Age of Conan

Okay, this game is now on the top of my want-list, so I'd want to share it with you guys

The game is still in alpha stage but is now accepting beta applications, so apply early. A few points about this game that caught my eye...

- Revolutionary Combat - If you're handling a melee weapon (swords, maces, axes, you know...) and swing it in front of you with 4 (or more!) mobs are in range and in the swipe of your weapon... THEY ALL HIT! And you get 6 directions in which to strike at them! No more target-move-attack routine! Combat just gotten a little more involved.

And its not just melee weapons. Fancy yourself a ranged person? You're going to have to string your bow, aim, and let loose, all by yourself.

This doesn't mean RPG skill elements are useless or is this a twitch-type MMO, RPG stat based skills will still matter (of how I don't know since its in Alpha phase)

- Player Cities, Battlekeeps, and Sieges! - Build your city/battlekeep, have it attacked or attack others with trebuchets and other artillery.

Player cities will can house shops with NPC-driven markets, player houses, and other buildings, just as one would expect of a player city.


Now if you want to know more, head on over to the site and forums...

I heard from PCgamer that you can attach joypad to play this game instead of keyboard and mouse.

holy ... i like the string your bow, aim, and let loose, all by yourself. part

toplist for me like you

one thing.. can it beat WoW ? =D if cannot, then I'll wait for RO2..

WoW players are going to have to change a little bit of mindset to enjoy this game since its not target-buttonsmash routine anymore... Combat seems to be like if you don't pay attention, a lowly creature could kill you too.

Yea, you can use a gamepad and play it like a console game

Sign up for the beta guys! The more of us sign, the better the chance someone from LYN will get in! And get involved in the forums... seems like a good bunch around

And PCGame.com.my has it up TBA at http://www.pcgame.com.my/product_info.php?...roducts_id=1378

b'cos of this game, I might even take up lessons in grunting... hehe

Haha... going back to the barbarian days eh?

is this something like rakion? i mean u not just click on the monster and fight it by itself? i hope is something like rakion~`~

not something like rakion please..

i prefer some grinding mmo

Never played Rakion... but you can find out about the combat system at the Community Portal, and the preview videos.

oi bro, make sure you get your hands in this MMO then we can go to the Tavern and get drunk in the Brawiling PvP.

What turns me on in MMO crave is the combat system as well as Conan lore. Being a barbarian is really fun, bashing and slashing.. oh the gore

If anyone gets beta access, and if you signed an NDA (not sure if they doing NDAs for this beta), better keep your mouth shut until the NDA is lifted.

Unless you wanna lose your betaship

any1?

Age of Conan, a title MMORPG that no one in Malaysia seem to be looking up.

The game is set for s release date next month, and is 1 of the most anticipated titles to date. Age of Conan is rated M for maure and i can see why, nudity, voilence and blood is all part of the game. This may be the game that subsidise the WOW addict for a while assuming it doesn't suck bigtime .

SO far this game offers a whopping 12 classes and 3 factions to choose from. Incoporates mount combat, wicked combat system and great looking graphic(if your pc can handle it of course). The variety in this game is so tempting, but like all the games i buy, i never pre-order an MMORPG until the facts of the game is made clear on the release date(Screw you HGL!!!). But so far i'm very impress, they even got sieges in!!!!

Do be aware that this game is no walk in the park, your PC might get its ass kisked by the requirments. Mine is still playable on medium settings.
