Mind posting the specs of your system? Just curious.

I don't usually give out brand names, because I'm cheap that way.

That said...

EVGA n/Force 790i
Quad Core 3.0GHz QX9650
4 Gig 800MHz PC2 6400 DDR2 SDRAM
CPU and Graphics cards liquid cooling Unit
Dual NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2
AGEIA PhysX 100 Series PCI-E Accelorator Card

1.1 KW Power Supply
160 GB 10000 rpm SATA Drive
1T 7200 SATA Drive
Primary CD-DVD+I-RRW+I-DL

Sounds like its time for you to play Crysis.

Sorry as a principle I avoid all games through Electronic Arts. I don't care how good the game is, I can't stand Electronic Arts. They have ruined more games than it is worth going through the list. Therefore I'm fully 100% prejudice against them.

I'm picking up the game later this week!

Could anyone tell me what happens if you die in AoC?

If it's anything like WoW's spirit form thing there's no way I'm getting this game.

No it doesn't. 3 is just recommended.

I haven't got EA so i'll let those eager beavers tell you what happens. All i know is that there is no harsh death penalty (such as looting), which would explain alot of gankers - they have nothing to lose.

Aww

I did hear casters were weak on the forums pre-EA, but i was rolling a barb anyway

Just 1 more day! KILL KILL KILL

GUYS I'M HAVING A VISION

In one week from now people will start complaining on the AoC forums about how difficult the game is to complete because they die so easily. After a few posts it turns out they have all made female characters and runs around without armor and refuse to put it back on because, well.... TITS

warpedheat101 · May 22, 2008, 09:44 AM // 09:44

with dying you basically just res at a shrine with -.02% damage and magic damage.....it can stack with multiple deaths you really dont even notice it

You respawn at the nearest graveyeard/respawn point with a death penalty(basically lower your stats). You can remove the death penalty by going back to the place where you died and clicking on your tombstone.

Etta · May 22, 2008, 10:18 AM // 10:18

Penalties for getting yourself kill is harsher on the pvp side as far as I know, and thx to man upstair for the no item decay.

Thanks.Might be tempted to get this now

Anyone can tell what all you get if yu buy collector edition? Is it actually worth it to buy collector?

~ Dan ~ · May 22, 2008, 01:10 PM // 13:10

You can find the price of both the normal edition and CE on the website, along with what they contain. Can people stop being lazy?

Etta · May 22, 2008, 01:15 PM // 13:15

Someone on AOC forum mentioned that the game has a few problem with amd chip. I'm using the 64 X2, havnt' run into any major issue yet, although the game did close itself a couple of times but no blue screen or anyhting.

Most of you guys are using intel chip, right?

Malice Black · May 22, 2008, 01:16 PM // 13:16

Good luck finding the CE.

My character screen is still bugged. Every time I log in I have to reset the graphics options, otherwise all I see is a waving flag.

Core2Duo>AMD

I think there already are people whining about it, mainly carebears who got killed by a higher level and decided to cry about it

Gamespot is hosting a 3 hours live-play session. You can watch the stream at Gamespot.

What: GameSpot's Live Gameplay Marathon - Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures
When: Friday, May 23 from 6 p.m. PT to 9 p.m. PT
Where: Right here to watch the show, but to join Kevin in the game you need to find Ursobear on the Set server
Who: GameSpot's Kevin VanOrd, Ricardo Torres, and Lark Anderson

This is probably a good chance for those who do not have the game to get a good impression about it. OK, probably not about highend content, but this early one cannot expect better than that.

What really made me chuckle was the char name of the guy:
... but to join Kevin in the game you need to find Ursobear on the Set server

I bet he is a bear shaman...^^

I'd appreciate it if anyone from EU could spare a buddy key for me(when you are able to retrieve it). I have a US early access account, but I'm considering switching to the EU version of the game because it suits my schedule perfectly. So I'd like to see the latency I get on EU servers before buying the game again.
