Hey guys, looking at getting into a new MMORGP, AoC has caught my eye. Just wanted to know if any one is playing this atm? experiences? whats the PvE like? PVP? how does it run on your computers?

Cheers

Anthony

I was keen, but saw some reviews and have followed it for a bit on mmorpg.com

It looks shit.. Basically everything is instanced. There is like never more than 50+ people in one area, instead they copy multiple zones and if you want to be with your friend you need to jump servers/zones to be in the same area.

Their cheap ass way of trying to fix lag.

And the fact that it's just a button mashing fest..

Wait for warhammer.

If that fails we can kill ourselves.

If you'd actually played the game you'd know that it's not just a button mashing fest. If you win a single PvP battle button mashing, i'd take off my pants.

Age of Conan is an MMO that actually needs skill to win. None of this point and click crap to attack. You need different key presses to pump out combos which is nice, and the combat is far more realistic because you strafe/run during battle while attacking. None of this standing in one spot jabbing eachother with sticks.

I'm playing the PvP assassin class, and a kill in PvP involves coating my daggers in poison, using stealth to catch the other player off guard and knifing them with a poison damage enhancment technique, by which time they've tried to flee on their mount. I whip out my crossbow as they run (all the while taking poison damage) and pick them off, dismounting them from their horse/rhino or whatever it may be. I return to stealth and just when it has appeared they've escaped, I lift the cloaking, delivering a final blow.

Try doing that with button mashing. AoC is the WoW kiiller no matter how you look at it; with half a million players within the first week and a half and not a single copy left on shelves at retail at the moment, you cant go wrong getting into it. :)

Warhammer will be bigger then most people think in the australian market.

They are having dedicated oceanic servers based in aus... Wouldnt it be nice to play a melee clas that doesnt attack from 20 feet away due to lag?

      How much roughly to convert stock r32gtr to single high mount turbo + ecu and tune

      FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Watermouse · Posted

      I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again

      Rv37 400r questions

      By sonicii · Posted

      No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
