Public Beta Client- Age of War Chapter 1 Update Discussion Megathread

you can use the siege galdron but it very limited in space

I gotta say I’m looking forward to seeing these changes. The stamina thing is interesting but I’m worried it’s still just going to promote spamming whatever since there is no negative consequence for running dry.

The durability is going to be nice as well. We are going back to survival game and I think it’s going to be refreshing.

1 small request for this age. Since legendary gear can’t be repaired, can we get an armor mod that increases temp resistances? I’m sure I’m not the only one that beelines for dragonscale helm so that we can roam around most of the map.

Wow, I see what you mean. That left boob really needs a few more pumps. This update is unbalanced! :smiley:

I’ve only played a little of the beta so far, but early impressions of a low level character. Did not like the less populated Skulker’s. Soon as I got there I thought ā€œOh, someone’s cleared it out, nothing to do, wait, I’m the only one who’s been on… so this is it now? Less enemies, less danger? Nooooooo!ā€ Have not had time to assess the reduced agro range properly yet but if what I see above about super short agro range and more instaheals while fighting is true… NooOoooOOoooO!!! Instaheals in the middle of combat is one of the worst features of current combat, if it’s ramped up, it will not be good for anyone. Please do not do this. I don’t mind the idea of legendaries not being able to be repaired, but it depends on how it’s implemented and what’s bundled with that change. Did not realise durability on them was going to be reduced as well. They became legendary through the ages right? How does that mesh with ā€œthey break after one long fightā€? Imagine if Sauron’s one ring could be destroyed by tapping it with a plastic hammer a few times. Not epic. What about INCREASING their durability, still making them unable to be repaired with kits but able to be repaired at the Volcanic Forge or something using some special mats like blood crystals? Still making people go out and do stuff and engage during end game but not turning legendaries into disposables. Finally for now, I like the idea of not having to wait too long for stamina to replenish, and I’m ok with it running out faster too, but I think you need to keep playing with the balance a lot more to get this right - will expand on that after playing more but there are a lot of comments above that I think I’m going to agree with on this - and the lower NPC hp is just not good. Give me more danger please, not less.

Please keep your posts on topic. The Development team can and does read this thread.

I like that. It would add to the story if the volcanic forge/forge of first men could repair legendaries.

Most of them have been doubled not reduced. Master reinforcement kit still exists. 2x durability for 2.5x weight. Hanumans hammer maybe not a good idea, but on baal-pteor’s razer you now have 7200 durability and .25 weight. Certain daggers and weapons that start with brittle have low durability still.

I can tell you that enemies are hitting harder. Also, every weapon that was not a legendary or perfected hardened steel has been lowered so you will not experience the power creep until you get to those tiers.

Do you need to download all 90GB+ in one go!?? Without interruptions?
Last night I had to stop it at 90% and today it’s STARTING OVER AGAIN… that’s ridiculous.

Steam controls the Download. If something happened and the files became corrupted, it will start over. You can pause the download through Steam.

Ah man, why can’t the public severs run like this 27 people ping 130 :exploding_head:

Game load right up no…
…
…
…
…
server loads.

Can we get the public servers to run like this, or the game/servers to load smooth and fast?

Q: the light that surrounds the character at night that makes it dim vs pitch black…is it visible to a third party? Can someone see you if your are trying to be sneaky?

And the NA server is down, how log did that take?
Was on the EU server is less then 2minutes.

I will take responsibility for this. Already privately sent in a bug report, I did something I shouldn’t have been able to

I am intrigued…

With any luck, you’ll never know what I’ve done

Ah, I am just curious…

Genuinely though, I don’t play on public servers at the moment. I tried some official pvp, and decided to perhaps try it again later, probably on a burner account.

So, I do hope to read about it on a server patch note, and it really is just curiosity.

I really like that idea too. Having to make an epic journey to repair powerful items sounds really cool. Kind of a reversal of throwing the ring into Mount Doom kind of vibe.

Jimbo :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

No half the reason I am on the EU PVE server too is, for some reason the NA server is prone to crashing regular and being down for days.

A new extension could have been good news but why still nerf the slaves delete them it will be better they are almost useless now, really I don’t understand the point of this nerf.
