Age of Conan

I love this genre but guess be a waste of money for me because i frankly suck at fps shooters or any type of pvp style fighting. I have limited movement in my hands so real hard to push alot of keys at once.

Would be nice if had a class or 2 that wasnt reliant on uber button smashing to be at least useful in the game. Is there any place in the game for me that loves the stories of Conan, the surroundings, and the scale of this but is limited in ability physically to push alot of keys fast?   Thanks for any information.

If you're comfortable with the current MMO implementation, you'll find classes that play in a way you're already familiar with.

I would suggest you pick a caster class since (from what I've seen, correct me if I'm wrong) they require the least of button bashing compared to the melee classes since melee needs direction most of all.

Also the game isn't all about huge battles and such. The devs found it important that the player can explore all of Hyboria and made sure there are enough opportunities to do so. So I recommend you at least try to play the game. There is so much more in it than PvP, it's a complete experience.

But this is coming from someone who can't wait to play the game and has nothing but good things to say about AoC in general.

I would also like to say that try a caster class. And you can solo the entire game to top lvl (I think it was right) and group. And if your a caster in a group you can mostly stand still while casting spells. But solo you need to run around a little more to get away from melee. But you can then also try out how it works for you and the combat system. So a caster would be a good pick I think, fire magics while standing still, and maybe try out the combat system from time to time when enemies are almost dead.

But its up to you. But when seeking for a class who dont use alot of keys t once, mage-classes is probably the only ones with the fewest keys used at once.

Well decided the to pre order, read the wiki and frankly cant pass up a chance to play this even  if i die alot heh.

Thanks for the advice. i will be reading the caster classes with interest...

Since they are talking about porting this game over to the xbox have you perhaps looked into using a controller instead of a keyboard or mouse.

No offense, but there are a million and one point and click mmorpgs on the market. If you have difficulty playing games which require a lot of hand movement, then you should try one of them.

It's unfortunate that Conan isn't going to work out for you, but I highly doubt they would change play mechanics because a few people have disabilities.

I mean, the whole selling point of Conan is the new combat system.

a friend of mine has only part of one hand (since birth) and he gets along great in other games as a healer.

you know this was the first thing that came to my find when i was thinking about a mmo with active combat. I think that you will be ok with any of the caster classes and probably the ranger class, which although can shoot like a fps will have a fairly strong active lockon system and can be played (at your option, interchangably) as a third person shooter. I think that you will have a lot of fun while mounted because things aren't nearly as hairy, all you have to do is run by a person and press a single button to attack. Rangers can only shoot in three directions while mounted as to handicap their ability to shoot-run-shoot-run-shoot, which I think is an unfortunate but necessary handicap. With that in mind your limited hand movement shouldn't come off as apparant while playing a caster or mounted ranger. may I also suggest that you get yourself a mammoth as a mount because you do not actively fight (you're way too high) and the mammoth then fights while you cast spells/shoot. and before someone says anything about that being broken, if the mammoth dies the player also dies when it falls down so cool your jets. To get the mammoth just go pre order the game at a gamestop
