[Nabobalis]

Thanks for the heads up. I got registered. Hopefully I get in so I can decide if I want to get this game or just miss it.

 

[CptStern]

a reminder: this is the PVP test ..so it's not the entire game: you start as a lvl 20 character and play through pvp games

 

[Cpt Tenacious]

They should really run a system test because I lied about almost everything.

 

[CptStern]

meh no skin off their back if you get 3fps :E

one questiong about conan stuff

I got a interest on it but when I go to those comics stores there is hundreds of versions like saga,the legend of conan,world of conan,conan the pirate bla bla and I dont feel like getting them all so which is the "original" version?

 

[Iced_Eagle]

I'm all signed up.

I still wish I would have gotten access to the beta before it launched. :-\

Hopefully they will have a "try the game for X days" shortly after or on launch

you're living in spain right? well the original was in english so all of them are reprints of the english versions ...Conan saga may be similiar to a north american comic by the same name that reprinted some of the early Conan the Barbarian from the 70's ..I'd recommend that ..also if there's something called "la espada salvaje de conan" ..get that

Lucky son of a bitch.

 

[TheDude]

Meh. Not too interested. Just another time sink.

 

[Eejit]

Looks like it's too late to sign up now?

 

[CptStern]

no, it's not late ..there's 15,000 spots and it's not decided right away

 

[Sedako]

There's speculation that those in the technical beta will be allowed into the PVP beta, but I signed up anyways for good measure.

 

[DigiQ8]

[CptStern]

btw here are some details about the beta weekend:

To make the weekend even more interesting Eidos and Funcom also includes the engaging Age of Conan character creation system, allowing players to create avatars with strong personalities. All 12 classes in the game, including the barbarian, can be picked and tested, with Funcom transforming each character into a fully specced level 20 death machine. In PvP lobbies players can then chat and socialize, prior to entering PvP matches. Participants are urged to test different classes, and offer any feedback on the forums. There will also be forums on GameSpot.com where people can talk about the event, and Funcom staff will be present to gather feedback.

character creation is pretty cool ..better than oblivions imho

 

[Eejit]

Well maybe I need glasses but I don't see any buttons or links labelled "sign me up"

 

[CptStern]

you have to sign in to gamespot first (free account)

 

[Eejit]

Did that, still don't see nuffin'

 

[CptStern]

you're right ..they must have taken down the join beta button ..when the first beta sign up was announced they received more than a 100K submissions in 24 hours ..perhaps they've already met their 15,000 quota ...sorry

 

[Eejit]

Ah, thought that might be it.
Oh well, guess I'll just have to wait till May after all.

 

[CptStern]

there's an open beta coming and more beta weekends

 

[Eejit]

Aye, but they'll likely be too close to my exams unfortunately.

This would be very nice. I just received information about the Gamespot beta now due to midterms and lack-of-checking game news.

Aye, but they'll likely be too close to my exams unfortunately.

In the same boat, mate

 

[Raziaar]

WTF I can't see where to sign up on there?

...

EDIT: Ahh screw it, I don't have time. so busy.

Gamespot has taken down registrations but left the page up. :x

 

[CyberPitz]

I signed up, but I'm not really looking forward to this game. Maybe if I get accepted and play it, I'll like it.

This.

 

[Cpt Tenacious]

This.

What the hell does it mean when people just say "this"?

 

[Wanted Bob]

It is the same thing as QFT. Basically I agree with his statement and am either too lazy to write my own variation out, or I cant think of any way to improve on his statement.

 

[Eejit]

It's like QFT but makes up the 5char limit.

 

[Evo]

I just signed up...if I get in this best be good Stern

 

[Eejit]

Aaaah registration is open again

I wonder why... maybe it turned out that a bunch of the apps they got on the first day were botted or something?

hey not my responsibility if you cant see the awesomeness


although to be honest, I'm not sure if pvp beta is the best introduction to AoC for new players

Haha...well it looks good from what I have seen, but MMOs generally ain't my thing...mainly because of the monthly monies

Yea, being a poor student does not help at all. Plus the time sink doesn't help tbh.

 

[morgs]

I've heard bad things about this game, it has PLAYER COLLISION

Player collision is good and bad.

 

[Nabobalis]

Player collision is good and bad.

What I was thinking. It depends on how its implemented. In cities that are busy and non pvp areas it would be chaos. But in other areas it would seem fine.
