Levelling in SL is so much easier that I don't think I could stand making a froob char. In particular, SL fixers are way better since they can use shadowweb spinners, which can be bought in stores and are better than grid armor. e: After I hit 150 on my keeper I think I'm gonna turn him into a Sec10 twink and then use him to fund a soldier. Soldiers are what I started the game with and I'd like to make a decent one. ugh its Troika fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Jun 25, 2010 |

Ugh this runs like total rear end on my laptop, I figured this game was old enough to not totally hate lovely integrated graphics but I guess I was wrong. Any way to get this running decently, the other specs are fairly good but it is just has integrated intel graphics chipset slowing things down i Imagine. If I can play WoW flawlessly I would think AO would be no problem.

Create a sec10 twink, farm until you have 400m, buy GAIV

You would be better off farming GA Disks yourself and building your sec10 twink from that money. If you really want GA, then you can farm it yourself pretty easily. It just takes time and patience. I farmed 2 sets of all 4 disks for my wife's fixer and my fixer.

There has been no rhyme or reason to which works best but try each one until you find the one that works. In my experience the "Primary Display Driver - Direct3D TL HAL" has worked the best. Some of the settings will make it run like crap on even the most modern gaming rigs. Nosthula fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Jun 26, 2010 |

A perfect sec10 twink can cost like 2 billion, yeah. But you don't need ultra great equipment to farm there by yourself, and you can fund the twink's gear by doing so.

Well I got everything up and running and made it out of the newbie area well enough, running around as Fillerbunny. Can you still make money blitzing missions for poo poo like concrete cushions or has that fad died down over the years? I just remember making a fair amount of money last time I played on my fixer using clicksaver, hoping it is still feasible.

Peechka posted:This is still one of my favorite mmos to this date. The depth and scope of this game is unrivaled. There is just so much poo poo to do I fell overwhelmed by all the content.Last time I played was in the SL era and I have not even touched or seen any of the alien poo poo yet. I hope they implement the new graphics engine and re-release this game somehow to get more people to play it. I play on RK1 and the game is definitely still showing life but could use a influx of new players. Coming back it was kind of difficult to play based on the old interface by todays standards. But within a week it was like I never left and having tons of fun running with my brother and 2 other friends. I played this a bit a couple years ago and it was fun because I love scifi, but I got bored once I got past TOTW and it was tough to find places to get experience. Solo stuff can be tough, missions are dull, and nothing beats getting a pickup group of people at TOTW and there's always people hanging out there, same with the Sewers. Then you go to Foreman's which is supposed to be the next big place to level up and nobody's there. It was even more dull for me because I won an ingame contest and got hundreds of millions of credits, so I could buy tons of stuff, and no longer worry about money, but I need to level up to really be able to use anything, and leveling is a chore with just missions. I think a lot more people would jump in once they do the graphics update; that's what I'm waiting for myself before I jump back in. Everytime I check this thread and there's a bunch of new posts I'm hoping it will be that the graphics update has finally come out.  I hope they finally finish the goddamn thing and then do a bit of an ad blitz. They probably won't but that woudl be cool.

Finally got my froob agent out of the newbie zone today. Rather confounded as to what to do and where to go next. Thankfully I managed to grab the smelling salts and technical manual, what do those sell for anyway? (Edit: Of course if any goons need those I'll sell for less than market price)

You definitely dont need 2 bill to twink a S10 toon. Roll an Enforcer which is easy to twink out. It will cost you 200-400mill. Start with symbs, go 1he (dual chiropteras), s10 huds/utils, 2-3 spirit infused yutto mems, spend the remaining on armor and be sure to raise evade+NR, for Cha II's your evade's wont help, thats when you go full aggro and spam Absorbs. I hear Soldiers are easy and not expensive as well.

A general list of things to blitz can be found here. It's a bit old, but I can't imagine Funcom has added too many things over the last six years that people would want to blitz for. Demand for some items should probably still be okay. This thread has a Clicksaver formatted file to help you blitz for specific Fixer nanos for those of you who chose to roll a Fixer.

Superhaus posted:So run missions for nanos/weps/armor? How do I know what to put into clicksaver to get what I need? Will I be able to get high enough QL in solo missions? QL shouldn't be an issue except for any item you want to heavily twink, like possibly weapons. MPs, for example, generally can't expect to roll appropriate combat pets, because they'll want to be using a meatball far above their own level.

As a new player you can roll your pets/weapons simply because you don't have the means to twink into excessively high level stuff. You can generally roll missions that are ~2x your level, do a bit of twinking into that item and be good to go.

^^Red means you have a penalty from some item against that skill. The colors of the names means cost, dark blue costs the most. Can't get Clicksaver to work. Downloaded the full game client and patched it, but it just gives me a "failed to create local database" error as soon as I try that. Any ideas as to what the hell is goin wrong?

Clicksaver hasn't been officially updated to work with the latest version of AO and the item database. There's an unofficial version 3.0, but I couldn't tell you how trustworthy it is or if it even works. Honestly, it would be nice if Funcom just changed the mission descriptions so that it just told you what the drat reward is.

Do a search for Mish Buddy. Its the same thing as a click saver but you dont have to make a local database and its a bit more intuitive to use than the old clicksaver.

When I download the game from the link on the OP, I download it all fine, but upon installing, the window freezes and my antivirus stuff shuts down for a minute until I get the frozen program to go away. What's up with that? Edit* Nevermind: There are several factors, 3rd party applications, and operating system (OS) functions which can interfere with the installation and patching of the game. While the suggestions below are not guaranteed to solve any and all issues you may encounter, they have been proved to remedy some of them in a fair number of cases, especially, but not limited to, when using Vista or Win7. Recommendations for all Windows versions (XP, Vista, Win7) * It is not recommended to install the game anywhere within the default "C:\Program Files" folder, not even on XP. When the installer asks for the install location, create and/or specify a folder which is completely outside of "C:\Program Files", such as "C:\Games\Anarchy Online". On Vista, this is not a simple recommendation but a must; you need to install the game completely outside of the "C:\Program Files" folder to prevent the most common issues from happening. If you have already installed the game to the default location in "C:\Program Files", you don't necessarily have to uninstall, then reinstall it to a different location. The installation can simply be copied to any other location on the given computer, or even on a different computer, and it will remain fully functional. Simply make a copy of the whole "Anarchy Online" folder, currently located somewhere within the "C:\Program Files" folder, to some other location completely outside of "C:\Program Files", such as in the example above, update your shortcuts to point to the new location of the game executables and check if the game can be run from the new location. Then you may want to uninstall the original game installation using the Add/remove Applications function of the OS in order to get that game instance properly removed from the "C:\Program Files" folder and from the Installed Applications list.

Is this game worth coming to play as a US player who bought it when it came out and quit when it was unplayable and never looked back? I like space MMO's and since there is nothing else to play at the moment I'm willing to give it a shot. PS as a complete nub and being in the US what server should i play on?

Saw this thread and I had to make a new account. I haven't played this game for a year or two, it looks like they changed some stuff. When did they add this job academy thing? I'm flopping around in the subway right now with a level 23 Fixer named "Shaqattack", wouldn't mind linking up with some goons!

Wait, so, Grid Armor is still actually worthwhile in some sense? I wonder if I can find the account info for my 150ish fixer w/ GA2 - I quit right around when Shadowlands hit, so I'm sure I have a wonderful selection of QL200 SMGs of various types (oh, Manex Catastrophe, you made everyone's life so much better when they added you.) And the OT Kerans definitely brings back memories - it's named after an old friend (Nettie, Fixer prof rep for a while way back when).

If anybody has any 125+ Manex's on RK1 they'd part with for cheap, thats the gun I used to roll with and honestly half the reason I made a new account! I haven't been able to get any bosses to drop one though. Also would be totally down for RK experience be it outdoor spawns or team missions, my fixer Galladro is just a hair shy of 74 now. Edit: Also, the org I'm in now is pretty active for around that level range (more so than GoonCorp seemed to be), and -most- of the people in it are pretty cool! Fire and Brimstone is the name, if you're looking for some people to play with I'm sure I could get people in fairly easily.

Grid armor is great for froob fixers. As I said, SL fixers can buy Shadowweb Spinners, which do the same thing and arn't social armor. That being said, GA disks are still a nice way to make cash if you find one.
