I was a hardcore gamer for 3years. never took a shower and lived with my mother no girlfriend and only friends were the people who i played with..the main games i played was SWG(the old days) and EQ (pvp server)..One of the things i loved about swg. was the skill tree (if people played back in the day they know what i am talking about) and the pvp part about it. it was the every 1st game what let people open a market sell goods and build citys. loved the game. then the game went down hill fast to many cryed about not being jedis and pvp was to hard. SWG floped..after the year was over becasue sony wanted to make the noobs happy..EQ was bad ***.. the pvp server was one of the best server that really had guild vs guild battles and noob killing..but that went down hill too, becuase why? Noobs kept on crying.. EQ server is dead. there is no home for me anymore everything i love was taken away from me becuase of noobs crying....but i see a day that is coming ...yes a light!!! AOC!!!!!!!.....i feel that this game is the old SWG.and EQ pvp server . put together!!..but you ask? why would you buy AOC if noobs killed the other games then why would they not kill AOC...you know why!!! funcom said! "we are not going to change the story,skills, nor pvp for noobs"......thank you great god of mmorpg thank you!!!....i hope the crying 12year old boys stay at wow and let that burn to the ground....so now i have a life girlfriend great job and live by my self..but now the day of Conan is coming......."mom can i move back in with you"
please tell me how crying players killed your mojo
EQ="why you keep on killing me,you are 2lvl higher! let me get my body,why would you keep on camping me?" IT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD!

Don't put your expectations too high, all you'll end up is being disappointed.
Very true...was expecting a lot from this game until i read the beta leaks and the fact ffa pvp wont have full loot put me off so : / . I would die laughing if SOE bought age of conan...
its better to love then not love at all
they said that they are going to put blood money when you kill a player but when pvp weekend ends they said they are going to talk to the beta testers to see if they should allow players to loot one weapon or more. we see by this weekend...and if AOC does not do so good ..then im done with MMORPG for another 3years.. i hope it does not flop i cant take my heart crying again.. i justed played Potbs and that was a down fall.. Potbs= turn that boat...wait turn that boat alittle more..turn it..and dont forget to turn it. hit #1 to fire...oh wait Potbs...sony...NoooooOO

Even so, it isn't like there is a better alternative out atm or coming out in the foreseeable future. WAR will not have FFA servers, and Darkfall is something I can't bet my guild on because of the lack of clarity from the devs on giving a date. So looting or no looting, there isn't a good reason not to try it, and by the same token there is a lot of positive information from the beta leaks about how the game is shaping up in general.

First off - <paragraphs/> they are your friend.
I am trying very hard to understand where you are drawing a comparison to SWG and to be honest I am not seeing one. The world design, the game play, the character controls, the combat, the look and feel are all very different. The only similarity I am seeing is the character skill tree but unlike SWG where having a skill allowed you to use at any time most AOC skills are triggered Mortal Kombat style.
From what I have seen of illicit and sanctioned beta footage you get to fight everything around you - aka EVERYTHING IS AGGRO for one thing, kind of reminds me of early days of Asheron's Call minus the enourmous world and ludicrous running speed
I loved SWG when it came out it really captivated me in all of its aspects and I found pure exploration as enjoyable as flying around the outer reaches of AO in my gleaming Yalmaha. I hope that with time AOC delivers the same thrill on par with the best of DAOC/SB type PvP system.
FUNCOM - putting the FUN in disFUNctional !
SWG ..the old days.. what i was trying to say but my job is not making me think..haha.. was SWG was the 1st game ever to have city building..they had siege Pvp and the skill tree was way new how you can put points into the toon and build . now the combat is not like SWG..but.. back in the old days everyone RPed.. so AOC-city building-siege-skill tree..just saying but i do have to say now that i look at it DAOC was a great game to and AOC has little of that too.. i feel and what i have seen this game is putting all of the great games together.. SWG-city building,world,i still think skill tree,EQ-Pvp-RP-noob killing,DAOC- 1st game to ever have hoods and weapons behide the toon when running.....i know now that wow has all of that and other games but i feel like ..all the great 3 games are going to =AOC ...... i'll rewrite this again when i get off of work
Hmm, so you saying that camping some poor schmucks body makes you feel like a man or something?
Good PvP should be hard and done to an equally strong enemy like in guildwars and not by ganking noobs.
I agree that whining has destroyed many games but just have a game where you can easily kill people far under you in gear and level kinds of take the PvP thing away from me. Take EQ2 for an exampel, horrible PVP. You cant entering a dungeon without being at the top level or you get killed by campers 8 levels over you. I'm not whining over that i get killed but it takes the challenge out of the dungeon since I have an walk in the park with anything in there to even be able to enter it with a chance. Of course I can always go in there with a quite high level and kill campers but that kind of sux too since it's too easy if I'm a lot higher and them.
PVP should always be challenging but impossible takes that away, at least to me it's way more rewarding to get an strong enemy than a weak.
EQ and EQ2 have always had bad PVP systems, among the worst ever made actually, AOC will hopefully be a bit better balanced and if not then WAR will be. Heh, even old Linage was better PVP than EQ.
I'm not too impressed about the skill system in AOC, feels kinda like the FEAT system in the D&D pen and paper game and will need some time and work to really make it flexible but with some work it can get nice.
AoC has potential, I will buy it at least. Now i PvE EQ2 and PvP guildwars but it would be nice too have a game with booth good PvE and PvP.
Whining kills pvp, but so doesn't broken classes. EQ2 pvp has never and will never be great. The only people who liked eq2 when it was first released the best, are scouts.
Attack a caster in cloth, kill him in 2 hits then press evac before his group can attack you is stupid. Theres no risk vs reward in eq2 pvp.
EQ2 is way to limited to scouts and druids. 1 and 2 shotting people are not pvp. Chasing people all over a zone because their afraid they might lose their title is not pvp.
They call it everrun and everscout pvp for a reason. You can throw a rock in any direction and hit a scout or druid..
Whining didnt kill swg. Lucas arts killed swg. saying there was to much reading, and they wanted players to kill creature, get loot, rinse and repeat. The lady that stated that is now actually working on some kids learning toys or something.
What ruins pvp are snot nosed kids who only play op classes, and when they are brought in line with the rest of the classes, cry because they have to pvp instead of having instant win classes.
FC hasn't really had a history of catering to whiners.
I prefer Requiem PvP... reminds me Ultima
You can resurrect the player and kill him over and over again uehauehaeauhea
hi
To the OP: You feel good ganking and griefing people who do not welcome your PVP moves any more? (your signature) That is why the game die, not the whinners. WoW has more whinners than any games by the sheer size of its player population. It is not yet dying. Open PVP without any limits? None of the games really capture any sizable population.
SWG is good not b/c of the PVP, its good b/c it has a good overall design, and PVP is consensual. I do not need to PVP unless I want it. EQ PVP is crap. Total crap.
