• • Performance roblems. Please Help

  • I have literally a less then one year old rig. It ran Age Of Conan on high flawlessly. (Or as much as the game allowed) Same with LOTRO, Very High, no lag what so ever.

    But in Warhammer, about once a minute or so, my game just lags and freezes for 2-5 seconds and gets slightly choppy. I can't figure out why. Here are my settings:

    Operating System: Windows Vista™ Home Premium (
    System Manufacturer: Gateway
    System Model: GT5670
    Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) 8400 Triple-Core Processor (3 CPUs), ~2.1GHz
    Memory: 3070MB RAM
    Page File: 1874MB used, 4505MB available
    DirectX Version: DirectX 10
    Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT

    Display Memory: 1756 MB
    Dedicated Memory: 477 MB
    Shared Memory: 1279 MB
    Current Mode: 1024 x 768 (32 bit) (60Hz)

    So what am I doing wrong here? I've tried it on every setting and I can't figure out why I am getting such poor perfomance.

    Help! I am not too great with computer specifics ><

• • My Warhammer Experience... Thus Far!

  • I've read so many annoyingly negative posts that I thought I'd pipe up. Granted, I don't have as many posts as most of the folks here, but I hope we can all look past that and take some merit in my opinion anyways.

    I am having a blast. It is a nice refreshing change for me, and quite frankly I dig it. I have my concerns just like everyone else, but I am having a fantastic time.

    First off, I have played just about every MMO to date. Granted, I haven't been around since the early days, and my first MMO was the Masochist Party that is FFXI, but I've been around. So here's where I stand.

    I play a Black Orc. Not just a Black Orc, but a Brawler Black Orc. I am a big tough bastard and I genuinely enjoy knocking people around with no remorse or regret. I shout WAAAAGH before I charge into battle, and I spam my /cheer emotes constantly just to hear the OI OI OI. I am rank 30 and RR 25.

    I have my gripes of course. There are many glitches which annoy the Hell out of me, but they appear to be very on the ball of fixing. My first was the Mob Pathing. I've tried both the Squig Herder and the White Lion, and couldn't do either for long because of how annoying it was to send your pet in, have it glitch, then not be able to hit the Mob what so ever because of out of range glitches. It was especially annoying on the white lion because most of your good attacks are Positional.

    This they claim to fix today. So I forgive.

    Other small stuff annoys me. I have Four hot bars. When I relog they have all switched abilities. Everytime I zone, my cloak reapears, even if I have it turned off.

    As I said, Small stuff.

    But for the rest, I love it. I can Level completely by PVP. This brings me extreme joy, for there is nothing more satisfying then crushing someone's skull with my big choppa.

    The public quests (When others are doing them) are exciting. Even if no one else is, the grind to get to Elite isn't so crappy that I get flustered, and the rewards are genuinely fantastic. (And if they aren't, I got two other chapters to check out to see if they are)

    Granted, End Game is gonna have to be sweet to keep me excited, but as of right now, I am having a really good time.

    I think the issue is, the MMO crowd is very jaded and bitter. I'm not sure if a perfect game will ever come out. But if we find one little thing wrong with it, we all flip and spam posts.

    And then I look at the whole problem and go.... Man, a community based on hypothetical video games.

    Folks, we need to get out more.

  • The issue is not that Blizzard is "Doing" something about it. The issue is the Blizzard takes their sweet time to  "Do" something about it. Just like everything else Blizzard does, they spend months discussing anything before they decide to make a change. Spammers can go for ages before they do anything.

    Mythic's more aggressive approach is infinitely more refreshing.

    My only sadness is, the gold spammers themselves don't get to share in their own humiliation. I do like the hanging them in the gallows concept for all time.

• • I thought this game wasn't supposed to have stealth...

  • I'm tickled pink that the class that dominated Tier 2 is complaining because they don't dominate Tier 3 as well.

     

    Tier 3 is going to be a fun place.

     

    And I'm a Black Orc, so I don't really care about this stealth nonsense.
