Age of Conan

[Invert]

i was focusing more on the fact that this game isn't just a grind session, like wow is. i played for probably a solid 2-3 hours, and got that far.

False accusation! From 0-70 I have never had to grind in WoW. AoC needs to develop a bit more, including fixing bugs and broken zones that don't work before I'll play it.

What? You do know that "Kill X amount of Y" is essentially a grind right? There's no way you went 1-70 with no grinding.

Anyhow, I think you're right and I will wait before picking up Age of Conan.

yea. although it's an mmo, i'm still not feeling the open-ness that you feel with wow. it feels like it kind of funnels you through some storyline. ive heard it's only like this until 20, though. even invert mentioned it. so who knows. it's a kickass game, visually, and the combat system is tight, but it doesnt instantly strike me as something thats going to be over all better than wow.

it's like.. the game has all the big cool things, but is missing all the small every day use features.

Sounds like a good idea if it's only the first 20, sort of like an introductory tutorial.

[Warrior]

A lot of MMOs are like that. LOTRO did it for like the first ten levels or something.

[Barabajagal]

Oh, alright. I'm not really a gamer, so I wouldn't know.

[warz]

i don't know, either. this is the first time i've seen something like it. it's not so bad, though. you're still around hundreds of other people below level 20.

I'm thinking about buying it. I want to start getting into a MMO.

I don't consider it grinding when it's part of a quest. The difference here is that the killing X amount of Y's will end up rewarding you at the completion of that task beyond the reward you would receive for just killing Y's without limit.

if you've got the very minimum, 2gb of ram, and a 512mb video card, and dont mind running it on lowest settings then yeah... it's worth it.

It's great.  I started...Tuesday?  And I'm level 32.  Mind you, I had some help/existing knowledge, so it may take a little bit longer the first time around.

Eh.. I only have a 8600GTS and that's only 256MB. I'm running on 1680x1050 resolution. I'm guessing that won't be good enough eh?

So is the game very fun? Very buggy? Come on.. fill me in on the details.
