AOC - General Discussion II

[Hatorade]

Screw a /who function give me the fucking guild update when I see their name. Very annoying when a KoS guild runs past me and I don't even know what guild they are in. I have seen it take up to 40 secs before the guild name even shows up.

Whats up with the auction house, half the things I auction I cant even find like rings and amulets. Also a talisman option seems to be totally missing and an 'all' in that section would be good too. A 'quality' filter is needed as well, seems like 100s of people have put up all kind of trash for auction.

They really should take a look at eve online for guildfaction settings and increase bank space tenfold along with tiered sections of that space see eve.

What were they thinking putting in 100s(?) of different gems and alchemy stuff and give people so little room to store that crap.

Getting on and off the horse should be twice as fast.

ok enough of the gripes I have, I still enjoy the game, dont know why people say that past 40 the game stops ... I had plenty quests and stuff to do up to level 65 now. Doin the villas and a few kill quests multiple times is not that bad.

One big change I would like to see is more incentive to run dungeons rather than grind mindlessly in Keshetta. Sure it's fast but god it's so boring, like frickin' Hecklers were in AO.

Right now I have a bit of trouble getting people to do instances instead of Kesh mostly because of a few issues:

- the xp is not as fast
- lack of pvp tension (in private instances)
- it's harder than standing around while casters AoE everything in 2 seconds

There are already 3 decent scaling private instances (Swamp, Ravine, and Oasis) but these are problematic because if you turn in all the quests, you can never do the instance again. Some of our guildmates didn't know that early on and are stuck out of them. A fix for that would help, either allow folks to zone in without the quests or make it a Villa type 1 day reset.

Another dungeon idea would be similar to Darkness Falls - one entrance is in each guild area (Potain, Laceish, Swamp). If your guild keep is in that area, you can zone in, but others cannot until they win whatever world battle opens the portal (battle keeps, pvp points, use your imagination). There could be rich resource nodes and good boss loot in that huge dungeon.

I also think public shared dungeons like Cistern/Main System need to have a lower threshold before new ones spawn. More than 4-5 groups in there + no real penalty for dying in pvp and it gets silly.

drop this script into /scripts directory, change the 2 instances of Stygia in the text file to Aqualonia or Cimmeria (depending on which chat zone you are in), and type /hannah2.txt (or whatever you name it) in chat and watch the epic lulz

there are chat commands to do stuff like quit guild and a bunch of other things, but that'll probably get you in trouble with the GMs. i think this is safe, but of course who knows.

pretty much the funnest thing for me in the game now, just figuring out weird ass shit to do like soloing elites, becoming perma-immune to attacks, causing chat lulz, and instance trashing. hope i dont get banned

Tap leveling works in this game, the apprentice change will certainly slow things down but its still easy to powerlevel on exp cap mobs.

Here's a recap from the first siege, we had few people drop tag and join pfb's because the mercenary system is broken and you cannnot ally guilds. Anyways.. the system currently sucks and needs A LOT of work, lag being the major component even with 4gb ram/8800+ video cards. Pics included.

I can't tell if that blog is sarcastic or genuine considering his last one was all hate for AoC.

That author is just a total stooge. He will probably be working for Fox News in no time.

They are hiding them from the test forums. Been looking all day.

Like it matters anyhow they are always off or fucked up. Wait for the unoffcial patch notes to see what really happens.

That's pure internet gold and an amusing way to pass the time while waiting for PVP minigames on a PVE server. Speaking of which, the queue times are abysmal. Cross server action would be welcome since there are so few level 80s on Zug. Yeah I know, I fail for going PVE -- it's where my friends congregated but they've failed to level quickly.

I don't get it, what's that script do?

Cross-server isn't necessary yet IMO, they just need to make it so you can signup for multiple types of matches instead of one and only one. A big checklist would be awesome, or of course a "I'll take anything" button. Currently you can only pick one map of one pvp type... and there's what, like a dozen different choices? So you'll see like 3 people looking for each one or something, silly.

Makes whoever click on it say something in their current channel

Test is apparently covered by an NDA right now. We got yelled at by Funcom for posting the ones that were posted here this weekend.
