grinding world pvp would get boring too....im just saying..the more options the better

  World pvp never gets old for me. However fps type mini games got old the first few times I did them. More choices does not necessarily = better. For the most part from what Ive seen, people abandoned world pvp and it becomes andafter thought .... something that happens occasionally.

 

 However in AOC, we have sieges so there will definately be some world pvp. But with scheduled times or days to do it, how much pvp will happen in between? Probably enough to keep me happy, I just would rather have all focus on constant world pvp ... I really hate the mini games.

however if you mean world pvp like the battles of Southshore people miss so much...ughh....those battles werent fun...just a bunch of people hiding near guards waiting for someone to get within just enough range to be killed or ganked...that got old in 10 minutes...

Maybe if you had a CLUE what you were talking about.. people wouldn't be laughing at you.

 

oh btw.. LMAO at the clueless OP

Damn, only you laughing bud. Just because I do not wanna conform to what someone else things is a good idea that makes me not know what I am talking about? I am talking about anyone at anytime taking a Keep. You go to bed at night and it is yours. Come home from work and damn the Keep belongs to someone else and as you get there, 4 guilds are ALL fighting for it. You join your guild in the battle and see if you have what it takes. But it is true Fion, you just go with the popular opinion instead of going with your imagination and what would be a hellva fun fightin time. Besides, it's PVP not Mario Cart my little one.. :)

when a player logs off for the night nobody is left..the keep is 100% empty...a line has to be there for Real life versus Game life...period

if it was your way everyone just raid at off times and there would be zero challenge and keeps changing hands daily....how many keeps/castles/forts you know in any history or roleplaying book novel or moive had something like that change hands so often? Mr. Roleplay?

exactly none.....

You have to look at it this way... In WoW I gain 99% of my honor by winning the batleground matches, with that extra 1% coming from enemy kills. In AoC I get 0% of my PVP exp from winning PVP mini games and 100% from enemy kills. Mini games are not going to be the easiest way to get PVP exp, it just another way of killing your enemies to get it.

I know you don't get xp for winning the minigames (at least we didn't in the pvp beta) If it's hard to find people to fight in the open world and much easier and faster to do minigames than that's what people will do. Why run around chasing people down in the open world when you can sit in a city and que up minigames all day. That's what some people are concerned about and all I'm saying is that I see their point. Minigames are much different than open world pvp.

Well part of World PVP is people have to be willing to do it. If people are to lazy to go out and look for people to fight in the game world, how is that Funcom's fault? PVP mini games are there for people as an alternative, because not everyone is going to play on a PVP server and not everyone is going to want to World PVP. I don't know if you know or not but not everyone plays the game like you do. Personally I could care less about PVP, as I am in it mianly for the pVE. Different strokes for different folks.

yes guys, please listen to this post...all the pro-world pvpers are basically trying to FORCE everyone to their playstyle...i dont know about you guys but what i want to do when i log on everyday is different....if i just wanna quest, play CTF, raid, world pvp or just fish....

Funcom should have something for everyone...and they DO !

Mnigames arent going to kill world pvp...people just not wanting to do world pvp is the only thing that will kill world pvp...if its really that much more fun then DO IT ! ...quit relying on Funcom to *hard code* your fun for you, there will always be people that ONLY do things that yield rewards...worry about yourself and you will be much happier !

and QUIT  comparing this game to  WOW...you will have plenty of people to pvp with...there are no factions its FREE FOR ALL !!  you will have so much trouble trying to level from 1-80 with all the pvp'ing going on ! trust me you will get your PVP fix !!

I will have to warn you, and now I am not being a doomsayer by saying this, if you are casual it will be fun from 1-80 and you will probably have a blast when you get to the solo quests. But it looks like once you get to 80 there isn't much other then raiding(Now this is the sketchy information, there could be something else I don't know. But with other starter MMOs its basically you get to the level cap and you hit a brick wall.) You might hit a brick wall when you get to 80 because everything needs more people and more time. But this is speculation which I don't like going into. But you have to be warned. So yes I think it is from 1-80 but things are sketchy at the level cap mark.

you also fail to mention by the time he acutally makes it to lv 80 Funcom will have added tons of additonal content as most MMO's do

quit trying to compare it to the honor system in WoW...if you suck in pvp in AoC you will never be high level no matter how many hours you sink into

Why was that even worth mentioning? Sounds just like any other MMO to me.

not really when you look at it....only 2 major MMO releases in the last 3 years had this degree of end game at *launch*

 

Vanguard and Eq2..

WoW didnt, Tabula Rasa didnt DDO didnt and Lotro didnt

Plus im trying to post something that doesnt have to do with fileplanet and beta keys lol

 

vanguard and EQ2 LMAO????

ARE U REALLY BEING SERIUOS?

You think vanguard had any endgame at launch or even now, and EQ2 at lauch, newsflash, it took EQ2 2+ to fix the pile of crap that it was and still continues to be.

 

lol ok so *No* game in the last 3 years has lanched with end game content ...makes AoC look that much better :)

 

You think because they have a so called raid dungeon, the other major flaws, and yes there are major issues with the game, that it makes aoc look better?  lol newsflash its meant to try to be better because its meant to be the next gen, 3rd gen, pvp skill gen, wow killer gen  overhyped gen game we have all been hearing about for the past 3+ years from the fanbois.  Ltest see if they can actually live up to the hype and show us waht is so 3rd gen and next gen about their game.

sure the game has flaws, all games do but the good outwiegh the bad for me

where da hell did this post come from? lol

As of right now, Funcom is hoping it'll take around six months for the first guild in Age of Conan to move all the way through the raid content and defeat the final boss, the evil wizard Thoth-Amon.

If this is the case, its safe to assume a average player in a smaller guild  will take closer to 10-12 months to do the same, and by that time Funcom will have even more content ready im sure...i LIKE IT

of course Dev's never know how fast hardcore guilds burn through content so you never know...regardless its comforting to know Funcom is accouting for these speed guilds

vanguard 2.0 i mean age of conan needs the following.

player killing outside of town - this would make the player feel like he or she is in great danger anytime he or she leaves town. ultima online had this and tons of uo players want it back.

alpha classes - they should go in look at how big jedi was in swg before $OE stole the pre-cu away from the player base. warcraft is putting it in with death knight this would be a big selling point and would get tons of people to play.

less pve more pvp - people want pvp and that should be the over all goal of the game.

drop the xbox port - does anyone really want the 13 year old racist xbot 360 players on conan? i don't and i know tons of people who don't. then again the xbox is a system that should be gone by the end of the year good riddens.

more sandbox - again more people want sandbox over level based.

crafting - crafting should be where all the good items come from not pve.

redo the game - yes i believe after doing the pvp beta that conan needs another 6 to 12 months in the oven. the level based stuff just doesn't work. and the game just crashes all the time. hold off on it and redo the game that will save conan from becoming vanguard 2.0

roll on a pvp server you can kill anywhere outside town

alpha/hero classes: umm for what? this doesnt bring anything to the game at all maybe in a year or 2 they can re-visit it, but the game has tons of class choices already

this is subjective ...more pvp and less pve...why not cater to both? just becasue YOU only like pvp doesnt mean others do....myself sometimes i like to get away and kill a few bosses in dungeons with my friends to relax...a GOOD game should do both

lol you know why most people hate xbox gamers? because a majority of them have headsets because they dont have a keyboard...force PC players to headsets only and i bet MONEY you will hear the same stuff,

again you want a skill based system...i want a level based system...there are pros and cons for both, there is no clear cut winner

the devs have said the best items are crafted....

so looking at your reasons to add 12 more months to AoC? i see NIL

please explain why 3,000 people on one server is a epic fail?

but anyway i think that information is made up...think about it....3,000 people online at peak....maybe about 8,000 people that acutally have chars on that server....ok

Funcom stated at lanuch they will be able to handle 650,000......

which means at lanuch they will have 81 servers?? I DOUBT IT BIG TIME...no way in hell they will have THAT many servers....

the gamespot Beta weekend sent out 15,000 keys and the server said Low Population the enitre weekend...fact

Keen and Graev's Gaming Blog ...what a JOKE....

check out their videos on you tube...they ADMIT to playing certian classes for the very first time and have the nerve to say they suck....

my fav video is when Keen plays a demonogist...not only does he NOT use their extremlely powerful root, he also casts AOE's on single players..runs right into melee...doesnt use sprint even tho its basically free for casters...the list goes on....

yeah im gonna throw out a crazy number....800,000 to 1 million in 5 months..

all the pre-orders, the boredom of the summer, WaR delay, lich king long development ....AoC acutally being a good game with great pvp..... should be money in the bank

I'd like to see AmazingAvery or any of the die-hard, card carrying fanbois of AoC come to us with their top 10 lists of things Funcom borked and would like to see fixed in AoC.  You see us so called trolls always posting the good and bad we like about the game.  How is it that a fanbois can't do the same?

Let's have it fanbois, and you know who you are, please... tell us what you don't like about AoC (since the PvP beta weekend) and what you'd like to see changed.

The top ten things I'd like to see changed are...

 

 

 

Im never going to understand you, one day your for AoC the next your against it, pick a freaking side man!

 

Do you just smoke a crap load of weed every once in a while or something, because looking over your post history again you are back and forth more than ... well idk what.

 

-Jive

 

I sit on the fence my friend.  I post positives and negatives about the game.  I'm really hoping AoC is a smash hit.  I have a few reservations and I like to find out if people have the same reservations I do.  Take for example, in the past six months alone, Funcom has removed several classes, removed prestige classes, and a lot of other stuff that I don't know if I like or not.  Also, we still don't have the skinny on crafting.  Crafting is the deep, dark secret of AoC.  We don't even know if it is really in or not because they have not shown it to us.

Here is the part that scares me the most.  Any MMOG I play today or plan to play in the future must have crafting, FOR ME!  If the game doesn't have a good crafting system, I won't play the game.  The scary part about AoC is that you either have to buy the game to get to 40 or pray that the buddy key that you get from your friend allows you to play past level 13 or someone like me is screwed.  I don't like being kept in the dark 1/2 way to max level to find out if what I like about MMOGs is enjoyable to me or not.

Why is crafting introduced at 40?  Why not before?  Why are they still hiding so much of this game from the public?

Make no mistake, I've been following Howard's Conan since I was a young teen.  I love Hyboria.  I want to love this game but so much of it is kept from us, that it scares me.

 

 

 

sure i know the game has trimmed some things ...but over the course of 5 years im sure for every idea they have had to scrape was replaced with a idea they didnt plan on adding....

NDA is coming down soon so who cares about the 1-13 testers....you will hear feedback from testers who have seen every nook and cranny from 1-80

this is the BIGGEST mmo release since EQ2/WoW....the general feeling of the game is postive from tons of different people who have played the game, lots of signs show this game could be a big sucess, ....its time for a leap of faith Shannia....

and if we all fall on our face, well....that sucks for all of us because we wont see a major title for quite awhile after this :(

lol Shannia...

...sure in AoC i like to see some things fixed like the loading screen after death, terrian exploits, some skills bugged, small graphical issues etc...

but the game itself  WORKS its FUN its PLAYABLE its ADDICTING and if what i saw this weekend was AoC at it worse...then by god we are in for one hell of a game
