AOC - General Information

[DJk_zero]

I have to admit, the AoC retail engine is beautiful and runs great in dx10 mode. Compared to lolguard it's not even remotely the same.

actually it doesn't. You'll thank me later for telling you this (esp. you folks on the PvP servers). Try to put points into hiding when you can (110 is fine at lvl 30), and whenever you are in a fight that you know you are going to lose (ie 3v1 gankage), run away real quick, and after 2 seconds you will go out of combat, then hit the hide button and POOF you're gone and the opponent will be none the wiser. Works for ALL classes and they will never be able to find you unless you run out of stamina (which only occurs when moving). So just go stealth up on some enemy guild player, and light him up!! And if the fight is going bad, just stealth, heal up, and try it again

I was surprised to fight strom, that fight got nerfed down a ton from beta.. in beta he was like an actual event where you engage him and he starts sending waves of guards at you and then at the end he finally comes down to fight you himself.. but i guess maybe they thought that was to hard or something =/ kinda disappointing.

That pisses me off.

Why can't they ever implement anything new? Like disorienting effects or diversionary moves? Instead, we always get "The One Ring" stealth and one-dimensional tactics.

See that would of been interesting, some kind of little mini event. Instead I get the usual, nuke at range, spam nuke, blah, nothing special, just more HP then a normal mob. Wonder why they changed it. They didn't even have a cut scene which was odd, when so many other quest do, I wanted to hear the guy talk, and taunt me or something.

Here's another pro tip, double tap a direction and jump in that direction. You can actually "dodge" attacks that way if you get out of range. Weapon reach is important.

Also, at least for guardians?, when you do this it gives you a mini buff depending on what direction you go.

WW = chance to stun on attack
DD and AA = Dodge increase i think
SS = something, but i forget atm.

Anyone know a good fansite where I can look up some info? Seems like I got drawn into it from reading the posts.

Edit: Official site seems down or something, just want to look at a faq.. or is it still in nda?

ss gives you a like 50 percent chance to evade for 2 seconds or something.

Guess missing out on early access wasn't such a big deal after all.

I'll take a flyer on the retail box of this, I think. I wasted $50 on Hellgate, and this seems more promising than that.

There's not reliable place for the collection of info. There are a lot of places for feat lists and combo lists. Class guides etc? Not yet. At least I wouldn't rely on them.
