Fendrel. Wrong section. This should be in General or something as it's a P2P MMORPG.

Also, PvE Guild in a PvP Game = FAIL

Its a PVP game with PVE , so and we go for the PVE content of the game, nothing wrong with that

Just to clear this up, to let others know as well as you. This section was originally intended for just "free to play mmorpg's" but since the Pay to play section died and they took that section out, they allow Pay to play game discussions to happen here in th F2P section.

So he is in the right section. :)

No problem, I try to help clear any misunderstandings, normally I get flamed and called "mod wanna be" but its all good...

On topic though, I have a reserved copy for the day AoC is released. I'm stoked, May is around the corner! :D

Sweet, thanks for informing us!


How about you don't post if you have nothing relevant to say.


I'll keep your guild in mind if I like the game at release.

I hate to break your hearts! AoC is a PvE game with PvP in it. AoC is a raiding mmo, you will see much of World of Warcraft and Guild Wars in game. PvP in AoC has alot of restrictions.

Do you think that they would make a hardcore, open PvP game with so many Conan fans that have read the comics and seen all the movies? The answer is no, there will be to many Conan fans playing that cant handle real PvP. Im sry, to cut the head off another player dont make a game hardcore.

Flame me all you like, when you do get in game.... remember what I said!

I like a nice mix of pve and pvp. When I get sick of all the freaking yahoos in pvp I like to have the option of going into a dungeon or something just to make my mind off it.

Well i've got to say that this is the first forum where i get normal feedback on my thread. Alot of emo kids responding stuff like how can you raid the endgame it isn't out yet etc etc...well already thank you for your replies and the persons that are keeping the guild in mind, i hope to see an apply then in the last 2 months before the game is out. and indeed M-gear the game is exactly what you say :)

Fine fine, let the P2P promotion crap stay in here if you like.
AOC is gonna fail worse than Vanguard anyways. Later.

Replicant, really why are you so harsh towards that game?

Vanguard + SOE = FAIL
Vanguard + (Random Company) = WIN

Goes for all SOE

Vanguard was fail before SOE got involved, if you knew what was going behind the scenes with Vanguard you'd understand that SOE saved their stupid asses.

As for AoC... PvE or PvP, in the end I believe it will be more of a PvP game as there is more PvP content you can partake in than PvE content.

And regretably, posting on this forum for members in a game that requires a powerful PC will most likely generate next to no members.

The endgame will be more PVE then PVP tbh, as is announced not by me but by the game developers itself.

I actually talk to most of the developers on a daily basis. So, I think I know what I'm talking about.

Replicant, really why are you so harsh towards that game?Mainly, because it's a gimmick game with horrible choice for a setting. The Conan world doesn't do well for an MMORPG setting with any uniqueness at all. It's regurgitated and misaligned stories from celtic, germanic, and greek myths. The same ol' crap we've already got in a hundred other games. Hell, Robert E. Howard killed himself 72 years ago and most of the stories and fiction people associate with Conan wasn't done by him, but by a slew of bandwagon writers looking to turn a dime.

Then you factor in Funcom and their failings in the MMORPG market place. Anarchy Online was horrible in beta and horrible at retail launch. We told them this and they didn't listen, so the buzz and fans got screwed. It wasn't until Shadowlands (2 expansions later) that the game became playable and a very solid product. Unfortunately, it's too late and that counts the upcoming Unreal 3 engine overhaul for AO. Too little, too late.

If you've seen AOC in action you'd know that it is very poor in it's current state. Yes, it's beta, things will be fixed, blah blah... It lacks polish and the combat is cumbersome to say the least. On the positive the world looks good and the potential it has in game mechanics could redefine future games in the industry. However, the counterintuitive controls and ho-hum setting are just going to let it fall by the wayside. The gore factor can only take it so far and mainstream audiences are not going to like the controls, so it will be a niche game which means an unstable future. Then factor that they are going to be trying to support 3 MMORPG's in the future... Uh Yeah, Fail.

I'm hoping that Funcom learns from the failings of AO and AOC to make a quality product with their next MMORPG "The Secret World" which actually seems refreshing and unique.

Support AOC if you want to and more power to you if you enjoy it. I just see it as a waste of money and time.

I do agree with replicant. Nothing about it screams original or new. The stories, the enviroment, and the features all have been done. The combat system is not new either. Its been featured in a few singleplayer games.

I would like to see some new stroylines. Maybe something based on H.R. Giger's material (I know most of it is art but still has potential), H.P. Lovecraft's stories, Clive Barker's twisted stories have potential, or even some of the Brothers Grimm real stories has potential in being something that can be a new online world.

AoC is just going to get pushed aside and placed on the shelf with Tabula Rasa and Vanguard.

Loads of stuff to google up. Not much is known about the game, but it seems to hint towards modern day setting with the destruction of the world at hand via Cthulhu-esque happenings and lots of conspiracy theory based events throughout history leading up to it. The initial viral advertising for it was very well done.
