EDIT4: VSpy is much quicker than the other options tried so far and will be used for site monitoring of the server. It will only show up for users with the 'Ventrilo' role, which I've given to everyone who plays MMOs. You may hide the block in your account settings if you don't want to see it.

EDIT3: The Teamspeak server will no longer be functional as of Friday, March 27.

EDIT2: The new Ventrilo server is up. You'll need to download the latest client from the link below. Setup the server as follows:

  • Name: Avatar
  • Host: ventrilo4.holdouts.com
  • Port: 3841
  • Password: Same as what we used in the TS server. If you don't remember the old password and can't recover it from your TS client, e-mail or call me.

Very detailed breakdown of the Conqueror. Helped me immensely with Feat selection (others might find his comments on general feats useful). If I see any of these for other classes, I'll let you know.

All the rage on TSG ventrilo at the moment. A lot of guys are really liking the hotkey setup, and a couple of options it has on install

For those of you already playing, this will be mostly old news. I'm going to try and post a few comments for those still considering the game.

Disclaimer: I tend to gush early on, so take all I say with a grain (pound?) of salt.

Negative impressions: AoC has launched with fewer overall problems and more beginning area content than any MMO I've every played. Even WoW had more problems. I especially remember the "loot lag" we had to deal with for the first few days (weeks?) after launch. The feel of AoC compared to WoW is much more realistic and immersive. WoW started with nothing new, just all the old stuff done really, really well. AoC has implemented a number of new features that are actually different from standard MMO fare. However, there are still warts. I have three major compaints about the game.

Game Tips

  • Adding friends who are offline: Open the players and pvp widget, click add by name, check the friends box, type in name, submit. This list appears to be per character, not per account, so you'd need to do this for each character.

 

We are going to need a Ranger, maybe two

I got killed in a fire fight with some black blood picts... that was ok, but then I got ganked by some 20 somethings right off of the resurrection spot without cause. Ok, we regrouped, finished our business and went looking for them to get some payback but without a ranger and tracking it was truly a pointless needle in the haystack sorta thing.

Since it might come up.

6 folks in a group

We joined up (or some of us have) with the sundred guard.

AoC goes live for the rest of us

Against years of cumulative wisdom that says don't buy a MMO anywhere near release, I went ahead and picked up AoC today.

I'm installing (and soon probable to be patching), so I don't have any first hadn impressions of launch yet. I hear things where a little touch and go for the prerelease folks but then smoothed out well enough.

I'm keenly interested in getting  Friday Night gig going for AoC. That means 3 days of gaming for me, Thursday wow, Friday AoC, Saturday DDO. Something might break but I'm willing give it a try. Not like I'm missing out on a lot of hot dates with the MS's.

Anyhoo.

RP-PVP Server: Cimmerian (worth noting this at heavy load already)

9PM PST to X

Who's jumping into the pool? No no really the water is fine :).

 

Character friend list:

Char name:

Griffon = Bushi (Assassin, Serrh (Ranger), budo (bear shaman), Groth (conquer)

MikeJ= Taim, Dainen

Nick= Malthol

Rick C (no really!)= Sajus

Phil = Beol, Extos, Neja

 

A Note on adding friends who are offline: This took me a few minutes to figure out, it's not a command line thing :p. open the players and pvp widget, click add by name, check the friends box, type in name, submit. I think it's a per character list too, which I allways find anoying (but understand).

AoC closed beta patch

The patch today gave me a bit of hope most of the nasty lagging shader issues seem to be gone. Game plaly frame rate and area load times are much improved. Still lots of bugs yes, but pretty much a playable state now it would seem.
