• • Age of Gank

  • As I  said before, PvP with concequences and reason is great, what do I mean by this?

    1. You should be able to be psychotic murderer (which really is what these gankers are), but they should pay for it, going around murdering innocents/randomly should make you an outcast in the world.

    2. PvP has to make sense in the setting, even in Conan which is a very violent setting there are social rules of behaviour. If they made the PvP ruleset follow along the lines of the lore then it would be great.

    3. Yesterday (which I did not play) was hardly a representation of how PvP will be at launch, how that plays out is yet to be seen.

• • [ POLL ] What kind of AoC player are you?

  • I'm a carebear, mostly due to time constraints. Everything takes a longer time to achieve when getting killed all the time and with a full time job and young children you sort of want all the gaming time you get to actually be gaming time, not recovering from death time!

    Anyway, if Funcom would just provide an RP-PvE server they could very well cater to most peoples tastes.

    Basically

    AOC caters either to: Gankers or to Carebears

     

    What about people that want meaningful PVP ?

     

    
    Oh please.

     

    So you disregard one group ("carebears") and elevate yourself (?) above them but complain that ganking is not "meaningful" pvp.

    Some would say that it "is" meaningful as it makes sure you surround yourself with allies and are always prepared. Some would also say that if you don't like full on FFA pvp the you are a bit carebear, no? That that is the REAL pvp.

    And meaningful? I've yet to see a person define that to my satisfaction, as what has meaning to one person might be off the mark for another.

    Listen, I'm sorry that you don't like the Conan ruleset but it seems that it just takes one extreme or another. Perhaps players can then pick and find something that they find meaningful themselves.

    edit: so here's a good example. I walk into a bar (hmmm seems like the start of a joke?) and suddenly someone starts hitting me with arrows. Now, at this time I'm not familiar with my new lvl 20 character so I run out to better learn what I'm about. Then I go in and that person is not to be seen. Another guy comes in, we start talking and suddnely someone uncloaks next to him and surprise attacks him.

    Well, I'm not about to let that happen so I attack his attacker. The attacker goes down.

    Teamwork. and with someone who I don't really know.

    Now this is not to say that I'm going to be signing on to the whole FFA server thing as I already play one FFA game. That is enough for me.

    But it doesn't make it any less meaningful and could be exciting. I really bet it will. However, it isn't for everyone sure. But it shouldn't lessen the people who want it.

    I will tell you what  I would find to be meaningful pvp regarding your own bar example. I think the best pvp system to be a free for all pvp but with meaningful reactions from the society as a whole, which must include npc reactions in online worlds as they are built today.

    In your example this would probably mean that yes someone can shoot you full of arrows, but the city guards or even the bar owner would most likely take the shooter out pretty quick. Consequences of ones actions - that is what would make a great pvp system. Just playing a psychotic murderer should be hard!

    I have yet to play Conan and I am a bit of a carebear myself so I will play on a pve server, even if I wish they could have an rp-pve server.

• • Will Conan run for me?

  •  

    Ok, I understand I don't have the best of computers but will Conan run decently on low settings? And which of my computers would do it the best?

    Number1:

    CPU: Amd 3500+, 2gb ram, 7800gt 256mb; resolution 1280x1024, windows xp

    or

    number2:

    a laptop with:

    CPU: Core2duo 2,16ghz (T7700 I believe), 4gb ram, 7950gtx mobile 512mb, windows vista (32 bit, I know I can't use all my ram), resolution - can get it very high but will probably try to run the game on 1400x900

• • Rank the 12 classes please

  • But I would like to know a little about the feel of different classes, maybe that is easier to answer? Any takers?
