Age of Conan

Fuck dude. I have been trying to get into the beta for months. Lucky fucker... I am really looking forward to this game for sure. Keep me updated

The new beard throws me off.

stop your thread killing posts

I applied for beta testing long time ago, but, nooooo! Goona be fun playing it when it is released! Until then I will stick to counter strike

Will that be released on any consoles, or PC only?

It is a large scale MMORPG so PC only... there are other Conan titles out there for consoles.. this is Conan Online basically.. and they are truly sticking with the Conan Lore, where pretty much "Anything goes". You are actually worshipped as a God if you are a good thief, slaying someone for a cause that is greater is OK, hehe punching a camel in the nose is OK

And you need one hell of a system to run it..
My now getting older e6600 dual 7950's just get by, time for a new rig

Conan looks good, but I think Warhammer Online will be a tad better. At first there was going to be no PVP on Conan, not sure if that's still true.

There is many types of action in Conan, i've yet to experience any though.

The rumor of no PvP is false. I am under a NDA so I can't say nothing about the game but there is public knowledge there is PVP, castle/fort siege wars, and bar fighting. both NPC and PvP

Thread killing posts? You realize Conan O'Brien has a huge late night show here in the U.S right? When you say Conan people from the U.S. think of 2 people.

Conan O'Brien

and

Conan the Barbarian.

good for him

back to Age of Conan discussion

Age of Conan: Hyborian Online will also be released for Xbox360 Sep 08.

Ya, I'm gonna wait for the 360 version. Been waiting for a good MMORPG for the 360.

something tells me a MS 720 is coming out because no way the 360 is going to handle this title without being seriously chopped hehe.. MS is also a big part of this release and I always wondered why are they hyping it so much??

made by norwegians... should be good!

Rendezvous with anus!

not one other loaner got beta access? :/

Dude, i'd give your left ball to get access to the beta. Fuck, i so want to play this game! Can't wait till march. How is it?

I really like the questing so far, it's not so dumb as run here done, run here done, like these lame mmorpg's (tabula rasa, hellgate london) actually enjoying the storyline and doing the quests... And so far the difficulty is great.. It's not gay, whereas if you are simply outnumbered you lose... It's more like if you do something stupid you die, if you try to be a hero you die. If you turn the wrong corner you die... Go down the wrong alley you die.

So basically what I am saying is you control your fate, not the game sending endless mobs. You Get a real feeling you are in a cutthroat world.. ok nuff said.. NDA sorry

Sounds good. How are the graphics. I only seen compressed vids but i didn't consider them better than some of the newer games atm. I really like the atmosphere the games though and althought the graphics look very nice i wasnt really that impressed looking at the preview vids.

How are the graphics compared to this:

I've only been in the first city, and I know what you see/feel.. But the potential is there and I believe it all came down to lighting, you get near light and the colors really start popping out and of course some zones are meant to be a little more desolate than others so only exploring will tell.. This first city is probably trying to capture that moreso "poor" feeling.

heh Lord of the Rings is definately eye candy.. Conan is of a completely different lore though as well as time... But that's not to say it dont have the same potential, it does have all the rolling hills and that type of (multi-level) engine

One thing I do know is i having more fun "playing" Conan then LOTR, I mean how many spiders can you kill before you go nutso? I got sick of Lotr hitting level 30 on one toon. Couldnt take no more of the same-ole same-ole and quests were boring as could be.

Game was designed purely for family/kids

Does the man himself make an appearance in the game?

read something somewhere, a few lucky winners will get to meet the King in game... Not sure what he will look like or what else goes on with that, only time will tell....

Can you punch a camel?

Havent seen one yet, but i think you can not only punch it, but stick a dagger in it, or set it on fire
