My patch is stuck at 630mb / 631mb arrrrrrgh

Just restart it if you need, the patcher remembers where you quit.

And I played only played HoX to about 15 in Beta but thought they were quite fun. A caster with 2h greatsword and plenty of fire based combo's and spells

In all honesty, I have no idea. I only have three machines to base my suggestions on - mine, which is basically the same as yours except for an X1800XT 256mb graphics card (and an E6400 - no overclocking) - and two machines which run high easily, but are both very much more up-to-date than mine.

If you asked me to make a wild guess, though, I would say that a decent stable overclock and an 8800 GTS should be able to utilise High Detail.

Bear in mind that, even on Medium, I think the game is very pretty (and even not counting the graphics it's just bloody good fun!).

Ok thanks a lot.

Quick question, Is a PVE server in AoC the same as in wow for example? Just the same as a PVP but without World pvp? Thanks.

So anyone doing crafting? Whats it like? EQ2 or WoW/LoTRO

bayo000 · 22 May 2008 at 16:48

you need to be lvl 40 iirc for crafting and from reading here i dont think many if any1 is there yet
was thinking i'd get AoC in couple of months as im enjoing lotro atm but got email today from funcom giving me "The Drinking Cape", hmm might pick it up over the weekend

Well that's disappointing - just got an email thanking me for signing up to the Conan newsletter and giving me a free in game item - a drinking cape! Great, except I already have one of those from the stupid Collector's edition.

The bloody XP ring better be worth it lol.

Do you have to download any stupidly big patches after you have installed the game? I've heard that you need to download a 15GB patch, =\

From the disk install i had about 10 min of patching which was 2 seperate patches and my client is ready

Revolution6000 · 22 May 2008 at 17:32

It's like 700MB+ of patching from retail, not sure if the 630MB was the last as I went out while it patched.

How big were the patches? My usual download speed is only like 130KB/S which can be rather annoying when waiting for big patch downloads, especially on new games.

I cant really remember the size of the patches but i was getting 700KB/s steady download speed.
