*** Official Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Thread***

Not sure how many german, french spanish italian etc , but there were 22 english servers initially

EDIT : here we go, there were 52 EU servers initially (22 english)
 
Seems a weird way of doing it tbh.

Not really a lot of choice I guess, raise the caps much more and the crashing that people are experiencing will get a lot worse I guess.

Just happy that something is being done queue-wise. Just need to see what the plan is with my guild now. Stay or go :)
 
I was thinking more along the lines of splitting the zones onto different servers even more. Not sure how technically viable that is in keeping load times down though.

Dont think I would like that, I really cant stand loading screens in MMOs, divide the zones up too much more and it would begin to feel like EQ2 or AoC to me.

I'm happy with the cloning idea :)
 
I levelled to lvl 8 and went to pick up a new skill (had 2 options) chose one thinking i can choose the other after......wrong :(

Can I respec later on if i messed up? :o
 
Bought this tonight as a digital download and am having all sorts of problems with it. Servers allow me to connect and create characters, however, starting as a dwarf causes the game to crash before it loads the world, starting as a Empire or Chaos lets me in the world and I can wander round without problem, until I kill a mob at which point it dies and crashes back to the desktop. If I don't kill a mob it stays in game fine and I can collect and hand in quests that don't involve killing mobs. kill a mob and it's straight back to the desktop everytime.

I've tried different graphics settings, different gfx and sound drivers, changing NIC card settings and nothing seems to fix the problem. Even tried the DEP stuff, but that made no difference.

Beta played fine, never crashed once, but I can't play this at all :mad:

Just running a filecheck at the moment.

Anyone else had similar problems? What was the solution to fix the problem?

Thanks.

Updating Directx fixed it for me.
 
Well, that was along weekend!

Took all Destro characters to levels 7-9 to get a feel for them to see if I like them, except Disciple of Khaine and Chosen. They were very dull imho. Witch Hunter I also found to be very "meh", as you're doing ok, untill someone decides to hit you, then you die very fast.

Sorceress was AWESOME in pvp, just let your.....err....overload thing....build up to 100% and then you're sitting 2 shotting people :D. But yeah, solo it was too dull for me to carry on, its just a matter of firing off two err...."fireball things" at the mob then wandering along to the next one. Magus wasnt so bad either.....but I couldnt get used to the DPS after sorceress :P. And that horror thing was just a neverending pile of crap.

Of the healers I liked Shaman the best. Zealot was just too pure healing for my liking I thing, didnt really seem to stand out from a generic character in my head for me to want to play. Not like the wee green chap with the mushroom belt. He's awesome, and runs in a funny manner! Only problem with him was that in RvR I kept getting really crap groups that refused to kill the enemy priests, let alone go around the farms of turrets that dwarfs threw up....so it was just a constant grind of healing the retards standing getting pummelled. I couldn't be bothered with that.

That left me with Squig Herder, Black Ork and Maurader. These three I all like a lot, but am beginning to go off the Black Orc a lot. Its damage just isnt there, sure you can take a complete kicking and still be running around bashing elfs on the head, but you dont semm to actually kill anything until a mate comes along to help you. :(

The Squig herder I really really like, but you keep reading all these things on forums about them being gimped, and its true, they are lacking in burst damage......and it I think it reminds me too much of a hunter from WoW for me to fully enjoy. Might give the wee green chap another go tomorow though.

Finally, the Maurader. I love this character, with his shape changing arm. Been having hours of fun today in RvR just running around behind groups and nuking a couple of priests before dying. They always try and leg it, and then they die, Impale owns! He's a bit of an ugly brute mind, and looks like someone has temped him out of a street gutter to the fight with the promise of a bit of change for a cuppa tea afterwards.

Reckon I'll continue with the Maurader for now, unless of course that little green chap with the farting ball of teeth sufficiently impresses me tomorow.

Anyone here got a higher level Squig Herder or Maurader and would like to comment on how it plays?

Seems filecheck fixed the problem.
downloaded 178mb and it seems to work ok killing mobs now.
I'll try the dwarf tomorrow and see if that's fixed also, but I've had a game now and I'm a bit happier :)

LOL oops it was the file check what fixed it for me, look a few pages back i said it downloaded 500mb :p
 
Little stuck on what is probably an easy quest :)

"A Subtle Wind" I believe is the quest.
I've been given a Skeleton Key and told to use it to enter the Salzenmund Inn and steal valuables before the owners return.
I believe I've found the inn - certainly inside the marker inside Salzenmund.
However don't seem to be able to use the Skeleton key.
The door to the inn is open, nobody inside.
Just cannot see a location to use the skeleton key and I've tried everywhere!

Anyone done this one?
