    So yeah, after looking at the system requirements for this game, I thought my PC would be able to run it at least on medium settings well enough, turns out that's not the case. I get low fps pretty much all the time at balanced settings on 1440x900. I only made animation high quality. If I'm in a capital citry forget it, game runs like a slide show and the same for any crowded area. Weird thing is, the game doesn't even look all that great, from a technical standpoint(I like the art style).

     

    Games like EQ2, Lineage II, LOTRO, all looked far better(if artistically not as interesting), and yet I never have FPS issues on those games, even on high settings. WoW is also far from the best looking game out there, but at least it runs like a dream and the art work makes everything look nice and creative, if blocky. This strikes me as odd since I thought they needed the game to run well, because they want that whole large scale battle thing. Now my PC is admittedly old and not cutting edge, but it runs the games I mentioned well enough. Here are my specs again:

    Nvidia GeForce 7800GTX 256MB
    Pentium 4 3.4GHZ
    2GB of RAM
    Windows XP SP3

    I checked System Requirements Lab and I pass it with flying colors and get similar reults that I do with Tabula Rasa, which also performs very well on my machine. Speaking of that site though, one thing I noticed was that for my Processor, it gives me some weird statistics. It says I have two CPUs running, and that I'm running at "3.40 GHz Performance Rated at 5.10 GHz". WTF?

    Anyways, help me make this game playable, because I really do like it so far.

     

    This PC should run the shit out of the WAR code... You would even run AoC on medium or highish setting with this Rig. In other word there is something very wrong or bugged when you need latest and greatest to run last decades graphics (namely WAR).

     

    Your funny.

    My PC out-maxes that spec times 12, and I still cant run AoC on max settings in any situation (inc. Sieges and raids) where my FPS will drop below 30. OP's spec cannot run AoC at all but should be able to run WAR decently.

    And OP, the reason why you get the message ''performance rated at 5.10 ghz'' is that the ol' pentium 4's actually have a standard and a '''virtual''' core, which is like a fake dual core, not offering the same performance but offering the same statistics.

    If your getting stutters in the game, check hardware conflicts, your amount of RAM, and if you dont have conflicting RAM (i.e a mix of different brands and speed types).

• • Which class is for me?

  • In AoC, I play a Conqueror; Heavy Armor (which is just below plate) dual weilding maniac with quite some utility to it. The DPS you can dish out in PvP is really nice and there a lot of fun to play, plus you can soak up quite some damage due to the heavy armor.

    In WoW I played a rogue, I liked the damage output but I didn't like the squisheyness. I wouldn't mind sacrificing some of that damage (SOME) for more survivability.

    So here's my questions, what character would suit my style in WAR? I've been interested in the marauder but he seems too much of a...just rush in, do damage and die quickly type of class. Then the swordmaster caught my eye but they don't seem to put out damage. Then the witch hunter caught my eye but they seem to be extremely squishy.

    Can anyone offer me some advice please? =)

    General Discussion
• • Will there be PvE in WAR?

  • Will there be a lot of PvE content in WAR, or only to level up? Will there be endgame raids? Or is the endgame entirely PvP focused like Guild Wars?
