Age of Conan

Commenting only on the gameplay. 20 FPS with 7800 gt card.

Pros

Nice graphics

Starting zone is intresting

Cons

Instancing and load screens: Takes away immersion gives a sense of F2P MMO in a sense.

Combat is not as great or different as made out to be.

Graphics while they are nice does not seem vivid or unique. I do not know how to explain but it seems to look far less realistic than Oblivion.

Lack of intresting classes most of them are melee types.

I think its nice game but i think people are gonna get bored of it real soon since there is only one starting zone and not many differences between the races. Hopefully the later zones and quests are little more non linear. Also you do not feel a sense of purpose in this game so what exactly are you supposed to do?

You have been in game, what an hour? Bit premature to review a new MMO based on that kind of game time. Tortage is designed to ease you into the game. Give it a bit more time, get out of the newb area and then give us your impressions.

 I doubt you played more then 30 mins and how can you say lack of intrestring classes when each is completly different,even if you made all 12 classes ,you couldnt have gotten more then lvl 5 on all,and that would mean you only saw the first 2-3 spells ,wich are in the common/shared pool of most classes.

 Graphics far realistic from Oblivion,what are you playing it on ? .. are you playing it with your monitor offline ?

if the beta leaks are true ... the OP is right .

not many will keep playing for long when they find out the grind from 40 -80 consists of 3 maybe 4 zones ?

im sure some one else that knows for sure will reply and correct me .

can we get more details about the combat ? From what I read and saw on video clips it made me consider playing a caster (mage or a healer) to avoid that directional garbage

Conqueror and Guardian seem to me like similar classes with latter wearing little heavier armor, should have merged into one class with option to spec based on feats perhaps?. Same with Barbarian and Assasin, was disappointed that some of the classes that i have read about like Lich were axed off reduced the number of caster classes there.

As for skills was lv 6 i guess you will get access to few more later on but i did not like how all skills are automatically given to you as you lvl up. I wish there was little more depth where you get to choose what skill to train similar to GW.

As for graphics i do not know how to explain may be the lighting effects were bit off in my computer.

I dont trust a review written by a person who has only made one previous posting on the forums. 

And my  detector is acting funny when I read your post.

with a pre-launch hype this big, this game cant realy get boring fast. this game will be even more apealing to younger audiences than WoW because of the M rating.

Combo system for melee i had enraged strike and Brutal enraged .. you choose combo based on the shielding of the target. So if he is not shielded to left use that paticular skill.

Why does it not occur to people that some of the posters with 3 posts are actually NEW PEOPLE who just TRIED THE GAME for the first time? Omg, no way right!?
