thecoalition Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 the open beta is now over but it was open to anyonethe graphics are pretty intense on it and will be the breaking point for alot of people who want to play itim running it fine on my setup but its high end. alot of people with low-lowmid range pc's are having issues running it at a decent framerate.

gaia.plateau Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) I've been in the closed beta for a few weeks, love it, got the 3-days early access with preorder so I'll be 20+ at launch.I'll be playing a Cimmerian Dark Templar named Hungus, on the RP-PVP server.Regarding playability I have a dual core 3ghz with a 9600gt 512mb card and 3gb DDR2 ram, can run mid-low settings at 50fps, but it'll run better for me on the official client.

Ralleac Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) I'll probably be trying it out. I wish I hadn't missed the closed beta, but the past several weeks have been kind of busy and I haven't been checking up like I normally do.

gaia.plateau Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) Rall: I missed the closed beta signup too, but I won access from mmolecule.Guru: Diametrically dissimilar. WoW is cute and cartoony, AoC is brutal, vulgar and realistic. WoW is pathetically easy, and even if you do go afk for an hour and somehow manage to die, there is effectively no penalty for death, so you don't even care. AoC, conversely, requires concentration, strategy and focus for every single attack, or you will die and lose substantial experience points. WoW has no real storyline, while AoC has a deep plot, especially in the first 20 levels, and single-player instances involving rich storytelling. WoW quests are ~90% directed grinding, killing x amount of baddies for y item to bring to cockhead z. AoC quests are ~5% directed grinding, I've only seen two quests like this out of 50 or 60, and most involve assassination, espionage, rescue, interrogation, or epic battles. WoW definitely has more content for the hardcore PvE enthusiasts willing to devote 10 hours a day to boring guild raids, while AoC utterly outclasses it in PvP.

Balthazar Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 WE MADE THIS GAME!I probably won't be playing it though, doubt my machine would handle it very well. Had to tweak UT3 a lot to get it to run smooth, and I'm guessing this is both demanding and not very tweakable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoalition Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 its pretty tweakable as you can do dx9 or 10 and do all the normal graphics options there in.gaia - im sad to see youll be on the rp. i would have loved to had the chance to chop off your arms and head on a pvp server.thats where ill be. i have no patience for rp...i just cant get that into it."i put on my wizard hat and robe" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the game, but I think the older versions of Ultima Online were better. Unbridled murder, theft, and PvP in general. Damn Origin/R. Garriott for selling out to EA, which wound up jumping on the PvE bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralleac Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 My friend picked up the game at a local store (not sure which one.) I used his copy to install and patch it, so I should be playing soon.
