AO is the main topic, but you can also talk about things like the latest console game you've played, web comics, movies, music, etc. as they pertain to your AO experience.

A warning to older players...

Post by Snakebite » Thu Oct 29, 2026 1:03 pm

Remember people, there are NO stupid questions. And it's always better to measure twice (or three times) and cut once!!!

Having played almost constantly since 2005, it's nice to know I can still make mistakes!
I managed to get enough Complit to equip a Signet of the Apocalypse on a Trox Enf a couple of days ago and already had the gem cut ready, so decided to buff up, make it and slip it on...

The Warriors Gem went on and I tried to equip it...

The Warriors Gem is NOT for an Enf!!!

It's for a Soldier!!!

There was a LOT of internal non PG discussion on my competence, heritage and general life choices. Some of which slipped out!

On the plus side, my partner found it hilarious!

So, no matter how long you've been playing, don't get too complacent. This game can still trip you up even after all these years!!! :mrgreen: :top:


Right...
Off to farm new parts...

So in summary, what you say is, always read the fine print? Or that you're getting old? :mrgreen:
