    He just likes to belittle things he has no understanding off. He has made comments in numerous threads that he would buy a game for its looks rather than how it plays, this is stood up by his constant WoW put downs. Just ignore him, i think most people have sussed out what type of person he is

    Re: Age of Conan Open Beta - 1st of May

    I've not tried Conan yet, I have paid for the early access though and have it installed and waiting for 5pm tomorrow.

    Is there going to be a Hexus guild starting up at all? I'm sorry if this has already been discussed in this thread elsewhere, I did look and could not see anything.

    I'm planing on rolling a guardian, prolly on a PvE server. From what I have read PvP servers sound like they are going to be a gank fest and I had enough of that playing WoW on a PvP server. But if there is going to be a guild and it's on a PvP server, I guess I could give it ago.

    I'd be doubtful on the trial Josh - MMOs generally save the free trial until initial signup inertia has dropped off (think 3-6 months if it goes well, 4 weeks if it's not selling)

    I'd agree with the timeframe quoted by Splash here. And judging by the fact it's already sold around a million units so far ( I can't remember where I read that figure now though ) I don't think it's going to have a free trail for a while.

    It's only £24.99 at most places though, I got it for £17.99 at Gameplay, but they seem to have put the price up there now as well. So it's not like it's gonna cost you a lot to give it ago. And you could always sell it on, if you don't like it.

    Generally MMOs come with a starter subscription - 30 days is usual, but it might be 28 days. Or it might be more

    Re: Age of Conan Open Beta - 1st of May

    a review by someone who has played the full version of the game

    My final overall 2 cents on this game:


    Trolls are nowhere to be found with their short sited negative predictions. This goes on many forums like mmorpg, gamefaq, hardforum. Remember few weeks back?

    I'm having more fun than any mmo I've played even my first one.

    They pulled a miracle patch out their asses. Bugs are very few and gaming 2 days now I have not had 1 single crash as opposed to the multiple crashes from beta.

    Gameplay:
    Leveling so far is on par with WoW..it starts to slow down and the soloing gets harder at level 30.

    Not as noob friendly as WoW. There are definite situational style of playstyles you will have to use depending on the type of npc mob.
    Respawn is just plain nasty here and not sure if thats intentional. Some instances a room respawns every minute (think BWL suppression room time rate). But it makes for a more challenging encounters especially when soloing..you can't just auto attack with same repetitive sequences.
    A good example of this is how quiet the chat log is because everyone is so busy when they fight mobs.

    Lots of hidden stuff that I hope is more explained later on like damage mitigation and how attributes dictate this. At the moment there is no way to gauge armor values other than armor type and defensive rating, however there is a definite hidden attribute.

    Money from rewards bugged? In the quest logs I see money amounts detailed but I only have 10 Silver lol after doing so many X amount of quests at level 30.

    In conclusion:
    This game will be good. Not a WoW killer by any means but this type of game I would recommend for the following:

    -sick of WoW

    -Someone with a few friends to level with and likes to pvp constantly.

    -A player that is in between the 'casual' and 'hardcore' mold type. The grinding is not forced on you, however there will be lots to do if you choose it. What I mean by that is there aren't any grinding cock blocks like Bind on Equip, Armor Repair, or my most hated feature 'Kill X amount of Wolves for 10 pelts for a chance drop on the needed quest item bs. A quest says kill wolves for 10 pelts in AoC you get the quest item on every drop.

    Who this game is not for:
    Already having fun with their current mmo.
