The graphics themselves in EvE is not superb by today's standards, it's the art! The beautiful vistas of space are refreshing to look at, even after I've played AoC! But still, graphics in AoC beat EvE, but EvE has graphics that cannot really be compared to any other game we have so far.

I'm sorry but I disagree.

If EVE was a game that can compare to AoC graphically, it would be Gears of Wars.
And Gears of War graphics > AoC graphics, in my book.

Are you mimicking me? For shame.

Some people call them stones... why is that?

Stones are like pebbles, generally smoother than rocks

So it's better to have rocks than stones I guess.

Just thought I would post the PVP rules released by Funcom.


http://support.ageofconan.com/article.php?id=170

What is the PvP Policy for Age of Conan?
The biggest rule of thumb during PvP is simply "play fair, have fun". Unfortunately not everyone agrees on what is fair or fun.

When you are PvPing on one of our PvP servers, virtually all areas are open to PvP combat, and you will more than likely be attacked during your time in-game. When this happens, please remember that playing on a PvP server is considered to be consent to participate in open PvP combat with other players. If you feel that someone is aggressively following you then we suggest remember one thing before petitioning:

As long as there is a PvP solution to a situation, GMs and Followers will not step in.

A number of options are available to players so that they may eventually remove themselves from an unfavorable PvP situation:

Players are granted temporary immunity to damage when spawning and when zoning into new areas. This immunity lasts for 20 seconds or until the player enters combat mode.
Players may choose to respawn at another location in their current zone if one is available.
Players may use their Path of Asura to return to their bind point at a non-PvP city hub. The casting time for this ability is greatly reduced while the Shild of the Risen buff is active.
Players may change to another instance of their current zone if one is available.

Should the existing mechanics fail or be circumvented then a GM or Volunteer may intervene. If you find that you do not enjoy the dynamic gameplay that a PvP environment provides, we have several PvE and RP-PvE servers to choose from.


These were released over the weekend....sounds to me like they are pretty much taking a hands off approach.

And no problem Lobo...you can keep on insulting me, while I play a game and enjoy it, and you keep drinking the DF koolaid for another decade, and start on a new flavor called mortal. You're absolutely hardcore not playing a game and bitching about other games actually releasing a product.

There are so many other things (including non-MMO video games) to do irl that you don't have to throw yourself at every crappy MMO that gets released.

When there is nothing interesting on TV, do you still watch it?

I don't.

No, but then again...lots of people liked and watched sienfeld...I've watched a couple episodes in syndication....with 150 channels of shit to choose from, everybody is going to get to watch what they want, and it's pretty stupid to hate on others for wanting to watch a different show. I dont care to watch transexual brazilian midgets wrestling...but I am sure there are those that do.

I would rather not play a damn thing than give into being ghey. You keep drinking the mayo of lame arse mmo's made by stupid mutha fkers. Its (B's) like you that have destroyed what we know as real mmo's. Hey, I think DF dev's are a bunch of bullshit arstists, skumbags and I would not give those ghey asses a dime.... even if DF does come out. Your lame AoC is item based, gear based, instanced with harsh PvP restrictions.

I play a popular player run classic UO shard and Shadowbane on the Thurin server. I know its weird playing older mmo's on high end machines, it beats slurping down the mayo of mmo's made for wusses. Just so you know, Mortal Online and Darkfall are not the only skill based, sandbox mmo's being made atm.


Aslo gobble these!

And thats about all an mmo noob can say. It makes me wonder wtf are you mmo noobs doing on these forums? The only thing that will go on if people like you play Mortal is...... You get PKed, you bitch and shed tears to the Mortal dev's so that the game gets changed into a wuss land. I hope to god that some of these newer sanbox mmo's dont give into the wusses who have no clue what a real mmo should be.

Your mum likes my soap, son.

I don't think I've ever read a well articulated fact based post from you... it's just... ranting. Always ranting and lots of insults with nothing to back it up.

Very tiresome, yet entertaining how you think so much of your opinion while everyone else is laughing quietly.

But I suppose if it makes you feel good.

[look out here comes a rant post again...]

Very tiresome, when I do not give enough sausage tickles to big strong pirates. My man oven has many, many miles. I like to think of my man oven as a Toyota, Toyotas run forever. Me and my man friend do alot of laughing quietly as we tickle each others lips with mushroom heads.

But I suppose if it makes me feel good, I will forever be the #1 sausage purifier.

[look out here comes.... slurp!....again!]

Thats not good

Thats not right in my book.

the 9/10 was given by a very unpopular company and there is no proof backing up there shipped copies and nothing telling us how many of those shipped were actually sold. They sceemed to make more and more people get locked into a horrible game with pre-orders.. those who pre-ordered had an automatic 1-up on other player, people had to pre-order.

They don't mension any of their problem btw, the one huge one being 1/3rd of the people who bought the game can't even play it.. and even if you can play it, you are plagued by problems.. nothing like that was mensioned, at all.

And yes, I have played it, I have played alot of it, and 5 of my friends are playing it.. It's seriously one big overhyped nightmare of a mmo, this is no WoW killer, not even close.

Alot more than 1/3 got in, my guild of 60ish had probably 5-7 people at most with issues.

They definitely overhyped though, they promised so many things and just didn't deliver, the combo system is kind of a nuisance in PvP because people simply dodge them with ease.

-Crafting sucks. Absolutely terrible. They overhyped this trying to make their quest system seem special, same shit different game.
-Massive siege (a developer stated 250v250 would be doable) turns into 48v48
-Siege isn't even in the game yet.
-DX10... Nope.
-Quest driven leveling experience... Have fun grinding levels 50-80.
-No loot tables for quite a few areas. Kheshetta has VERY generic loot tables and at best you will get a green item, trust me, I know, I had to grind from 68-80 there, I must have killed 12-16,000 humanoids for those levels.
-T3 Guild Cities not even possible at this point in time, and it's obvious they did this so they could patch it later and say "oh, sieging was in the whole time but we screwed up some value blah blah blah."
-Cheetah 2 performance... Game runs like crap, still terrible lag spikes with 12 players in an area with low graphics and SM2, this is on a decent computer.
-Pretty much everything that can be bugged is.
-Serious class balance issues.

Despite its many flaws it is still quite enjoyable, I just wished I had actually paid for what I thought I was, because this isn't by any stretch the game we were being promised, they talked so much crap just to sell a few extra boxes.

I was planning on trying out The Secret World (another Funcom MMO in the works) but I don't think I will touch another FC MMO for a very, very long time if ever, besides AoC that is.

Hopefully MO will have better numbers

Judgement Day comes ever closer, when there is no more free play and you will have to waste some more cash on an unfinished product-of-fail. That's gonna be the reality check for Funcom.

And - hopefully it wont. I prefer playing a niche game with 200K people than having developers feed us crap, because their multi-million subscription base is ma
