There is no such thing as too much of a good thing, especially when it requires a monthly.


Edit: the above comment does nothing to progress the OPs thoughts on the item at hand but did seem distantly relevant

I expect for them to try and go outside the box with this one. Its quite easy to come up with really cool stuff, like the bard got a pretty cool and uniqe kit because it is very clear what a bard is.

For example:
•An AOE snare becomes a pit of zombie hands dragging and pulling the enemy.
•A heal ability that spawns little gremlings that run to the nearest and most damaged ally and hug them.

Fun stuff like that i do expect.

Just go play a solo game.
The anti social community is getting out of hand with their entitled stance on a MMO…
Let’s remind them what that actually means.
Find a solo game to ruin your self into oblivion.
Please stop trying to come here and showing your emo kid I gotta be alone downy inspirations.
Go play another game this ones not for you.

During testing it does not have controller support but could be added later down the line, however, there are various keymapping software out there that you could use. I've done it with WoW previously.

Ahhhh, Discord ... ... ...





So not a single VideoGame in the World can do without it, huh ?

Maybe i am just too old, but damn i loathe Discord so hard and i don't want it.
Apologies for my whiney butthurt here.

....I'll just say any player is a good addition to any server, being a solo or community oriented person

Great perspective!

The main reason why I like AoC is because it's not solo friendly.

I agree, but it is also going to cause massive issues post launch.

When the game comes out, everyone will be in a rush to get to the level cap. Groups will be plentiful, this will be good. A month in to that though, lower level groups will dry out - people will still be leveling their first character and so won't be interested in alts or lower level stuff.

People that start the game at this point are going to have a VERY rough time. They are going to complain about it, and other players are going to cite their experiences of the same level range just weeks earlier, where grouping was easy and they didn't have the issues being talked about at all.

People will leave because of this - and both Intrepid and the community need to be aware of this. I am not making any claims as to how many, but people that start the game after the initial rush but before players hit the cap and some roll up alts are just going to have it rough.

Players also need to be aware that at some point, Intrepid *WILL* make the leveling process easier. Those same players that were telling the late starter above how easy leveling was when they did it just weeks earlier will now be telling Intrepid how hard leveling was for them, and how they think it's unfair that new players don't need to go through all of that - and then these players will go off to another thread and complain about the population drop and be disappointed at Intrepid for not doing anything to attract new players and keep them in the game. Almost as if these people put zero thought in to what they are saying.

The above is all just going to happen. It is a given, a forgone conclusion.
