Age of Conan

LOL despite saying you wouldn't act like a fangirl in the other thread, you can't seem to help yourself when it comes to defending WOW at every opportunity. You even came into the dedicated AOC thread to do it. ;)

You can rest assured that's an engine render so it'll appear that way in the game, and not everybody will say that armour from World Of Warcraft looks good (different strokes for different folks). If you think it looks good then that's fine, but personally I think it looks childish as all hell.

Here's a newbie armour for you to drool over! :p

:confused:

I've played AoC, I draw my opinions from what I've played, I'm not blindly making jabs at it.

Why would I drool over that armour? You know on WoW and AoC some low level armour will look good, others terrible.

Also if graphics meant so much to me I'd be playing Conan, I much prefer the visuals of WoW because of the locations, characters and the armour.

and FYI, I've only recently started playing WoW again, not really a fangirl, I just haven't had any other MMORPG come close to it and I've tried LOTRO, Conan and FF11.

lol, I started playing WoW again also. Quit a few months ago, vowed to never play again. Tried playing AoC but it just seemed crap tbh. Now I'm back playing WoW. I've tried to quit WoW about 3 times now, and I've tried numerous other MMO's but I just keep going back to WoW.

I didn't say graphics are everything, just said I think WOW looks childish. It's not just about graphics either, but about atmosphere and environment too, all of which totally trump WOW in AOC.

Of course this is just my opinion, and we can respect eachother's opinions.

Didn't say you were a fangirl.

I simply pointed out how, after your rhetoric in one of your first posts in the other thread, you've gone out of your way to do the opposite. You're entitled to your opinion of course, but the fact I see your signature every few posts in that thread flies in the face of what you said you'd do. And now you're here too, I suspect you're here to stay. ;)



P.S. This is the most I've ever had to tell someone "I didn't say..." when I think I was more than clear.

lol wtf, so basically they've introduced this fancy fugitive system but all it's going to do is stop people ganking all together, because who is going to want to lose their best items and gold? They might as well have just disabled ganking completetly.

Being red is a double edged sword? Yeah right, whatever. "People will see you as a danger to be avoided" uhhh, why? You drop one of your best items and gold if they kill you, they'll be going at you like moths to a lightbulb in the dark. They really haven't thought this through have they?

Oohh yeah if you get red you'll get some attention, that's definitely worth risking you best items and gold over...NOT. What the hell....

If you have played any old pvp,you know you used to lose loot and gold/plat,i will more likely try pvp now looking at what they trying to bring in instead of the half baked pvp stuff of the last few years.

Same story here... :o

Also the only reason I pop up in here is to see how people are getting on and what updates get released, doubt I'll ever play it again but always keep an eye on new MMO's for a while out of curiosity.

I don't really remember what post I made about not getting involved either, I'm sure it exists though, however I don't really care, I go back on my word all the time, it's second nature.
 
Wow graphics put me off it for a long time but when i started playing it they weren't as bad as i first thought,Aoc graphics are very good but can be a bit bland at places but the views of the landscape you can get are wicked if you high up.

I hope that I'm not coming across as if I'm saying I didn't like WOW just because of the graphics, there were a lot of reasons that it's just not the game for me really. I'm not even saying it's a "bad game", bad games are actually rare IMO. :)

No you not and my post wasn't aimed at anybody i really didn't like the cartoony graphics myself but playing wow they grow on me(i only played wow for a month as i just quit EQ1)
 
I do find that unlike EQ1 what had pok where anybody could go and buy and sell and do crafting and just buff and chat and had teleports to most places,you alway had a lot of people in the zone,where in Aoc they all split up and to me it feels like a single player game a lot of the time and the fact most can still be soloed but i am not that high lvl 43.
 
im bit drunk but anyway i think people afraid to move from wow to aoc as they have to move there finger move combos etc ... lol its more action then u have to press a icon to execute a skill u have to combo it with is really cool
 
Hmmm I like the going red idea. Although it will bring back memories of playing a very old school MUD in the pre graphics beyond ascii art era. I used to play a game called medievia and had an awesome character with amazing gear, but sadly played drunk and was lured into a chaotic kill area where you could be looted. A whole clan had been waiting for me and stripped me naked. It had taken me over 2 years to get the best tweaks on all the best items in the game. I quit soon after I was so mad.
 
thnx for the fix on that memory error however...
lately i have been getting a bugg when my map will go grey and all i can see are indicators etc is there a fix to this or is it just a bugg that needs updating?
thnx Kane

Ganking is not what pvp is about, maybe coming from Warcraft that gives you a bad opinion. The new system works very well in UO and will work well in AoC.

PvP is about extra challenge, good riddence to gankers. Why do you think is sounds so much like the 'w' word.

*Waves bye to Kitty* Theres already a WoW vs AoC thread go vent there ;)
 
This new PvP system is something I have dreamed about for almost 10 years in a modern MMO!!!

Damn but FunCom have impressed me, they have obviously been listening to their community which is so rare in any game market and especially in MMO's!

Anyway this fugitive system just seems to be a way to stop ganking almost completely, because basically nobody is going to risk their best gear and items for nothing. If people didn't want to be ganked then they should have rolled a PvE server.

They say you will be punished for killing the same person over and over, even if they are the same level..etc, why? If it is supposedly fair because you are the same level, which is implied by this system in that you are not punished for killing people of the same level, why are you punished for this?

They say you will also be punished for "Other general unfairness". What about things like if someone is fighting a mob and you attack them? Will you be punished for that? If you're not then how is that fair? How is that a fair fight? If you are punished for that, then what are you supposed to do? Politely stand there whilst this person kills a mob then gets to full hp and mana...etc? What is the point in that? That isn't FFA PvP, you might as well be playing in a controlled instanced PvP environment.

They say they only want to punish unfairness, but ultimately FFA PvP is almost never fair. Only in a controlled environment with some kind of matchup system will PvP even be remotely fair. Also I've seen videos of high level AoC PvP, assassins killing people in 2 seconds. How is that fair? You're killed before you even have a chance to respond? That's not fair.
 
Its only if you have been out ganking lowbies. Not 80 vs 70+ Lets face it its not hard killing someone 10+levels lower than you. If you fancie ganking a bunch of lowbies, just stick on your fav green set and go ganking hell you might aswell go nacked its not like they will have anything on you....
