and what happens if said mage/priest feels for some little solo action and meets another solo melee toon and decides to run for whatever reason?
said melee would have little to no problem to catch up
having a larger endurance pool will be quite enough if you ask me
Hard to say, a design question really. I am all up for same speeds over a given period of time, what I don't like is the way DAoC is and the way peeps use the speed there to gank others.

yeah but there will always be ganks in one way or another even if they don't have speed boosts.
the only thing i can see that would prevent kiting/speed ganking is to lose all speed boosts and have badass immunity timer that shares ALL forms of CC.
thats another issue i'm having in DAoC. CC being the "we win" button if the enemy cant counter it. heck i even think WoW's version of CC is to much.
it should only be a nifty little tool imo, not a "must have"....

Sad to say, Age of Conan is pushed back half a year, to 25th March 2008. Now it will have to compete side by side with WAR on the release date.
Funcom and Eidos announce new release date for Age of Conan

I doubt that will be the case. They will need the money Age of Conan will bring, for their other mmo projects aswell. They have pumped in alot of money in AoC and the investors will probably see some money from it.
At the recent delay announcement Funcom stocks dropped by over 40%, which resulted in a loss of about 125 mill USD in stock values.
The 25th of March 2008 it will come

i certainly hope so, but then again. we are talking about stubborn norwegian developers
Wait Wait Wait guys i need someone to confirm this ..
U have to do 20 hours of single player before u can even play the online game.. once ur online theres bare amounts of PvP anyway..
(only NPC's can attack ur guild cities) and u still have to keep getting it resources like stone etc...
PvP is gnna be a bit scarce innit?
Andddd tbh if u think about it someone said in the first post "6 people in a grp is cap unless u have a commander which is 10" right so when people don actually get a commander in there grp they can only have 6?
cant this defeat the Fg element almost?
AND 80level? zommmmggg
these other games coming are begginning to make warhammer look good.. and thats saying summin -.-
I mean in this massive PvP zone.. ur gnna have FOOOOK loads of Npc dudes attacking loads of peoples cities... Real players wont actually have enuff time to fight eachother ..
i aint convinced atm it was all sounding good to me before they said " level 80.. Npcs only can attack ur guild cities...u have to keep on collecting resources. 20 hours in single player"
It sounds like a game called Savage? anyone used to play that... this is EXACTLY the same.... u used to spawn at a city and loads of u used to charge at a enemy base ( u could pick wht sort of class u wnted to be.. like a skirmisher a heavy skirmisher a BIIIG munnafugga and some other stuff) u couldnt target anything u just swang
And u had a dude building a city for u whist this was happening like in age of empires mode.. and the real players had to go around collecting resources
Sounds exactly like it i loved that game
but AoC u have to properly level up and singleplayer and blaa blaa blaa

80 is just a number, what if it took less time to reach 80 in AoC than it does to reach 40 in WoW? i wouldn't get to hung up on it.
As for the first 20 levels being single player, think of it like an extended tutorial/setting the scene/character developement section. There are multiplayer opt in sections to it also so its not entirely solo. And besides i find you always spend the first few hours of any mmorpg soloing anyway so i see no difference except that it will be a much more personal/realistic experience.
NPCs can only attack your PvE city, there are no npc armies in the Border Kingdoms.
I mean i could go on and on about where you are mistaken shadowss but it would take me far too long. Whereever you are getting your information it is either way out of date/you're mis interpreting it/its just plain wrong or a combination.

I suggest people read about the game before you voice your opinions about it, as you either have misunderstood completely or got outdated info.
They dropped the first 20 levels of singleplayer. It's now optional. You adventure in an online world with other players at day and can choose to sleep to adventure alone, at night.
There are no NPCs in the PvP zone- border kingdom. So there won't be "f00k l0adz of npc innit" or whatever. You can build and defend a border keep from other players, just like in daoc.
And yes, level 80 is only a number.

So, as you can see in some of the videos there are just 3 attacking directions now and 3 combo buttons. How many did they have before?

There were 5 directions before. Afaik the tank classes / melee classes will have 5 directions but they put it together abit hastily for GC. It's all a placeholder now.
Max combos you could equip before was 6. Now you can have as many as you want. But you have to click the combo before you execute it with the directional attack. To better control what combo you were doing (instead of memorizing combos like you had to do before)
But you prolly know abit more than me of the new system since you had hands-on time with it.

Yeah I know, it's the most retarded thing you can do for a MMO game and really, that kind of economic model is just freaking idiotic.
But that's for AO. So hopefully not for AoC...
Oh and btw, new Clan of Conan: Clan of Conan #11

Sale of in-game items sucks imo, just a personal thing I guess.
