Soldiers vs Funcom

Some of the recent changes made to the game by Funcom have hit the melee soldier archetype more so than some other classes. This thread discusses some of the changes and concerns many of the community have about the current state of things. This of course also has the standard concerns followed by the ha ha you got nerfed. Impossible to have one of these discussions without it. This however is a good thread to voice your concerns or thoughts on the matter.

Outlook on the next updates

Funcom Senior Community Manager, Oliver 'Tarib' Kunz posted this thread to give players some insight on this week's update. This includes the repopulation of resource harvesting zones and a few other changes. This thread is open discussion on the update and will allow you a place to offer up any feedback you might have and discuss it with other forum members.

Spammers and Scammers are at it again.

WARNING! People trying to request/steal Account info.

This is a topic I figured was worth mentioning. It seems our good friends the scammers and spammers are at it again. Remember folks, Funcom will never ask for your account, password, or financial information in an email. Some people still fall for this stuff and get taken for a ride. So don't be that guy.

What does the stat immunity do exactly ?

This may answer a question I have been asked many times for some of you. What exactly does Immunity do? This thread has that answer and a bit more so feel free to chime in and add your thoughts.

This thread keeps hanging around but it makes for some good discussion. How do you feel about the subject? Will AoC keep its players or will it be the next big name to fade into history as it lines up beside the great hopefuls like Horizons and Vanguard. You decide and tell us here.

Lagging at Launch: Or How I Learned to Avoid Hype and Groupthink

Ten Ton Hammer's own JoBildo put together this nice editorial this week on the hype and groupthink aspect that inevitably comes with the launch of any highly anticipated MMORPG. Unfortunately a lot of the time that massive hype can come to a close with massive disappointment. Such is the focus of this editorial. This thread discusses this editorial as the community shares some of their own stories.

Weekly Funny With The Tuk

(The Weekly Funny is not reflective of the views of Ten Ton Hammer. The are however of mine. =p )

Every now and then you run across some people who a person who just lacks good common sense. One such individual might be, oh say some idiot who decides to start a bon fire with a huge pile of wood that looks like the torch of Gondor with 5 gallons of gasoline. I don't want to ruin it for you so just take a look.
