If it was the AP bug were you can keep doing the mission and get the AP reward then I think you got off lightly.

The fact you reported does not matter as you kept on doing the quest,thus getting the AP's which give's you an unfair advantage in the game.

I think the only thing that saved you from a life ban was the fact you did /bug it,though the fact that you did report it still does not mean you can do it a "few" time's and fall back on the excuse "but hey I did report it"..

Then everyone could just do that.

Im having the same kinda problems, basically the same ones i had when i was in closed beta for FE. I was setting FE out after the horrible closed beta experience i had, but i want to like it and the free trial sucked me in. First off i started DLing FE SUN and its still not half-way finished, same as beta where it took almost a week and a half to finish the DL after many many attempts and it would just stop. Then i never got outta the tutorial because i would always fall down under the elevator and /unstick or what ever it was just brought me back to the beginning and then back down the elevator, hehe. After 4 or 5 chars created and deleted and multiple falling throu the gameworld and freezes i gave up.

I play SWG, CoH, LotRO and CO on and off the last 5 years and havent had any problems and have a new PC with lasted drivers and updates. I have a AMD 64 x2 5000+ with 4 gigs of RAM and 8500 Nvidia w/ cable modem so i would think FE should run as smooth as the other MMOs i play. If i can get FE DLed before the 15 days run out ima still try it again and hopefully the falling throu gameworld/floor will be fixed.

Your video card is the issue, I'd bet. With nvidia cards it's not so much the first number in the series (in this case 8500) as it is the second number (8500). I had heard this a few years ago. One of my friends started playing FE with an 8400 card and experienced some issues. He upgraded to a 9800 and no longer had them. Heck, my wife's machine runs a 7950 GT KO and she doesn't experience the issues you talk about. Not even once.

Of the old nVidia line of cards I never bought anything that was X500 or lower. If you have a friend with an nVidia that is X600 or higher see if you can swap them out to test the game. You should see a marked difference.

Indeed the 8500/8400 are pretty poor gaming cards the only thing they bring to the table the 7 series do not is DX10,I would easily put my old 7600gt card up against a 8400/8500 any day and I know it would win.

For gaming cards in the 88xx series cards you really have to go to the 8800 cards,otherwise you aint going to do well.

 Well I am not in AUS but I am in Holland,the server is based in the US and I have no lag,well no more that the guys in the US.

I do not see this being a problem for you...well until the Sunday blue's hit :)

ps Sundays at the moment can be a real problem lag wise.

Crafting is done too much like EVE,point click and let time go by,no interaction,no chance to fail,very unrewarding and not satisfying.Being that this is maybe the biggest part of the game,to design it so half ass does not please me very well.

 

I have to ask mate ..How hard core do you want it?

I mean some items take say 8 hours to craft and you want a fail chance on top of that?

In real life I work with metal and if I said " yep give me 6 hours it will be ready" and the boss came back and I simply said "sorry it failed you lost your items and the time spent on me to make said items"..damn I would be out of a job,you learn the skill so you can MAKE the item.

The time spent and items needed is more than enough to sort out the crafters and the would be crafters.

Remember it is still supposed to be fun.

As far as buying a box, you shouldn't have to if you already have the client on your comp. Like someone else said, you can order from steam or Direct 2 Drive. Each should give you a key which is what you will need for account setup. Also, if you get it from D2D, you will get a decent horse that will last you a while in the game. I think through steam you get an ATV, but not sure. Someone else can confirm or deny that. The horse will probably be the better bet because it doesn't burn gas like the ATV, it just takes feed (go figure) which is cheaper and easy to make. Plus the horses slowly regen their stamina. Fuel is expensive, and the components to craft gas are harder to come by in S1. Picture Mad Max with a hubcap under a flipped over wreck of a car trying to catch a few drops of gas, type of hard to come by.

Well you are right and wrong.

You do not get any item from steam now,I believe you got an ingame t-shirt but not anymore,other place like D2D do give mounts.

As for ATV fuel well it is expensive to buy but in S1 you will get the mats to make fuel from around level 10 and myself at level 18 I have lots of mats for my Cargo ATV's fuel,you make 5 can's at 1 time so that is not the problem..the problem is getting to level 10 with your free ATV..I would go horse until you hit say oilville then bring out your ATV.

*walls of text crit you for 102267 damage*

*you can use the topic res chamber*

 Well just to be fair,

As much as I love FE some of the graphic drawing is quite bad,what these screen shots do not show is the drawing of shrubs and sometimes even buildings right before your eye's...even my wife(who admits she knows nothing about game's and care's even less)said it was funny how the game keeps "drawing in front of you.

Like I said I totally love this game and can not get enough but just to be fair I thought this should be mentioned to a graphic thread.

That sucks for you... on the flip side my download, install and update was comparatively quick and completely problem free. I think I have only two complaints about FE now. First are the memory leaks from hell that require that I reboot my system after every 6 or so hours of gameplay. They really need to finish optimizing the client and plug up those nasty leaks because I have a strong feeling that the root of most peoples troubles is that.

Secondly is the crafting/harvesting. Don't get me wrong, the crafting is some of the best I've seen in any MMOG and it fits the game perfectly. The problem is that as far as I can tell the only item obsoletion in the game is when you find something better. There is no item loss that I can see at all. I'm not sure that having such a great crafting system is going to be worth a hill of beans if the crafted items are meaningless because everyone can craft them, and it's all items into the system and no items out of the system... which really, really sucks, because IMO that makes it stop being special. I know it's a little late for such a core system to be changed in any significant way, but it is something that was brought up repeatedly in beta... no item loss + crafting alts = meaningless crafting.

I have not had any memory leaks so can comment on that but as for crafting,while I do agree it would be nicer if maybe there was item loss,I do know that not everyone(if even 50%) will stick with all the crafting,I just finished making my Cargo ATV and taking away the time I was crafting ammo it took me around 1 week of non-stop crafting the parts to learn and make it.

I love to craft in mmo's but even at time's when I seen another item I had to make it sort of got me down with the time to progress.

I can see quite a few giving up on most of the crafting and maybe just settle on 1 like guns,I am taking my time and leveling just about everything but that is just me.

 The Sunday problem is well known,even guys that love the game(yep I am 1)hope this will be sorted soon.

As for buying the game I bought it through steam so I am sure you can just upgrade your account,no need for a box.

What they seem to do at the moment with regards to patching is Wednesday is the patch day but if there is a problem that will cause players problems they will bring the server down for say an hour and add a patch(like today).

When I read you decided to login into UO for some mining etc I thought straight away you should give this game the benefit of the doubt for now...honest the crafting gathering will be right up your alley I think.

I personally think they were a bit quick with the trial keys as Sunday's were already bad enough before them,stick with it mate I am sure you will be glad you did.

 I will throw Fallen Earth into the mix.

Though it is not for everyone and is a FPS mmo,has not long released but does take a lot more thought than some other recent mmo release's.

Maybe something else you can look at.

I dont know, my rig is between mid-recommened specs and I never had anything like you discribe. Pretty wierd, I got two toons and pass the first quest (barrel part) and went outside and had access to plenty more. Yea, im on the buddy key too. Things that make you go hmmmm.

 

 

I'm sure it's not my rig, it latency that's the problem. I hit 90+ FPS without v-synch, i7, dual GTX 260, 6 GB DDR3, RAID0 10k RPM HDDs. I think she can handle it. =)

Honest mate it is not your system it is the Sunday blue's with this game,I run the game with no lag(I live in Holland) and have a great time,come Sunday it really is a hit and a miss,during the day it seems good(maybe as the other half of the world are sleeping) but maybe come around 6pm my time and for the rest of the night it can and does become either unplayable or goes of line.

Like I said it is a game problem and we always chat about it in game and hope they will sort it soon.

 For some reason Sunday's are a problem,I really enjoy the game but Sunday's are always a nightmare,ofc it must be because of the server-people playing,honest do not judge the game and performance on today,give it a go again during the week and you will see another side to it.

I know this may sound like a cop out but it really is not,we all cry on Sunday's atm and hope they will get this sorted,sooner rather than later but outside of this day the performance is like night and day.

I built my computer from the ground up. I have plenty of computer experience because I have worked extensively with them since I was 8 years old. I am turning 20 on the third of November.

There is my setup and I have worked with it on many different ram configurations ranging from 512 to as you see now, 3070.

Each setup was capable of running and sustaining Age of Conan.

 

You are the first one that actually said the the amount of RAM in a computer is the most forgiving part when it comes to performance. And I've spent time with the PC platform, it's hardware and discussing things with people IRL, longer then you have lived... :S

You ran AoC with 512MB RAM?
It worked well?

By all means, tell me what you think to be the most forgiving part.

 

I think I would go with the 2 little screws holding my side panel on,I also have 2 plastic clasps that lock it,so I guess if I was to take these 2 screws away it would be pretty forgiving on my system.

I dont think this would gimp my system in any shape or form unlike if I was to start lowering my RAM,CPU,PSU etc etc etc.

/Sarcasm off.

 

Nice, but I was actually speaking of parts that actually made a computer run, not the case you keep it in.

I could quite easily strip my entire system from it's case and submerge it in a tub of oil. It would run quite admirably.

Now then, of the parts it actually takes to boot up a computer? Altering the RAM used will probably change it the least, hence most RAM benchmarks maintaining about a 10 percent difference in strength.

 

Now, try the same with anything else and you are likely to see drastic changes. Try a graphics card with half of the power, you won't be able to start the game. Use half the RAM? It will still play.

Ok I am going to bite,even though what you ask is very stupid,If like me you always make sure your PSU is well above what is needed both for watts and more importantly the amps on the rails,then if I had to cut 1 thing down that would not cost me for gaming then I would lower my PSU.

My system will still run as it should but I would not have the happy buffer I prefer.

Again I would not do this but since you keep pressing for an answer I thought I would give you 1.

ps

I have big doubts you know anything about pc's except for maybe 1 or 2 words you may have overheard.

 I would love housing in the game,I think the crafting in the game is great and after 1 week of almost solid crafting I got my Cargo ATV this weekend....anyone fancy taking a stab at how long the crafting would be for a house ;)

I am not some chump over here trying to short change you people. I am telling you that you cannot run about saying this or that as truth when you have no real evidence. Suspicion does not qualify as evidence and as it stands that is all you have.

 

For a start you are using XP not Vista and XP uses alot less RAM and since the reviewer was using Vista I am still not sure you know what you are talking about.

Reducing my duo core to a single would have a drastic affect on my over all computing experience. Reducing my ram from 3 to 1? I would hardly feel a bump.

Thanks for that...never laughed so much when it came to be would be PC experts..great stuff.

My advice go buy a PS3 or an XBOX..

Please, please, go read more about computer parts before trying to discredit me without stating, in any form, evidence.

You are basically saying... "I don't agree and you are an idiot! Get an xbox!" As a reply to what I said.

Well here is the basic requirements needed also do not forget to take any other programs you need memory for,also then look to the game requirements and make sure you have enough spare memory to run the game/program...as you will see 1gb as you stated would jst be enough to run your basic programs never mind the game you are trying to play.

RAM is so one of the most important things, at least no less that anything else. If you don't believe this, just take all your ram out, put a 256MB stick in and leave it. If ram doesn't really mean anyhting you should still be able to play all games.

 

Now, he was running vista, which uses around 400-500mb on it's own. Then trying to play FE, which I have had using over 2GB on it's own.

See, with this set-up, there is just not enough RAM to go around. so there is a lot of page filing going on. Harddrives are incredibly slow compared to ram, so the game lags as it cannot swap data faast enough.

I have taken my ram out and exchanged various parts of my computer a multitude of times and of each part, RAM is by far the most forgiving.

And once more, as before, just because you -think- I did not read the review does not make it true.

This is something you will need to learn in life, everyone has an opinion and they will rarely match your own. That does not mark them as ignorant.

You have no idea what you are talking about!

What other parts can you go without(as you said more forgiving),you need all parts to make the system work ffs!

Yes you can go lower on RAM and your system will still work...as a gimped out system..again you have no idea what the hell you are talking about!

You are kidding me right?

We are done,you never read the review that is for sure and you are just trolling,that is it.
