The PvP combat in Age of Conan is really promising. There will be massive siege battles of the scale yet unseen in MMOs. The players will be able to build siege engines in their own towns and raid the enemy's, break down their walls, kill them to the last man, and pillage their treasures. Guildless players need not fear - they will be able to participate in these guild wars and actually make some extra gold by becoming mercenaries. |

These games has several levels and with each level difficulty increases and players needs to finish each race first to get to the next level. To be a winner, one needs to be fast, well-aware of the keyboard buttons and can gain expertise only with the passage of time by continuously playing it. Here, players compete against each other with the killer instinct and focuses their entire attention on wheels racing on the race track. |

Two bloggers recently set the contrast displaying both their points well. Scott Jennings, AKA Lum the Mad, in a post titled "It's the Fun, Stupid," espouses that Age of Conan is a mess, albeit a very fun one. On the opposite side, a more dissenting opinion comes from Heartless Gamer. In his post titled, "Age of Conan Troubles Continue to Surface," he believes Funcom would have been much better off if they added more content and didn't launch for at least a few more months, and this negligence is one reason why he is not playing Age of Conan. Both sides understand that the game is far from perfect, and that every MMOG goes through their growing pains, but one is having fun and the other didn't. It all boils down to the fun factor which is of course completely subjective to each player. |

It's not as if these are all terrible, unmentionable nerfs or anything. There are certainly some bugs, but the undocumented changes list also includes good things, such as a quest finally being available for Villa Camillus, and boosted exp for all of the repeatable Villa quests; a number of updates to the graphics of items; and chain kills occurring more frequently. |

Of the classes, the Dark Templar seems to have gotten the most love. Many spells had their mana costs reduced; the conversely bright Priest of Mitra class also received some improvements. A raft of quests have been corrected, and it looks as though itemization has been smoothed out in a few areas. My favorite GUI improvement: "Fixed problem that would cause the resource manager to download the same resource again and again." |

The mighty Commodore 64 is responsible for breeding Godager's love of gaming, and Pool of Radiance and The Bard's Tale brought him to the world of RPGs. Of course, his fondness for sci-fi and fantasy books (in particular from Asimov and Tolkien) were what made him seek out games in the first place, to further the escapism that he had experienced in reading. |

There's something to be said for turning a corner and sizing something like this up as it looms into view. This particularly impressive (and doomy) One Shots vista from Age of Conan comes to us courtesy of David L. We haven't run into this area just yet (well, okay, a couple of us have, but we're trying to not spoil the game for others) but David says: [this is] the Sanctum in Age of Conan. It has a great Indiana Jones feel. Just so long as that Indiana Jones feel involves us getting away with the loot and our lives, we're cool with that! |

The patch notes also feature another round of class tweaks, notably some buffs for Dark Templars and damage changes for Priests of Mitra. Confusingly, Bear Shamans will be getting improved Wreck Armor combo visuals and sounds -- however, this is a Barbarian combo, so is this change actually for Barbs or did they mean the BS combo Crush Armor? Other really good things: lower level mobs will knock you off your mount a lot less (although higher mobs will do it more) and attackers at your sides will have half the chance of knocking you off -- attackers from the front will never knock you off. Finally, player cities will be able to get their Trader NPC at last. |
