  • I recommend Disciple of Khaine/Warrior Priest.  They are both demanding classes, requiring you to pay alot of attention to everything going on around you, and they are both pretty darn tough, too.

  • Unless you had access to the previous Preview Weekend, you can't play or patch today.  The Open Beta officially starts on the 7th (Sunday), so I think the patcher will grant us access either late tonight or early tomorrow morning.

• • Still can't decide which class to start with

  • Yeah, same problem here.  Good thing we'll have 10 days of "open beta" to help narrow the choices.

    One thing I'm going to look at is class population.  If I narrow it down to three classes, and one of the three is much less played, that's the one I'll probably take.

     I have no faith that Funcom will ever reach the "hype" they put out for the game in terms of content. So many bugs I would not even attempt to list a fraction of them. Bugs are expected in  release but I have never seen so many major issues in any game. I wentt through Shadowbane startup and it was horrible but ran like a dream compared to AoC.

    1. The armor/weapons in the game doesnt work. It simply does not give you the boost in skills the stats attached say. Simple basic part of the game doesnt work. Even the worst released games at least the basic items function at release.

    2. Skill points have no effect on your charactor. You can put 500 points in run speed and you see no increase in speed.

    3. Blood money and PvP not in the game. A basic reason many bought the game. What was promised was not delivered.

    4. Horrific memory leaks like no game I have ever played. Crash and burn on a duel core 3GB new pc at least 4 to 5 times a night.

    5. Funcom customer service? this may be a patch in the future to actually put that in game.

    It is not even worth my time to continue to list the problems this game and company have.

     

    I had very high hopes for the game and it is a total failure at this point.

    1.  Frankly, I like it this way.  Games that emphasize gear over skill only reward the ubergamer.  And certainly you don't think that this will stay broken for long?

    2.  Only certain skills.  In fact, as best I can tell only Run Speed *isn't* affected by skill points.

    3.  PvP isn't in the game?  Tell that to the 4 people who killed me last night.  Bounties and such aren't in yet, as they are still working on a system that will not result in griefing.  Take your time, I say.

    4. I played for a combined 9 hours over the last 2 days.  I crashed out once.  Took me about 15 seconds to get back in.

    5. Yeah, I'm sure the CS guys are just sitting around watching TV, reading books, and laughing at not responding to your ticket.  Hell, what else could they be doing in the second week of the release of their game?

     

    Give up on AoC if you wish, but be mindful that if you are doing it over peanuts like this you might not be playing in the right genre.

  • I've been playing AoC since open beta and have been loving it.  It has been the best launch of any MMO that I've experienced, and I give Funcom a lot of props for building a really beautiful and subtly different game.

     

    To the OP or anyone who agrees with the OP - would you please detail your complaint regarding "they have conned, cheated and lied about the game and its content from pretty much day one"?
