Age of Conan

I think the main problem is people without any stats to speak of (IE not lvl80s) aren't conducting proper tests on them and posting on forums saying "BROKEN", to which then most poeple take as gospel.

Get to lvl80, test stuff for yourself, believe your own two eyes, profit.

You just said there's a 1% increase in movement speed per 100 points you put into that skill, may I ask how you tested this and how you noted this 1% difference? Did you and your guildies run a relay?

An 8% increase in movement speed is still not worth 800 points, especially when it's non-combat only. I'd rather put my skill points into one of the skills that actually works, like... Erm... Erm... Climbing? :confused:
 
Stop watch (my phones :) ) + longish run between two points, note down the times with the different amount of points put into run speed, then with the gear and see if it all adds up. But don't take my word for the 1%, as if im wrong then im spreading as much disinformation as the morons that inhabit the AoC forums, try it for yourself see if the numbers work out.
 
I suspect they'll up that percentage at some point in line roughtly with Dark age of camelots out of combat run buffs. Even if they doubled it you'd find more people put points in, it does make a difference although it depends how large the zone/instances are, no point bothering if they're small.

find out if/when I get my laptop so I can play :P

What a load of tripe, I was hoping you'd actually reply to my question with this sort of weirdness. The 1% per 100 points figure is all over the forums, that's exactly where you read it.

Sitting with a stop watch on your phone and timing it, doing the same experiment in such perfectly controlled conditions and getting such accurate results down to 1%. You must think I was born yesterday. :rolleyes:

Yes, I read it here: http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=51367

I then went and tested it for myself as I also had read about people saying it doesn't work at all, not knowing who to believe I went with finding out, the guy in that thread is right imo.

That guy has also done tests into things like endurance, I haven't tried that out myself yet, but I will do before I go spouting off what works and doesn't work about it.
 
So you **** me off for paying attention to "the 12 year olds on the forums" but you went out of your way to experiment with the stop watch on your phone to get results down to the 1% difference (which I still think is codswallop), just to see if they were right. Give me a break. :D

I've seen some people act weird in defending a game, but you mate have won the gold. :D

As for endurance: I've not noticed it do a damn thing, same with my feats.
 
That guy provided a pretty comprehensive thread with lots of pretty numbers, a bit more than your usually "lolomfgitsbroke" posts and even then I tried it out myself to make sure.

Here is his endurance: http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=52121

I won't say whether thats true or not as I haven't tested it (or seen several other people provided such numbers to back it up).

What I don't do is glance over general read peoples offhanded comments and made my mind up based on those...

You mean that one post I made today about skills/feats being broken?

Other than that I've not complained about the game, I think it's great.

You mean like you did when you read 1% per 100 points on the forums.

No, like I did when I read that guys thread, which as I say is about as comprehensive as you're going to find about AoC stats and then tested it for MYSELF.

What is your beef here? you still don't believe it works? you think it works but the numbers aren't right? go and run some tests and make up your own mind on it.

No offence, ok take offence if you like, but I still think you're talking utter tripe if you expect me to believe that you sat there with a stopwatch on a mobile phone and tested so extensively, in such controlled conditions, that you know for a fact it's a 1% difference.

Calling upon Occam's Razor I think it's far simpler to assume you just read it on the forums.

Yup, I just don't think it works. I put quite a lot of points into runspeed and noticed no effect whatsoever, I should at least notice something if I am going to invest so heavily in a skill otherwise it's completely worthless.

I also find it amusing that you decided to jump all over me about runspeed, but when it comes to other stats and feats you seem silent on the issue. Not an Age Of Conan fanboy then, possibly some sort of runspeed fanboy? :o
 
I haven't tested every stat and I will only get around to testing the ones that effect my class. I tested it on the bridge in Old Tarantia, flat and straight, a lot shorter than the route the guy took in his thread so will have a larger error margin in it and whilst I didn't once get 1% exactly, it was all close enough and lines up with his conclusions, note that I didn't even say it was spot on 1% anyway, I just said it was around... it may very well be 0.98% or 1.02%, who knows, but I definetly think it has a postive effect on run speed.

So how many points did you put into runspeed anyway? how did you test it to come to the conclusion that it had zero effect? I am genuinely interested, as I have always enjoyed theory crafting in MMOs.

I have had a quick scan of the thread and did'nt see anything, but is there a link to download the client anywhere?

The full EU client.

Google "age of conan early access client eu" and it'll link to a few sites, I assume it just updates to the latest version and isn't any different from the other version.

It's 13+Gb though :p
