Post subject: | AoC - early OPEN beta impressions |
Interesting first impressions from early open beta and it appears that solo play up until level 20 is gone, to a certain degree. http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/age-of-conan-hyborian-adventures/870744p1.html |

Just a quick drop in to give you a quick impression of my open beta experiences:
This is what comes to mind right now - please feel free to ask me questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Computer Specs wrote:

So far I have a bear shaman, a guardian, and a barbarian (of course!) cresting upon level 10 where the traits come into play - where you actually start becoming a class more than a generic swing hit kill person. I haven't played a caster yet, but that will change this evening. It's so nice playing without the test beta issues. Loading between zones is time consuming right now, but from what I've read there's a lot of debugging code in the client slowing that down currently. Like Liro said, the environment is awesome. So detailed and realistic. The animal and insect sounds of the jungle are rich. Frame rates are great even at full blast. I'm running a GeFroce 7900 GTX w/ 512megs on a dual core 6600 with 2 gigs of ram. I've taken lots of screenshots this time and will post up later. The combat, so far, isn't the ground shaking, world changing mechanic, but it is fun and very involved. It's button mashing but on a faster scale. You really need to think about what you do when handling multiple mobs. Taking on 3 same level mobs is difficult so far. Either intentionally or I just stink right now. But what fun is it to walk into a guaranteed victory? There's quite a few bugs (ended up in the ocean under the town of Tortage somehow earlier), but that's expected. I don't know how different the IGN Open beta is against the Closed beta I'm playing in so hard to compare experiences with others right now. Which beta is everyone in? For closed, the NDA is for up to lvl 13, so anything after that, I'll need a subtler forum to speak in (access pls!) More to come. |

Oh yeah, if you're in closed beta, which server and names are you? I've been on Closed Beta 2. Slyclonis is playing along too so send me a tell to either Baylor, Nartet, Crelt, or Bayclonis and let's group up! I'm sure I'll have 3 or 4 more characters by end of the weekend. But hey, I've got til launch to play |

To be honest I can't really tell if I like the game or not. I've played conqueror and necromancer so far to level 11, and I'm just not having as much fun as I thought I would. I think alot of it comes from how unpolished the game feels, and that could be because of beta but it is pretty darn close to release. PvP feels a little weak to me as well. For melee classes it feels really random just running in circles around each other swinging in every direction till someone dies. |

for all you disheartened beta testers... Keep in mine what set was like in beta. The game was barely playable, countless bugs and crashes. They shut it down 3 days before release and the community was up in arms. In those 3 days they applied the games release patch and the stability and gameplay seemed to improve a hundred fold seemingly overnight. Wouldn't suprise me if a similar occurrence happened here as well. |

Please keep in mind this thread is for discussion about OPEN Beta for AoC. If you are in closed Beta for AoC make sure you are adhering to the NDA when you are posting here. Thank you. |

Thank you. My NDA doesn't really go into effect until you hit new info after lvl 13. Other then that the general reviews are under no tighter controls that anyone else. And don't worry the dev notes and news aren't something I am going to share anywhere here. Atleast closed beta specific data. Everything else is comon knowledge now. |
