    Not a chance.

     

    At 75 votes it is a dead tie for Yes/No... guess what, most people that voted 'Yes' are likely people that I would prefer not to be in the game in the first place. 

    The yes'rs are likely people that -

    A)  Are little children that can't get legally in to the game anyhow.

    B)  Are Cheap and just want things handed to them while other people pay the bill.

    C)  Are people that can't afford to spend a mere $50 on a toy and therefore shouldn't be playing with toys anyhow!

    D) etc.

    Regardless your computer system it is only $50.  If this is even a consideration in your budget you should NEVER be playing games.

    If you can't afford to pay, don't want to pay or are just a beggar then please, stay far away from Age of Conan.  The rest of the population will be far better off with you someplace else. 

     

    
    Ok i would want to try the game first.

    So . . .

    A) Not a little child

    B) Yes wow great point, maybe I , don't want to pay $50 for a game that maybe junk (oh and if $50 is not much to you gratz on being , a Rich ass. You know not all of us are. Or, gratz on having no concept of money).

    C) It is not if a person CAN spend $50 but if it is worth spending $50 , See My answer B for things you can do to fix your faulty thought processes.

    D) ETc. What If your not a AoC fanboi then F you? I mean really some of us are not AoC fanbois and its sad that all you want in your game is AOC fanbois, talk about being elitist.

    "If you can't afford to pay, don't want to pay or are just a beggar then please, stay far away from Age of Conan.  The rest of the population will be far better off with you someplace else. "

    Thank for your words of unwisdom.

    If i had a child that thought this way, I would have to spank them for being an ass.

• • Pc Gamer article: First 10 mins of WAR are Abysmal

    Just read a preview in this months Pc Gamer UK and here are a few intersting lines: "Your first 10 minutes in WAr are abysmal. And thats a shame, because there's real potential here. Pur premade character was dumped beside a massive boat on a drab island. There are buzzing fairies ahead, elevn sailors to your left and a path to the right. In front a quest master :" Kill four fairies, Kill six sailors. Go and meet my friend"

    Welcome to the grind, stay here forever"

    The article then goes on the complain about only having two skills at the start making the combat boring!

    However the rest of the article is generally positive, mainly explaining why you should play WAR and so on.

    However it makes me wonder what the previewer was looking for when he was preveiwing an mmo?! Anyways what do you guys think of what i have quoted? Does not concern me too much its what i expect from an mmo!

    Ever heard of Wow, DAOC, EQ, PS for freak sakes. Pretty much starting zone, he doesn't say the game was not fun for reason related to game play but what, i only have like two moves to start with.... And it is called character development.

     

    He is totally , missing that the "grind" in this game really does help your side defeat the other side. Makign it not totally arbitrary.

     

    That being said , the first quests should be hella fun and anyoen not saying so is misguided i believe.

    The first quest should be intensive etc. I think what DAOC has now, but for war it should be a pvp or hostial npc area where you have to fight or RUN through to get to safty of a boat or wagon, Arc, etc that takes you to the starting areas, this would really get people invloved in not only the game but defeating their mortal enemies.

    That and abbaba makes a good point, sometimes its better to underwhelm new players than overwhelm them. Crazy dynamic quests off the bat... possibly confusing. (I disagree but im an experienced gameplayer, and well many are not).

    There's issues with SLI. Try with one card. I run it quite smoothly on HIGH with a 4 ghz e8400 and a 8800GT.

    Average 35 fps. If I remove environmental shadows, its 50+ fps.

    This is a joke right? I mean you just said you NEED THE BEST GAMING RIG OUT THERE TO PLAY THE GAME AT 35 FPS.

    If this was not a joke , you sir have just confirmed that the game is all but unplayable for 90% of mmor'ers and gamers out there. IF it was a joke then its pretty funny.

    the Q6600 it a higher level cpu than the e8400, but slower per core (quad vs duo). ATm with my q6600 (8800gts 512 video card) i can run ,  4 instances of wow (max settings, native 1600x 1050 rez) with 60-90 fps. CS:S @ 240-300(max) fps, highest settings lotro with no lag at all, bioshock high (i forget the fps it was high tho), eve in battles at 120-200. All of that and ... 35 fps in AoC? i mean come on. I don't know if this guy is right but the graphics are not that good for it to be takign so many resources... hopefully they will optimize better, but most of it will have to be after release.

     Now i am not saying that is true , i am just responding to Praxus here.

    Honestly i think AoC looks a ton like a redone daoc and this does make me want to try it out. (liek the characters and movement , fighting etc)
