If you don't want to get ganked play oblivion. I am an asshole and I approve this message as well as I approve in beating the little guy down.  It's like mashing snow... It's just fun.

Way to miss the point. It's not about rolaplaying PVP. People are moving into new zones and while they are loading, people are sat waiting and killing them before they have a chance to do anything about it. Entering a zone with 10% health and under attack isn't roleplay.

It is when you're as big of an asshole as I am :)

 If you really like WoW still, by all means stay the hell out of conan.  We don't need people in the game who want to sit back click 2 or 3 buttons and watch the battle.  We want warriors who actually play.  I never like watching, I like being involved in the games I play.  WoW was just click and wait.  Battle never changed.  AoC has a great dynamic battle system and much better toon development.  Not to mention better graphics, mechanics, and storyline.  Why in the hell would you want to do away with instances?  They add server stability in any game.  Why would you want camped dungeons and overpoped zones? Why would you rather play a cartoon than a gritty fantasy game?  I just don't get it.  Do you just hate change and improvement?

Because Age of Conan is simply NOT the way MMORPG's can develop.

 

Despite its higher detailed graphics it is a way BACK to earlier MMORPG designs of "closed" "preloaded" graphics with hampered gameplay as a result.

As of Conan blowing Wow out of the water is MUST laugh. LOL LOL LOL

Name me ONE aspect of the game Conan is a further evolution in MMORP's  BTW.

- Talking NPC's? skipped on second meeting and what'sa patatoe doing in an ON line game for minutes long monologues? I thought linear adventuring ended in the 90's.

- Graphics that hamper gameplay (from terrible long loading screens to PvP animation, "death on loading" designs and the end of seamless worlds as we know them).

- Parallel instanceswhere you can't meet because you're manipulated into another dimension, just by enterin a city.

Preloaded boxes is a failure in MMORPG, that's why.

 

 

so wrong, I pity you.  You are just impatient and would rather play simple click and wait games than dynamic battles.  Cartoon games suck.  I would rather have the grit any day.  WoW's battle system is pathetic and causes predictability in battle.

In WoW battles are far from swift and tense.  More like boring and predictable.

About a million internet movies prove you wrong.

 

Ever entered an arena battle and wondered why people throw computers and mouses at their feet.

Just try it.

I've played much WoW and the people who take those videos are simple, fetal alcohol simple as well as the people who loose those fights.  Boring and predictable show me a build and I can beat it.  Fanboi's... so annoying.

I'm sorry, but mmos eventually have to jump into higher graphics, just because it's a mmo, doesn't mean i have to deal with 7 year old graphics.

To all you WoW fanbois - why are you on the forum bashing conan?  Shouldn't you be farming gold or running around your "seamless world" or asking your parents to buy you another subscription card so you can play cartoons for another month?

 AoC blows WoW away and the graphics are great and refreshing to see in an MMO.  Really, the zoning isn't bad at all.  Besides if all you do is run around from zone to zone doing 1 quest at a time you are doing something wrong.  Collect your quests and do them in batches.  After you leave tortage in AoC the environment is in great form.  Just great!

they prolly mean the main site, not the early launch.

yes they mean early access.  It is now over 3 hours past EA time and I cannot login still, yes I did purchase early access.

wow... you're even more behind than funcom is...  Every new thread for 3 hours on mmorpg has been about this...

or you could actually check out the games official site

Interesting tidbit while we wait for servers to come up.

Called Gamestop, and spoke with the manager. 

He says that they went ahead and told the retail stores to shelve it today, and that people who purchased it today would be able to play.  He specifically inquired about playability because he remembered about selling some Final Fantasy game awhile back before it was playable.  I dont know about this, I never played any FF games.. he said people couldn't play for 9 days or something, so that was why he specifically asked the people who supply him about playability.  He was told (and this is a quote) "people who buy the game on the 17th will be able to play it."

The plot thickens...  lol

Like I said earlier..  Im not going to go postal if I cant play it until the 20th, I dont want to turn this thread into another whine-fest, there are enough of those.  I just found this interesting, and wanted to relay my specific situation.  Ill post my findings when the servers come up in 23 minutes (if they come up?) for those that care.

 -Gonz

EDIT:  The gamestop manager asked me to call him back and let him know if I could play or not, which I fully intend to do.

Try "google"  It is an interesting internet search tool.

Now back to the topic of THIS thread......

My patcher doesn't even come up, I go straight to intro vid then login and authent server is unavailable when I try to log in.  But I patched this morning way before origional EA start time.

Hyborea is just after Atlantis sunk so sparta should eventually surface. Maybe his guild will be the one that will build it eventually. No RP problems there to me.

And to a certain person: Oh, no... The server changed name before launch, glad i stopped my preorder.Get a life.

Call your guild "sparta" or "spartans" or "First born Spartans"  Problem solved!

the only difference between the preorder clients and the downloaded client is the preorder client installs with the option for DX10, where the downloaded client only installs DX9

my DL client has the option for dx10........

Goto settings>video>advanced

It's the FIRST option for dx9 or 10

do i have to install the cds in the box to get the early access? or the code EB games gave me is good for it till the 20th?

the douche at EB games didnt know, damn california

early access is sold out now, if you didn't pay the $5 through funcom last week  you cannot get in till th 20th.

see, now I thought I was funny for a minute

... sigh...

um... Start my first toon...

Patch servers are down until they patch them to send the patch out...

It IS a right when you paid $5 usd for it!!!!!!!!!!  If it was free it would be a privilege.

You can't compare the 2 games.

Apples and oranges.

How can you even compare a console based offline RPG with a PC based MMORPG?

They are not even the same kind of game.  I like both games, but, I don't think they should be compared.  Mass Effect is a game that deals with interacting with NPC's only and TR has more players than NPC's.  Neither game was really groundbreaking, both are good, but, not great.

I'm just waiting for AoC to come out and possibly stargate.
