Age of Conan

For people that didnt play in PVP mayhem OB.

Here is what happened: AOC just became new definition for word GANK

People are ganked moment they exit the city door. There is a minute where you can not move because the game is HD file swapping. Than you are sent to respawn point , where another gank squad is waiting.

Now if you manage to escape spawn point death lock. You go into the world.

You try to talk with quest givers. It locks you into dialogue animation. The place is gank camped - dead !

You try to do a quest. Fight a mob...there is camping ranger waiting that your health and stamina falls. Gank!

Coupled with FPS problems , stalling and precaching of shaders. That some people had , and others didnt (and took advantage of)

Now add to this a fact that any high level can come and kill low levels, anytime....

AOC really elevated word gank to whole new hights!

Now...here is the problem

We all love PVP

But AOC gives you two server rule sets:

1. FFA PVP - That as we seen in OB is PERFECT for gankers. Actually it looks like it was carefully constructed to give every possible advantage to griefing and ganking.

2. No PVP at all - Only in one area + pvp minigames

Basically

AOC caters either to: Gankers or to Carebears

What about people that want meaningful PVP ?

This was a 1-2 day "FFA PvP Close of Beta Event". This was designed to be a Gank Fest. The release will not be the same.

I don't think the main game is going to be like that. What they did was make everyone a enemy to each other. Wouldn't it be the different races against each other. Not 100% positive on that but I hope it is like that or I am not going to play on the PvP servers.

If we protest more maybe funcom will do something about it.. and I seriously think they will... man I almost said Blizzard instead of funcom.

I like the idea of opening the PvP rules up to ganking. It forces the players to police themselves.

Agreed!

I Could not even go out and do one quest without beign ganked over and over agian. I was soo stoked on being lvl 20 to see what the game was really like, but i could not even play cuz of the ganking. Well i guess i will Jus have to wait till it goes live to play on an PvE server

More guild Vs guild mate, no race Vs race here.

I guess I will be playing on the PvP server also.Hope we will be able to get more adult gamers to join us  for the guild at AGE.

Zoning, griefing and graveyard camping will be a problem on a levelbased game. There are some quests that has limited resouces and there it's easier to kill the other guy than wait for respawn :)

Thus roll PvE or be prepared to level in a group or (at a later stage) being escorted by a 80.

Can I have all of your stuff?
