Age of Conan

I am playing AoC till I get bored of it. I certainly would be buying and playing Lich king and that would apply whatever game comes out in between. When I get bored of that that, I will go switching again. Its the beauty of the subscription model.

Why does everyone say you need such a high end PC?

I only have a 5600+x2 , 2g ram, 7950gt 256mb and it runs fine on my pc.... 

On medium, i have cities 7-25fps anything outside of the cities i'm getting 25-60fps.  I don't see what the fuss is,  my pc probably is considered "decent" and not really anywhere near high end.  Try messing with a few settings, especially turning shadows to players only I got around 20fps.  On average i would say i have 40fps.  I can't understand why anyone with an 8800 complains, I wish i had your card lol.

Maybe some people will tell me because they can't play on high settings, but if they made the graphics crappy like wow so you could run it on high settings then isn't that the equivelant even lower than low settings on AoC :S.  I think the game looks absojlutely gorgeous even on my med settings with little options if any.

But then again i guess i do not see ultra low settings which would be nice, so if that is what you're referring to i agree... I have a friend who'd consider playing but he can't whatsoever on his ancient beast. a Athlon XP 2500+ with a radeon 9800 pro lol.

I play every new MMORPG being published in these last years.

And Conan is one of the worst published MMORPG of them all.

Sure the first 20 levels LOOK polished, but even from the first screens you see  very unpolished elements underneath, IF you come from Wow that is.

Seen those items in your bag in Conan ? Are they designed by a 11 year old ? Framedrops and combat lag added with complete idiotic stats on items. But the copies of copies of instances were the coup de grace.

You must be completely out of your mind if you are an active Wow player to give up your characters for AoConan.

In fact I encourage Wow players to try out Conan. I can't imagine a better publicity for playing Wow after that.

You can play the beta!  I have also, ran all over the Northrend continent that was available!  The Friends and Family Alphs was leaked like 2 weeks ago and there is one private server that has it running!  There is nothing there but landscape, no mobs or NPCs except a few near the start for gear and mounts, so its mainly just alot of players PvP with each other.

 

...and yeah its WoW all over again, just much much larger than BC!  I will not be playing it either but I didn't mind taking a look at its progress!

There is no beta, WotLK is not even out of Alpha.

A private server with some other kids walking in a terrain thats supposed to be Northrend.

God ! Please subscribe to Conan and don't come to Northrend....

this is definatly the major problem with conan . funcom overshot what the average computer was capable of by about 1-2 years . mid range pcs struggle with conan even on lower settings ( mid range meaning pentium dc 2.5-3.5 ghz 8600-8800 cards 2-4 gb ram ) . the home pc needs to catch up with conan and unfortunatly its not a game that will hold the majority of peoples interest longterm

Im running with an 8500 GT and I get aroung 25-40 FPS. It runs fine for me. Rarely gets below 10.

For me, WotLK was partly what caused me to quit the game. The expansion doesn't show anything to me than a backwards decline. WoW reached it's climax at the period of time right before BC came out. Since then it's been slowly declining... not that it's going to die anytime soon, but it's not going to really get much better (maybe in subscriptions, but not in the actual game). It's slowly killing itself with these expansions.

For others, it's a simple answer. WoW is like Ramen noodles; everyone has them, everyone uses them, everyone doesn't love them but they're decent enough, and they're cheap and easy to come by. WoW is owned by almost every MMORPG player, or at least the trial was used... it's the most popular MMORPG by a tenfold of any other game out now. It's not the greatest game but it's efficient, and doesn't require much on your part. You could play the game on a ten-year old computer with ease and little issues.

AoC appeals to a small crowd of gamers, it isn't trying to appeal to everyone's tastes. Not everyone will try this game for that reason along with the fact that this game has the most system reqs. to ever come out for an MMORPG. It's a fantastic game but only to a certain few that the audience appeals to. Your computer needs to be pretty decent (two years old or so) to be enjoyed at the level that it should be enjoyed.

lol view distance thing is more then 2000 meter its a litlle morethen a mile hell 200 m would be enough in most game lol can you image the amount of data that generate and you will never notice it cause 2000m in game is too small to be viewed lol waste of ressource,i put mine at 200 m ands enough

I gave up my WoW account to play Age of Conan.  I also haven't been testing WAR that much lately because I am too busy having fun in Age of Conan. 

World of Warcraft has run it's lifespan in my opinion.  Even if Blizzard paid me I wouldn't go back.  It is mind numbingly boring now to play the game.  I have found the content after BWL to be pretty boring. 

Anyone that is continuing to play World of Warcraft either is too addicted to see how boring the game is, a new player who hasn't burnt out on the repitiveness of the game, or World of Warcraft is their first MMO and so they don't know any better. 

There is no idiotic stats on items.  Age of Conan currently isn't a gear centric game.  You know there are more games that have been released that aren't gear centric then ones that are.  Just to name a few:

Gear Centric games:

World of Warcraft

Everquest 1

Everquest 2

Non Gear Centric games:

Asheron's Call 1

City Of Heroes

City Of Villians

Guild Wars

Lord of the Rings Online

Age Of Conan

Dark Age of Camelot

Ultima Online

I would rather not have an idiotic gear grind to get gear I am going to replace with the next expansion.  Why raid when I can replace my Epic gear with Greens around level 72?  Their whole system makes no sense.  And more and more people are getting tired of it and are getting burnt out by it.  Diablo's loot system worked great for Diablo.  It works great when random mobs can drop great gear.  It is horrible in a raid centric game.  Oh lets run another 20 times before the item I wants even drops and then oh I don't have enough DKP because the other guy was waiting for that item as well.  Guess I will have to wait another 20 raids to see it.  Oh wow I got my great item.  Well I guess it will be fun to use until I get this green that replaces it in a couple of levels. 

no your right now wow is just the ruler to see if the game is cool

and honestly rohan and holic are as good as aoc but with one major for rohand ,holic

THEY ARE F2P
