Hey guys, looking at getting into a new MMORGP, AoC has caught my eye. Just wanted to know if any one is playing this atm? experiences? whats the PvE like? PVP? how does it run on your computers?

Cheers

Anthony

I was keen, but saw some reviews and have followed it for a bit on mmorpg.com

It looks shit.. Basically everything is instanced. There is like never more than 50+ people in one area, instead they copy multiple zones and if you want to be with your friend you need to jump servers/zones to be in the same area.

Their cheap ass way of trying to fix lag.

And the fact that it's just a button mashing fest..

Wait for warhammer.

If that fails we can kill ourselves.

If you'd actually played the game you'd know that it's not just a button mashing fest. If you win a single PvP battle button mashing, i'd take off my pants.

Age of Conan is an MMO that actually needs skill to win. None of this point and click crap to attack. You need different key presses to pump out combos which is nice, and the combat is far more realistic because you strafe/run during battle while attacking. None of this standing in one spot jabbing eachother with sticks.

I'm playing the PvP assassin class, and a kill in PvP involves coating my daggers in poison, using stealth to catch the other player off guard and knifing them with a poison damage enhancment technique, by which time they've tried to flee on their mount. I whip out my crossbow as they run (all the while taking poison damage) and pick them off, dismounting them from their horse/rhino or whatever it may be. I return to stealth and just when it has appeared they've escaped, I lift the cloaking, delivering a final blow.

Try doing that with button mashing. AoC is the WoW kiiller no matter how you look at it; with half a million players within the first week and a half and not a single copy left on shelves at retail at the moment, you cant go wrong getting into it. :)

Warhammer will be bigger then most people think in the australian market.

They are having dedicated oceanic servers based in aus... Wouldnt it be nice to play a melee clas that doesnt attack from 20 feet away due to lag?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
