    So this is AoC's idea of PVP? Threats of bans from a GM (with bad grammar) for killing players?

     

    hmm...

     

     

    
    Seems like the Report may have been griefing, If people are spawn camping another player for 30 mins to an hour... thats kinda lame.

    True yes it's a PvP server... Anf that rule set is somewhat unfair and abit tiresome after a while, especialy if your running solo and/or in a small guild.

    I Think the GM was just trying to get the guys to back off a bit, as we do not see all the details in those screenies.

    Either way, Game CO's need to make a design element to help reduce these problems, Yeah it's easy to say tuff it's a PvP server, but then again I hardly think it's fair if lets say 3-5 lvl 30's are ganking one lvl 20ish player.

    easy solution is to add immunitiy for a minute or 2 for fresh zoning. Have a lvl CAP for PVP, can only attack others that are in a +/- 3 range of your charachter. Or even a different PvP server rule set server with those implamented.

    Either Way if a GM is asking players to back off on a PvP server... they musta been ganken that dude for a long time

    I happily shelled out £35 today. After a few hours of installation and patching - I was very excited to see what AoC had to offer.

     

    And 7 hours and 3 characters later: My cancellation reason to Funcom:

    Extremely repetitive. No freedom of movement nor exploration. No way to skip cut-scenes. Cringe when I have to create chars - story extremely linear. TERRIBLE voice acting and accents. Non fluid char movements and control response.

    Makes me sad. :(

    Basically its a bad version of Guild Wars with an enhanced LOTR-ish feel with very awkward arcade key-mashing. Looks and feels good initially - wears of very quickly.

    On the plus side: Good gfx. Good music.

    Sigh. Flame me all you want, but  when you have played lot of MMOs as I have, you know can tell a true gem from the rest.

    Regards.

    Extremely repetitive.... sounds like an MMO.

     

    No freedom of movement.... Well, they did say this game was going to be zoned, and WAS NOT an open world mmo... so bad judgement on your part

    Cut-sceans... must not be hitting the write buttons.

    Voice acting... sub par? { Mod Edit }

    As far as the last 2. must not have enough in your system to play the game effectively

    this is not the best mmo ever, this has the best graphics for an mmo ever. the game is very rushed, the item lore is very generic and you dont feel rewarded for the items. in WOW sometimes i get items the make me feel like im leveling and getting stronger. in AOC items with +0.1 rating will likely still be on your body at level 22. makes no since and WTF is +0.1? Tortage is the very weak, they should have not had tortage night. They should of just had you level to 10 in the day and let you leave the island. 20 level to get off the island is way to much in such a small area. Tortage night was put in so they could double up the same small area, make you grind the same area twice to seem bigger. and you all fell for it. the graphics are great, im sure this game will be a million times better in a year, i will wait. I am cool with WOW right now. I am a graphics whore, but i love gameplay even more, AOC fell short, i feel like im going backwards when playing conan.

    LOL

    Originaly tortage was meant to be singleplayer, afterwords they decided to make it open and multiplay, and thus tortage night was made using the singleplayer questline.

• • Sup with Dark Templar's Slam Ability?

  • As the NPC's get tougher in level, most have a certain knockback resistance...

    As i have noticed with my conqueror, wich has slam, in the begining it knocked them on thier hind ends almost all the time, then as the mobs got higher in level, it would only knock them back a few feet but they were left standing. then it started to only cause them to shield thier front, wich has it's uses as it opens up the sides for some combo's. This makes me think that knockback resistance starts to play a roll.

    As i got closer to lvl 20 i got a newer ability, forgot the name, but it does basicly the same thing as slam, i am assuming it will diminish in effectiveness as i get higher in lvls.

    try some of your lower level ability's on a target, you'll notice that they resist or block them more frequently then your higher lvl abilities.

• • World is just as instanced past level 20 as it was before

  • Hmm.. from the point of this game ever being labled an open world mmo... not true, has been said it was instanced/zoned to keep the quality of gfx high.....just cause you can't reserch a game properly before you buy... not the games fualt.
