What's the point, though? It doesn't look like people are making much over the original costs. Then again, 10x whatever profit isn't that bad.
This one is rich, though. 600 bucks.... 600 bucks... :lol :lol

Does anyone else have a bug where whenever something leaves a scorch mark on the ground (falling flaming boulder, spell hits it, etc), the scorch mark shows as a bright white splotch?
Everything else in the game is rendering fine... I hope this is a bug in the game and not with my system.

Yeah because comparing WoW's graphic capabilities and AoC's is even remotely close, right?
I have a feeling this cap will be bumped up in the future, after people finally decide their 5 year old rig needs an upgrade.
The less people there are in that zone, the less likely it is to break out into a battle with a ton of people.johnnyg87 said:
I mean. Let's say for every 50 people in WoW there are 10 people who like to PvP hardcore (obviously an exaggeration since WoW is like the shittiest PvP ever). You can get technically a much LARGER number of people in a zone. So, say, 500 people in a zone. 100 people wanting to PvP.
If there are only 50 or 100 or whatever people allowed in a zone at a time...
Still, I'm hearing positive impressions from a friend of mine, where people don't like to run. So I'm not as worried as I initially was. And this is supposed to be a big PvP game, so hopefully it attracts a larger number of PvPers, proportionally, than WoW does. Still disappointing, though!
Plus, there's nothing better than killing people and being able to hear them whine about it.

I have an 8800GT 512MB
I notice the same thing, I don't see it often because I have no spell like that but part of my Destiny Quest was in a volcano that was erupting. Saw lots of white splotches as pieces of rock would crash into the ground.
Is there an area to PVP on the PVE servers too? I don't like the idea of being attacked at random but at the same time getting into big battles sounds quite neat.
Really struggling to pick a class - is the pure healer fun in AoC? I was a healer in LOTRs and found it very tough going since most people you group with have no idea how to control agro, but it was great when you had a good bunch. I can see what they've done with the melee combat but have they done anything interesting for magic\ranged classes?

I can't wait to see how my PC handles 50v50.
My only complaint against the game is shitty performance. I have a C2d 2.67, 2gb ram, and a 8800gtx and still struggle with getting a decent framerate in some areas. 50v50? I'll be lucky to exceed 5fps which is extremely dissapointing considering I picked the game up in anticipation of siege battles.

Ah well, you changed the topic so hey why not let him do it too._tetsuo_ said:
Also, he's right.

I don't understand you. You were trying to belittle the scale of the battlegrounds in AoC, and now when I prove that you failed at doing so, you try to put words in my mouth. I never said I thought AoC is superior to WoW. I just wouldn't want people in this thread to get the wrong impression of the size of the battlegrounds in AoC in contrast to other popular mmos.
edit: the person you quoted said he couldn't remember anything that came close to the scale of AoC. Thus, 40v40 does come pretty close. Validating your post lol.

I think you took my comments the wrong way. I was wrong about the AV thing but my second comment was kind of mocking the usual hyperbole seen on game forums. 48v48 is fine with me and im sure it will be plenty busy. On top of that who says they cant raise it later on anyway.

I am just surprised that some one can imply AV has anything to do with pvp.
So I'm loving the Dark Templar again. Life drain rank 2 + defensive stance is keeping me alive for multiple mob pulls and my dmg is high enough to down them I'm really enjoying this class so far and can't wait to get to lvl 30 for ma heavy armor.
I'm anxious to see how this anti-spawn camp system plays out (the 30 seconds of invulnerability after death/zone in that was patched in today).

I gave in and bought the game.. Only reached level 9 so far, as a Demonologist. Unfortunately I can only run the game at with Low settings and 1680x1050 with a Q6000 (2.4Ghz), 256MB 7950GT and 8GB of RAM on Vista 64. I guess I should look to upgrade my graphics card? Or is there something else wrong?

My total price for the whole order was $778. The ebay price is probably going to go up because of scarcity, the quality of the game, and the potency of the in-game bonuses the collector's edition gives. Right now it's selling at about $150 a pop minimum, which means over $700 in profit for a couple hours' worth of work boxing the stuff up and mailing it out. If I waited for a couple months, they would probably have the same price trajectory that the World of Warcraft collector's editions did ($200+ very quickly, now in the $1000 range).
By the way, Amazon said that they have a special agreement with Eidos to ship extra collector's editions to fill missing pre-orders (like mine! woohoo!), rather than having to cancel them. They are just waiting on Eidos to add some sort of mini-guide on top of all the other stuff. Amazon pretty much kicks ass at everything, in my experience.

Played till level 9, game is pretty fun so far, I'm digging it much more than a lot of other MMOs I've tried and stopped playing very early on.

2 GB DDR-800
GeForce 9600 GT 512MB DDR3
I'm playing on Medium with some tweaks to up some shadows and such. FPS is very good for me. Between 40-60 FPS depending where I'm playing.

Where do you start doing tradeskills?
Also, how is everyone liking the Feats for your class? I'm Dark Templar and not quite sure where to go. I do like how there's a general "Soldier" tree and a couple of more specific stuff for the class.

I'll say I've enjoyed it a lot. It has its bugs but it's new of course. I can't speak about the PvP or group mechanics because it's been mostly solo the whole time. I am in guild but they hardly talk (for the moment). It's refreshing and something new to the MMO side in terms of the combat. Just be sure to have a beefy rig to play. Latency is ass in the major cities. And the UI just plain sucks imo.
I'd recommend waiting on this game. Performance is shit and there are numerous infuriating bugs (not being able to res after dying, AI companion deciding to stop fighting during the middle of a fight).
I also completely despise the game's opening 10 hours. Honestly, it is like an MMO without all of the things that people actually like in MMOs.

So far I'm not liking my feats.
One of them I gives a +%10/15/20 etc percentage to a dot I have. But the dot only does 1 to 5 damage (mattering how many times I've hit them, it will average around 2 per tick) So it barely adds anything.
Also I have a skill that after 5 points into it adds +15 fire damage..... woo? I don't know if that number rises as I level... it might not sure.
