Great video...
The keeps are much bigger than I thought. Makes me excited about the strategic aspect of attacking/defending them.

Yeah, battle keeps are freakin massive. Can't wait to see one of those get destroyed.
This video should go some way to answer peoples questions.
Dungeon looks very cool.
No one 'slide' and weapon animations were spot on - expecially the polearm moves if you watch closely :P
I didnt think the keeps were going to be that big, alot of strategy is going to be needed to take one of those down.
Nice find. I've only seen 10 minutes of it but it looks amazing. Thanks for the link.
I liked the speed of the mounts and how they looked in comparison side by side like that.
I remember 18 months back when the doom sayers were saying you will never be able to attack from your mount in Age of Conan "you just can't do it in an mmorpg"... I laugh at that statement when there is footage like this showing you swinging a melee weapon either side of your mount!
great video, answered most of my questions. I pissed myself a little from excitement during city creation lol !!!
Your so right Avery, the mounts steal the show for me...Love the speed the different attacks, how could you not love the way that horse kicked those guys down...? really really cool stuff...
Graphics look excellent, how good the sieges are will depend on latency issues when a few hundred players are on screen at the same time. In the past FC have had a great deal of trouble with this aspect and I hope they have managed to sort something out that is at least reasonable. The combat system and camera controls still look in need of work. I can imagine all the Conan purists though will be mightily pissed off by how much FC have deviated from the lore. The start of the dungeon with everyone stood there buffing up is straight out of AO and all the pretty magic effects lol. Maybe Godager should read a little more REH
The guy playing on that horse sure timed that 2 back hoofed kick!
For sure, doesn't look like an easy thing to do on the run...But I will find a way to use it I will...lol

Overall, this game looks great. The mounts look as though it is going to take a little practice to get good from fighting on horseback. The battlekeeps are huge and guilds are going to play a big part in this game. I hope they come out with an expansion soon with player housing within or outside of the city.
Wow, I've watched a few GDC AoC videos but nothing this detailed. Cheers!
I loved this video as well. It answered a lot of my questions showing many different aspects of the game.
The mounts look absolutely super. The mount attacks were awesome (the horse back-kicking looked very nice).
Around the 33+ minute mark, he was explaining a little PVP. He was hinting that it was going to be pretty "hardcore" PVP. This is fine, but I was wondering if the PVP world is going to be an "80's only club". Meaning can other people 1-79 be effective in PVP (i.e will it be fun for them), or is it going to be a situation of one level 80 will be able to take on an army of level 40s and 50s?
*CLAP*
That is a great video and is the first video I have seen do this game justice. Thanks for posting the link.
Bravo, bravo!
MMO Vet since AOL Neverwinter Nights circa 1992. My MMO beat up your MMO. =S
I also enjoyed the mount display, and I am sure the player city display will leave lots of MMO players in awe. Personally, I am both excited and scared (for my team)!
