I just skimmed the thread, I didn't see any mention of it.

Neither did I (and I know this thread like the back of my hand :P), what's with all the hate Draegan!

Gotta say I like Werik's UI much better. A lot cleaner, gets rid of the fluff extra bar graphics and such.

[Dontauro]

The development and QA team are running the final tests and adjustments on the servers. They will need 1 extra hour to ensure that everything is in order before putting all the servers back online.

Please see this link to see when the servers will be going up in your local timezone.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Mmhmm.

i am shocked the server downtime is extended to 8pm GMT, aka 1pm PDT.

I am finally starting to learn wtf my time is when someone gives it in GMT (PDT = -7 hours GMT). still, i wish those norweigner fuckers would give the time out in EST/PST for the usa servers - what next, measuring stuff in metric on the announce pages? FUCK YOUR KILOMETERS

Okay some questions:

1. What's the white arrow things that appear when you're attacking a mob? (left, above, right)

2. Same thing but yellow arrows that seem to randomly appear?

3. Are fatalities anything more than a different animation?

I'm assuming one means you get more damage from an attack to that direction, but there's no combat log and the hit numbers are tiny that I can't tell.

[Schatze]

Question about tradeskills: how much effort does it require to make things that are useful to a 40+? Do you have to start out making level 5 or whatever items and make a shit tonne of them or is it different than other games?

Basically can someone explain tradeskills more in depth.

Edit: also 40-50 has fields of the dead for the major zone, any others? I hit Sanctum, was a bit underwhelmed by the difficulty. Not to mention that clumsy players and the way tanking works in AOC makes it a PITA. I might have to go polearm just so I have more range to hit clustered mobs. It's a PITA and the UI makes it worse.

Nice prediction.

What's funny is they always say, "We're doing finalization tests just to MAKE SURE it works", when the reality is probably, "Oh hell this stuff is broken and now the power isn't even on dear god what will we do."

On the mob you mean? Their shielding I believe, attack the side with the least shielding for more damage.

Fatalities give you a buff that gives some extra regen and stuff, doesn't last that long, haven't checked to see what else they give yet.

1. Mob shields, like they said hit the side with the least arrows. Or if you have a combo to do on a side that is fully shielded try hitting the other side so he drops his shield on the opposite.

2. Your shields. There's a button to change the configuration but so far I've found no point as mobs seem to hit randomly.

3. They give you a regen as far as I know, possibly more at a higher level.
