There are roles in Conan but they are more flexible. Healers are supposed to heal over time and DPS A lot of the DPS classes like the Herald of Xotli and such can also off tank as well as DPS, and the Guardian can do decent DPS as well as tank. There is a loading screen between areas The average large zone is a few kilometers per side I believe.

Your company has stated they will be instanced which is great IMO. How many player cities will there be in your particular instance?. Will we be able to choose who we have in our instances?. How is this system going to be handled? (I'm looking for a lot of details here lol :) ) Thanx, Hozer...

I recall someone vaguely mentioned about being able to have cities in the same zone/same instance... though it was vague... and a while ago... These are the people that first brought you instancing though, so I expect it done right... Of all that is written, I love only what a person has written with his own blood. -Nietzsche

Originally posted by snoopz20 Looked through thread and some other active topics, AoC site wasn't very helpful. My question is to anyone who would know, are NPC's static? or do they roam about the day going about there tasks such as delivering the daily supply of grain to town X? Maybe a mix, if so can you kill npc's out of town and steal there goods? such as a wandering trader with some bodyguards? I think many static npc's and npc's with just a set walk path and no sense of task takes a lot away from the immersion of a game and i hope this isnt the case in AoC. The AoC site wasnt very helpful? 14.8 How intelligent are the computer-controlled characters in the game world? Our artificial intelligence is extremely elaborate, and many of the inhabitants of Hyboria react according to a need-based AI system. Computer-controlled characters in online games have often been nothing but static robots standing around, but in Age of Conan we have tried to bring them more to life and make their presence meaningful. This is also true for the monsters of the world, who will fight you in an intelligent manner, should we wish them to. 14.9 What is the needs system the artificial intelligence operates against? The need system in Conan artificial intelligence is loosely based around famous American psychologist Abraham Maslow's pyramid of needs. In Age of Conan we have a computer-controlled artificial intelligence which categorizes several distinct needs – like eating, sleeping and surviving. Each of the levels of our pyramid contains a steady growth in need, and the AI will make sure they are fulfilled accordingly where we want it to. So at the night, an NPC may grow tired and close up his shop, and might walk home. On his way home he might be attacked, the need to survive will be kicked into high-gear, letting him defend himself. And so on. Linkage That was direct from the FAQ on the AoC site. MMO Blues-Confessions and Adventures of a burnt out MMO enthusiast.

How will we enter our Player cities?, also will we be able to choose who is in our players cities?. Last but not least will we be able to attack other players running around in our instances?.

I suppose you're referring to his clothing, or lack thereof? Because I saw the video the other day, with the "my lord" battle, that was Conan wasn't it? He looked so Arnie, seriously.

"You must be either retarded or a fanboi..."

Arnie isnt the point but whenever I think of Conan i think of the movies with the epic fights and the music so it would be sweet if they made him look like that in the game also Conan i so uber he dosent need armor!
Aljen Novice Member Joined: 6/18/07 Posts: 3	6/22/07 4:21:19 AM#216 Report this post Explain why you are reporting this post: (750 characters max.) 1. AI: Are monsters in general areas (non guild-cities instances) able to do something better then standing on their spawn spot (until killed)? Roaming, building a small camp - forming hunting parties etc. At least some higher form of AI - not like in other MMOs. Do they posses some group intelligence to be able to cooperate together in fights? And can they react when they see as PCs are fighting with their comrades (sniping from afar - pulling) 2. Potions: What do you mean that potions are stackable? Is there any potion drinking animation (please say yes :) ) which is interruptible with successful attacks (drinking potions in the middle of combat is I think absurd)? 3. When you are in a guild, can you decide which of your many alts prestige classes will add its bonus to guild? Can your alts be members of different guilds?

I am not sure about alts, prestige classes, and restrictions. Conan will look as he did in the books/comics not the movie. Arnie doesn't really look like Conan (wrong color hair and eyes) We have some monsters who are normal and a lot who are in camps where they patrol, and sit around and talk to eachother then go take a leak in the woods or get some more wood for the fire build things etc
