They look great, but are horridly put together.

Lets hope I didn't start an OS war here :/

Someone post a link for Digital Download please. I cant find it...

If you don't have the download link from http://register.ageofconan.com then it's pointless for you to download it and waste our bandwidth and I'm certainly not going to give that info away.

Ya I'm not using the net tonight other than checking the boards so I dont mined if they eat my upload, and they cant do much with out a key to activate the account so I'm none to woried about a leaked DL link other than making it that much harder for the few that might still be out there that have EA but for what ever reason dont have the DL done yet.

 

I got my box set to day as well over nighted from Gamestop, a nice supprise even though I alredy had it DLed. Looks like we should be up an playing in 12hrs or so; so see ya in AoC.

 

1 question, I know how to use the DL client but dont see a method for viewing the peers; not that it matters just wondering how you know the number of clients hitting you?

open up a command prompt and type "netstat -an" -- that will show a list of all connections.  The ones associated to torrents are usually over port 20000.  Their client does not give you this information.

Well unfortunately I am pretty sure a lot of the people that are downloading this client don't even have early access keys and just want a copy of the game so there's a lot of wasted bandwidth going around.  My peer list keeps going up.  Whoever leaked the download link is an idiot...

Bump. Come on guys help out the rest of the community and upload to the poor folk.

I just finish talking to Funcom support. If everyone that has finished downloading would please reconnect you client. Especially those of you that have fast connections. It would greatly help those that haven't finished downloading. We need fast peers to complete this process for the slower peers. Your software will still upload even though you have finished downloading.

The reason my connection speeds are poor is because too many fast connections have left the peer network. You got your download then left the connection. It wasn't with malice. By reconnecting you can bolster the network.

 

Going back to seeding until tomorrow.

EDIT: Holy $%#@ there's a lot of people that still need this client.

There is no .torrent but there is wine.

Nope haven't tried but I doubt it's out of the realm of possibility.   Would be interesting to see what kind of FPS one could get though.

Anyone that says it can't be done does not understand that gold farmers use the same account and play in shifts around the clock.  Yes it can and will be done.

Anyone complaining about the number of people that can participate in siege warfare needs their head examined.  I don't think people realize that 96 people is a lot for a pvp match.  There will still be massive lag at that number.

Needs more loading screens while running around.  Anyone know if they plan on adding more?  Definitely not enough.  Of course its still "beta".  One can only hope.

Your sig analogy is horrible and who cares if you get a load screen? Don't you play any single player games?

I agree with you on this. I was going to play Conan, however i think its a joke.  Even the way the player runs in the game, who runs like that, you look retarded.

 

I also agree, a game that is due to come out should run much better and your right its beta, however they patch if, we play and they patch it we play... thats how they fix it, its a very poor game and it will not be the next big mmorpg,  now lets see what happenes with warhammer as conan is like eq2, they shot themselfs in the foot.

 

The only thing this game has going for it is the graphics, however the plants that turn with you as you walk by is also very cheezey

Two posts in 5 and a half years.. you deserve an award.  With such great credibility behind you I expect you to change the minds of thousands of people pondering if they should play this game.

Sorry did not use medium settings as the game was quite enjoyable on high settings.  8800gtx.  My FPS was between 40-70.

I was telefragged in team annihilation.

I also thought it was funny when I was spawned in the middle of our team's totem during one instance and could not be killed until our totem was finally knocked down... I think I killed 12 people from AOE's....

There are a few annoying bugs for me during the fileplanet beta (in no particular order of importance.)

Pleas feel free to comment or add/repeat on this list:

1) The PVP minigame score, which was supposedly fixed, was still bugged sometimes.

2) The hide ability was bugged

3) Swimming meant walking on the bottom of water

4) People that were disconnected or logged out still showed up in groups

5) The feat fixer in tortage caused a cutscene that forced me to have to kill the game

6) The ignore function only worked by adding a person as a friend

And what about annoyances that could be changed?

1) Pets should not be allowed in cities as they create unnecessary lag

2) The chat window got in my way -- I couldn't find a way to just remove it from my screen

3) The amount of time you can sprint is the same regardless of your stamina or class

Probably more to come but these hit me first...

Interesting stuff Slippy, thanks for the contribution.

Hopefully this will address the following PVP issues:

 

Right now pvp is kinda [MOD EDIT].  If you can't hide, you are basically bait for someone that can hide or you're just an idiot looking to get [MOD EDIT].  So far I would say the best class for PVP is ranger.   The reason being is because it can deal out shitloads of damage from long range and still has the ability to do it with stealth.  You can't beat the stun shot from stealth mode either. They also get medium armor and great HP/Stamina.

Assasin is probably second and Barbarian third.  I haven't played either but from what I can see on the battlefield is how I rate them. They are both good DD's in PVP.

Soldiers pretty much suck, but they can at least take some hits.  Conqueror (with the best DPS) can do some damage but all in all the tank class is a joke right now with the level cap at 13.  They aren't even worth killing if there are other classes around.  That's how pathetic they are.

If you play a mage class you will get owned.  Plain and simple.  Regardless if you are ToS you are going to get singled out and you will go down quick.  For the people reading this that disagree with me, you are playing with noobs.  (As a ranger) I can two time a mage class.  Healing is crap.  It does not do nearly enough for the amount of damage dished out at this level.

I can't speak for Herald of Xotli or Demonologist since I don't play them, but what I can say from what I see is that they are "ok" but Demonologist seems to be better, maybe even 4th on the list.

Necromancer = the suck.  Their pets do minimal damage and they have low HP so they can't take much damage.  A decent thing about them is they can hide.  I can, however, see this class being awesome later.  Also, their pets aren't half bad at keeping others from hiding because of the constant damage they do.

Lastly, CTF is redundant.  Most people that do CTF don't even give a shit about the flag.  There is rarely any team work involved and it's just a gank fest with the rogue classes waiting on someone to grab the flag and stab them in the back when they are going back to their base. 

One might also say team annihilation is a gank fest too but at least people attempt to knock out the others totem (usually) which can require teamwork.

I'm now a little stupider having read this post.

Actually, if you already knew all that, then that wouldn't make you stupid, it wouldn't have changed anything.  And if you didn't know that, then you gained knowledge.  Either way, it can't affect you that way.

Soco, a little tip mate. 

If you roll a Ranger on the PvP server when the game goes live you are in for a very rude awakening.  Its one of the worst PvP classes.  Also, you said mage classes will get owned, well you are in for another shock there, Demonologist is the most overpowered class in the game by a country mile.

Sorry, I cant go into specifics, but as you know NDA is still in effect for closed beta.

 

 

Thanks for the heads up but as you see I am only stating what happens during OB -> lvl 13.  I am still undecided what class to roll first.
