Age of Conan Feedback thread

[killahsin]

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I'm glad they buffed up the dots a bit. They were fairly weak but not too bad.

I played the main quest line up to where you help that lady in her mansion. I really liked the quest line so I stopped playing the beta to wait for it on release. I didn't want the crappy performance ruining the game for me.


The performance is way way way way better. And its very very stable, and i didn't have one memory leak crash in 7 hours of playing today. never had to relog or reboot at all. and yes im playing in vista 32. Also that quest line has an amazing ending lol, so you were good to wait.

HAHA So true !

There is just a good feeling when you slice off on a Mobs head and watch it go flying :)

I canceled 2 preorders for this game on Friday, but after playing and hating GTA4(was going to buy it instead) ,being perma banned from WOW forums yesterday and AOC having an apparently VERY SMOOTH launch I'll probably pick it up this week.

So is the game more geared towards groups or solo?

[lognoronon]

Well my highest guy is a 17 necro and loving it so far. I was not in beta though so can't tell you how it compares. As for the solo vs group thing I have not really gotten far enough to know for sure and that varies class to class anyway. I'm so used to other mmo pet classes though having a pet taunt. All I have so far is a 2 min cool down ability to increase agro and the second you send a pet in the agro is transfered to you without it. I just end up doing ae's and tanking it while I do that. Want to be playing it right now but servers are down for another 3 hours.

Got my preorder today.... i'm *still* installing it. It comes on 2 DVDs and takes up 24 gig of hard drive space...crazy!

[Buckeye]

LOL yeah I just installed it on my new rig.

Servers are down from the looks of it. Hope they are patching that exploit that was talked about.

It is geared towards solo for the first 20 levels but the last 60 levels is groups and very much pvp oriented if you chose that.

Perfect fanboi material! Ignore the fact its ingame vs pre rendered graphics. Or that your showing six classes vs two...or is that three?

[killahsin]

Both, and instanced zones ahve both standard versions and epic versions you can chose from.

haha, Did you not see the screenshot of the in game chaarcter i posted it stilld estroys wow. And your assertion had absolutely nothing to do with the reasoning behind posting it. So wrong metaphor there. It isn't about the graphics. The game caters to adults i.e. man vs boy.

[lognoronon]

I was about to post that he missed the point but you beat me to it.

Oh shut up! Who the hell cares?! Did your feeling get hurt? Are you going to cry now? What is wrong with you people. It is a joke, get over it and your self. If you like playing WoW, great! I'm happy for you. If you like playing Conan, great I'm happy for you. If you want to be a whinney little bitch seek therapy and leave the rest of us alone.

Damn I hate gamers!


Even if that picture was talking about graphics (which it wasn't) the lowest setting on Conan utterly destroys WoW on it's highest settings. There isn't any comparison. It is like comparing Pong to the Xbox 360. In fact WoW NEVER had good graphics. Now that never bothered me but you brought it up.

Yeah we've all seen it in the screenshots of general chat and heard it from the griefing stories how this game caters to adults. Just because it has "realistic" graphics or heads flying doesn't mean it will be any better than WoW in that respect.

wow is old

[ATi]

whats better pvp or pve???

[Buckeye]

New system up and running with AoC <gulp>

Settings all High, every AA setting set to 16x enhance application, 1920x1200.
80-100+ FPS.

load time when zoning is about 2 seconds :D

Still tweaking NV control pannel.

FPS on my older rig was about 30-60, and it plays very smooth.
This game is very easy on graphic cards and even with lower settings it still looks very nice.

I need to find a nice 30" LCD Widescreen to really push this setup.
Everything is still running at stock settings so far, so no OC atm. Still waiting Phase cooling <cry> :(


A nice Feat Calculator

PvE servers you can still PvP but in areas just for that.
PvP servers have a new rule set.

As part of celebrating the release of Age of Conan we are happy to unravel a brand new PvP ruleset that has not previously been disclosed: The Culture PvP ruleset! Note that this new PvP server type is experimental and players on these servers must expect an ongoing change to the ruleset.

The goal of this PvP server-type is to stimulate war behind the three cultures of Cimmeria, Aquilonia and Stygia. As a player on a Culture PvP server, you are shielded from lone travelers of your own culture, however you may still group with any culture and form a group and attack anyone.

The Culture PvP ruleset is an evolving ruleset that will be tweaked and polished based on player-feedback in the months to come. Although it is, at least currently, possible to make guilds across cultures, pure culture groups and guilds will be endorsed on this server, and as such players on the Culture PvP servers must prepare that the future will hold continued changes to the ruleset.

We have changed to ruleset on two servers that were previously flagged as full PvP. The homes for the Culture PvP servers are:

This isn't a WoW vs Conan thread. If you want that kind of thread then make one. Otherwise get out of this thread.

I wasn't the one who posted the lame WoW vs. AoC picture. :P

[jeffmd]

Captn, your yelling at the wrong person. ^^

Anyways.. I found out last night that the game is zoned. Reading the wiki, theres not actually any zone lines.. but rather you visit a sort of travel master (stable, port) and they send you to the next area? How does the game manage long distance travel, like WoW's wyvern/griffin system?

Btw buck those are great load times. Its pretty clear the game dosnt need to load the entire zone into memory, makes me wonder why it couldn't have been totaly persistent.. unless its to do away with the need for multiple world servers?

[qube]

were can i download the client fore early access

[Buckeye]

I think early access is over, maybe tomorrow.

[qube]

fu...k i preeorded it and missed it

The game is ****ing adult themed get over it that is what the picture was about. Don't turn this into somthing it isn't. It was a ****ing joke, grow some testicles.

Well every zone past the starting ones have not had multiple instances of them so i hope that alleviates peoples worries. As it stands right now all long distance multi tiered traveling is done by just going to zone walls, or talking to traveling npcs. There are mounts and sucha s well as we all know.
