AoC - 400.000 players (27.05.08)

They're bad. You want to play a mage, play a priest. Better mages anyway.

I really like my demo,,,,,,,,,havent died nearly as many times as my necro. LOL

Of course I really like my ranger and my assasin and my dark templar and my ToS.

[Miasma]

God I love my Priest of Mitra.  I am going to be shattered when they nerf us.  They seem to care more about PvP balance though so maybe we won't get hit since we're not overpowered there.

All I want to do is repulse->move to the side->lance over and over.  I'm grinding in the cannibal cave and still liking it.

You havent leveled with a necro or demo AE group have you?  I havent played one but after getting from 47 to 50 in about an hour with some guildmates i think they are damn near OP.  Maybe not very good solo but they are a must have at higher levels for grinding.

Just to give you an idea of how regular players are, here's my commentary on a group I'm leading:

[11:44] f13dotnet: holy crap
[11:44] f13dotnet: i'm leading a pub group to sanctum
[11:44] f13dotnet: figured I'd do a good deed for the day
[11:44] f13dotnet: a 45 and a 46
[11:44] f13dotnet: neither have done it
[11:44] f13dotnet: don't know where it is
[11:44] f13dotnet: I forgot how bad casual players are at games
[11:44] f13dotnet: the Tempest of Set I'm with didn't know he had a second skill tree
[11:44] f13dotnet: while the conquerer is wearing level 10 gear

[Brogarn]

Yes. Yes. Please keep up the AoC talk.

*scratches arm and watches the clock*

3 hours at least until I can play.

*taps vein*

Please... just one more hit thread...

 

[Venkman]

Then play a Priest of Mitra or Tempest of Set if you want to get someone leveled before nerfs. Or a Ranger.

Schweet. Think it was Tempest. I remember the PoM not working for me because I kept expecting DPS->Melee->selfheal and instead got DPS->gimped HoT->dead. But that was awhile ago.

[schild]

You're kinda gimped until you get Radiance and then the feat that makes healing yourself damage the enemy. My heal spell is my strongest attack spell at this point. And it heals for a shitton. It basically ends battles at whatever level.

TOS has the same sort of heal spell and gimpy HoT, but it doens't hurt enemies.

stuff

So I found that place with no problem... that make me irregular? 

[schild]

I ended up having the guy kill himself and I walked back to Tesso and led him there. I gave him the coordinates before. I'm still trying to figure out how he killed himself west of Sanctum in the wildlands at level 45 >_<. Crazy shit.

I don't even want to talk about how this group turned out. It was not great.

[grunk]

None of the members of press got to level 40, obviously.

I'm going to rip them an asshole.

The honeymoon won't stop if they learn to communicate and fucking patch. The first isn't likely as the CRM and PR at funcom is probably the worst in the industry. The latter is likely.

after all your bitching, the fact remains the same.

This is the only mmo that is actually trying to push the genre. now b4 u all go ape shit and say "but SWG had that" guess what, none of them was able to actually pull it off and put it into an actual fun game. Sure EvE has all kinds of great features but the game is ZZZzzzzzZZZ boring as shit.

This game is really good, sure got lots of bugged abilties, they nerfed my barb and my necro ... all kinds of bugged mobs... but the fact remains.

THE GAME IS FUN. and for you schild who rolls on a pve server, your dont even play the same game i do, so w/e.

[Signe]

GRUNK!

[schild]

You know, I don't mind that he's ragging on anyone because we all know he's retarded and/or absolutely insane.

But I really wish even the insane would read everything. At least he doesn't use ellipses.

[Abelian75]

Yeah, schild, stop being such an AoC hater.

[schild]

My bad. I must've blacked out for 150 hours over the last 2 weeks.

[Brogarn]

I think grunk caused one of my neurons to sprain. Because I feel like I have an ice cream headache after reading his post. Is this common? I mean, I've lurked for a while, but have only recently really started getting into these forums. Anyways... off for some Tylenol.

[Signe]

Grunk! is our mascot.  I don't expect him to be clever or profound, I just expect him to stay Grunky.

Please shut down all neural functioning prior to entering a thread touched by Grunk.  Use this experience as a reminder of a very important posting safety habit in the future.

I just want him to write "fucken" 5 times in one sentence again. I seriously loved that and it is not the same when anyone else tries it.

Noted. And thank you.
