Greetings,
Thank you for contacting Funcom Customer Support.
I'm afraid that DX10 will not be available immediately at launch we are
working to get this option available asap.

Had a look at the priest arch type tree and it sure sound sweet, but not sure if it actually scales up with level.

Do not want to waste points on “Saintly Warrior” which might give me 20 mana when I get hit and I have 100 mana, then at level 80, I have 5 thousand mana and still only get 20 manna added when it procs.

One question about re-training the feat trees, is it just a one off thing?

Is there a good website with Spells & Calcultator ?

I'm going to play a caster (no melee Konami DDR for me) but i hesitate between Demo & Necro.

im not surprised dx10 isnt at launch, even if they had it ready on internal i cant see them pushing it live with 0 testing since its compiled differently than dx9 and might have entirely new and interesting gfx bugs and crashes.

Kaige · 05-17-2008, 07:05 AM

The cone healing thing intrigued me, heh. I guess having been pvp and raid healers plenty of times, its interesting to see a spell you can use when standing behind people. Single target healing gets pretty annoying.

Not being able to test the game in beta makes me cautious though.

I watched the video on the city/keep forming but it doesn't get into too much detail on it. Join up for some pvp as defense probably if I played, be a part-time healer part-time builder/crafter I guess.

Hmmmm.

Wonder if the servers will actually be up on time today? Im not counting on it but I guess we'll see. Im still mostly sure Im rolling a Bear Shaman out of the gate but the Ranger buff makes me almost want to go with one. In such a PVP centric game it would seem to be a liability not to have any ranged capability whatsoever. Do Bear Shaman have any ranged abilities? Can they use xbows?

They can charge with feats, and have various anti roots/snare stuff. I'm not sure about ranged weapons, but it seems everyone can use them, but the dmg is pretty damn shitty for anyone not a rogue class(because of the low stats).

However as far as I know, rangers can't kill a healer if they don't burst him down in the first rush. Once you get heals going, almost no class can actually kill a healer, even the squishies, you need focus fire from 2people, a decent amount of luck to crit a lot, or an insane combo of CC which is hard to do since they nerfed chain knockbacks.

The charge alone, then the snare/kbs should be enough to beat anyone on 1vs1, and the heals should be enough to live until charge is up if you already used it.

Pre 30 or so, healers can get bursted down easily though. The healing feats and scaling make it better as you level up, in the early game it's really weak.

Elerion · 05-17-2008, 08:17 AM

Does anyone still have the beta client installed? If the servers are up, could you do me a favor?

Make a (cimmerian male) character with the haircolor on the far left, and one with the haircolor on the far right, and tell me which of these is actually grey? I know at least one of them turns out to actually be blonde once you get to the beach.

Grumpy Old Fart · 05-17-2008, 08:27 AM

This thing is getting more complete every day, and now finally has all of the spells (even ones requiring feats): Abilities

And yes, healers are easier kills than most until level 25 or so, when they finally have Rank 2 of all of their healing spells, which are now healing for numbers per second comparable to some melee class that isn't paying attention and just spamming directional attacks. The ToS might be a bit harder to gank as a lowbie, since they'll have a root and a stun by level 13 (so leave me the fuck alone on the RP-PvP server).

Daezuel · 05-17-2008, 08:29 AM

Now the question is : Is the patcher working for anyone?

Senen · 05-17-2008, 08:33 AM

Not for me just hangs up at Downloading Patch Info for the last 2 days that I've randomly tried.

Rhaze · 05-17-2008, 08:34 AM

ahhhhh I'm taking the state police test at 1pm est. Fail.

not working for me either.

Ender4212 · 05-17-2008, 08:35 AM

Not yet this morning it hasn't worked for me. I got quite a few patches last night with the EA client, but nada so far today.
