Age of Conan – Impressions After One Week
by Shals on May 24th, 2008Age of Conan is an impressive undertaking by Funcom. It has some incredible features, some borderline groundbreaking. The Conan universe is a dark place, and this is captured nicely in the overall atmosphere. In my opinion, the game definitely needs some polishing up. This will fix 90% of what I see *wrong* with it.

by Shals on May 5th, 2008Time for me to talk a bit about my second favorite class… maybe first, still haven’t decided. This is by far one of the most interesting and original classes I have ever played and I feel they did a great job with it. I only played up to level 11 but the combination of both magical and melee attacks seem very well balanced. If you choose to play one, you’ll find yourself utilizing both (not just sticking pure melee or magic).

by Shals on May 4th, 2008I was planning on writing a review of sorts for the first three classes I’ve gotten to at least level 10, but decided I’d not know what to really say other than I liked them so figured I’d do a class by class blog including images of the combos, spells, etc. Few screenshots to begin with:
AoC Open Beta Review (Part 2)
by Shals on May 3rd, 2008Late last night I found myself heading over to Acheronian Ruins in order to complete a kill 30 Picts quest. Will start off this blog with a few screenshots showing you the vast landscape of what lays before you, venturing towards the ruins.
AoC Open Beta Review (Part 1)
by Shals on May 2nd, 2008Well, to start off with, I wish I could say the game runs flawlessly at as high a graphics setting my system can handle but that isn’t the case. If you’ve been browsing their forums you’ll notice a lot of issues and questions being raised. So I’ll refrain from going into detail on any of the issues I’ve encountered thus far (which isn’t really a long list).
When you start off you awaken on a beach, with three paths to go down. To the left is just a bunch of gators you can easily dispatch for a little extra experience and to familarize yourself with the interface. The straight path leads to a lady chained up, can see her in the picture below, she wants you to kill some guy and get a key to unlock her chains. Simple enough and to the right is where you’ll find this guy along with more of his friends (continuing down the right will take you to more gators including a boss).
