New Age of Conan Beta: Open to everyone

PM me for an unused open beta key.

In return I'll be wanting some nice screenies or video of the closing event ;)
 
11th. If you get a character to lvl 13 in time it'll be boosted to lvl 20 on the 10th, get a bunch of money for gear, all zones will be unlocked and all servers will become FFA PvP. I suspect there may be other surprises from GMs too.
 
Hmm, No chance on my end of that. Not sure if I should pre-order this game or wait for reviews and have a look at Warhammer. ~HMMM??!!!
 
For those people who are worried because they've been hearing about bad performance in Open Beta:

Funcom released a patch for Closed Beta yesterday. A lot of Closed Beta testers are calling it a "miracle patch", due to the fact that it fixes a lot of the performance problems, stuttering, and long loading problems the game had. They also report some improvements to lighting, as well as fog.

Some CB testers are reporting getting over 100 FPS in Tortage. Compare that to the maximum 60 FPS people have been getting in Open Beta (those with killer rigs)

I myself have a modest PC at the moment. Here are My specs:

AMD64 3700+ 2.4ghz
2GB DDR 2100 RAM
Evga 8800GT 512MB
300GB SATA HD

I updated my card's drivers to the new Nvidia 175.63 Beta drivers(get them from Guru3d.com) and got a noticeable FPS boost.

My current performance in tortage night: 40 FPS average, med-high settings, character shadows, no bloom.

I have heard reports of the closed beta patch increasing FPS by about 20 or 40... hopefully they'll roll that out to us today.
 
I can confirm this, fixed most of my performance issues ..getting a steady 40-50fps on a similiar set up to Rico (except an x2 4200 + 3G of ram)
 
Yes, they finally bothered to fix the performance issues. The occasional memory leaks are still present though.
 
Sounds good. I've preordered it again :P. But I'm also looking at Warhammer online too. Shame I wont be playing tihs much at uni :( Stupid internet
 
I finally managed to download and install AoC last night. Had a bash for about 30 minutes before going to bed. Came to it after work today to only find that the beta had already finished. F*CK!!
 
Yeah I played a bit yesterday and this morning, I'm definitely buying it.
Still unsure of what class to roll though ;)

What classes you played? I like the look of an assassin.

Whats the monthly cost? I can buy a 60 day game card for ?20 quid. So it 10 quid a month?

Something like that.

I'm trying to choose between Bear Shaman, Conqueror and HoX.
Assassin is somewhat fun, but I find it kinda one-dimensional. No real depth to it.

I think I'll probably go for BS actually, it looks like it has the best-designed feat trees out of the ones I'm considering.
 
So anyone with GFX cards that are older than 8800s playing?
 
Lots of people.

It's definitely playable with a decent geforce 7, a top geforce 6 is about the cutoff line for playable performance from what I've heard.
Having more than 1 gig of ram seems to be quite important.
 
Well, that's cool.

The client's way too big for me to dl, so I'll wait for a smaller one... if one comes out.
 
Well the open beta finished today anyhow.

Yeah lots of stuff happening I see, the patch notes are getting leaked all over the place this close to launch.

I'll be starting the early access the day after my exams finish. It was meant to be!


Check out the spellweaving video though, iirc it's not in closed beta, saving it for launch.
 
ya lots of stuff isnt in the closed beta ...also I forgot to pre-order so wont be in early access ..hopefully they'll keep the beta open till launch day
 
Man, sucks about the DX10 though. This makes no sense to me after they couldn't stop talking about it MONTHS AND MONTHS ago. :hmph:
Funcom officially confirmed that the DirectX 10 version of the company's MMORPG Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures won't ship during the initial launch. The launch takes place this week (starting tomorrow, to be exact - with the European launch following on May 23).

"The DirectX 10 version will be premiered at the German Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany, August 20 ? 24, 2008. A special preview showing off the advanced graphics made possible by DirectX 10 technology will be unveiled this summer at nVidia?s NVISION event in San Jose, California, August 25 ? 27, 2008."
