[chhrriissss]

[akasyko]

i see you get that weird texture not loading bug sometimes too

[ginkytinky1234]

kl vid, bit laggy tho

[Orlyowl8]

installing AOC now :), how big is the first update?

[windsand89]

Dont know, but it dl's pretty fast. 800-900kb/s for me.

[Orlyowl8]

My Download is Slow xD.

Im lvl 12 Now :p but my Vid Card is a bit to weak i think so i cant play with Nice FPS and 1680 x 1050 (8600 GT Overclock edition) :P but it still looks nice :D

[3p1d3m1crage]

Awesome vid man, my barb is only lvl 23 atm because of a memory leak problem in aoc that only like 3/4 of people experience :/

and i get it bad lol...

But anyways, im hoping to hit this class to 80 before Warhamemr comes out, so i can see if i really love this game and dont want to quit for a few years, i cant wait to see at 80 how the pvp and how fun it is to gank people as a barb, just run around and killing clothies in the "pvp area" (idk what its called yet)

[MmoInfo]

How have you leveled so fast...? and btw, what level do you get the 2 down arrow attacks? how are they controlled?

[windsand89]

I have just quested my way up. Kinda stuck atm now thou. Melee classes get those two extra buttons at level 40, used with Q and E.

[Orlyowl8]

Alrdy lvl 44 :O? is it Easy to level Windsand?

And AOC is instanced just like Guildwars? or Less instanced as Guild wars?

[windsand89]

level 48 now actually, but there is people already 80 out there.

Yes, it is istanced, the areas/zones are very big and have many places to explore. I will upload another video sometime later today/tomorow, where i will post some more footage, pictures, maps and some game art. Will try to make you able to see how big the areas are there, i am working on it as we speak! :)

[Orlyowl8]

So Mabus and Windsand, you will see People in the instanced zone? :O

[Reinpret]

yes you will, infact there are quite a few new videos showing people going about thier quests and stealing mobs from people.

[Reinpret]

great job man liked it alot. Perhaps when you choose which horse mount you want, you can let us know what types and attributes they have? Hopefully even a Horse mount/travel video? hehe

[windsand89]

Sure, I can do that, just need 2 more gold now. Takes some time to earn money in the game.

[MabusPwns]

It's instanced.. but all the isntances theres people there, unlike guildwars... except the main dungeon instances

[Orthias]

as far as the instancing is concerned, i can see how it would be problem for some, but i come from 3 years of Guild Wars - now that's a game that had the hell instanced out of it - so it really doesn't bother me at all. I guess it depends on what people have gotten used to...

Anyway the game looks incredible, can't wait to play it. Great video, by the way.

[windsand89]

yea, guild wars was instance hell, good game thou! really liked the PvP there:)

Thanks!

[windsand89]

i am playing on medium specs when im questing, and high spec when i am exploring. The fps tends to drop drasticly for time to time. So can hardly wait untill i get my new ram later this week!

[windsand89]

Ops, did not mean to mark that as spam. Anyways, the zones are huge! and the envirnoment is beatiful i think. I really enjoy exploring every site of each zone, getting on to a high top to get a clear view of the landscape. When playing on high spec the horizon looks allmost real.

[honkthedank]

Looks linear and zoned and instanced and boring.

[windsand89]

It is quite fun, eventhou it has quite some many bugs at the moment. The zoning part sucks yes, but the quests and storyline is very impressive compared to wow imo. The battle system is really good and combos really get you on the edge in battles.

[honkthedank]

What about /instanceselection

How many instances are there usually in one zone?

[windsand89]

every time one instance is full, another one is created. After what i have read ( i am not sure) the number of instances in each zone will be lowered and the instance cap raised. Because of the large amount of players playing at the release time of the game it is many instances now. Hopefully this will be done somthing about soon.

[Icecube88]

what settings u play on? what specs

[honkthedank]

Exploring is very important to me so is there alot of exploring available cos there it looked like you're restricted to one path.

[windsand89]

well, there is alot more paths to walk than on wow, in the places like Connal's Valley, you are kinda pushed to walk a straight line in a sort of way, but its like walking through thousand needles in wow. Other places are like walking through Tanaris and winterspring etc.

[honkthedank]

So... Overall would you suggest me to try the game? I really like exploring and love good combat and overall really like fun gameplay without a boring level grind. And what do you think of the zoning and instancing?

[windsand89]

There is grinding there, but the grinding quests aint as boring as in WoW imo, since the combat system i alot faster and more interesting. At the moment the game lacks of lvl 45+ content, but it is somthing that funcom is working on. Personaliy i like the exploring here more than in other MMO's than i have played, since the places here kinda got some personality to it, if you know what i mean. About the zoning and instancing, you get used to it, but it ruins pvp, and makes it hard for gankers.

[honkthedank]

So would you suggest I give it a go?

[windsand89]

Yeah, but if i allso recomend you wait for about a month, untill they have fixed most of the major bugs. Some people get stuck while they zone etc.

[honkthedank]

Alright thanks. Well I'll talk to you later or something, I've subscribed to your videos so hopefully you'll show more AoC footage.

[windsand89]

No prob. ill start making another movie as soon as the servers open up. And it will be better edited. Talk to you later mate!

[honkthedank]

and what is exploring like?
