Any1 played Age Of Conan recently

lunarwolf · 16 Apr 2009 at 15:31

wondering if any had played recently, I haven't played since last year and was wondering:
- most bugs fixed now?
- DX 10 implemented?
- anyone still online?

wondering if it's worth resintalling? I have lvl 80 guardian, lvl 80 Bear Shaman, lvl 79 ranger, lvl 63 tempest of Set and 3 more characters lvl 20 to 40 (can't remember exactly what lvls since been a while)

Yes I am, just started, DX10 is working but i wouldnt say very well, or maybe its just my laptop :S There's a big patch coming up soon (1.5) As for bugs I dont know what they were before but it seems pretty stable and i havent noticed anything untoward.

its pretty dull though.

dx10 is implemented vut is quite slow for allot of people my rig plays it dx10 eveything on high and gets a steady 30fps with 8xq aa. and actually runs better than crysis does in dx10

lots of people in my server atleast "fury"

still too many bugs for my liking - havent experienced anything major just anoying ones like if a mage performs a fatality on me which burns me to death i look like im still burnt to death until i relog. i think thers a few feats and things not working also.

i'd wait till the next big patch that makes gear more useful before retrying but at the moment i'm enjoying it. they've added some mid lvl content like a whole new 50-60 area and dungeons, so content is pretty good now

Resubbed a couple of months ago, it has come on massively since the release... loads of content and a lot of fun up until 80, content kind of dries up there and unless you're in one of the top couple of "ganking" guilds or were silly enough to roll on a normal realm then there isn't going to be much fun to be had.

I got a very major impression that due to just a couple of poor design choices in relation to the PvP system, the entire game become not just gank centric, but actively rewarded ganking regardless of method.. which leads to the afformentioned guilds having pretty sizeable groups of players in at all level ranges roaming around zones slaughtering anyone they see repeatedly.

Infact it kind of falls on its **** about there... because the most terrifying thing you can ever meet in the game is not a rabid group of lvl80s out for a few kills but a group of lvl20s in the first towns in the open part of the game corpse camping, they are getting laden with the rewards (PvP XP which will eventually turn into gear) whilst being almost fully protected against anyone doing anything about it.

Lots of fun to be a part of, but obviously when you think it is time to crack on a with a few levels, unless you're heading to a fairly remote area and the travel route is choke point free then you will have to make sure you're doing it out of peak hours to stand a chance of not having groups of people camp you.

.

I used to think that also until I got myself in a decent guild and we started raiding. Working our way though W2 atm in Brc

The Raid content is pretty good (but buggy)

But yes 80 non raid content is pretty meh. It's just two staggered and drops have not been thaught out. But I think that changes in 1.05 more drops

but that's not 2-3 months away as it a total revamp thats need huge testing

renewed my subscription there last month for 1 more month still boring and dull at least for me.

loads of bugs have been ironed out and i feel a huge improvment on the game 1 yr on, DX10 is still in huge testing on test live and is also on live servers now, its an ongoing process but its a lot better than it first was. Still quite a fps drop for it tho. Loads of people online on both crom and aquilonia the 2 servers ive got chars on.

I recently left my 3 lvl 80's on Aquilonia "gankalonia" and moved over to crom "pve server" and i aint looked back...

So much better on pve than pvp imho. You can actually lvl when u want and pvp FAIRLY when u want.

My advice is when they announce transfers resub and transfer to a pve server if u hate the ganking as thats where my other 3 lvl80s will be going when they can.
