Age of Conan

Check out this group of Closed beta testers who rolled on the open beta server just to gank during the FFA.  They are so proud of their actions... Its sickening.

Let them be please. Just like EVERY other game with FFA PvP servers, they will limp along for a while then become ghost towns then the PvPers will come to the forums and bitch and moan and blame carebears for the death of their beloved pvp.

Lmao as much as i love pvp that is one of the worst communities i have ever seen in those yrs i been playing in FFA rulesets

I know!  That makes me so mad I just wanna strangle puppies. 

Edit: maybe I'm wrong but I think they are being sarcastic.

Those guys Kraytdragon and Soulbound are absolute retards, I like PVP but those people are the the kind that give PVP'ers bad names.

I see that history is already repeating itself

I just came across this on the AoC forums. Its from an article on Gamespy dated May 1st.

at the end of page 4 this is mentioned...

"When we started out the system was very refined, and as time went on and iterations were applied, we made it more and more brutal every time. So right now it's open, free-for-all, you do what you want. Nothing is stopping you. The only exception to whom you may kill are zone-based. Certain zones are PvP-disallowed. In particular, those are the big major cities, the hubs as we call them. Apart from that, there isn't any level cap, there isn't anything stopping you from going after people.

There are, however, post-zoning and post-death invulnerabilities. We don't want [people getting] respawn-point ganked or anything like that. You will have enough time to get wherever you want.

It doesn't cover all my PVP concerns like during npc interaction how the screen is taken over. But it does cover zoning and respawns. What confuses me is why this "post-death invulnerability" was lifted during this final FFA PVP test phase unless they actually wanted this gank fest to take place. When I was leveling in the noob Isle I remembered seeing this post death protection just the day before they patched the PVP in on friday. So it was either a glitch? or it was removed intentionaly.

Well done Funcom !

Instanced gaming , high machine requirements , grind raid oriented , simplistic crafting

and probably the gank friendliest server rules ever devised.

Wonder how long will pass after the launch , until Funcom realizes the boat is sinking , and start changing everything - including server rules , in desperate effort to save the game....

Shame really.

It could be such a great game

I'm glad our guild is starting on PvE server.

The chat in open beta is worse than barrows in WoW.Amazing how many retarded comments people can make in the chat.Just because it's FFA pVP people think they are allowed to say anything.It might be rated M for mature but there is nothing mature happening in the global chat in OB.

Starting on a PvE server give people time to level and in the meantime Funcom hopefully can fix their game until we're ready to get guildcities and battlekeeps because as it is now it's not quite ready.

There are so many things that is missing/flawed/bugged and it's amazing how different playexperiences people have when it comes to performance.Some people playing on state of the art PC's that cost 3K+ can't play the game and some on 1 years PC's can.

Looks like Funcom still have a lot of work to do the following months.

I start at release and hope they improve their game in time for guildcities/crafting/battlekeeps sieges.

If they don't i guess i have to hope for Mythic to deliver a better PvP game.

I've made up my mind and I'll start with the PvE, that way I can avoid the ghost town servers/character moving etc. which is pretty obvious to happen.
