Age of Conan

So ok i know we getting only to level 13....Fine , but are we getting everything else that we will expect on release like the final Graphics engine and client ect ? (Real world weather ect) or are we getting a older version like we did in the PvP weekend?

If this has been answered somewhere please feel free to direct me.

ur not playing on cheetah 2, ur playing on cheetah 1

methinks we're going to have to wait and see. I've seen nothing posted about it yet.

So we are playing a older version of the client for Open Beta?

It will not be a retail release version. This is another version designed just for the stress test. There will be no directx 10. No raid dungeons. I still think this version has the same low quality hair texture bug in it.

DirectX 10, Keep Battles, Raid Dungeons are all Retail release only material. They are holding all of that back for release, along with afew other things.

It has been stated by Gaute himself that apparently, the Developers want to keep a few of the new things in AoC under a tight lid until release. That is, it won't be released to Beta. This was stated in an interview and among those are Spellweaving, Battlekeeps/Sieging and DirectX 10 Graphics.

Make of that what you will, since I know the haters will immediately begin pointing out that FC has something to hide and the other side of the fence will praise FC for being thoughtful enough to keep surprises for retail.

My opinion? Wait and see.

Sure i appreciate we not get all the dungeons ect no point since only lvl 13 we only be on Tortage but be a damn shame if not final client.

The final clients content will probably be patched in at some stage. Open, closed, general, technical.... they're all still  only BETA.

It would be nice if we could just (assuming we have a CD- KEY for release/pre-order) just run the patcher to update this version versus re-installing again. Especially for those of us who might be waiting for CD via snail mail.

Jeez don't they realize people are trying this to decide on whether to buy?
