Pastures new (/edit my arse)

Well, I bought AC2 yesterday so Im gonna be giving it a blast for a while now. Looks ok so far if a little under-populated

My subs are still running for a while yet so if I'll probably pop in to see peeps sometime in the future to pass off any gear I might have on my chars.

Thanks to the wombles for making my last few months a good laugh - Ama and Dying ran the guild well and everyone else was very helpfull and friendly (Diddy, Serbitar, Finnith, Soul and the rest).

graphics are supposed to be good gameplay is shite tho.

(16:51.48) (@Sandariel): hooray ^^
(16:52.12) (@Sandariel): tried to find a shop that still has daoc today =/
(16:52.21) (@Sandariel): I M P O S S I B L E =/
(16:52.32) (@Sandariel): they all just wanted to sell me Asherons Call 2
(16:58.08) (@Sandariel): You can't walk into building that make up the towns in Asheron's Call 2 because they did not have time to develop the "insides". <-- lol ^^
(16:58.31) (@Sandariel): must be a crappy game, bad reviews everywhere ^^
(17:00.01) (@Sandariel): Graphics: Very nice. This game is a fine example of graphics not making a game. For years I have read reviews from magazine editors that would state that a game has fantastic graphics then give that game a low score for its gameplay. Asheron's Call 2 is a perfect example of this type of game.

AC2 is ok for the first 30min's then it goes down hill, i should have spent my cash on something more worth while like my G/F!

Quite simply dont.


Its awful - here's a run down of my experiences:

1. Installed game, patcher crashed halfway through corrupting the 1 gig file that forms the bulk of the install. Result, reinstall game and repatch.

2. Get game working and create character. Wander round the world having fun for about an hour before I get stuck in a tree. My char is continuously dragged back there until i give up and log off as the Customer assistant didnt turn up after 10 mins of waiting.

3. Next day I log on and same problem - this time rep arrives and im free again. Decide to craft an item - game crashes. Log in again, make item, decide to go fight something with it. Im told to go east but there is a hill in the way - not a problem I think. I try to climb the hill and get stuck in 'crease' in the landscape. The only way I could traverse the hill was to follow the creases. Got frustrated and logged off.

4. Next day tried to log on and each time I reached character selection screen it disconnected my internet connection (15 times in a row). Tried DAOC, surfed the internet, checked email instead and all these were fine. Tried to get Microsoft support and realised AC2 isnt listed as a support option, despite being flagged as 'supported'

5. Began hunt for receipt.

Conclusion: Im coming back to DAOC but you may see me more in my original realm of hibernia an excali.
