    Great read..

    I am interested in more information on the PvP mini- games.

    On another note...I also hope there is a little something to do with down time. I enjoy fishing, playing cards, betting on things with other players and other stupid mini-games like that. Sometimes its fun to be social without questing and killing things.

    I have been getting alot of updates and alerts from this game i think it is the best game in development.

    According to this PvP seiging and PvP minigames aren't in beta. . .

    It's going to take a long time to work out the bugs in these systems and get a decent class balance. Funcom should delay the game another 2 months.

    Well, its not as informative as they used to be. However it answered some of the questions there have been for the last several weeks on the forum, still, the most cricitical cases are unanswered.

    -Is it legal to gamble in the game?  Explain how you mean that? An in-game system for gambling?

    -Drunken Bawl ? (Serius, this was something I really was looking forward too) I think the decision hasn't been finalised yet.

    -Are Ranger really auto aiming?  As far as I know there will be both, auto-aiming and the 1st Person Mode.

    -In-game economy ?     Info on Crafting and thus, economy, are readily available. How the economy developes will have to be seen.



    Server

    -How often wil the server been down?, will there been a weekly/Monthly maintenance? I'm sure that's something to be decided closer to launch than 3 Months.

    -Is there a final list of many server there will be operation at Day 1? Not how many, but they stated that there will be RPPvP, PvE and PvP servers.

    -Anarchy Online launch was painfull, what are Funcom doing to prevent a event like this again? I would suppose they will do everything they can. Like pushing back release to ensure that the game is ready

    -How many characters can a person have per server?     Good question, couldn't find anything, but not -that- pressing.



    Tech

    -Are DreamWorld Engine supporting SLI mode for grafic card? ?

    -Does Age of Conan support DirectX 9, 10 and even 10.1? DX9 and 10 will both be supported, that's been discussed already.

    -Quad core Processors, does Age of conan take full advantage over these? Considering Quad-Cores have only been out a rather short while (compared to development of the game) I would think not, but don#t quote me on it.


    All in all, some of those questions are not really an issue for me, not yet anyways. Lots of these questions are probably going to be answered shortly before release, because some might well only be decided by then. Like the downtime of servers.

    -Bounty Hunter System (still in the game, if not, maybe later)? I know there will be a "bounty" that people can place on another players head. I do not know if this is due at launch, but imj sure it is not a major issue for release.

    -Is it legal to gamble in the game? Im sure local law is applicable here, though I did not really know this was ever an issue.

    -Drunken Bawl ? (Serius, this was something I really was looking forward too) Should be in game, but not at launch.

    -Are Ranger really auto aiming?  There will be both auto aim and a fps view that will allow for more damage and distance

    -In-game economy ?     What do you want to know about the economy? Will they have one?Economy is a feature that evolve in most MMO's.

    Server

    -How often wil the server been down?, will there been a weekly/Monthly maintenance? Of course. Likely alot of server side maint/patches after the launch.

    -Is there a final list of many server there will be operation at Day 1? How many servers? I have not read how many, but I have heard what types: PvP, RPvP, and PvE. Amount of servers will be based on the amount of projected monthly subs... or so I would think.

    -Anarchy Online launch was painfull, what are Funcom doing to prevent a event like this again? Im afraid I dont know much bout the AO launch, but I would think that a company investing millions in a project would learn from their mistakes.

    -How many characters can a person have per server?     Have not read anything about that yet.



    Tech

    -Are DreamWorld Engine supporting SLI mode for grafic card? I dont recall reading about SLI, but I hope!

    -Does Age of Conan support DirectX 9, 10 and even 10.1? Yes, yes and I dont know about 10.1

    -Quad core Processors, does Age of conan take full advantage over these?     Yes, according to the last panel discussion vid I watched.

    Look, we answered your question to the best of our abilities. Why do you lash out now? The subject of the Rating and the cut content was discussed in many other thread's and at great length. Is there any reason for you to bring it up here? If you're not satisfied with the answers we both provided, then say so and point out what you are still missing info on, I am sure that either pust082 or me will do their best to answer the questions if we can.

     

    Don't just toss random things like that our way. I was glad you came with good questions about the game, so I tried to answer them honestly, and all you can do is toss a random remark back at us? Just goes to show...

    Fair point taken. I will make a deeper report on this matter later. I just a bit stress at the moment. My company are going to simulated a terroirst attack at the nuclear power plant i am working on. So there will be tons of armed commandos running around.

    Gaute made it seem like there won't be an open beta, they will just accept more of the applications - "around 35000" total.

    This is kind of disappointing. What about stress testing? Surely they need to do that, and I doubt all of the projected 35000 closed testers will be online at once and there will be way more people who purchase and play the game.

    Quoted from the article:

    "If that number goes up to 35000 I wouldn't be very surprised at all, perhaps even more. With these numbers we are able to test all we need to test – and to control the logistics of a simultaneous US and European launch in 4 languages! And then in May, well, we will soon tell you ;p!"

     

    Now, of course, I can't guarantee it, but that does sound like there will be something more coming in May, don't you think? Of course, I could be taking that the wrong way, but I'd like to think that means that the Beta will grow to an Open Beta (yes yes, with a registration process oh my god -.-) in May. Just my opinion though.

    Such as the launch of the game?

     

    I thought that's what he was referring to, but I guess like the first two weeks of May could see a stress test deal with FilePlanet. No worries here, since I am a subscriber.

    *chuckle* Yeah, the launch, too. But yes, as you said, I could see a "Open" Beta arriving in May. 20 days is a timeframe for many Open beta's I've seen in my time. So it could be that. As I said, can't guarantee anything, but here's to hope.
