I have my own FAQ ?

delete5230

I cant seem to find answers to a few questions I have, so maybe I can ask here :

1)  I built a computer just for this game, but what about my groups in dungeons, will they have good computers too, and will they crash a lot and make it hard on the rest of the party ? I hope we don't have to pay a price for the high end graphics.

2)  Will there be long load times for zones, Instances and buildings ?

3)  Who gets to be the Architect, who gets to be in charge, and will there be many arguments in who gathers endless raw materiels for guild halls and fortresses.

4)  If there are too many arguements, over gathering raw materiels, and you have to find another guild, will you get credit for all the work you did in your last guild ? 

5)  Geography- Will it be an open ended world, and no paths you must follow like in Guild Wars ?

Sorry I'm not asking fun fun questions but I'm concerned about stuff like this.

Ever player any other game where someone has lost connection? Its not all about graphics, there is I-net connection too...
2)  Will there be long load times for zones, Instances and buildings ?
I was told by a dev currently working towards 8 secs per loading screen. I have seen longer in Guild Wars and Lotro. Still optimisation ongoing as the game still in Beta.
3)  Who gets to be the Architect, who gets to be in charge, and will there be many arguments in who gathers endless raw materiels for guild halls and fortresses.
Anyone can be the Architect, just choose that line of crafting progression. Is there a God or 5 types of God?? How does it all play out? whats the meaning of life? The guild leader is in charge, ever played a guild based game before?
4)  If there are too many arguements, over gathering raw materiels, and you have to find another guild, will you get credit for all the work you did in your last guild ? 
Don't understand by credit? If I was Catholic and prayer for 15 yrs and then chose the path of another religion do I get a refund on my time spend praying previously? No you don't get credit, you can take your building apart and take the bits with you.
5)  Geography- Will it be an open ended world, and no paths you must follow like in Guild Wars ?
www.bymitra.com search feature right hand side - type in Zones, and then instances and you should get some answers. Zones can be many kilometers X many kilometers or smaller.

A little help AmazingAvery, I understand that you can only go on what the devs tell us, and I guess you can't expect them to tell any possible flaws. You can't expect them to be able to know how the players will use this game untill release.

However I am still very very concerned about all my issues with AoC. You have to admit that there are a lot of trade offs if you would like high end graphics such as issue 1,2,and 5. I would much perfer lower graphics, and only have issue 3 and 4.
