Title: Previously Roll Call, now a big fucking mess.
Post by: schild on May 13, 2008, 10:36:11 PM
Feel free to post before making your character just to note that you'll be in the game.

Character names and whether or not you'll be joining Bat Country.

I've got the game on pre-order so I'll be playing.  I'll join bat country if you'll have me.

I'll be playing, but most likely on the European servers. Also, I don't count.

I'll patiently wait 'til the game arrives in the retail store here in my hometown in Italy. I'm a VERY casual player, carebearish, annoyingly chatty and every other nightmarish attitude you can think of.

Can't wait to join you all :P

But also, I'll take a break when Mass Effect comes out for the PC :)

I'll be playing with some freinds from my small guild in a much larger mature-gamer focused guild on a PvE server.

Post by: Mrbloodworth on May 14, 2008, 06:28:48 AM
I will be there, but i choose not to do the early accesses, to let them sort that shit out.

Anyway, I and some friends have mostly decided to join a guild rather than make our own (due to the nature of the game). So, if allowed,4 of us (possibly 1-2 more) would most likely join.

Let me know what server.


Only thing is..... your not sticking with that guild name are you?  :ye_gods:

Mainly, i just don't think it fits this game. As for the reference, i think that ship has sailed, its really not that special or seekrt.

What would it be in latin? or something...

I am still wait and see for AoC.

I'm playing, I'll be either Viin or Irek, not sure which yet.

I think we should setup BAT on a PvE and a PvP server.

Quick, someone pick one of each so we can make chars first thing!

Post by: Signe on May 14, 2008, 07:20:51 AM
What?  They didn't have bats in Conan's time?  I never had an urge to read those books so, I don't know, maybe they didn't.  Maybe Miasma and whoever else has a little guild could all merge.  I'm not super fussed about guild names, as long as it's not naff or dramatic.  Since it's a 17+ game I assume we can have profane names like The Flying Fists of Fuck or Nipple Country.

I'm not sure they've chosen server names yet.  I remember there was a poll with tons of names, some were even interesting.  I also remember tha "Asgard" seemed to be the most popular.  What a bunch of uninspired, unimaginative losers are going to be playing this game!   :oh_i_see:

Post by: stray on May 14, 2008, 08:52:08 AM
Chances are, y'all probably already know much about the world of Conan. :-) It's easy to understand the lore, and names aren't so hard to make up. It's basically just a hodgepodge of every prominent ancient culture from different periods all bundled into one period. Aquilonians are French/Charlemagne/Holy Roman era types. Nemedia are their Germanic/Holy Roman counterparts. Cimmerians are Gaelic-like barbarians (not Nordic as some assume -- that would be the properly named Asgardians). Picts are even more barbaric than Cimmerians -- kind of the wildside of old Europe, as well as Native American cultures. Corinthia are Greeks. Shemites are Semetic cultures in general. Stygians are the more fantasical/mystical aspects of Egyptians. Hyrkanians are Mongols. Zamora is like a combo between Castillian and Gypsy cultures. Kush is Ethiophia/Ancient African Kingdoms in general..

Unfortunately, only 3 of these races are playable (last I checked?). So you have Gaul, Carolingians, and Egyptians. Isn't too hard to come up with a theme for any of those.

Whatever though! Bat Country is fine. Personally, I'd go with LotW (Lamentations of the Women).

Heh.. all this discussion over a guild name.  You're going to see all kinds of stupid shit, given that it's a pvp-game.  From R30s to Happy Bunny Slayers.

Bat Country is fine, I wouldn't fret about it. It's far less likely to get you killed than anything else you might come up with.   Besides, you'd screw-up Schild's branding otherwise!  :drill:

I need at least some sandboxy world features to keep my interest. I try to make the best of other types of games, but really, they're shit. The only "world-y" game that I outright quit was Eve, but that's only because it resembles a bloomberg ticker surrounded by a black hole of nothingness. So it's shit too.

Also, I need more than a handful of cookie cutter classes. That helps.


Title: Re: Roll Call [For Bat Country/Non-Bat Country]
Post by: Signe on May 15, 2008, 08:03:24 AM
Not all the servers will be open for the early access and they've not even put up a list of names yet.  I think Schildy will have to come up with a plan, like picking a letter or a number or an egg or sommat.  Also, are we going to uselessly try and get people to use TS?  Might need it if we actually get to the point where we can have a siege, or if Furiously decides to play.  Whichever comes first.


Title: Re: Roll Call [For Bat Country/Non-Bat Country]

If there's a server named Crom, you will pick it.

Post by: Signe on May 15, 2008, 08:32:14 AM
Oh good.  They sorted it out.
Quote
The gates to Age of Conan open in just a few days from now and legions of adventurers can hardly wait to set foot on Hyborian soil. Many want to chose their future home (also known as ‘Server’) beforehand and we know the list below has been eagerly awaited.

Since we know how important those server names are we ran several polls on all our community forums to find out which names each territory prefers the most. We then distributed those names among the different territories/languages.

These servers are the ones that will be available on 17th of May when the Early Access play starts. The servers are scaled to modern industry standards, and will hopefully serve as your home for years to come! During Early Access we will closely monitor the number of players on each server to find out which types are the popular ones. Additional servers will then be made available for launch.

So, without further ado: here are the servers for the Early Access starting 17th of May:

US Servers (Early Access 17th of May)

PvE Servers
• Set
• Dagoth
• Zug
• Omm
• Derketo
• Thog
• Wiccana
• Gwahlur (recommended Oceanic)
• Anu

PvP Servers
• Tyranny
• Bane
• Deathwisper
• Bloodspire (recommended Oceanic)
• Doomsayer

RP-PvP Server
• Cimmeria



European English Servers (Early Access 17th of May)


PvE Servers
• Crom
• Dagon
• Ymir
• Bori
• Astoreth

PvP Servers
• Fury
• Wildsoul

RP-PvP Server
• Aquilonia



French Servers (Early Access 17th of May)


PvE Server
• Ishtar

PvP Server
• Ferox

RP-PvP Server
• Stygia



German Servers (Early Access 17th of May)


PvE Servers
• Mitra
• Asura

PvP Server
• Aries

RP-PvP Server
• Asgard



Spanish Server (Early Access 17th of May)

• Zingara (PvE)

Post by: Miasma on May 15, 2008, 10:13:39 AM
That is another bizarre thing to do on Funcom's part.  This means that all the geared up, pre-recruited mega guilds are going to be squished onto the same servers and that the launch day ones will only have less organized groups.  And from the other thread they are only doing this so that they can keep closed beta running a few measly more days?  I'm certain they have more bugs to fix than they can handle already so they should just shut down closed beta, make those servers into live ones and let anyone who preordered get the download and play on the seventeenth.  I don't know what these guys are smoking.

Edit:  It also means all the hardcore and fanbois will be on the head start servers, the launch day servers will probably suffer from far greater population declines.

Edit:  It also means all the hardcore and fanbois will be on the head start servers, the launch day servers will probably suffer from far greater population declines.

The opposite could just as well be true. With the Early Access servers being dominated by a handfull of legacy guilds, the servers coming up later could be the most competitive for players not already in a zerg or legacy guild. Each Early Access PvP server will probably each have 10+ 100 man guilds already linedup. If you have a smallish or new guild that you form inside the game itself, you'll probably never own a city or borderkeep or whatever on an EA server.

Hmm...  In SB the major guilds split up servers to reduce competition adding it's many, many problems.  That could be an issue here as well.

If you ignore the 'dont OOC in general chat, thats not RP' arguments that go on regularly I still find generally rp servers to have better populations but I'm not that fussed.  I tried to find out what the actually rulesets for each server type was and just got some vague -  these servers will have extra rules.  I couldn't find anywhere that actually states the pvp servers are full FFA.

I don't really know which response to use to answer that clearly, but you get your mount for every toon you level to the appropriate level (40?), across the whole account. Account-wide. Should I have said that to begin with?

I probably wouldn't have minded a PvP server so much if I hadn't played the OB or read the forums.  I had people on three separate occasions threaten me for almost very nearly no reason in beta.  Of course, I said nasty vile things about the size of their wee wees and mocked them for running around in man knickers and frocks afterwards.  As fun as that was, I don't REALLY want to play with them.  And "they" seem to be everywhere in AoC.  It seems worse than SB or WoW.  Hopefully, they don't want to be called carebears so they'll leave the PvE servers to people who don't give a toss.

Isn't that the whole point of FFA? If you don't like 'em, kill 'em?

In carebear land, you can mute them but that's about it.

I don't want to bother, though.  Maybe it would be better in the winter when the weather annoys me.  I'm looking more forward to WAR PvP than I am AoC PvP, though I enjoyed much of the OB.  ALSO - I seem to be much too casual for FFA PvP at the moment.  It would take too long to get anywhere.  I want to siege, but I don't want the hassle of getting there.

Roger that, that's why I PvP in EVE. (No time commitments to make sure you are Uber Level 120312 like everyone else).

But if leveling is really fast in AoC, then that may not be as big of an issue.. we'll see!

Their official forums have been losing functionality all day and are now appearing white and without a style sheet.  Me thinks they are blowing the forums away and will start tomorrow from scratch.

I was about to ask when EA actually started for the US.

BTW, can people from the UK, Norway, and other full blood/gore/nipples allowed content viewers connect to US servers?  Or did they stick to the regional purchase thing (you play it where you bought it)?  Did they ever finalize who could play what version?

Zug is fine with me.  Who cares?  It's probably even the unofficial Swiss server and sure to be quiet.  Especially after 10 PM, Swiss time.  God, you can't even pee standing up over there past 10 PM.  Not that I ever tried, just sayin'....

Just so you know:

I only played enough in beta to decide whether or not to get the game. I don't know any of the intricacies or have any of the important bullshit memorized. In other words, teamspeak will be interesting. I prefer experiencing MMOGs from the beginning with no prior knowledge. Doing so tends to keep me subbed to the game much longer. Anyway, yea, just wanted to let you all know. I'm all ready for the clusterfuck tomorrow though.

Default  Server list Early Access (revamped)
As we added a new PvP Ruleset (Culture PvP) we had to tweak the different numbers of servers and also names a little bit. So the new list now is as follows:


US Servers (Early Access 17th of May)

PvE Servers
• Set
• Dagoth
• Zug
• Omm
• Derketo
• Thog
• Wiccana
• Gwahlur (recommended Oceanic)

PvP Servers
• Tyranny
• Bane (Culture PvP)
• Deathwisper
• Bloodspire (recommended Oceanic)
• Doomsayer
• Stormrage

RP-PvP Server
• Cimmeria (RP)


And we will of course add mores servers for launch. Details to follow soon.

Also:

Default New PvP Ruleset: Culture PvP
As part of celebrating the release of Age of Conan we are happy to unravel a brand new PvP ruleset that has not previously been disclosed: The Culture PvP ruleset! Note that this new PvP server type is experimental and players on these servers must expect an ongoing change to the ruleset.

The goal of this PvP server-type is to stimulate war behind the three cultures of Cimmeria, Aquilonia and Stygia. As a player on a Culture PvP server, you are shielded from lone travelers of your own culture, however you may still group with any culture and form a group and attack anyone.

The Culture PvP ruleset is an evolving ruleset that will be tweaked and polished based on player-feedback in the months to come. Although it is, at least currently, possible to make guilds across cultures, pure culture groups and guilds will be endorsed on this server, and as such players on the Culture PvP servers must prepare that the future will hold continued changes to the ruleset.

We have changed to ruleset on two servers that were previously flagged as full PvP. The homes for the Culture PvP servers are:


Bane (US)
Twilight (EU)

With best regards,

Funcom

Some people said they picked up copies today at GameStops.  I don't know if that's true.  They've shipped out early, too, and some people have had them delivered.  Unless you have the three day early access (though early access is looking like a myth) you can't play until the 20th.

I don't have FRAPS so I can't see the FPS, but it's not bad - just a little stuttering when a new texture has to load. I turn it down a little to reduce the stuttering, but I still use higher values than the default 'High' settings (which doesn't even have any AA on).

Ah ha, thanks! Seeing 15 FPS when looking at the city, 20+ FPS when in the jungle at max ... pretty sure I was getting better before I restarted, so something else kicked in during the restart.

I'm starting to think that DX10 isn't implimented. I set the patcher settings to go to DX10, but upon entering the game, the drop down selection was DX9. I changed it in game to DX10, with the usual dialog box saying that the machine may seize up while the settings take, but nothing really happened, other than the drop down menu saying it was DX10 now.

I was going to try and ignore this game but all the positive impressions are wearing me down. I'll probably be joining you guys soon.

So If I purchase the AoC US version, I can play both EU and US servers ? If this is so, I'm buying a retail key right now  :ye_gods: Getting Collectors Edition on Friday, but I'm bored of waiting.

EDIT : I also have the Fileplanet beta client, can I patch that one ?

No.

You positive ? Anyhow, how do people with guest passes download the game for example ?

What, you didn't read *EVERY SINGLE POST* in the AoC forum? Come on man, Signe is going to have to repeat herself AGAIN.

I'm referring to "out of the box". You can't just log into the fileplanet one and begin patching. Its dead. So, other than some really convoluted poking around in various files or some other crazy crap that i don't know about.

I'm about 100% sure. Because i tried. :grin:

As for the download, i assume for now you may have to loan disks. Not sure about that at all.

Ah worry not, I figured it out. Seems I'll have a US version and an EU version though.

Hi I'm a 10th Ranger named Furio, can I get a guild invite?  I'll be looking for Viin and Signe to ask them online.

This game rocks.

Schild is on the most, since apparently he doesn't bathe, sleep, pee, or work.

I do the first 3 and had an interview this morning. For a job that'll let me play EVEN MORE. Fuck I want this job.

Blarg. I bought it. *smacks forehead*

Playing some bear shaman guy. No clue what I'm doing. I have no spells yet that I can see. No clue what to do with my skill points. Haven't figured out the chat window yet. Combat is pretty durn fun although I'm mostly mashing my fist against the keyboard. I like the action RPG feel to it, though. Anyways... back to it!

Well since I'm apparently unable to resist any MMOG - particularly one that even Schild enjoys - I'll be picking this up this weekend. Will be on Sat. night as a complete noob.

So, if I wanted to eventually join up with the rest of you folks for conversations, long fights on the beach under the moonlight and whatnot, but couldn't use any form of teamspeak*, would I still be welcome?


*PC is in the living room and I would drive my fiance nucking futs if I were talking on teamspeak all the time. :(

Ya, that would probably be what I'd do. Although I'm hesitant to hear what f13's teamspeak is like. I'm scared but also extremely curious. Is there a killer with a knife behind the door? I might get face stabbed, but I gotta know!

I heard something about the accounts being international, does that mean I can play on US server with my EU account if I apply some kind of voodoo to my configs? I'd be interested in having a toon on Zug, but I don't know if I'm willing to chip up another subscription fee for what would essentially be an alt. Or do I atleast get away with one key? Or neither? Help!

From what I've read here, and def dont quote me on this, that you can change an .INI setting or something to log into EU servers as opposed to US.
