Hmm i'm not 100% inpressed with the combat system, i really dont like the chat system although the graphics i am 100% impressed with. The graphics alone wont get me to play the game though.

Although i logged in wow and still stood there with nothing to do :(

I actually have to say the combat system has really grown on me, though I almost wish they wouldn't have tied the combos to an ability button. Just let you keep chaining them if you know what you want to do as you gain the new combos. Creates a lot of extra clutter when you want to use multiple strengths of the same ability. Would improve the flow of combat as well.

Some confusion too:

-No DX10 at launch

-NA got the exact same version and EU (they both got genital nerfed with a nasty grey thong) - Zee Germans are the unlucky ones that got the neutered version. The US got nipples by Crom!

I love this game. I always have something to do, and the combat system is perfect for me. Not too complex, but a lot more involved than just hitting auto attack and choosing a special ability every once in a while.

Maybe if you want something on a smaller scale look at Guild Wars. You'll still get the social aspect but the game plays out a bit more like a conventional single player game due to the game being partially on rails as well as using instanced zones.

Obviously not what you bought your machine for, but if you want to try an online RPG and the MMORPG's are a bit overbearing for you that may be a good alternative.

That or stick with it for a bit longer and you may warm to it. To really get much out of the game you need to have other people to play with but. I quit WoW after getting borred and not wanting to grind for another 40 - 50 levels to catch up with my friends on the server. had I had ppl I knew and was playing with I'd likely still be on there. This time with conan I'll be starting out with about a dozen mates from my CSS/TF2 clans so I'm optimistic I'll have more fun.

I played guild wars when it first launched and loved it. They took a while to get the first x-pack out though and I got bored. The only thing I was missing was the ultimate armor.

It was a really good game though!

Maybee I should try reading a book again. (seriously)

That is basically my system, except my new videocard has not come yet.

And I have the same problem, most MMO/RPG etc games tend to be too much for me, I like to actually finish a game lol, but I was hoping this one had some better features and and such that would keep me going. That is why I was hoping for an earlier demo for it, might just have to buy it.

No trials and the buddy keys are still locked away until they decide the servers can handle it. Otherwise I'd give you one.

Finally got a friend to sent me an invite (or whatever you call it).

Should be playing it tonight! Then if I like, it's a buy.

Wonder how you got one... I still can't generate one yet.

    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years

      Which finger's fingernail are we talking about? I can see how not having this info can lead to massive differences in interpretation.
    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.

    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
