ZeroEdge said:They sent that out to a lot of people today. I think it was a bonus for having been signed up with their old forums (which if I'm not mistaken you had to do way back in the day when they first started taking application's for closed Beta), at least that's what I have heard anyway. I was glad though because I put the code in today when I filled in my registration info for AOC as I was able to finally get my copy yay

PeteJ said:Does this game feel a lot like LOTRs other than the more active melee system? I did enjoy that for a couple of months (and likewise WoW) but both games became extremely tedious after a while (doing the same thing at level 50 as you do at level 10, but with higher numbers, etc).
I figure this is just how MMOs work but I just hope Conan can deliver something a bit more...interesting.

How do the PVP rules work?f@luS said:almost 26 so far, i LOVE my assassin.
If i am "invisible" i win every 1v1 against same level or +1. IF i dont win, they run.
But if im not invisible, im dead meat you dont have any vanish or stuff like that... (i use water to get out of the fight )
i have like 350kill and 80death.
Seriously , the combo system is incredible with the asasssin. I havent tried the other (just a lvl 6 demo )
But having so many combos is a blast. AGainst some opponent i go for a poison combo or some other i go with a "less damage effect" combo, i sometimes need to do 2 or 3 different etc...that rox

In essence, the Dark Templar is an evil fighter. By drawing upon these powers rooted in death and darkness, they are able to stand at the forefront of battles and take punishment that may have crippled a fighter of more ordinary skill. Whereas other members of the soldier archetype usually believe more in the importance of tactical fighting styles and the mastery of weapons in order to survive a fight, the Dark Templar has no qualms about tapping into dark, supernatural powers in order to secure victory for him and his team.
...
Most probably inspired by the nature of the dark forces of this world (and beyond), the Dark Templar is also quite a sadist. Whenever members of his own group his own companions suffer in combat, the Dark Templar will himself gain power. When others are inflicted with pain, he will receive bonuses to his abilities making him more potent!
Still, the Dark Templar is a good adventuring partner to have for any group traveling the expanses of Hyboria and who faces the challenges this dangerous world provides. If you can manage to look past his dubious ways, having a member on the team with affinity for the dark side can be a valuable thing. For instance, the Dark Templars 'Martyrdom' ability will actually heal his companions while also damaging himself.

Can you be attacked ANYWHERE outside of major cities?
Consent needed or no?
Any penalty for killing too much (i.e. being Red in Ultima Online)?
etc. etc.

Ferrio said:-On a PvP server yes.
-On a PvP-RP server the pvper is suppose to have a reason. Camping is considered griefing on this server and can be punished.
-On a PvE no world pvp.
All servers have their pvp games and seige stuff, which is like WoW's battlegrounds.
Masta_Killah said:If you guys roll pvp, be prepared for spawn camping. Its a bit out of hand atm. I was camped yesterday for 30 min until my guild members showed up and put an end to it. Also, try to do quest in groups as itll give you a fighting chance. And if you see any Ranger in the area(at least <lvl 30), run away. Atm they are waaayy OP. I get 1 shotted by them(ToS) and since they can stealth(stealth detection skill is sorta messed up and doesn't work too well), detecting them is near impossible since they break out of stealth at range. Had Guardian classes(heavy plate armor tanks) telling me they were getting two shotted by Rangers as well.
jestro said:So what's the consensus PvP or PvE servers?
drizzle said:Deppends if you are a pussy or not.
On the "Culture PVP" servers, grouped people can attack anyone, regardless of race, afaik (which renders the entire ruleset rather pointless, imo).drizzle said:Which means it will suck, because if you're both Stygyan and you team up with a friend that chose to go Achellonian, and the other stygyan people decide to attack your acheloninan friend, there's nothing you can do about it.

[url]http://forums-us.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=6613[/url] said:2.) Server types
2-a.) PvE (Player versus Environment)
This server type is primarily cooperatively designed. You can quest solo or with a team without fear of of being attacked by other players. PvP does exist in the forms of duels and PvP minigames. Carebears should be directed here at each opportunity. _This_ is the server you go to for PvP, purely by definition. Here you can carefully arrange one-on-one matches to your heart's content, and have maximum control over how and when you do PvP.
2-b.) PvP Social (Player versus Player, realm-style)
PvP is only enabled in public areas for the three separate races. If you are teamed with a mix of races, be warned: They may be attacked, and you may not be able to protect or assist them if the attacker shares your specific race. This may change in the future. PK oriented, but realm-level PvP available as well. Interesting mix.
2-c.) PvP FFA (Player versus Player, Free-for-all. The only current choice leaning towards a hardcore rule set)
If you want to PvP, do not come to this server. Seriously. This server isn't about standard PvP, it's all about Pk and severe difficulty. Join one of these servers only if you're looking for the maximum level of difficulty possible. Do not come to FFA if you want to become a level 80 with top-notch gear as soon as possible. Do not come if you just want to "pwn nubs", as this will likely see you perma-spawncamped and being beaten to obliteration. DO come if you are a bodycount, griefer, spawnkiller, or trophy hunter. PK here flourishes.
...
4.) The epic myth of the theory of "Fairness" on a FFA server.
4-a.) Allow me to be perfectly blunt, here. No matter what you do, someone out there already thought of it, and a very good way to counter it. You WILL encounter people who seem to have an almost magical ability to take everything you have to throw at them, laugh as you do it, then quickly respond by annihilating you so badly that your first response will be to curl up in the fetal position. We've all been there. You will too, without exception. Also, there will be times where multiple people will all attack you, and they will be higher level than you and have better gear. You will also be killed, many times, at various spawn points where it seems impossible to escape. There *are* ways of getting out. (stealthing at the right time, calling backup, know a good trophy hunter, ect.) If you go on a FFA server expecting the elusive fairness fairy to follow you Link-style, you're going to be branded a Carebear and be soundly disappointed. The point of a FFA server isn't to become a god-like badass. It will never happen. The point of a FFA server is to say to the world, "Even with massive adversary, challenges, and a near zero survival rate, I thrived and held my own."
Kodiak said:what the hell?
I registered my key, and made an account but when I try to log into the game it fails authentication.
I can log in to manage my account but I can't play the game I'm paying for, thanks Funcom!
Ferrio said:23rd for Europe. That was a mess up I believe on the US copies.
drizzle said:It's not that bad. From what i gathered in the Beta, there's always guards near the city spawns (where most spawn camping would happen).
Also, EVERY Class in conan can Hide. Not from level 1, but you get the skill eventually. Only 20 in Hide already allows you to hide pretty much everywhere. That's what you need to do if you're getting spawn raped: just hide and go away.
Also, there's a protection aura in the works. You will gain it when you respawn, so people attacking you will get massive damage on themselves.
While rangers are a little overpowered (i am a ranger and i got ganked lots of times already), they're not that killing machine everybody talks about.
Assassins are the really retarded ones. Not only they are 100% in stealth mode, they get a huge chunk of your life when they attack from stealth. Not only that, as soon as they hit 1/4 health, they just walk away and hide back in. I always go after them when i see them PvPing around.
Also, if you're getting camped to death, just change instances.
Deppends if you are a pussy or not.
Masta_Killah said:They rolled back the patch that had the respawn buff, so atm there is no buff when you respawn(might have changed if they patched it since yesterday). Hiding only works if you can get out of sight from your captures(might be different for you since your a rouge class). You can't hide right when you spawn. Also, you can attack and kill people in the cities. Guards do not attack gankers like they do in WoW.
Don't feel guilty, I wasn't able to get the CE. I was a couple mins too late when I went to BB. If it weren't for my son being so sick and throwing up in the car and me having to stop to clean him up, I would have had it. But don't let that add to your guilt, you should be happy that you were able to get those CEs.Broadbandito said:I feel like an asshole, I found 4 collector editions at best buy and bought them up. Selling them on ebay now and might keep one for myself. I will be getting on the game next week sometime

Actually I picked up two copies of the CE from BB, I didn't have the heart to buy all five like you. I am reselling one on eBay and will decide what I do with the second one this weekend. The regular one is $40 at CC and I have a $10 gift card, so that is definitely tempting me as well.
