Anyway, as far as cancelling pre orders go, here is my view on why there is nothing wrong with it:

Quote:
According to the terms and conditions of the pre order bonuses, all that all one had to do to get the keys was pre order the game. There was no rule or binding agreement saying that you also had to complete the full order and pay any money for recieving and using the code. The code was therefore a free gift to anyone that placed a pre order, as it carried absolutely no obligation to buy the game.

No, they are only like 10 times better then GW.

See this video here in high quality (the link under views) before saying they arent good:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC8hy...eature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBXfM...eature=related (this one isnt available in high quality unfortunately)

Also some trailers:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJDfEDWElSM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kp5z5UAl44

And the combat isnt just button mashing, it is very strategic, and requires attention all the time.

Heres the combat tutorial video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_jrGre_ttU

and the AoC combat video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R30U5yw3iGM

Please view them before discussing anymore thanks.

Oh yea, and your guild can build its own city like in a strategy game, where you will get access to exclusive items and crafting options that cant be aquired normally.

OK... Too bad it's pay-to-play, and the 360 version will fail.

The 360 version wont look as good, but it will be the same game.

And I dont think that this game could have been free, 5 years to make, over 100 developers, and it is bigger and better then every other game out there right now.

However, the whole pre order mess right now is a joke, but the latest support email to someone else said that you can add as many keys to one account as you like, there is no limitation and they wont be banning people for doing this.

I got me a new toy just for this game:

BTW judging from the combat videos bhavv posted, the combat is a bit slow, and weapon swings dont actually appear to hit the enemy, but rather just pass in front of him.

Maybe i missed something cause my sound is turned off (sister is sleeping) but atm it doesnt look very engaging.

Yes.

It was a great game when it was a CORPG. Now it's just a bad MMO.


So anyways....had to reinstall everything QQ

I'm not redownloading 13gb, I'll wait for the disks to arrive. Was looking forward to the early access too.

Only good thing to come of this is my computer now starts upte in under a minute

Yes it does, exactly how Malice said. Thats why we are moving over to AoC.

I dont think skills in AoC have 1/4 second cast times thats why. You really think you are going to transfer the point and click speed in GW into a real time combat system? I dont see how that can work. Weapons are actually heavy and require swinging with a bit of weight and muscle do their damage. You dont just roll a Wammo and poke things with a pointy sword automatically while mashing power attack and using Frenzy to accack much faster then any human ever could. AoC is much more realistic and detailed in the combat area.

Anyway, I dont think you will be too keen on spellweaving then:

that took a while ...

Yeah I have to say this thread among others has helped my motivation to go down to best buy and get my Rhino and start playing on the 17th.

Dan and Malice Black are right. GW was great for it's time but it's about time to move on plus I can always check into Guild Wars every now and then until GW2 comes out.

Age of conan will either be the next Big thing or simple perish like lotr.

Alot of content in AOC seems promsing and innovative.

Stuff like the whole dynamic world they mention really got me into it. And the mount combat.

But ill doubt the game will fufill most of its promise as the siege PVP have already been toned down to 48v48 as most expected it to be at least 100+vs100+.

But as expansion kiks in later on im sure they will introduce even more awsome ways of game play and features.

Oh I don't know I'm kinda happy with 48x48. I'm enjoying the focus on skill based Melee combat instead of the Rock Paper Scissors or GW, or the epic fail of WoW skill click spam. I enjoyed it in Morrowind, and Oblivion. This seems to have more options for Melee combat than the Morrowind or Oblivion. Plus the Armors are just awesome looking.

I agree that would be rather cool. We can hope and see.

BTW I'm downloading at 47.4 KB a second. DANG! what a huge download.

Plus if it's an epic fail then there is always a return to Guild Wars for free even.
