Any plans to modernise in the future?

Loved AC2, and resubbed for a month just to take a peek and reminisce. It's really amazing how well the game looks graphics-wise considering its age. It looks so good in fact that I was thinking about trying to talk a few of my friends into checking it out.

That is until I started trying to relearn the interface. There have been a lot of advances and unifying of ideas and mechanics over the last 11 years when it comes to user interface.

I would absolutely love to play this with some of my friends, but many of them have never experienced the stone age of MMOs with clunky UIs and lack of modern conveniences. I have a pretty open mind, and of course cut my teeth on games with no UIs back in the day but I have to admit over the last few years even I've become spoiled and found it hard to swallow what AC2 has currently.

Are there any plans to modernise the interface? Movable windows, typical key bindings, typical left, right, double click behaviors, scrolling inventory, item stacking, sorting, information on mouse hover, etc...

If it was F2P it would be an easy sell to get people to check it out and maybe even get around the UI. There are just too many good games now-a-days that are F2P to get people to take a risk on subscriptions, especial on old games (even ones that look as nice as this one!). Not that I'm suggesting this goes F2P (although I wouldn't complain!).

Soulbound Bow disappeared yesterday

I had just grabbed my soulbound bow out of my home and then while running to neftet the server crashed. When I logged in today I had vitea and the last corpse it said I died at was one that I had already lost vitea from...so I know the server deleted a timeframe.

How can I get my bow back?

AC for $9.99

I noticed on the main page that now there is no "free trial", but you can buy it (with 30 days) for $9.99. This is cheaper than the monthly rate of $12.95.

Could I purchase this and then apply this like a game card to my AC account? I know it's not what they intended, but it works for me!

You guys are real pros, responding and explaining stuff to complaints, legit or not. wow! I always find it amusing how players reacts and find "bugs" everywhere when there's a patch and Turbine acknowledge there is some problems. Things escalate quickly! Thanks and keep up the good work! It is amazing to read you and is part of the reason i am here and playing AC in 2013.

Is this a good casual game ?

I played ac1 for about 7 years and played ac2 a little bit on release but moved one. I don't have a lot of time like I used to but I am looking for a casual game that doesn't require massive raids to accomplish things. AC1 was great for that you could just grab a bunch of people and go tackle something in a few hours. Is ac2 ike that ? I didn't play it enough to find out.

Looking for a patron/allegiance

I have worked my way up to level 30 and I have been feeling a social barrier over the last couple of levels and when I used to play this game being in an allegiance was huge. I was hoping by now I would run into an individual or group who I responded well with and asked me about joining, but alas that has not happen for the most part.

Hopefully I can get more luck on the forums, or at least tips about different allegiances on the server.

Thanks!

new idea for magics

why not introduce some of the spells the bosses cast into the game to let players use them such as

Greater Marrow Blight Link Icon.png 30 sec 0.0 10 400 You feel a sharp ache deep in your bones. Lowers all of the targets attributes by 50%.

requires creature magic speciallized to cast , required skill of 550+ for 75% rate

Galvanic Strike Link Icon.png -- 30.0 35 400 Shoots a bolt of lighting at the target. The bolt does 150-300 points of electrical damage to the target.

required war magic speciallized to casta , required skill of 550+ for a 75% success rate

Item Only Spell Icon.png Kukuur Hide Link Icon.png 2 min 0.0 100 350 Increases the caster's natural armor by 300 points.

required life magic spec , required skill of 550+ for 75% success rate

Aerfalle's Greater Ward Link Icon.png 60 min 25.0 70 400 Improves a shield or piece of armor's armor value by 400 points.

required item magic spec , skill of 550 for a 75% success rate

Instead of say 600 magics making these 100% cast rates , cap them out at 75% so even if you have 600 war magic then there is a %25 chance of failure since the spell is so difficult. Not these spells specifically , but something similar. Give the mages something to strive for !

Items disapearing and doubles of items in bagpacks!

I noticed this after last patch on March 4th 2013 (patch might not be relevant?):

When I logged in after patch one of my armor pieces was gone from main pack (of course a 10-tinkered epic). I first thought I made a stupid mistake last time I was loged in, and had dropped this retained piece on the ground somehow. Odd, since this is really not like me ...

BUT, a little later something else happend: I had pile of 250 MMDs in "side" bagpack, of which I splitted 50 notes and dragged them to the main pack. But the 50 notes never got there! I checked and checked again. I relogged character, I restarted AC. Nothing helped, the 50 MMDs where gone! THIS IS POSSITIVE! The side pack has now only 200 MMDs, and nor the main pack, or any other my 8 bagpacks have the missing 50 notes. Of course I looked on the ground also! So Turbine you owe me 50 notes ....

The above was a bit worrying, but I thought "ok, maybe I can let the game bug ones ...". THEN today when I logged the character at one point (had logged him a couple of time today earlier without issues), I had six (6) items in the main pack that where DOUBLES of other items in the main pack! THIS IS ALSO POSSITIVE, since the doubles where placed as 6 first items in the main pack, and some of them where quest items. I also checked that the "original" items where there in the main pack - placed where they should be among other items. I had two of every of these 6 items. In this case the doubles where gone after I relogged the character, but still ... VERY WORRYING, since this never happend to me before!

... so now I am a bit frighten to play, and that any item might disapear at any time.

Fact that might have to do with the issue: 1) I have augmented the extra bagpack slot, so I carry main pack + 8 side packs. 2) No issues before patch March 4th 2013.

Turbine, you should maybe investigate this?? Do I dare to play the game?

1 How do you lose a bunch of peoples accounts during a move?
2 Why do you do a major update to both the game and billing in the same week?
3 Why do you leave people with no answers for weeks?
4 Why do you offer a correction and then find out the correction can't work because the password system is down?
5 Now I have two accounts, two billing charges and no characters! Wish there was a Better Business Bureau for online gaming, this is ridiculous!

Can't remove bracers?

I have a strange bug with one of my characters? When I pull up his slot view it shows that he is not wearing bracers. But he is. His upper arms are covered by reduced sleeves to cover upper. When I take these off you can see the bracers on the character but since the slot view is empty I can neither remove them or put on other bracers.

Has this ever happened to anyone before and what was the solution?

Four gems just "duplicated themselves" in my pack.

While I was standing in Arwic, chatting in /cg. Did not have them selected. I was reading chat, and saw something move in my pack, looked over, and 4 Celdiseth's gems were in the first slot of my pack (not where I keep them). I looked in the normal spot, and the regular four were there also. Tried to stack them, and I'm getting an error message.

Protective Drudge Charm

I've been wearing my protective drudge charm for years now, manly cause of the +10 to health (warriors vitality). I feel it is time to move onto something bigger and better but am still semi-dependent upon it.


The ward spells are nice too but they give less pros than majors so I can live without that. What I can't live without is the +10 health boost from this necklace.

Is there any other quest necklace that has a better stackable health spell on it? Can a loot gen necklace be tinkered to have this +10 spell or is that only for trinkets?

I noticed wiki lists the spells (warriors greater and ultimate vitality)....are there any quest necklaces with these spells?
