Age of Conan Feedback thread

[Buckeye]

I cannot get past the character creation screen. Character creation effects do nothing. When I finally pick a name and hit play I get the back screen and nothing from there on.

I updated to lastest drivers, still the same.

[killahsin]

buckeye set the game to windowed mode then create ur character etc join server etc.

[jeffmd]

well the defining difference between guild wars and other MMOs is it artificaly reduces how many spells you can bring into an area. does conan do the same? this is great for pvp but I kinda dislike for pve.

I have, lowered rez etc. No effect :(

Many are having this problem also from what I can tell on the forums.

Update:
Changing Rez to non wide screen fix'd it

From the Closed Beta invite I just got:

I got the same mail yesterday :D

I was doing the happy dance all day yesterday. And now I must go to work :(

No. Conan is like all the other MMOS. You have a spellbook. Drag and drop the spell to the actionbar.

I have to say I love this game. As most are, I am frustrated because it is still just a BETA. I like how they immerse you into the quests with voice dialog. You can do parts solo (meaning single player mode) or with in the regular public game. So far this game is brilliant. Then again I am extremely biased towards Conan lore. :D

One more thing. The game runs fairly well for such great graphics in a large game such as a MMO. I look at this game and there is no way I can go back to the old graphics of WoW.

+1 :thumbsup:

The Graphics are very nice !
Once I get in game I can crank up the rez and settings and it looks pretty darn sweet. Haven't played it a whole lot but so far I think they have done a pretty good job on the game.

I recommend staying out of the cities. They are worse than Ironforge in the first year of WoW. Complete lagcity.

I completely love the necromancer. What a fantastic class they are.

[killahsin]

im just constantly crashing lol gg old client it recognizes my 9800 gtx ind ebug mode. im hoping its database crashes due to an old client =/

[glObalist]

Looking at the screenshots, this is what comes to mind:

Q: "I bet the brats/kids stay the hell away from this game - I've had enough of the WoW general chat kiddies. I heard AoC will be very much different and adult-oriented."
A: "Apparently, nope."

Q: "Hope there's no hand-walking you with yellow exclamation marks over NPCs heads and noobish stuff like that. I'm a mature MMOer FFS!!1"
A: "Actually, there is."

:D :firedevil

admin rights?

played for 1-2 hours yesterday, not a single crash, will play more today.

its a fine game, but i probably won't subscribe, with so many games i still need to finish and new ones comming out, i simply won't have that much time to dedicate to MMO

[Ninjaman09]

This game is OK. The combat system isn't nearly as amazing as everyone says it is - I prefer autoattack to the "directional attack" system. I hate clicking on abilities but you basically have to with this game - most of the keys I usually bind my abilities to are locked to other functions, mostly the directional attacks. I'll keep playing the beta but I think I'm going to cancel my preorder.

Ha ! Necromancer, My first class also, very fun :)

I have to find some time to try out some other classes tho.

[MaXThReAT]

So what drivers are you all using. When I launch DX10 I get nothing after clicking play, game doesn't launch. When I change it in game to DX10 I get a black screen. I've tried 175.12

The DX10 client isn't included with the beta. ;)

[MaXThReAT]

OOOOOoooooo I guess that would explain it. I somehow missed that there was no DX10 :( O-well So far sweet game. I can't wait to pour in to this weekend.

[Tyr-Sog]

Is character creation deep?

[nekrosoft13]

i would say no, it has a **** load of face sliders to change, thas about it.

ah see thats exactly what i mean... AOC can't be a MMO and hope to attract the mass number of MMO community. Directional atks in MMO? hahaha.. funny stuff.

No, innovation is a good thing. The directional attack system is a great idea but control-wise it is difficult, and they made it hard to rebind keys. A context-sensitive system would probably work better. For example to execute a combo right now, you select the combo attack and then follow up with the requisite directional attack. It's a good idea, but it takes two separate keybinds, and the combo has to be followed by a certain directional attack - it makes for a very cumbersome action bar, especially since 1-3, Q, and E are reserved for directional attacks. Most of my major class-defining attacks and combos are out of reach so I have to click them, which is hard since I use the mouse to reposition the camera while strafing/dodging near enemies.

[nrdstrm]

I'm having a great time with this so far. Graphics are nice and the voice acting is pretty damn good. I'm getting really involved in the quests...

[spirited1]

The one thing I hated about EQ2 was the spammy combat. My Monk had about 9 attacks, something like 4 of them were kicks with differing names, and the rest punches with dffering names. Dragon KickII! Snake KickI! Tiger KickIV! Whatever. And the combat was really spammy. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc, refresh, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc etc.

Is AoC different? I see there's going to be stuff like Kick I, Kick II, Kick III etc but is the combat spammy?

There's no autoattack and attacks don't queue so you have to hit the attack key every time you want to swing. You're limited by the speed of the attack animation. With spellcasting there is a short queue but it does not register on the UI - I imagine it works in a similar way that WoW's fix for /stopcast macros. Combat feels more engaging which is exactly why the system is a great idea, but I find the controls to be cumbersome.

[killahsin]

outside of the memleak crashes, the game is pretty sweet i have to admit. i can imagine some very sick pvp happening with this game.
