Age of Conan

Please Funcom if You going to go through with this idea of Yours, to force ppl to do the instanced bg minigames You have, then create a server with no pvp minigames, take it out of the game on that server type.

Call it: No Grind Server or World PvP Server.

Open up one during your open beta, see what server ppl pick. Perhaps that will give You a hint of how welcome the idea to force ppl into mini game farming is. This also will make Your to be customers who hate this kind of pvp, instanced grinding where certain premade setups will grind it like no tomorrow, a fun game to play where we don't have to be unemployed and in a premade pvp group to manage in pvp.

I put dont matter to me.

If your dont like the mini games then just dont play them. Nones forcing you as far as I know...but i havent played beta.

Doesn't matter to me (and appears it doesn't to most people.) Folks are taking the quote completely out of context or entirely misquoting it so they can rant and rave about something that, in the end, matters very little.

They not forcing anyone to do the pvp minigames, but if the info that is out is correct it seems that ppl who going to be involved in pvp, specially the world pvp also will have to do the instanced pvp minigames. And they are, in all honesty, just Unreal Torney games in a mmo. Guess they put in to please the younger crowd of AoC.

Actually Deridium, the Product Manager for AoC, LordOrion, clarified the subject.

It's ALL PvP that matters towards who gets first shot at a Battle Keep when it's open to attack. Not just Minigames. But everything, open world PvP, bar fighting, everything. That leads me to believe it's based off PvP level. So if Guild A has two members that are PvP level 18, and Guild B has a player with PvP Level 14, guild A gets to go first. Makes sense really.

Thanks for clearing it up friend, problem for me and for many still tho is that we have to do PvP minigames. As from what I read on some places (no facts, just from boards and such) it seems you going to need to be doing pvp minigames to advance in pvp level. And think that is big issue for ppl, as a big crowd of us do not want to play pvpminigames, if we would want that we would play Unreal Tournament :)

Thanks again tho for filling in my blanks mate.

Please give me the source for that conversation. Not saying you are wrong, its just loads of people usually go around spreading misinformation. If it is true, which seems likely. Its great.

No pvp mini games thx. No more CTF wowlike or CS thx.

 Someone who only has the xp of CTF CAN'T LEAD a massive attack. CTF isn't pvp for pvp players (wow is a pve game and has CTF, DAOC is a PVP/RvR game and doesn't have CTF)

CTF is for pve players. even lotro's monster play is more interesting than those... things...

I ve said it once and i ll say it again. No matter how they sugarcoat it , it will still be a grind. You have so many people who ahve little time nowadays. So in order for them to keep up they ll do the quick minigame grind to keep up. Is it bad i don t know but i for one hate grinds. It will come down to the mini game grind no matter how they say it.

Quake 1 CTF/TF was the bomb.  Who said it can't be good on this too?
