Age of Conan

You don't like ganking?

Roll PvE server, it's simple as that...

Reroll CULTURE server or PvE

Rofl, this is hilarious.

Here's what you do, log off the game, delete your account and get back to watching the tweenies, where everyone lives in harmony and no one ganks anyone.

Seriously, this is why I hate WoW, I hate playing with you kids. 'I dont like ganking', ever playd UO? Should try it sometime, first proper MMORPG which was a brilliant succes. You could gank as much as you wanted and it was actually a fun game because it meant it was difficult to stay alive and you didn't have to ask someones permission to kill them.

Yes WoW has sorted ganking but hey, WoW's a shit game for mindless retards?... I'd prefer to play a game that required some level of intellect in order to stay survive i.e. the solution being, make friends, hide or just use your imagination.

If you dont like the nasty-wasty people swinging their meany-weany swords at you and etc. then go back to WoW with the rest of the 5-10 year olds (+ the occasional older retard).

While I don't mind pvp, load killing is beyond cowardly and it can NOT be justified by the "it's a pvp server" line of retardation.

You have no skill, you have no class, and when it happens to you, you'll whine louder than everyone else.

Thus, why I returned my CE    : )

1. WoW has no policy on ganking and its doing very well but what AOC can do is like WoW when in spirit form you can move away from your corpse alot and ressurrect and run away. BUt in WoW i was ganked constantly i didnt whine about it, if you dont like ganking or getting ganked go to a PVE server simple as that. Or play in groups. PVP servers bring the community together in a way PVEers cant understand.

 

 

*blink* Yeah...totally going PVE server.

I'd rather have a community of people who enjoy each other's company than a community that huddles together like scared sheep.

 

Ya know in the hardcore PvP settings (like Shadowbane or the old Zek servers of EQ) some of the closest and most awesome (and friendly!) guilds emerged and I would give anything to go back to "ye olden days" like that again. I think the scared sheep are the people who are fleeing to the PvE servers....they obviously don't have what it takes to muster the counter-attacks on the organized griefers. That's what REALLY makes open PvP work is when guilds and players pull together to help the lowbies and the newcomers and fight off the PK'ers.

For many people, PvP is a feature in a game, not the main focus. To make PvP the main focus is to ignore what the game has to offer. Just because you can kill anyone at any time does not mean you should. I like FFA, because you can deal out justice to those who deserve it (kill stealers, griefers, etc.). However, my time in game doesn't revolve around PvP. What you are talking about is fine for a war game, but AoC is more than that. The lack of rules on the FFA PvP server only hurts the community on that server, not helps it. PvP is supposed to be fun for everyone. When it is not, there is something wrong with the PvP system.

listen.. this is age of conan

this game will seperate the men from the boys, and i must say, stating that ganking happens in the game is quite silly

if you dont want to play like this, go PvE... but FFA is how the game is meant to be played.. if you think getting killed out of the blue is annoying, youve got the wrong game. And if you dont like it being done to you, well paybacks a bitch so go out there and kill who ever kills you until they leave you alone

you need to earn your invulnerability here, the rules will not give it to you.

Yes because in the Conan books and Movies, the characters just weant around killing each other. Sure there was murder, but not nearly on the scale as on FFA PvP servers.

I forgot to mention that I'm an RPer, so PVE servers are out of the question.

Also AoC has had a new type of PvP server added which seems to be cultural based (i.e. race wars)

just my 2 cents

I find this freaking hilarious, i can't believe people are complaining that players in a PVP game are being cheap. The average PVP player is like that, they are the 1st to try and find the hacks to give them an advantage, they quickly find any and all exploits they can use because a "pvp" player, again the average one, is basically a weakling and a bully. They know that without an unfair advantage they will lose and these peoples only enjoyment comes in making others times in the game miserable, they are nothing but sadists and sociopaths.

 

So to answer the question when will the ganking end, when you quit playing AoC

 

What? So the average PvP player is a cheater/exploiter/sadist/sociopath.... Because that makes PERFECT sense!

So because I take an aggressive point of view going into AoC's gameworld, I'm a cheater/exploiter? No, I am just a person who wants to PvP and have fun stalking my prey and ganking them when the time is right... as I did in the beta. I won't hack or exploit, I'll just kill them when I want to... Do you think in the world of Conan there is sympathy? Do you think that people ask if they would like to be killed, and given a choice? Do you think Conan could have arose from nothing and become a King using sympathy? I am a heavy roleplayer and believe that killing out of no where if someone is killing the same mobs as you is necessary.

Yes, because Conan and his crew just went around lopping off everyone's head that they encountered in their travels.
