So is anyone buying Age Of Conan when it releases?

 

I personally cannot wait, the graphics looks amazing, the PvP sounds amazing, it's M-rated, and finally a MMORPG without "sandwich-combat".

I agree that is looks absolutely amazing. I signed up for the Beta, Newsletter, and the Forums. :)

It looks awesome

 

 

 

 

 

I signed up for everything as well

 

 

 

 

 

And your talking to someone whose played pretty much every major mmo(and some small ones)

Most definitely. I know Nadril is positively wetting himself as well over it :

indeed. :wink:

 

 

 

Game looks amazing. I've signed up for the beta (hope I can get in).

Definitely can't wait for this game. I'm going to be building a new computer soon so that I will be able to play it. :P

Im guessing since the beta is starting soon that its gonna be at least another year before it comes out? I might try it out next summer.

It will be, yes. However it'll probably be at least a year later.

Can't imagine combat with the controller being much fun. I'd go for the keyboard extension if poss.

You should read this and watch

 

 

 

And sandwich combat is the combat system in for example wow. You only need to press on the target, and meanwhile when the persons on the screen is fighting you can eat a sandwich :lol:

After reading a bit about the combat type... I think this would be the perfect kind of game for the wii :D

I'd probably crap and wet myself if that actually happened. In fact, I'd support a ban to stop it, seeing as the world would give off so much excrement it would be a carbon comet, not footprint.

Massive PvP and Siege Battles

 

 

 

The struggling human race in Age of Conan fights for fame, fortune and, of course, power. In the world of Hyboria fighting for survival is the way of life, and leagues of men stand ready to conquer land and structures in search for ultimate power. In this brutal universe vast numbers of nations are spread over the face of the planet, and borders and alliances shifts constantly as kings, lords and war chiefs launches assault upon assault against their neighbors, whether it may be nations, cities or other tribes. The political struggles between men is evident through all of the Conan lore, and the battle for power often turns into primal battles for survival and the right to exist as a people.

"We want to have item looting, but haven't yet decided the exact balance for this, so it is not something I can promise right now. Will we be able to loot everything, one item, items from the back-pack? We shall see." - Gaute Godager

 

 

 

 

 

"We want risk. As to reward, this is much better."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it seems like the developers do and will most likely have item looting in the game (even if just for PvP servers) -- they are just trying to decide on a looting system that is fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

man I can't wait for this, I had no idea about item looting even!

Hopefully the idea won't fall by the waste side - but they sound pretty bullish in their talk so it won't :)

Good news on the controls. I was reading up some more on AoC and stumbled upon an IGN article where they did a play test of it. Yeah yeah, IGN but the actual article wasn't bad.

 

 

 

 

 

For melee combat the game will use buttons such as Q,E,1,2,3 for attacks. Q for example is left swing, E is right and then 1 might be an upper left, 2 up, 3 upper right. At least thats what I understood of it.

 

 

 

The way you do things in this game is instead of pressing "4" to do a move you instead string together combos. There is a little timer swing bar at the middle of the screen with an axis on it that lets you time attacks. If you wanted to do a move you could, for example, do "Q E 3" or whatever. As you get higher level you can do more potent and powerful combos.

 

 

 

The video looked pretty good for them being in technical beta testing right now. A few animations were still a little choppy but there was a lot of action in the game.

 

 

 

 

 

Ranged combat from what I read in another article works in two ways. One is where you can do more precision firing by going into first person view and aiming your arrows. Third person view gives you a little 'cone' of where your character will shoot into. Less accurate but easier to kite with.

 

 

 

Ranged will have special combos as well. For example you could hit your enemy in the leg to hamstring them and cripple their movement speed.

 

 

 

 

 

Spell casting is a lot like in other current MMOs except that you can 'weave ' certain spells together to cast even more potent spells. Of course this can backfire on you as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I should also mention that in, for example melee combat, what your weapon hits it hits. There is no only being able to auto attack one enemy but if two enemies, for example, are together and you do a side swing it can hit both of them at once. Really cool stuff.

That sounds so sweet. Anyone seen any videos demo?
