patching is per file not one file that patches files

Where it said CREDIT CARD i clicked on the down arrow, and selected PAY BY CASH :)

Worked for me, as it skipped any boxes to fill in and upgraded my account sucessfully :P

I tried doing that, but it kept on saying incomplete & mentioning the CC details.

I think I'll try cancelling the subscription & hoping I can transfer to game cards when it happens.

I'm also still nicely hooked on WoW, but I will be going to the search for a shop selling AoC 2morrow. Thinking of ensuring to get the game 2morrow by going to BT in Northgate, think Incredible Corrurption/Dion Wired/Toys r us will have it yet?

BT has stock of the normal version not the collectors. Look & Listen still has the Collectors Edition in stock though. :D
 
patch info
5MB ->> 93.4MB ->> 13MB ->> 632MB
5 + 93.4 + 13 + 632 = 743.4
 
Some people have reportedly downloaded over a 1.2Gb, but who knows what's up with them :D
 
Server

Hey guys, anyone or guilds in particular decided on a server?
 
I'll check out a few shops, but must get this TODAY! Then same as what Valdahur asked....was there a unanimous decision as to where we'll (RSA) will make our last stance against the attacks of the bad guys against our families in Cimmeria?

The forum http://ageofconan.forummotion.com is the guild i am going to be a part of. It is going to roll on the PVP server WildSoul. Guild name is Eclipse

Then there is another one at http://www.ageofconan.co.za/ i believe they are going to be rolling on a PVE server. Not sure if they have finalised a name.

But if you are interested have a look at the fourms at both and you can decide. And obviously i am punting for more members for Eclipse :D

i took WildSoul

thoughts so far [no master reviewer but here is my lol short blurps as they pop up]
  • The voice acting is above the normal mmo, what voice acting !? - yes the npc speaks .
  • game engine well its not crysis though, but not bad seems to have the natural half life approach rather than doom 3 sci fi plastic feel. 1280x1024 and high which gets me 40-80 fps, average on 50. [4g ram, 6600 quad, 8800GT 512m]
  • latency with saix unshaped is from 300-450ms.
  • combat system, well that too something to get used to - but hell FATALITY (sorry no deep manly voices *MK style) and blood wtf do you want more hehee.
  • quests, well haven't had to much of get X from Y; but no go kill X of Y yet as fantastically demonstrated in wow.
  • just thought whaaaat this isnt assassins creed, the assassin mission is obviously follow this guy and then go listen in on his conversation while hiding in the shadows.
  • the character creation is freaky elaborate - even set the cup size 0_o.
  • overall i am finding Ok for a launch it not without its bugs and errors or things that could have been more little friendlier as to speaking for example of the climbing skill that you need for a certain rouge mission. I would how ever have had the npc check behind the scenes if the player actually have enough climb and then say the A-Ok, but lol after you have spec for a level you have to wait another to another level - cuase you only find out at the ladder that you are X point short :/

...how would i rate it against the current mmo's, is it worth it, would it be the wow killer, can i put down the GW ???
well AoC has the like and feel of something else at least, no just wash and rinse with new models and different names coming down to the same old X of Y, well yet anyways. I like the touch of npc's actually speaking, the natural feely engine, almost "free form fighting" and it does seem to offer more of immersiveness nice without feeling that you are just another Camera carrying a weapon running errands for jack. In the end i will still be playing bits of other mmo, But warth of the lich king will not be bought and played.

I would however say that definitely not Everybody's cup of tea and would think that funcom will have some sort of trail, demo 12 gigs !? ok maybe not then but still try before buy as its definitely a set audience and genre being boobs, brawn and barbarians. It does say 18+ on the cover and at least its mature game and not just going by the mature label as hellgate does.

Closing note though, i expected little more proper implementation of scaling down and up on the graphics side - it does look erf when not on high. Maybe i should have played with the advanced tab instead of the three buttons at top ;)

That I'll do later on, i mean i played from 11am till 4am and how many games can do that to you if you are already tired - guess that says allot already :P


anyways as i said my random blurps and tardy construction of words on the matter... for now anyways

HEADS WILL ROLL...

If you guys find the servers you want full, try AGAIN in the afternoon or early hours of the morning. I found I couldnt get onto WildSoul, but around 10pm, I could make my char there.
 
....PS Field manual ftw, another nice touch.
 
Got my copy, Look&Listen did not have it displayed yet at the Woodmead shop, I just asked and they brought out my new toy! Installing now....really taking a bit of time.

What other server except Ymir are us boytjies gonna be fighting on?

A few guys are on WildSoul. If you cant connect to the server, try a few mins later or much later in the evening...
 
Im playing on battlescar, have a lvl 15 priest of mitra, im loving him!
 
Can we get some sort of Sticky thread same as "Where do you play" from WoW? I'm no expert but according to me, we'll need to really combine our forces in higher lvl's...and I for one do not want to be stuck with ppl I can't relate to.

I'm on Ymir, playing a Bear Shaman

I agree, we should all play on the same server, would make it a lot more fun.
PvP servers are harsh though, it seems its a free for all..
went into some dungeon, and there are no factions, everyone was killing everyone. gank fest deluxe
 
I started on Friday evening, the patch download caught me :(

Couldnt get onto Wildsoul (where the SA guild is),

So i created a demonologist and an assassin on Crom to try them out.

yesterday i managed to create a char on Wildsoul :)
 
Got my copy 5 mins back, FFS, 6 more hours before i can go home.

Now again, same question that started this forum.

What class and race did you roll
