just alot of people checking the fourms after seeing the pvp beta weekend thing.

Those were probably the 500k bots created by Funcom to populate the official forums... or so some claim

 

But yes your right there was a downtime. They are also probably going to make some new forums for launch, and there is speculation might be continental split! 

 

lol gj in that post earlier, had to get the flo-chart out on em. I thought you were going to break into powerpoint presentation next.

Thank you. Do you know if we can beta test it on the Xbox 360 yet?

No, sorry. xbox isnt for a while. Everyone will have premade level 20 characters. Looks like they are mainly checking stability and balance.

 "To make the weekend even more interesting Eidos and Funcom also includes the engaging Age of Conan character creation system, allowing players to create avatars with strong personalities. All 12 classes in the game, including the barbarian, can be picked and tested, with Funcom transforming each character into a fully specced level 20 death machine. In PvP lobbies players can then chat and socialize, prior to entering PvP matches. Participants are urged to test different classes, and offer any feedback on the forums. There will also be forums on GameSpot.com where people can talk about the event, and Funcom staff will be present to gather feedback."

Afetr watching some of the more "linear zone" videos on youtube, I'm not that worried about this anymore. Likely the only inv walls will be zone borders and in citys. I think the more linear (smaller zones) will be about the size of felwood in WoW.

Here's your chance to battle like a barbarian!

What about a half-opened Marky Mark and the funky bunch make my video for Sega CD?

So I was looking around in my game drawer today and noticed I had my old CE in there with ST, artbook, and Im pretty sure I got the original box somewhere. My question is do you guys think this would be worth anything?

combat

grafix :P

pvp/seige

leather map

bioware style quests and dialog

fatalities

just simply experiencing a new innovative mmo that will hold my attention for a while because I'm bored with all current mmo's and not playing anything

o yea and boobies j/k lol

btw anyone else notice theres been alot less trolling in here the past few days?

they email them to you if im not mistaken probably want to call and tell them to get there crap together

That conqueror looked like he was tanking regular mobs pretty well. I wonder how they will be compared to guardians in end game.

I saw my avatar in there the blood defiler he looked tough

There were a couple of different levels of blood defilers in size too. They were well animated but a bit slowish and had good HP. Bit of a scary area, the music, those mobs rising up from the blood and the pile of burning bodies smoking away. Pretty atmospheric, there were mushroom spores you could collect up there for crafting I think, urrmm and there was a few quest lines that went thru, every corner you turn you would expect something to jump out at you - and it did!

Good to hear.

So did the last guy seem like push over compared to other mobs to anyone else?

Your tide of information is more like a drippy faucet

I wonder why? OH yeah, a little something called the NDA?

 

Some people may want to troll but others could be giving genuine info, never know. If people start to say this game isn't what people imagine when it's so close to release, however, most people are automatically gonna yell TROLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

yes considering where he's getting all his information consists of 3 people in the beta and only 1 that is complaining and he's not even there anymore. The rest like the game

Your tide of information is more like a drippy faucet

I know if I had a quad and a top of the line gfx card I'd expect to play games without hitching. If the game still performs bad then thats the programmers fault not mine.

They have upgraded it alot but its funny that way because some people say they don't hitch and some say they do. I played it for a few days last week with my free trial code I had left over and it still hitched for me. I don't have a crappy PC either 8800gt 2g ram dual core processor. I have also read of guys with 8800gtx and quads doing the same. its more a hard drive thing and poor coding

If any new MMO follows this same path, I won't play. I'm looking for complete immersion, a virtual world, not a game. If anything, developers should be taking a queue from Vanguard with its open world. A forest is a forest. Almost any mountain can be climbed. In fact, a huge portion of my time while play Vanguard was trying to scale their massive mountains. Unfortunately, there was nothing in those mountains, but it was still awesome to be able to climb to the very top and see the whole world around me.

The same reason you like it is the same reason I don't why? The hitching. This seamless world can’t move data from memory to hard drive fast enough. I agree it would be an awesome feature and only one game comes close to doing this right dare I say it... WoW. But this is something I am willing to trade for good combat and great graphics.

I am not in the beta and I can't remove any speculation on this topic but many other games had invisible walls in beta to keep players out of unfinished content and if current beta testers are playing an old version of the game then lots of them will be removed before release. The game is completely made of zones so if your hoping for seamless world with no load screens AoC isn't your game.

From what we know so far there are at least two huge zones Wild lands(with many mountains and hills to explore) and Khopshef Province(a large desert with alot of small villages).

I'm hoping it will end up like EQ2/FFXI/COX. Personally I wouldn't mind a few maze like zones to mix things up (note I said a few) or else you end up with something like SWG or Vanguard with tons of empty real estate. It has been said many times before, who knows if its gonna be to restrictive until you demo the game for yourself.

P.S. is there anyway we can merge all these threads into one mega thread lol
