Maybe now but your first run would be enjoyable would it not ;), hardly any voice acting after tortage and i thought the acting was pretty good. Apart from the terrible acting in the game. You would tihnk someone lying on the floor who just got ravaged by a couple of cannibals would scream a bit :D
 
just got my first level 80 raid epic, not even level 80 yet :O 3 levels to go


Edit: pic removed, munching my BW.

Is this the system you've got or the one you're planning? Either way, 4GB of RAM will make a massive difference for this game and at current prices you won't feel the pinch :) It'll run decently even on those specs though.

Age of Conan isnt like Age of Empires... at all.

Age of Conan is a massive multiplayer online game where you run about killing things with swords/spells, Age of Empires is a single player god game where you build citys. You need to do some reading up sonny!

Your CPU's fast enough, the client never uses more than 60% of each core on mine and it's only an E2180 (albeit oc'ed to 3GHz). RAM is the thing. As for the graphics card, if you're upgrading specifically for this game I'd go Nvidia as they haven't optimised it for Ati cards yet. That may change by th time the 4870 comes out, but tbh 90% of new cards from both manufacturers in recent years have had very dodgy and unoptimised drivers on release so it'll probably end up running only slightly faster than on your current card :/

woah very nice, how big can the raids get and how hard are the bosses?

Raids are 24man. There not so tough as healing in reality is capped as they dont stack. Its more about what gear the Guardian has and ours is mainly equipped in blue heavy armor which does not cut the mustard at all so were having a hard time. We cant craft plate because of the stupid gem bug atm, also we dont have level 2 armor crafting building yet, so we dont have access to the real nice level 80 pieces yet.


Lets see what fixed when the servers come up in the morning.


The main problem im having in regards to gear stats is that the character sheet does not display all stats which is really not usefull at all and it does not sat what most of the stats do and how they scale. For example on that armor it says +2.2 resist rating proficiency, what the hell does that mean ? Its not explained anywhere.

Are the servers down now? I read the proposed patch times but didnt know if they were in force.

Any ideas of the patch notes? or do we not get them till after the servers are up?

A lot of stuff isn't explained, people on forums are slowly trying to pick it together but without much success so far. I think they did it this way so that people wouldn't figure out the best tactics for each dungeon in the game within a week of launch, and I can't say I blame them for that, but it makes picking what feats to spec in for pvp a matter of creative guesswork.

The game hasn't even been out for a month and you're already 3 levels from 80? :eek:

Where's the challenge in that? :confused:

You always get people who power level, it happened in WoW too. Personally I've been playing the same char since early access and I'm only level 31.
 
I got this game last Sunday and i love it, im only level 17 and still in Tortage. Im not even in a guild and dont really know the full ropes of the game... Its great though!

Feels like a game instead of a choir compared to WOW.

Great how the game can go both ways i.e Single Player to Multiplayer.
 
One of the guys from my ArmA clan went inactive to play this, he's already back as he's completed the main story and has a level 80 (8 days played).
I'm still undecided whether to get it or not :(

Its summer.... Ive had this game for 9 days now... and i have one char and im only lvl 17 and theres still so much to do.

I play it for about 1 hour or more each night and im good on it.

I cant understand how these people are level 80 in like 6 days etc... They must have no life/job/bed.

I get up at 08:00 get showered and into my suit... go to work for 09:00. Finish at 17:30pm and come home, i then have a shower or a quick wash and get changed into my civi's. Then i iwll turn my PC on go on MSN and Conan for an hour whilst eating my tea and then phone my mates and go out or they come round.

But Christ! Its Summer!!!! not Winter where you play games 23:59 hours of the day!!!!

* Player Building tooltip displays correct predecessor information now.

* The "usable items only" checkbox with traders should now work as intended.
* The facemarking 'Freckles' should now work for new characters.

* Players with Shield of the Risen will not be affected by secondary effects from combos.


Chat

* If you drag a chat window with only one tab in it over the tab-bar of another chat window it will now be added as a tab to that window (inserted before the tab that the mouse is over in the "target" window).
* When pressing enter the input focus will by default go to the last active chat tab rather than the selected "default tab". The previous behaviour can be achieved by checking the "Default Window" menu entry for one of the tabs.

* Becoming a Woodcutter should no longer erroneously tell you that you've learned the 'Evading Roll' combo.

NPC

* Monsters 4 levels or higher will now correctly have increased evade and immunity chance.
* Resource gathering npcs will now display the '?' over their heads when you have the goal and items to return to them.

Playfields

Tempest of Set
