If you dislike Guild Wars and don't have a fast running rig, don't buy it. A lot of stuff is very linear, doing the low level stuff is fun the first time but gets very boring fast, I have a good rig (year old) and the game runs like crap. The game only runs well for those with the latest Nvidia cards.

I canceled my preorder on the third day of EA.

Biggest load of BS I ever read in a single post.

 

 

 

 Why because his opion is not same as yours? ALOT of us see it as being alot like guild wars.You fanbois kill me let ppl have there opion.Game does run like crap for alot of ppl not sayin it is games fault more than its just random odd stuff same as how some ppl can/could run vanguard with no problems at all while others with super comps could not get it to play right at all.

 

   Really hate rabid fanboi's I dont care what game it is be it AoC,WAR,WoW w/e your like lil bandwagon ppl who jump on board and switch from one game to another because you suck at all of them so somethin new comes along to catch your Add attention span it instantly becomes greatest game ever,

 

 

Your obviously 13 and can't spell, so stay with your WoW. But seriously, I am no fanboy and was complaining about the crashing/etc during beta. However those bugs were ironed out last night, and they did pull off a miracle patch somehow. The performance is perfectly fine, of course your not going to be able to play on a year-2 year old PC. New technology comes out every week, if you can't keep up with it and buy a few upgrades once a year then don't play.. it's simple. Yes the first 20 levels are like Guild Wars(alot actually), after that though the game opens up. First 20 are for tutorial purposes and to drag you into the storyline, which it does a good job.

People just don't get it, I don't want your "assurance" I want to read for myself what is happening with the launch.  This isn't a post topic about "what your exp is with launch " or " your assurance "that everything is fine, this is a post that is pointed to the concerns about being able to collect information from a games official site to determine if you want to buy the game....  THe opinions , and that is all I am reading here , opinions of the launch are all the same" everything is fine , nothing to see here."  I find that very hard to believe when the game is using the 3.0 shader and requires a tremendous ammount of power to run ...

 

 

No offense to people who want to viocce on there view or opinion of the launch , this is amerely a fact that people should have the right and priveldge to look on a officail web forum to see if this is the game for the...

OK then what was this thread for? And we are players giving feedback just like players are doing on the official forums..

Agreed, if it ran like crap on your old PC then you most likely didn't play it. The first 20 are linear, then the game actually opens up after level 20 and is a helluva lot more fun.

I'd have to say so far this is the best launch on a MMO I have seen, no server lag/crashes/game breaking bugs. Funcom really pulled off the "miracle patch" this time, I could see this one competing with WoW after a while.

I can assure you the game is running perfect for a launch, a few glitches here and there but I havn't had a crash today yet. However last night they did release a patch that totally messed up anyone using a AMD processor. I waited 8 hours to login yesterday and then when I loaded up AoC and killed a mob I had a hard crash(had to reboot), and the forums went crazy. Anyone with an AMD processor was not able to play, BSOD's. However they shut the servers down and I believe did a rollback and now it works fine. But that was resolved very quickly, and through EA I had no issues other than last night. I logged on this morning, and no issues anymore. I am up to level 16(granite not high) and so far I really like the game. Not repetitive like other MMO's I played.

I have been playing through EA and am up to level 16 with a Conqueror, at work today :(. But I am off the next two days and bought another 2gb of RAM. I am able to run the game flawlessly without the RAM(full settings, 30-40 FPS) but it every once in a while I get a "jitter" most likely from my 2gb of RAM, so tonight that will change(gah, have to reinstall vista to get 64 bit )

"if" your allowed to have mercs help out that will be awesome, thats what my guild is shooting for anyways MERCS ! yar.. anyways, I dunno about the respawning, I do hope it's not allowed, i mean if respawns are allowed then how do you keep your city from falling?

Now theres the timeframe deal, again speculation but if you can "schedule" the battle for any time with warning then the best strategy would be to schedule it when the other guild is.. offline? Lol, its not always about "fighting" there will be lots of that going on throughout the game. Its about tearing their shit down and  "hopefully" claiming their land, making them move or something of that nature.

I think respawning is allowed, you have the 2 hour window to keep going I think.. the way you defend the keep is to keep the defenders "Score" below your own. If there's reaches higher than yours then they can actually take the keep I think(Score is calculated on each side by k/d, buildings destroyed, areas captured, etc).

Actually I found a temporary fix, I lowered my shader to 2.0(found this on the official forum) and have been playing with no issues for the last 40 minutes.

Hey, I have been getting BSOD's since the last patch. Seems to be happening with all AMD's(single and dual cores) but I found a fix. I have lowered the shader to 2.0 from 3.0 and the crashes have stopped, been playing for about 40 minutes now :).

9AM, but good luck if you have a AMD processor unless they come out with a patch before then. No one with AMD's can play atm(BSOD's since the 8 hour break the game patch).

I read some people with single-cores are crashing as well, and some people have tried using affinity to lower it to one-core.. not helping :(.

As I posted on the other thread seems like ALL dual-core AMD processors are bsoding, tons of people on official forums are going nuts. This is sad, worked fine for me through whole EA and now only hours before the official launch they screw the game up. What happened to testing? Or how about a roll-back because this last patch didn't do anything at all for them to be down for 8 hours .

I scanned through the official forums and there's literally hundreds of posts about it already, apperently it is ALL AMD dual-core processors. Have not seen a intel one reported yet. Nothing to do with drivers, I have the latest. So much for playing tonight, gah and a good launch. Sad right before launch in a few hours this happens(good luck tomorrow people).

It freaked me out lol, never seen that with my new build. But within 2 minutes of logging in I had a blue screen crash dump message and had to reboot. Great fix funcom! Way to take down the servers for 7 hours and not test your new version? I saw in the patch notes they took out the "Spawn killing" though, if they get this fixed that will be nice.

ROFL, I agree :). How about they just tell the truth from the beginning instead of leading us on?

Oh didnt see Chicago, alright not to bad I just got off work so I can watch Stargate Atlantis to fill the 50 minutes :).

OK, so what time is that in central? The link they provided doesn't show any cities in the CST, wtf is gmt anyways? Europeans make things to complicated :P(metric anyone ..)

WTF is vent?

No
