Hey all. I came to this server late and I will admit that I am just getting my toes wet. I like the ideas I see. The classes, the difficulty settings, but there is something missing.

I have taken note of what people are playing. Either by inspecting them or by checking what has been posted on the Discord. There are almost 40 classes right now, but the vast majority of the playerbase seems to be only playing 2 of those. I can find no benefit to bringing other classes into fellowships, no reason to diversify. So the summoning classes and the tanking classes (I haven't seen anything that could be a healer yet, but maybe I missed it), are getting no true benefits in solo play and no one has any reason to bring them along over the currently overtuned classes?

Are there any plans for content that requires tanks? Are the obviously overtuned classes going to be fixed or is this one of those situations where you try to tune the other 39 classes up (more difficult)? Is the community receptive to balance or are they all content for everyone to be the same class?

Right now they classes seem like fluff and the bulk of them have little to no value. Was that the intention? Is there something I am missing? Is there content that I haven't seen yet that requires class diversity of any sort in groups?

Some of those that were on their today will probably recognize who this is. I was in the AC2 Discord earlier today and I was on there back in 2024 as well.

I have never actually managed to log into the server. Every other emulated project I have ever attempted to play, I can get working fine on my setup. Are they all ready to go out of the box? Absolutely not. I've beat my head on the wall for hours with several different ones.

AC2 however, has bested me more than once now. The guides posted there are outdated and jumbled. Part of it comes in Youtube form, the rest of its placed in certain Discord channels. That said, after I get it all gathered up. Install it, create the shortcut, point the shortcut to the proper locations, it never connects.

It hits the loading screen, receives 2 packets and then sits there sending outbound packets with no response, until it times out and disconnects me from the server. I can ping the server through CMD and PS.

I have tried... in no particular order.

Software firewalls, on/off. Hardware firewalls, on/off. With and without port forwarding. With and without a VPN.

And probably a few other things that I have completely forgotten at this point.

So, how many of you out there connected without issue with the standard setup instructions? Did any of you have something outside of the normal troubleshooting that was required to get in? And lastly did any of you just get up completely?

Thanks for anything you can share.

EDIT - Look for my final take on this in the comments.

I am not the author of this video. However, I did used to bank with one of these entities. Thankfully I left before this chaos happened.

100 million went missing from an online bank.

"Neobanks" promise higher rates and lower fees, but they exist in a regulatory black box created by Andreessen, Thiel, Musk and others."

Let me explain what just happened. I was at a very crowded intersection in Anderson SC.

​

I pulled up and I was inching forward to turn right on red. Unknown to me the left turn signal on my side for the left turning lane was not functioning properly. So it didn't turn green which means I couldn't see it had turned green for the other side.

​

A motorcycle rider then came through the left turn on the other side very quickly. Thankfully we both saw each other. I didn't pull out into his path, but he still fussed and yelled as he went by. Whatever maybe I'm sure it spooked him.

​

It's the season where I see tons of riders and I own a motorcycle myself. I never go out in anything less than a helmet, gloves, long pant and long shirt.

​

I might see 1 in 20 riders with a helmet on. Without one your chance of dying goes up 40% in an accident. I've also worked in a hospital and seen what traumatic brain injury looks like.

​

Why do so many insist on riding with nothing between their skull and the pavement? This may come off as a rant and it kind of is, I just can't wrap my head around it.

​

All I know is, in some other reality this guy just died and he died because of the faulty light. Not because of a mistake either of us made and that to me is horrifying.

Not gonna lie, great entertainment.

I was at cookout last night, hanging around out front with a few other people. The same cop went back and forth for nearly 2 hours. Chasing down one person after the next. There he go goes north bound, there he goes south bound. Over and over again.

By the time the night was over we were calling him "ole kill streak" like it was fucking video game. Clemson is like, 2 miles wide on the Blvd and they have nothing better to do than camp it all night.

Be safe nerds.

Both what mounting solution you utilized and if possible a picture of where you mounted it. I have a GSX 8S, but please do share your GSX 8R pictures as well for the benefit of other users. Just remember to tag your post, so we can confirm what model bike we are seeing.

Thanks.
