AoC is stunning at times tbh. I remember when i first walked into Tortage- was well impressed.

Theres a little tower just up the hill by the smith guy outside tortage - if you climb it right to the top you can look down upon the whole of tortage - it looks amazing from there

Going right on the stone plateu just before the climb point when you enter the acheronian ruins also gives a good view of most of the Valley.

When you get to Conalls Valley later, which is mostly hills with narrow trails crawling up alongside them, you get some good views of the valley there too. Also the clip range is excellent, I could see players - small as ants going about their business.

There's also alot of quests later in the game.... Think I've completed like 32 quests so far there!

Nice! Did you like it? Still the loading screen after each death in that client version?

I don't want to come accross wholely negative as for the rest of AoC I think its great, but these pvp minigames are just so bad.

You go through 2 load screens before the game even starts then have a load screen on every death. After death you can run around but not rejoin the fight for 60 seconds. This does not make for quick and easy fun like in counter strike.

On top of that the team annhilation has 1 objective for each team and so it just turns in to a zerg clusterfuck where the team with the most highest level players wins and then gets 60 seconds to destroy your totem un apposed.

In a game I was in we lost the ability to resurrect and all but 1 assassin died. So we are lying face down watching the 6 man zerg of the opposing team run all over the map looking for this assassin and the assassin following around completely invisible hoping one of them might stop zerging. This went on for almost 5 minutes! Considering I was alive for only about 2 and a half minutes this was ridiculous.

If someone has had a better experience then please share but so far I have been shocked at how bad the PvP is.
