+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted July 8, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted July 8, 2008 I know people have asked how does this game compare to wow and such, but not sure if anyone has asked. Compared to Lord of the Rings Online, how similar is it, how different is it...better or worse or what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abandonhope Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I tried conan,I don't think it is near as good as WoW.Great graphics don't make up for great game play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seethru Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I personally unsubscribed. Sick of the grinding that is past 50+ along with most of my guildies not really playing much anymore. Thinking I'm gonna split my gaming time between TF2 and WoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoDEAN Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 People seem to have lost faith in funcom, and are leaving in mass amounts. Too bad the PVP / Siege battles did not deliver as promised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashel Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Only a few vocal whiners have lost faith. PvP is great and siege battles will be polished up in due time. It's continues to be a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smigit Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Yeah I still like it although it definetly isn't flawless. There are some broken quest which are apparently known about and rather than fix them they want to redesign the dungeon or whatever. Fine, but it'd be good if they removed the ability to get the Quest to begin with thus leading me astray (example is Enter The Pyramid in Khopsrich) Other one is game performance. It runs ok but every now and again it seems to completely freeze up for 10 - 20 seconds which is a real pita when in combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapixels Veteran Posted July 22, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'm back on WoW for sure. I liked AoC, but after trying WoW again after a month and a half, there's just something about it I enjoy so much more. I can't put my finger on it, but it's definitely there, and I don't think I'm switching again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoDEAN Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Went back to LOTRO. I'll try AoC a few times a week, but until funcom realizes there are serious issues, ill hold off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smigit Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Buddy keys now availablePosted: - 22.07.2008 We have now opened the first part of the Buddy key program for Age of Conan! Everybody who has purchased a Collector?s Edition can now invite up to five friends, who can try the game for seven days without purchasing a retail box. The invitation process is easy. You need to log-in to your account pages (https://register.ageofconan.com), and choose ?Buddy program?. Follow the on-screen instructions, and then write a personal message to your friends if you so desire. We recommend that you lend your install DVDs to your buddy to get him or her ready to play as fast as possible. Alternatively your buddy will be offered a $2,99/?2,99 client download with 3 additional days of playtime to cover the download time. While this offer is only for Collector?s Edition accounts for now, we will soon open up for the Buddy key found in the standard retail box as well. http://community.ageofconan.com/wsp/conan/...p;table=CONTENT I have a collectors edition too but will be handing keys out to my counterstrike guild as asked for first. If I have any left overs in a wekk I'll be sure to let people know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't put my finger on it, but it's definitely there, and I don't think I'm switching again. WoW had the fan support through all the rocky beginnings and now it is a very well polished game. What sucks is other MMO like LOTRO and AoC could really be a lot better than WoW if the developers had as much time to polish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapixels Veteran Posted July 25, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yeah, I completely agree. It seems like Funcom is working on it as much as possible, so hopefully they get things sorted soon. There are a lot of elements that make it a downright better game than WoW, but overall "fun-ness" (you know what I mean :p) lies with WoW for me.

Xeta Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 WoW had the fan support through all the rocky beginnings and now it is a very well polished game. What sucks is other MMO like LOTRO and AoC could really be a lot better than WoW if the developers had as much time to polish it. While you do have a good point. Why do online game developers release the game before it's ready? Premature release was possibly the biggest reason for Auto Assault's failure. And its also a big factor on why games like: Hellgate, Vanguard, Tabula Rasa, and others aren't doing as well as they could. They were released before they featured even the basics like: auction houses, account banks, mail systems, top level content, and respecs. And quite possibly the most important thing missing would be an "overhyped" game launch. If no one knows what your game is or when its being release, how are they going to know to buy it? Anyways, it really looks like a fun game, but the only thing that's going to get me started is a trial code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smigit Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Well since no one in my clan has responded I'll be happy to give out 5 keys, one to each person that PM's me. My only condition is that you have the game files already some how...I don't care how but you can borrow a friends disk or whatever to install. If not you have to be willing to pay that $2,99/?2,99 fee for the client download (which gives you an extra 3 days). I just don't want to be giving out keys to people that realise they don't have the files and aren't willing to go out of their way to get them or pay for them. Bare in mind if your dloading it will be quite a large download given the game comes over two DVD's and installs at about 30GB. But yeah, if that's cool throw me a PM and I'll see what I can do.

ylcard Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Have you guys seen the Zero Punctuation review for AoC? http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/vie...38-Age-of-Conan Haha, this is amazing ;) (and quite true) I'm playing this Barbarian and specced into Berserk, and got loads of combo's now, thing is, I don't have enough room for all of them, and if I start putting them on all the extra hotbars, I wouldn't be able to use them effectively.. since I'm not gonna click them all the time ;( Any suggestions ? (I tried remapping the hot-bars to my own keys but that won't work for higher levels) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOTRO was polished before it even launched. Most impressive open beta I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
