AC2 - The Beta continues

AC2 is just getting better and better. It is actually getting to the point where you cannot log in in the evenings. The message comes back that the Server is Full, Please try later. While that may be a bit irritating if you are trying to get in the game, it does point out that many people are trying and playing the game. It is even more amazing when you realize that the game started out with a thread in the AC Forum that the server was open and available to play if you have an active AC account.

None of the massive advertising that accompanies most Betas with lots of drama leading up to the event.

And to top it off, AC2 is a polished production game that actually works, even though it has been 7 years since it was live.

Granted, there are always improvements that can be implemented and, as players actually level to near the top of the content, Turbine will need to add and activate tougher content. No one really knows much about Knorr yet. It was part of the Legions expansion and was still out of reach for almost all players.

While I am contuning to work on my other characters, I decided to create an Empyrean this morning. One of the things that I have noticed with AC2 is that, although each race has a Melee, Missile, and Magic Skill Tree (except Drudge - Melee only), they use different types of base weapons. Humans use Bows, Lugies use Chucks, Empyrean use globes, Tumeroks use spears. Each one performs a bit different and I want to try them all.

AC2 does a really good job on aiding a player in getting their character started out.

Thank goodness the weekend is almost here.
