Age of Conan

Hey People

A friend of mine said that people are talking behind my back in this forum   . I went over and sure as hell, there I see my name. OK, people since you now first dragged me over here to make an account I might aswell just announce that, I am here and that you will get very familiar with my controversial posts in future. My voice is straight up front and it will never be flavoured by other forumposters opinion. I might in fact just start right away by saying:

I think AoC is a fantastic MMO with a bright future.

Reasons: In short FC had the balls to invent rather novel content than rehash old shit.

Post patch 2.0 players, let me hear your thoughts.

Only thought I have is how grateful I am for the Block feature on these forums.  Post away, WargPest.  Post away.

Name three things FC invented for AoC that have never appeared in another game.

I frequent the AoC boards and I have never heard of you. What made you so famous or Infamous on the AoC boards? Are you Protus? He was the only one that I know that people called a Fanboi.

Yes except for the mini-games. They just called it minigames, but its no differernt from battlegrounds or the monster thing from LOTRO.

I can only think of one mmo with lore used in other mmo's and that would be EQ2 which obviously is a sequel so I guess thatgives every mmo out there a point,mini games been there and done that so I guess combat is 1 thing which didn't turn out all that great imho.

Gee you make this too easy

1. Bear Shaman

2. Conqueror

3. Stygian Assasin

4. Pluss all the other classes

Joke asside, the whole new charactersystem in AoC has never been seen before you know how the MMO industry like to fck these orks,elfs and whatever over and over again in the ass and throw out the same classes to the avergare Icannevergetenoughelfuser (cause the system is known and easy to balance. After all gamedevs want to make money and don't want extra trouble just for the sake of trouble). Well AoC punched that behaviour right in the face. Every thing new and no gay-elfs.

If you are looking for more grand statements like AoC designed and implemented stateof the art graphics, A MMO combat system based on guard, dodge and combos which never has been done before even though there have been very poor attempts, a complex and by the way awesome looking fatality system, the smoothest non-clunky combat animations in the industry( I know FC used those sensor suits on real people when making those animations), a best in class story-RP PvE type content, Mass siege and a guild system that reaches fare beyond what the immediate competitors in the industry has in place. Hows that for a starter.

I played AoC beta and canceled before I had to pay for a month.  Maybe I'll go back, maybe I won't.  Nevertheless, the Bear Shaman and Assassin were taken almost directly from Guild Wars.  Conquerors, were, if I recall correctly, just another melee class.     However, the fatality animations were good, especially with the robe wearing 2-handed weapon using mage class.  Decapitations were fun, the first few hundred times.  (I forget the name of the class.)
