Småprat om/rundt Age of Conan

[RamGuy]

Jeg ahr før bare spilt to MMO spill før, og det er Guild Wars og WoW. Ingen av disse trenger Visa/Mastercard for å aktiveres.

 

Du trenger jo det på World of Warcraft?

 

Du kommer da ingen vei uten Visa/MasterCard eller GameCard der?

[oophus_3do]

Han har vell kjøpt kontoen sin på ebay ellernoe.

 

Fev4ng: Hvordan ellers kan man registrere seg til noe slikt?

[dymoletratag]

Altså, dere visker bort skillet på Gamecard og Visa/Mastercard. Jeg registrerte min WoW-account ved å bruke koden fra spillet, og et 60-dagers gamecard. Nei, ikke kjøpt på Ebay.

[RamGuy]

Man kan vell også aktivere Age of Conan med et 60days GameCard?

 

 

EDIT:

 

Ifølge Eurogamer kommer Funcom til å lansere Age of Conan hele tre dager før lanseringsdagen for alle som forhåndsbestiller spillet over nett. Dermed kan du droppe iskrem, pølser og barnetog til fordel for blodige kamper i Hyboria.

 

Alle spillere i USA, Tyskland, Frankrike, Australia, Storbritannia og Norden får lov til å begynne å spille det 17. mai om de forhåndsbestiller, resten må vente til 20. mai.

Fikk denne mailen av funcom i dag:

 

We are only a few weeks away from launching Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures and the entire team is working hard with preparing the battlefields of Hyboria for your arrival. Why not pre-order the game today to secure your place on the frontlines?

 

If you are planning to pre-order Age of Conan, the sooner you do it the better it is. Not only for your own sake – it also allows Funcom to better scale and prepare our systems for your arrival!

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures launches in the US on May 20th and in Europe on the 23rd. The difference in date is mostly due to logistical reasons and shipment procedures.

 

Please use the pre-order button on www.ageofconan.com to find further information.

 

Note: different retailers may provide you with different pre-order bonuses, such as different types of in-game mounts!

 

 

 

 

If you pre-order the game you will be allowed into the world of Hyboria several days prior to the official opening of the servers, which is set for May 20th in North-America and May 23rd in Europe. This is what we call the Early Access program.

 

By pre-ordering the game from a retailer that retailer will supply you with a pre-order key. You can use this key to purchase Early Access from the Funcom website for $5 / 5€.

 

Note that Early Access is exclusively available to those who pre-order. The characters you create during your Early Access period will still be available to you once the servers officially open. Early Access will require you to download the game yourself.

 

The dates for Early Access are as follows:

 

Europe: Registration and sales of Early Access open on May 2nd. Download of the client for early access from May 16th, and you can start playing from May 20th.

 

North-America: Registration and sales of Early Access open on May 2nd. Download of the client for early access from May 13th, and you can start playing from May 17th.

 

Purchasing Early Access will not only give you the chance to jump into Conan’s world before the rest of the world, but it will also give you ten extra days of free play time. These ten days are added to your thirty days of free play that is included in the retail

 

If you have not received your pre-order key by they end of April please contact your retailer directly.

 

 

 

 

As a reward for pre-ordering Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures some retailers offer exclusive in-game items. Note that not all retailers offer pre-order items, so be sure to familiarize yourself with what the different retailers reward you with for pre-ordering. Note that you may not be able to use your pre-order reward item during the Early Access period.

 

Claiming your in-game pre-order item is easy. When you pre-order the game you will be provided with a pre-order key. By using this key when you create an account, all characters created on that account will have access to the item from that point onwards. The items themselves are claimed inside the game, and you will receive more information on how to do that at a later time.

 

Here is a list of the pre-order rewards that is available:

 

The War Mammoth

 

The War Mammoth is a massive, but slow mount that does tremendous damage in player-versus-player battles. These gargantuan beasts, mounted by skilled riders, stride across the blood-soaked fields as mighty battleships set to conquer some unknown harbor. A vital instrument in any siege attack, a War Mammoth may very well determine the outcome of a battle. Employing these beasts in your attack means that you can break down walls and damage buildings even without siege weapons.

 

Those receiving the War Mammoth will also get an inventory bag from the beginning of the game, as the mount itself can not be used until you reach the required level for using mounts in the game.

 

The Killer Rhino

 

The Killer Rhino is a less powerful but quicker mount, speed packed into a body intended to maim and slaughter. On their backs, skilled riders fight for control, carefully employing them in battle where the death of many is required in as short time as possible. In siege battles the Killer Rhino is a potent yet dangerous instrument of death thanks to its ability to brutally plow through large masses of enemies in a quick, brutal and lethal frenzy.

 

Those receiving the Killer Rhino will also get an inventory bag from the beginning of the game, as the mount itself can not be used until you reach the required level for using mounts in the game.

 

Amazon Curved Bow

 

From the fabled dark jungles of Amazonia the female warriors of Gamburu are well known for their combat prowess with bronze bladed shortswords and curved bows alike. At the cost of many brave lives, Hyrkanian raiders brought home a handful of the unique Amazonian bows, now mostly found in the black markets of Aquilonia. This weapon can be used from level 25 onwards by characters with proficient bow-skill.'

 

Other items

 

Depending on which retailer you choose there are also other rewards being made available. This includes booklets such as the Hyborian Guide which is a full-color guide to key locations, monsters and the cultures of Conan’s world. Another booklet made available provides an introduction to the game’s key features. You can get an overview on who is offering what pre-order item by visiting the various retailers through the official Age of Conan website.

 

 

 

 

 

If you really want to invest in Age of Conan, why not get yourself a Collector’s Edition of the game? While the regular edition rocks in ways, the Collector’s Edition rocks in every way. Not only do you get a beautifully designed box, it’s also full of loot!

 

Note that the availability of the Collector’s Edition is limited and it is highly recommended that you attempt to secure a copy as soon as possible if you are planning on purchasing it.

 

Here are the contents of the Collector’s Edition:

 

Ring of Acheronia (Exclusive In-Game Item) – The Ring of Acheronia is an exclusive in-game item which will only ever be available in the Collectors Edition. Stemming from the ancient civilization of Acheron, the ring offers special XP and stamina enhancements for players, making it a powerful companion on the brutal journey through Hyboria.

 

Hand-Finished Collectors Edition Box – A true piece of art, the metalay-embossed box comes with the royal emblem of King Conan. Naturally it comes in a larger-than-life box, with inlay page and individually numbered holographic sticker.

 

Hyborian World Faux Leather Map – Made with a unique finish and designed by celebrated cartographer Clayton Bunce, this 14" x 20" faux leather map gives players an authentic overview of the vast Hyborian world.

 

Unique Bonus DVD – The bonus DVD is filled to the brim with visual entertainment, and includes trailers, a greeting from the game director, behind-the-scenes videos, developer diaries and artwork.

 

Official Age of Conan Soundtrack – The official game soundtrack CD features a hand-picked selection of the best music from the game. Composed by Knut Avenstroup Haugen, the official Age of Conan soundtrack delivers an incredible and powerful musical journey.

 

Age of Conan Art Book – With hundreds of art pieces hand-picked by the Art Director, this 128-page book delivers a stunning visual experience. Featuring never-before-seen pieces, it fully depicts the incredible amounts of art which went into the creation of the savage world of Hyboria

 

The Drinking Cape (Bonus In-game Item) – As fitting for a mature MMO game, the Drinking Cape gives you access to free drinks in all the taverns of Hyboria. This dream-come-true outfit will never be available after the game launches, and with it you can impress friends down the road by proving your status as a pioneer player.

 

Five Free Guest Passes – Online games are all about having fun with your friends, and only in the Collectors Edition will you get five special guest passes to Hyboria.

Det var litt rart at Nord Amerika får starta den 17. mai siden det er FunCom som har laget det, nesten så Norge skulle få vært de første som skulle få prøvd.. Syns det var litt dumt, skulle ivertfall vært likt over hele verden

[Kultom]

Har noe med at spill lanseres på en annen dag i USA enn de gjør i Europa osv.

 

F.eks Tirsdag i USA og Fredag i Europa. Derfor det er slik.

[RamGuy]

Nå ser ikke jeg helt poenget med at spill skal slippes spesifikke dager jeg da

[Walts]

en ting jeg har lurt litt på, får US og EU forskjelige server slik som i world of warcraft?

[TheScorp]

Ja.

[Nightflyer]

Hvis man har beta clienten må man laste ned hele greie på nytt og avinstalere beta clienten for og spille den 20 eller holder det og oppdatere den?

[haffi]

Ja.

Det har jeg alltid lurt på hva er hovedsakelig forskjellen på eu og us server?

[RamGuy]

Ja.

Det har jeg alltid lurt på hva er hovedsakelig forskjellen på eu og us server?

 

Hvor de står plassert..

 

Amerikanske servere er plassert rundt omkring i USA, europeiske er plassert i Amsterdam

[bögfisk]

Det er sånn 7-10timers tidsforskjell så det ville bare blitt kødd hvis de spilte på de samme serverene uansett.

[XitereX]

Er det sånn at beta testere har nå lov til å si litt om spillet? Og er det noen beta testere her så er det bare å snakke om hvordan det var? (visst det er lov da) ;D

[Venerable]

Nei det er bare den 3 dagers PvP betaen fra sist helg det er lov å snakke om.

[XitereX]

Åkei, noen som vil si noe om det?

[Olsenhower]

Det er sånn 7-10timers tidsforskjell så det ville bare blitt kødd hvis de spilte på de samme serverene uansett.

 

Neida. Gikk helt fint det i AO, så lenge det finnes folk som ikke har arbeid eller jobber skiftordning. Noen av de beste vennene mine var amerikanere.

Synes det er litt dumt at de skiller EU og US i AoC, men det er forståelig.

[RamGuy]

I Age of Conan er jo ytelse og latency veldig viktig på grunn av realtime combat systemet.

 

 

Vi har jo bedre forbindelse med serverne når de befinner seg i Amsterdam, enn om de hadde befunnet seg i USA

[Jext]

Har spilt endel i general beta jeg, og ser det ikke som noe problem å fortelle om mine opplevelser nå som NDA'en er løftet fra den åpne PvP betaen som mest sannsynlig har nærmest identisk klient.

 

Jeg logget inn senest i går, ettersom jeg leste at spillet hadde gått til trykkeriet, og kunne egentlig ikke helt tro det. 4gb med patching senere var alt like glitchy og ting føltes ikke særlig bra. Jeg håper mange kjøper spillet på launch så de får kapital til å forbedre det, for det trengs.
