AOC- PvP Info

[Insanemus]

Sounds like "we have DAoC's RVR and FFA PVP rulesets + WoW Battlegrounds".

I like the sound of Warhammers PVP much better.

No. Well there is absolutely no RvR (or any realms for that matter) and there is only one battleground that they recently shoveled in, but it clearly isn't the focus of the pvp. So no.

Yeah, but you can kill a level 18 guy when you are level 11. Not that I would know though, right?

So?

[Threash]

So did anyone get in? i don't think theres an NDA on this.

[Venkman]

Been in for awhile.

Haven't launched in awhile. 

[Morfiend]

Are you sure there is no NDA? I was convinced there was.

Would suggest that the NDA drops on May 1st.

[Venkman]

Been so long I don't remember  Will check, but then I can't tell you anyway.

[Morfiend]

Well, technically you could tell *me*.

[Nija]

I think you can say if you're in it or not.

I'm in it and I'm giving it a final playthrough currently.

[Threash]

I was speaking only about the pvp weekend, no idea about the NDA situation on the regular beta.  Nobody i know that got in the pvp weekend has mentioned anything about there being an NDA.

[DarkSign]

So can someone give me a recap on what's known about AOC and WAR PvP/RvR in total, please?

[Ratadm]

I got in the PVP weekend and pretty sure there was a NDA while I was clicking through.

[Dtrain]

Personally I don't think it matters what kind of PVP a game has if the game is entirely mediocre - and I really haven't seen anything to suggest AOC is anything but.

Please let me know if I've somehow gotten the wrong impression as I'm this close to crossing this one off my "check it out" list.

I am pretty sure THAT kind of answer would be covered by the NDA.

Just hypothetically, have we ever seen a single game that went to a month before release with the NDA intact that was OMG AWESOME!!1!!1! ?

I just got sent an AoC weekend key!     And for my emptiest weekend in ages too...

[Morfiend]

Good luck getting the client download, installed, and patched by Sunday.

 

[Signe]

Evidently, they sent out 5K more invites.  The Funcom Download Manager was pretty quick, I think. 

[HaemishM]

Apparently, I'm in as well. Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to get that much hard drive space free.

Why are your weekends empty?    You should get married.  Us wives are great for filling up the empty time slots. 

[Venkman]

I really can't figure this out. I couldn't when it came up during VG either. Three years ago I got a dirt-cheap 250gb drive that still runs smooth on max load. Friggin' space is at joke/cost levels. Are you way overloaded on MP3s? Or is your drive old?

It's not like I went out to buy a hard drive to support my MMO habit either. I looked at it more as a requirement for "keeping up". Freakin' COD2 pushes 8gb with the mods and maps and nonsense we used. COD4 is even more.

And this isn't to just target you of course.

[Threash]

I think im the only person who signed up and didn't get in, i officially hate you all.

[SnakeCharmer]

Porn.

As it is, I'm using a 250 GB HD, and up until very recently, was using a 160 GB.  But I don't keep alot of stuff my HD, and have MAYBE 40 mp3s on my 'puter.  I still listen to CD's.  I'm old school, or obsolete, take your pick.

I don't even own an MP3 player...

[WayAbvPar]

I can't remember if I signed up or not, but I didn't get in either, if that helps

Both my drives are old and full of shit. Only one is full of pr0n. And comics. Lots and lots of comics. If I had the money to go buy a cheap 250gb drive, I'd have the money to buy a new goddamn computer. Also, pr0n.

I'm a nomad.  Law school, one year of clerking in random_middle_of_nowhere_place_00, and next year in Tokyo.  And then I want to go back to Ohio.  You may be surprised to hear that "hey Ivy League/East Coast gal, move to Ohio with me!" isn't the world's greatest turn-on.    

[Triforcer]

Jesus.  WHen I click on the "torrent" download option, it just opens a long word doc full of gibberish.  Trying to download in four parts gets me into Gamespot Download Manager, but then it instantly says "error occurred."  Any ideas?

+ using download manager worked for me last night.

[Triforcer]

FYI, Ausgamers.com has a much faster download (at least for me, in MA) then Ratadm's link- I am getting 80 kbps from the aussie site, and was getting 15 from internode.  Thanks for the help though. 

[Cadaverine]

Woo, getting 50/kbps on the torrent.   

At this rate, I might have it downloaded in time for the carnival of failure release.

[Signe]

I got it done in about an hour and a half using the Funcom download manager.  Unless it's become useless with this event, I recommend it.

You must have some sort of mystical demon-powered computer or a magic download site.  Was this through gamespot, or somewhere else?

[Signe]

It was from Funcom.  I can't find it anymore.  I even looked on some AoC boards and other people can't find it anymore, either. I guess it was so fast that it escaped.  Sorry.  Mind you, that was just for the game.  The patching took another couple of hours, I think.  I'm not sure because I wandered away and when I came back a couple hours or so later, it was done.  And I have a very mediocre computer.  I'm seeing how long I can go without buying a new one to test my sanity.
