sad news, thanks for the reply!

Hello, my friend just bought AoC last night and he said he got some type of buddy pass, Im pretty sure he said it is a 7day pass but he didn't sound to for sure.

Anyways , question is, Is there a way to download the client before entering the buddy code? Im afraid its going to take atleast more then a day to download on my slow internet.

Just want to make the best out of the trial, hate to miss couple days gametime just trying to get the client.

Thanks ahead of time!

I would really appreciate a buddy pass, thanks in advance.

 ddubarchlord@hotmail.com thanks!

Seems like AoC is getting wowified!

Thats just crazy, they are taking the conan out of age of conan lol

I will say that some classes are a little more powerful then some of the other classes in soloing PvE. But vanguard isn't really built around soloing,alot more group stuff to do then solo.  It has a dot system, mobs will have 1 dot up to 6 dots. 1dot being very easy 6 dot being boss/named type mobs.

The beginner quests from about lvl 1-15ish, are 1 dot monsters and 2 dot monsters with a few 3dot monsters. The challenge sets in quite abit at around lvl 15-20ish. once you hit lvl 25+ most of the quests you get will be for 3dot/4dot mobs. 3dot being kinda easy depending on your class, 4 dot being pretty hard, few classes can solo 4dots relativily easy, then others just get owned by 4dots.

 I dont see how people say this game is just easy, It took me quite awhile to hit lvl 29 on my paladin. And the ammount of times I have died is way more then I can count. And you LOSE XP when killed.

All in all, I have had a ok experience with VG. Great community, fun group gameplay. If your looking to max a character out in a week or two, then stay away from vg. Things dont come very easy in vg.

I dont hitch anymore yaaaay, thanks for all the replys.

that is great to hear, thanks for the fast reply. here I come VG, hit me up on Xeth server Caananite lvl 24 paladin.

Hello, I cancelled my subscription about 3 months ago, because I have a rather low end computer. I used to hitch fairly bad, was just wandering if the new latest patch had fixed the hitching problem, or atleast fixed it a little bit.

When I used to hitch I would hitch across a dungeon and somehow teleport back to my group, which lead to me dragging all the mobs back with me, my group wouldn't even see me lag, it was strange. But really that was the only thing that made me cancel my sub.

Did the new patch increase performance for you? How well is the Anti-Hitching code working?

Don't really care if he exploited or not personally. To me its Funcoms thought they left so many exploits in game after release. They should of tested their game better in beta.  All the exploitsmust have  carried over from beta. I don't like cheaters either but seems like Age of conan had alot exploits out of beta. If people could find all these exploits in first week and half of beta they should of been justa s easily found in beta before the release. I don't expect all exploits to be found in beta but seems like Age of Conan still had quite a number of exploits post launch.

 Yeah bad part on funcom for having there restricted  beta. But you said it man, They should have cared more about testing the game before release, and less about trying to get people to pay to play a restricted beta.

Im curious what type of computers the OP  low/mid machines are. The brand type, dell compaq etc.

Im running a dell, 512mb ram, 2.8ghz, ATI radeon x1050 128mb video card.

I ran the tutorial fairly well, well enough to run 3 diffrent classes threw it. Playing in the pvp matches was a little diffrent but I didn't even expect to run the game period.

Im just curious why my crap rig will run it fairly smooth with graphics on low. When people with 2x better computer then I are having problems with it.

All the naysayers can keep on naysaying because funcom did one hell of a job with age of conan. Honestly they did such a good job I dont think I will ever be able to play a Point and click mmorpg the same way ever again.

I cant agree more with the OP. All I can say about this game is WOW ITS THE BOMB. I was really excited to find out my 512mb ram, 128mb video card could run this game! Not at top notch graphics but even with the graphics toned down as low as they will go I still am amazed at the beautiful world hyboria holds.

Funcom is definatly getting a pre-order special edition from me!

I haven't received my email but was told to check this link. To my surprise my beta code and downloads were all right there. This might help you all who are bummed over no email.

woo tyvm, ill see you on PVP weekend, Be rdy muhahaha

I was thinking about trying out eq2 again, it has been 2 or 3 years since I have played the game. I had a couple of questions to ask that maybe some of the vets could help me with.

Is there faction, like eq 1 grinding orcs in ec or wc would allow a evil character to enter freeport once the faction was high enough. Does eq2 have this? or something similar?

The pvp servers, are they just all ffa pvp or how does that work? good vs neutral vs evil? please explain.

thanks for taking time out of your day to answer my questions.

I wouldn't call vanguard a grindfest, because there are alot of other things to do besides adventure. Crafting and diplomacy is its own game, but just to achieve lvl 50 in adventuring I would say max 2-3months at 3-4 hrs a day, I made lvl 30 in a week in real time i put maybe 2-4hrs a day.

There really shouldn't be a moment in vanguard that you have to just go out and kill the same mobs over and over again to lvl, because there is always quests to do, most of the time i get a little frustrated with having 20 or so quests in my log book.

But really all in all if you had a good guild or some friends that you played with hitting 50 would be a breeze, the only thing that slows me down questing/xping is finding groups for the quests because 75% of the quests in game are made for small or medium sized groups.

I can tell you this once you hit 50 it sure does feel like a achievement. its not a game where your gonna hit max lvl within a week even if u play hardcore.

I agree with you Czzar.

To me character customization isn't very important, I could care less what my characters face looks like, when im just going to be putting a helmet on.

Honestly I cant think of many games that has had great character customization, Vanguard seemed to have a pretty good character customization, but the downfall of that is, 1 yr later helmets are just now getting implemented....

As for free 2 play, I havn't found many that has had more then 5 hair choices lol.
