Noob question inc regarding buddy keys...

If i get a buddy key from a friend does it require using his discs? i live on the other side of the country from him and i want to try it out heh

Don't think you can use buddy keys yet.

I am pretty sure the answer is no. Discs are just to load up the client.

was more concerned with the installation and what not. Possible to get client via download is what im asking?

Mippo will complain that being able to rest whenever trivializes the game, so they will add a 10m cooldown to it!

Check your PMs. You can still download the old early access client and patch over to retail without a key.

This is what I did. got a key online and found the funcom downloader. it was not blazing speeds but I averaged 500k/s. The are a few sites that also have the client for download broken into sections.

Wish more companies would pull a Sony and let ya get a small installer that goes right to patcher. Might not be instant gratification but its something you can get downloaded overnight/at work.

Someone made the comment of this taking up the flag that EQ1 carried for so long. I must admit I've been playing until patch time each day, every day. This game feels so much like home I don't think I'll ever play WoW again.

While its not 100% perfect its good enough for me, WoW just never held the greatness that this game seems so ready to provide.

Only complaint I would make seems to do with the player population from WoW migrating over to AoC. The combat system is leaps and bounds more intensive than in wow and I think alot of people really struggle with it. This sometimes causes problems in groups because people simply cannot change to accept that more than 3 - 4 things can be happening at a single moment. Had a priest ninja a melee ring and dagger, another priest ninjaed assassin pants and people getting lost all the time simply because they cannot remember which way they went on a map.

All in all I am really happy with the game up to level 40. freaking school and work getting in the way of my play time! LOL

Quick Question:

How wall can a Dark Templar tank and can they duel wield weapons since they cant swing two handers.

Is HoX gimped in pvp? Can they tank or are they strictly melee?

Rythonn · 05-29-2008, 06:40 PM

In case you don't know to make your mount run normal speed just mount up and then un-sheath and re-sheath your weapons.

Jabberwhacky · 05-29-2008, 06:48 PM

DT's are great tanks (all soldiers are) and they can not dual wield. All they get is 1H slashing, 1H blunt, shield, and 'talisman,' which means book.

HoX can't tank, they're a mage, but they happen to use a big weapon. Doesn't change their defensive situation. PvP remains to be seen, but they are able to do lots and lots of burst damage IF the target doesn't try to get away. They get one point-blank AE root (6 second duration) and I think only one stun (which comes from feats and only occurs when they use their polymorph spell, so it's another PBAE like their root).

I had the same issue and the fix was doing it again and picking a different screen name.

You must have got lucky. I waited 2 days on my first one and then totally changed it and im almost 2 days on it as well. guess I could try again.

Can someone explain to me the purpose of everyone having hide and perception? If I keep perception full every level will I be able to basically see-invis every time I use it or what? I am hoarding most of my points thus far.
