Turbine should make AC2 PVP server f2p!

Classicstar · September 2007

Its a real shame that this game will never see the light again:(

They should make it free at least for all those who where so loyal and bought even expansion for it.

I think a pvp server now would get alot of players if server was called again darktide!

Great idea... not. DT was the least played server in AC2.

It is the most populated in AC1. He was talking about AC2. They had very different mechanics, and due to AC1's PvP mechanics, it still remains a favorite in a lot of players' eyes.

Im not sure what you mean with very different mechanics, but i dont think thats the main cause for a low populated pvp server on AC2. I think its more a problem with meaningful pvp in AC2, there is no goals other than destroying the enemy's fort.

I think, if we would (should) get one server it should be a PVE server, because with war alter and peace shrine you can battle vs other kingdoms wherever & whenever you like.

Mechanics, as in the mechanics of how the game worked. AC1 was twitch-based, with dodging. Not sure how AC2's PvP was because I never bothered with it, but I know the mechanics of the game were a lot different.

In AC1, it was 75% skill, 25% stats. A level 75 could beat someone in their 130s easy if they knew what they were doing. Going perma-red at 75 was possibly the greatest decision I ever made in that game.

Having played both, i have to say AC2 had just as much twitch combat as AC1.

If a level 75 could kill a level 130 with ease (in my play time), the level 130 deffinately didnt know what they were doing. But having said that, the one thing i like better in AC1 was that you could kill much higher level players. In Ac2 you couldnt kill people obove a 10 level limit, above that you just couldn't hit them. hmmm... then again, AC1 have 225 levels and AC2 had a soft cap on 80.

PS... AC2 didnt have Stats Only skills and twitch combat

Nah. Just meant the 75 was better at what he did. I did it all the time, but I had been taught by some of the best on the server. People that I could watch go 20 and 0 on a good day. That was -before- the cap increase, and before people had maxed everything out though. In this day and age, anyone below 126 would have a hard time killing anyone with maxed stats, just because they'd be lucky if their spells did anything when they hit - either get resisted or do barely any damage.

I remember being about level 82 or so and going against someone who was in their 140's according to Treestats (I think that's what it was called) All I had was GSA, store-bought solls/helm/gaunts, and my focusing stone. It was a long fight, and in the Candeth Keep tunnels so it was pretty close quarters fighting. He kept debuffing me non-stop (debuffing EVERYTHING. He went through the entire cycle of yield, creature, war, life, focus, will, endurance) and charging me point blank, so as I began casting a yield on him, I slid behind a corner and popped a dispell gem. Ran out, dodged a spell on my way towards him, and then tanked two of his spells while I fastcasted 2 arcs and a streak before he knew what was happening. Looted some 15 DIs from him and high-tailed it out of there, only to be met by one of his friends on the other side of the portal. In the meantime, I had a friend on the way so I wasn't worried. Fought the new guy for a good 15 minutes before my friend showed up, and the fight switched to them, and he told me to get out of there.

Sorry, went off on a tangent except for the first couple parts. Got excited talking about the good ol' days. =P

Yep.

Snowreap eventually merged into Coldeve and the server was still pretty empty.

Damn I miss AC2.

I will always remember playing Desperado on Snowreap/Coldeve. Most fun I've ever had in a MMORPG.
