Porkchop sandwiches!

I do not see anything special about the PvP that was displayed in that video. It looks about as interesting as AoC PvP. I am not sticking up for AoC in anyway though. AoC failed on so many levels for me.

Odd, I expected to see combat footage from EVE.  You were talking about REAL PVP afterall.

I mean, I hate to see people wasting good time on another game.

MMOs require more reasoning and imagination than most stereotypically ''adult'' activities.

Nice Video mscouts77.  And thanks for all the other WAR videos you've posted on Youtube.

Im still trying out warhammer, maybe i'll post the video where there is no line of sight, minimal C.D. and fire balls that travel through solid 50ft of rock and other terrain?

PvP XP in 5 days for AoC, no auto targetting, cone shaped spells and heals, better AoE effects, positional attacks, every class can stealth, mounted combat anywhere, smooth animations, siege weapons that can be moved and made by the player, Siege cities all player crafted, no population imbalance concerns, can PvP against people of any race or class, PvP teams that you can create and not created by the computer, better spell effects, fatalities, no 3 second delay in melee weapon swings, every class stamina controlled sprinting, snares and many other regular pvp additions.

War offers tried and tested PvP in a different skin with minimal note worthy additions in my opinion. Its good, but old.

I like war's pvp overall, and both games have their merits in this area. As a player my preferance is with the style presented in AoC. If what comes next week enhances that, then thats even better.

Thanks for posting the war vid makes for clearer perspectives in the bigger picture.

I'm sorry, all I see is you running around in circles around the target. Around... and around... and around... until one of you drops dead. I guess the difference between pvp and pve is that in pve you stand in front of the enemy and fight.

If that's what you enjoy, great. Looks as bad as bunny hopping pvp from AoC to me.

damn you guys give avery a lot of problems.  I personally see him as the most reasonable AoC fan around here.

 

yes, some of the stuff he listed most of us dislike (massive amounts of stealth) a lot of the stuff is subjective (better, but this whole post is subjective) and a few of the things are a bit misinformed (big guilds beating up little guilds is the same population imbalance WAR will have, just in a different skin)

 

Actually read what he says, he made some good points, and maybe in 5 days AoC will have PvP XP.  this topic was doomed to be flame bait from the start anyway, but try to have an open mind.

 

and while I think the EVE comment was much needed, even there most "real" PvP is gate camping.  the good PvP in EVE is about the deepest PvP you'll get in any MMO, but most of it is pure ganking.

Avery, what are you doing? I've pretty much stood with you on the issues and non issues with AoC. But this comment has got to be stated differently. As much as you can show us a RvR video from WAR with issues, I could show you a documentary of issues with Age of Conan. And that really would only touch the PvP aspect. I honestly thought you were talking about a totally different game. I am actually shocked that one, you responded to flame bait being a correspondent. Please tell me you don't honestly believe this to be true. C.D fixes and things rolling thru terrain are small fixes. And Mythic can easily
