Although advertised with DX10, the game currently only works on DX9, and has issues with SLi set up cards, and ATI cards. There is no end game content, and each patch breaks the game even more.The combo system is great, PvP could be fun, but the class imbalance ruins it (I mean, the tank class with the most hp and armor should not be one shotting other soldier classes, or even squishies for that matter), unless your a guardion or a healer, PvP is one sided.The client has been riddled with issues like memory leaks and instability. The game is great, up untill lvl 40, then classes become gimpped. Don't expect to see the wonderful grafixs unless you have a really good computer. after 40, the story ends, and the grind begines.
Age of Conan isn't exactly a 'bad' game, but it certainly does not live up to the hype which surrounded it before the release. There are bugs, lack of content, balance issues and patches that often do not make sense.Worth getting the game if you are looking for something a bit different and don't mind waiting months or even years for a fully 'polished' version.
Half-working auction house system.
This is the worst MMO I've ever played, period.
Annoying mail system (this thing was designed to piss you off, you'll understand if you ever use it).In short, the game isn't done - and it probably won't be done for another year or so.
I don't care how "early" this game is, it was pushed out the door while it was still alpha quality now we have the privilege of paying to test for Funcom.Class balance is a joke, end game content consists of finding another player to 1 or 2-shot (kill in 1 or 2 hits), then getting 1 or 2 shotted yourself, then doing it all over again.
Broken quests.
Massive PvP is a joke - sieges are a 5fps slideshow with over 1000ms ping times when all 96 players are on screen.
PvP in this game consists of sitting at a spawn point and ganking other players before they can heal up.
It's not actually possible to win a siege due to bugs.Endgame raiding is also broken, it's not possible to beat a number of the bosses unless you exploit them.Crafting doesn't work - the quests are endlessly bugged as are the recipes.Oh, did I mention the memory leaks and frequent client crashes.
The parts that are done are either intentionally designed to frustrate you, or they were designed and coded at 8:45am before a 9:00am patch - they're not well thought out at all.In short, stay far away, there are _many_ better options out there.Other missing features: PvP system, DX10
And had the product in my mailbox by Tuesday. The mailing service from Amazon to a mailing address in Germany was awesome. I have a APO address and I ordered the item on 4th of July which was a Friday. If that isn't service I don't know what is.
It was hyped way too much, simply because it isn't WoW, the graphics are pretty good, and it includes bloody decapitations and dismemberment. The starting region of the game, the island of Tortage, is actually pretty good because it's the only area that the developers put any effort into building even a vague storyline to give your character a sense or purpose or reason for doing any of the quests/missions. Literally, the worst loot in any MMORPG to date. It should be pretty hard to screw up a property as awesome as Conan, right. Hopefully Mythic's new MMO, Warhammer: Age of Reckoning, will be what Age of Conan should have been, because Funcom completely missed the mark on this one. Well, Funcom worked long and hard on Age of Conan to do just that, similar to their other MMORPG, Anarchy Online. After hours and hours of quests, don't players deserve some kind of tangible reward for their efforts.
And it's CONAN. And this mechanic was used successfully in WoW, Oblivion, Fallout.pretty much every RPG to date. Even if you have a decent system (3.0GHz C2D, 8800GT 512MB, etc), and maybe most of the time the game runs pretty well, the memory leak and other bugs will eventually make it necessary for you to shut the game down because texture and object pop-in will be so bad that even the ground you're standing on will be a blurry mess, no less everything else around you. So after running way too far to get to each quest location and killing a bunch of the same boring NPCs over and over again, you're rewarded with crap.
It might seem like a cool idea to have large expanses of realistic terrain, but in reality, it's not only boring looking, but everything is way too far apart to travel on foot. And the list goes on.Overall, the game is just boring. I didn't even both to renew my subscription after the first month. The NPCs are pretty much all silent everywhere else in the world.After you finish Tortage, which doesn't take long, you're allowed to travel the rest of the world and that's where the quality drops way off. It's also the only place with much voice acting. This game is just boring.
Somehow they made the quests boring, the NPCs boring, the environment boring and the loot boring. If only the quest rewards didn't suck so much, maybe Age of Conan wouldn't be so damn boring.
With a 30GB installation, you'd think they'd have more than a dozen characters with voices, but apparently not. Not only will you spend way too much time traveling to each quest, but the quests themselves are very generic, most of the NPCs you fight are generic humans, and the loot they drop and the quest rewards are almost always UTTER GARBAGE.
But the worst part is that the large sections of empty terrain are really boring to look at and run through constantly.Which brings us to the general lack of fun in this game. Evidently, the developers don't think so.And then of course, there are the bugs.
Even the loot in the lvl 60-80 range doesn't look very good. Too bad it's going to be a long time until you can get a horse.
If we learned anything from Diablo, it's that a game can be based solely around nearly mindless clicking to acquire more loot to look cool and it will still be fun. PvP is entertaining for a while, but the novelty of that even wears off after a while because there's no reward.
