People still playing this game? didn't saw any threads alive about it over a year i've just started again, updating the client atm... Did they finished polishing DX10 option yet?
I just got back into it recently, the DX10 stuff is still a bit weird... The game has improved quite a lot though I recon. Which server are you going on?
I forgot wich server, i choose a roleplaying server, and created an assassin lvl5 atm, i like it so far yes DX10 is very weird i got all black pixels in my screen, but solved it with pushing AA to 4x from 2x and it was gone, but it's pretty laggy 22-27fps EDIT: I'm on Blackscar server
Similar to their D&D MMO and the LoTR Online MMO the Age of Conan game will now see a free-to-play model soon, also will add new content and such to the game via a update. http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/05/25/age-of-conan-is-going-free-to-play/
I got an e-mail saying my account was opened again for free due to their anniversary. Maybe I should try it again, I haven't played it in nearly a year. I used to play this a lot. The summer of 2008 was pretty much AoC only.
I heard it's improved a lot over these years but I have not played it myself so I can't say much about it. Also here's some other notes on what's available in the free (And rather limited, similar to LoTRO) iteration of the game. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/05/25/age-of-conan-going-f2p-and-unrated/#more-60150
Hmmm sounds promising tbh. The new content won't be accessible to free players, but hey thats ok with me. Might take a look soonish.
I only played the free 30 days, other than the graphics and overal eye candy this game did not bring much for me. But free to play does sound good, lack of players does not bother me much, played most of the time alone anyway, due to the dungeon design where you could pretty much solo everything. Think I was a Dark Templat or something (some kind of tank)...
I played the game last year. The end-game was pretty ****. Sieges were an unplayable laggy mess. It was unbalanced, "tank" plate wear tanks able to destroy anything. You could PvE for PvP gear. The gear:skill ratio did not exist. If you did not have the top tier gear and a fresh level 80 came along, you'd literally die in 3 seconds. I downloaded it and updated for the free anniversary but I pretty much raged when I had to download 11+GB of data, even though I'm on 50MB and unlimited bandwidth but largely due to the fact Funcom are obviously cheap bastards and the DL speed was up and down 500kbs to 1mbs, always staying on 500kbs for most of the time :bang:
