Anarchy Online - Brainstorming

omg! AO :P i really want to play this now, just made 4 accounts for the testing.. never do 5 just incase i want a random in group.

my issue is my internet connection. on WoW im fine on 4 accounts alsong as im out in the zones fighting... if i hit a city or AV i just get owned by dissconection that sucks a little bit.

ive got told that AO uses alot more bandwidth than other games such as WoW etc. i dont know if it will effect most people but im sure it would effect me

well 1gb of download for game :P ^^ leave that goin for a wee while hehe.

ill let yall know how it goes. ^^

Kinda funny, played AO since beta - really surprised I stayed through it with the horrible, horrible bugs and lack of customer support those first couple of years. Even up to a couple of years ago when I stopped playing it was still pretty ridiculously bug ridden. The new engine looks nice, however.

For the OP, I would actually go with 5xpistol soldiers and a doc and just be done with it.

(btw, if anyone knew my toons: Bruise, Lumus, Timbuk, Zexar, Indicate, Seisma, Seismu, etc. - heya!)

And BTW, I always thought a full team of coordinated agents at a tower fight would be lawltasic.

I've been tempted for a while to try multiboxing AO with keyclone.
I used to mess about playing three toons at one point, after the froob accounts came out, but it was more of an alt-tab job

Has nobody considered a group of meta-physicists?

5x healpets, 5x tankpets, 5x dpspets (each MP can have one of each type out at the same time) + 5x nukes...

Well technically there is only 1 damage type pet which could also tank I suppose. You get the heal pet + a 'mez' pet that basically keeps stuff sedated and out of combat. I knew some MPs with crazy (insane) defense/evades and could pretty much tank anything so the team setup would probably be ok.

Just as aside, am I totally on crack or isn't the number players in a team 6 in AO?

Correct 6 is the lucky number for groups in AO.

i know range is alwyas best to go for boxers on games, but was just thinking..... 6 Martial artist be fun, you never really have to worry about weapons for your toons :P very high burst damage if u spec full dps rather than health etc. dont think ill do that tho lol

im jsut gnna start 3 agents and a crat or 3 soldiers and a trader... not made up my mind yet :P hehe

ooo i cant wait... i know thats sad sayin that to such an old game but dude! its AO :P one of first online games i ever played.... good times..

Friend recently told me that MAs aren't the god mode they used to be. Evades got nerfed a ton apparently. Don't know any details beyond that, unfortunately. It really depends on what you want to do once you hit 220/30 (if you intend to go that far). PVP was the most compelling reason for playing that game for me - city zergs and tower wars. But it's been years so no idea what it's even like now. There are battlegrounds (ala WSG) - who know.

Noooo! .. dang. i loved my old MA .. only got lvl 150 on him but he was the bees knees! i used to fight things that tanks used to fight and come out of it with more health than them. i suppose they are like the dps class still just... no staying power damn.

o well... im sure agents are still as overpowerd as ever :P hehe ty on tellin me i would of started a MA as my solo and got to about lvl 40 and realised it was pants compared to it used to be :P hehe.

was 10% away from finishing download and they changed the file on website to a more update one and it stopped my current download... have to start it all over again :P hehe.

should start a Zerg org on it for if anyone ever plays it for laughs now and then :P

I think AO was the first game i dual-boxed, or was it DAoC? Dont remember what was first

Anyway, in AO i had a Meta plus an Engi. Powerful Duo because the meta could buff the engi so much, my engi could summon a way-above-his lv pet ... then simply let the meta healpet follow the robot and go /pet hunt or something, and the robo will clear the whole mission for you while you are afk was fun!

I would prolly go for 4 Engi + 1 Meta
