Age of Conan

Psychas go back a few pages and look at the update list I posted.

Performance is really smooth now, laggyness has definitely gone for me. Sinny FOTD has been fixed :p
 
trying to log in now and I am authenticating okay, but get the message cannot connect to the character server.

Anyone else getting this?

you can check the stats of the armour. some of it has defence rating of 1.3% but other bonuses along with it, like additional 45.5 more health or 1% slashing protection or something like that. a higher level white piece may be worse (as in less additional bonuses) but have more defence protection than the green bit 5 lvls below you. then it's up to you to decide if you want more defence or the additional bonuses.

This makes me even more confused. You're saying that I should make the choice based on the stats alone, where as I was expecting an additional armour rating in addition to the stats. From what you're saying a piece of armour that has no stats is effectively useless. i.e. a level 20 vendor purchased grey item, versus a level 5 green drop with stats associated. Logic says that the level 20 should be better, but I can't tell as there's no base armour rating. If the grey vendor purchased item was level 8 and not level 20, then yes they would be close (grey level 8 ~= green level 5).

Perhaps I'm just looking at it all wrong, but the manuals not very clear either :(

Are there any good database websites online yet that can show me what weapons and armour are available and what to aim for from quests or instances?

ok i think i get what you mean. you mean that a lvl 10 set of armour gives a set amount of protection (the base rating) and you want to compare that with another set of armours base rating? is that right?

each set of armour has a defence rating - 0.5% or whatever, so that can be compared across different armour sets. the better armour (green or rare) tends to have additional benefits along with the defence rating. a higher level armour may have a higher defence rating, but may not have anything else (knockback resistance for example).

if there are any hidden stats, or stats that dictate how effective a piece of armour is, i've not found it in game (which is i guess what you're asking). sorry if it's not, i'm confused too now :p
 
Anyone having a problem getting Mirage UI to work since last patch?

I have tried to get it working for 2 hours now, but every time i log into the game i only have the default UI.

YOu've been playing too many MMOs: logic ACTUALLY dictates that the piece of armour with the highest +defense rating is the one providing the greater protection, regardless of its level requirement, vendor you got it from or colour/rarity. There's no hidden numbers afaik.
 
Im using an X1900 XT 512MB ram, running on medium at 1280*1024. With shadows/shaders down and only 2xAA im running this (depending on area) anywhere between 10 and 50, 30-40 outside where the leveling occours is more than playable. Hasn't affected me anyway.
