Best Of

The mechanic works fine and all the stuff about adding faster regen or faster this just takes away from the experience of the game. Some may not like the current settings and maybe they will change who knows but if you want it like other games no need to play this one. I don't like a lot of more modern mmo's and don't play them I am enjoying this one a lot so far because of the things steven has said about their design philosophies and it not being a game for everyone. I don't want a bland cookie cutter game of the other modern mmo's I want a more interesting challenge where you have to think about what you are doing and not soloing virtually everything in sight without ever running low on mana or health. I want even harder mobs and even slower leveling, I know I am in the minority there but this is feeling better then things like eso etc.

I would like a toggle in setting that makes it so none of your attack skills will never ever hit a non-combatant (Green Flagged). I want this as an option when I am flagged green or purple.

Probably because the server isn't up. Try again tomorrow.

i hate when people are so cold and uninforming. it's not just cause the servers are down, it has nothing to do with the game servers. this is a problem with authintication from intrepids cloud service. all i can say is that when they(dev;s) are patching config/booting up new servers, as well as the many patches for glitches,bugs,model rend,terrain plots,pathing issues, the cloud service might be put on a hold status. i belive that is the issue here. because it is effecting old and new players alike. i hope this helps. and sorry for people that just want to "brush it off". good luck. p.s. i'm having the same problem. hope to see you playing soon.

Nah the other guy is right on this one. Sure you and others can run into authentication errors during the test, but currently it's due to the servers not being online. Direct quote from the discord:

"**Friendly FYI for our new First Wave friends** - While you can install the launcher for Alpha Two now, **you may not be able to install the game client until the realms are up for this weekend's test**"

.

You need to wait till they say that you can patch the game client, that's when they have the authentication up and running.

The zoom that we currently can use is too far away from the character, since its obviously always better to play in the max zoom distance it makes everyone stuck playing with this zoom that make your character so small and a less enjoyable experience. The world of AoC looks amazing, beautiful and im truly enjoying the views but the characters are not that, they're ugly, the animations are also not good and the zoom out make it worse. (I know it can be a place holder, i'm just concerned that the team wont give it the necessary attention in the future.)
