    Yah this screenshot is from the tutorial which is instanced (aka single player game mode). Once you get to Tortage city you get to meet other players during daytime mode and instanced during night time mode. After making lvl 20 or so you will get thrust into the "real" conan world which is multiplayer all the time.

• • Poll: You played beta, are you cancelling your pre-order?

  • I haven't decided yet but i'm kinda leaning toward getting it. I'm not used to the "semi-twitch" combat system yet and it does feel awkward a bit for me (I'm not a huge fan of twitch game) but if I play a spell caster then it won't really matter as spell casting isn't too twitchy I hope. I want to play the open beta till it ends before deciding.

  • How the game looks with Nvidia 9600 GT SLi mode @ 1360 x 768 (widescreen) with 2x AA at high resolution mode. Frame rate: 48-62 fps. Sometimes for some reason the FPS rate would dip down to like 16 fps but I think it's a bug.

• • Very disappointed in this game

  • Played about 10 hours so far and made 2 characters...

    My hardware/OS specs:
    Intel Core Duo CPU E 6850 @ 3.00 GHZ (2 CPU)
    2 GB RAM
    Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT x 2 SLI mode 512 VRAM
    Resolution:  1360 x 768 (Widescreen) @ 32 bit mode
    7200 RPM hard drive
    Windows XP SP2

    MAJOR PRO of the game:
    - Fantastic graphics and breath taking scenery.
    - Awesome well crafted storyline
    - Excellent voice overs and almost every important NPCs are fully voice-overed.
    - Intuitive controls (the UI is pretty standard on what you would expect from an MMO)
    
    MAJOR CON of the game:
    - Okay I got a Geforce 9600 GT  in SLi mode.. why is the graphics lagging ? On some places in the game I would run at full 62 fps but on some place the FPS would suddenly spike down to 16fps ??? And this isn't just an isolated incident.. it would happen randomly whenever I load into a new area (shared world or instanced).

    - Random disconnects. Hmm for some reason I would randomly get boot out from the game and when I logged back in I would be placed randomly around a map and the instance where I am in would be fully respawned. I guess there's still some bugs around the instancing.

    - Long loading times. Okay got dual core cpus at 3 ghz with a 7200 rpm hard drive.. why does it take like 3 to 5 mins to load an area @_@. Imagine if someone has a minimum spec computer probably take them 10 mins to load an area.
    
    Combat system feels new but it takes time to get used to it. I suppose this new "semi-twitch" based combat system would be liked by some people while some would hate it. Personally I'm concerned about the long term effects of the carpal tunnel syndrome that might occur due to repeatitive mashing of the attack buttons. I could see some tactical advantage of using combos and attacking an opponent's vulnerabilities side but the effect is negligible if you're a caster.

    I could say the game is pretty well polished and beautiful compared to others in this beta stage. I haven't experienced any crash bugs yet.

• • Diablo 3 to be announced on May 1st ?

  • "The Veiled Prophet continues Uldyssian's journey toward Kehjan City where his goal is to seek the Mage Clans as allies against Inarius and his Cathedral of Light. The book lays the ground for upcoming Diablo games and novels. "

    Hmm..... this proves that another diablo game is coming out, I mean why throw away such a great franchise.
