AOC - General Discussion II

How does PVP work on PVP servers? FFA?

Also what does Culture PVP Mean? People of same race are on a team?

yeah, it's ffa everywhere except for major cities (which there are like 4 total). So expect resistance when leveling. And also correct on the culture pvp

Has anyone tried the bear shaman? I haven't heard much about it and that will probably be my first pick.

I really like how you can set the draw distance so far away. The pop-in thing doesn't exist in this game at the highest settings. I can see mobs a long way away running around in the distance.

This pic is actually from beta before they made the performance improvements:

Picking it up tomorrow, going to play a Necromancer.

No clue what server.

8-11 pets is just plain cool.

[Zarcath]

are the little icons at the top of your screen buff icons? that's a lot of damn buffs.

It means that races = PvP factions.

One more thing if you could. If Warlord is relatively worthless can you comment on how hoarfrost and the other non-carnage line offensive buffs compare to the buffed up fire weave? If I could cut carnage out entirely or at least limit it to the first two tiers that would help a lot, but I've heard fire weave may be the best buff we get.

i only got to 48 in beta so i never got to test hoarfrost at all, going purely on hearsay i dont think its as good as fireweave but i dont really know.

The only way i see carnage as being good is if that talent that gives bloodbath a snare turns out to be really good, if it is then that might make me spec carnage for pvp.

I just called EBStop and they said they're already selling AoC boxes. I can pick it up today and play as soon as servers are unlocked.

I'm currently playing the Bear Shaman lvl 25 so far, slow starter defently buy potions to help you in the lower teens. Once you get lvl 17 I think it was your able to stack hots and a pbaoe heal to keep you up on multiple mobs. The class is pretty solid some nice combo moves Ursine Brawl is my favorite so far and working towards the Ursine Fury feat in the Wrath tree. Its defently one of the slower starting classes but once you get into the better heals your alot like a Paladin very hard to kill. You have some decent cc type skills forget the names off hand ones a 5 meter aoe that stuns everything around you and another is basicly a frontal cone that knocks everything down both are great if you get 4 + npcs on you.

Ya those are mostly buffs with a couple of HoTs. Necromancer has about six self buffs at that level, though.

i have an extremely important question:

are casters forced to wear dresses if you want good gear?

[Rythonn]

I am having a harder time picking a server then class. Most likely going to play Demo.

Nope, my ToS has a skirt on...been waiting to find something better for ages.

[Kolle]

yeah we need someone to figure out which server is the cool one

i think my first pvp server on wow was warsong. that was a mistake. i need my future self to pay me a visit and tell me which AoC server is the best. and of course when the aliens land.
