Age of Conan: New game engine! Dreamworld 2.1 Update!

[ewan6512]

original conan music! love it!

[siwlhs93]

What is the music that plays in this video?

not to mention that the mage combatsystem is exactly like in other mmo's (auto target 1,2,3). so the new and fresh combosystem is only for melees which makes the game even more imbalanced. Or the shining, storytelling in Tortage and the smash in your face when you get outside of it and it becomes a normal mmo.

I really love the basic melee combat system and nothing more. the developers should have focused on game mechanics instead of shiny graphics.

[Xenkth]

graphics ++

comosystem and hitbox ++

but the servers feel empty, the out of memory bug is there since the beginning of the game, the rediculous vast amount of killpoints you need to get one! pvp set. (worse than any asia-grinder) the lag of pvp content and rewards that motivates you. the keepfight lags / crashes. the absolute retarded idea to seperate mana and stamina which made melee (stamina = sprint & kombos) vs. mage (stamina = sprint, mana = kombo) fights completely imbalanced. esf. ... ...

[ttabwol]

Nice walk, but PVP's still fcked at Tortage.

[archolon]

@ttabwol So out of the 80 lvl's the game offers you are worried about the first 20?

[BraunDang]

hmm, just redownloaded the game and was wondering if i set the graphics wrong r something, because it looked kinda bad..

saw your video and realized that its not on my end...

damn shame tbh, but the graphics are less than impressive nowadays and the grind is as horrid as ever,... couldnt even get through tortage without wanting to blow my brain out...

Wish a decent company could pick up the conan licence and make a better game out of it...

so much great lore, yet such a shitty game...

[Flicker455]

What planet are you on? How can possibly find this to be bad!? The new engine is bloody brilliant, stop spouting this nonsense, you've obviously lost touch.

[BraunDang]

@Flicker455 ... lets put all gameplay issues aside for a second...

Graphics:

Good for an MMO, but..

These is a great "stiffness" in almost all areas, its hard to describe, it the edges are too sharp on both terrain and on objects, characters basically glide on terrain, it doesnt feel natural..

Rivers/waterfalls look like shit.

Textures are way too low res and lack any way of "fluid animation" (you know what i mean, shifting texture sets on the same tile, variable bump mapping/tessel etc..)

[HwarangXia]

thx for showing... man the lighting is so much better now~

[draker696]

You know what?

Im downloading the game right now.

[MrGrakkus]

@draker696 we are many that love the game :)

[spimuch]

damn ,i have exams and i really want to play this game again :( ...i wish there are more players then before now ,because when i used to play this game it was empty .

[Nibinhilion]

It looks amazing. And I definitly love the music!

[beelzemoul]

Aoc is the best mmo out there by far! The most beautiful world and brutal the same time + the best combat mechanic!

[DemoraX]

this game had potential to be the best MMO ever, it had amazing graphics, an 18 rating that sets it leagues apart from Kiddycraft, amazing mounts with mounted combat etc i just wish they'd released it a year later after a good amount of polish and bug squashing

[Exeeter1234]

can you plz tell me what specs your computer has

[archolon]

@Exeeter1234 Dual core E8400, GTX 560Ti, 8GB DDR2@800

[Flicker455]

@archolon And it runs it this well? That's more or less the exact same specs I've got! Damn I'm downloading this as we speak!!

[MaTchBoOkPoEt]

looks identical.. they just put a new coat of paint on a pinto...and said here... its all new!

i just want them to merge the servers.. and maybe ill play on the new hardcore server .. .. which i know they will fuck up

[DarkTemplR]

 Looks good when you don't move.

[TheBONGO16]

same shit

[madboyelben]

hahahah.. was watching to the end.. then holy shit the other barb was mine! :P I was arranging skills-combos etc when he came along :P name was Furlow if author remembers xD it's unlikely that I'm mistaken cuz so few people were on teslive at that time(maybe no other than us).

[archolon]

@madboyelben lewls :D

[TBU1992]

How many people still play this game???

[Josqpiercy]

The lighting effects look much nicer.

[KongMad]

Do you have any ideas when we are able to see this uppdated dream world engine on the real servers? Im really looking forward for it!!

[TheEikelhoofd]

Is it on dx9 or dx10? if its not on dx 10 could you make a video on dx10 graphics ?

[archolon]

@TheEikelhoofd It is Dx10.

[dioze20]

really calm stuff there archolon. it deserves the acknowledgement by fc.

[empwillkill]

Nice video. shame it is too little too late for this masterpiece with such potential that funcom managed to shit all over time and time again..i for one will not be going back unitl they A: unfuck casters and B: Make the game free to play.

fuck you funcom.. fuck you long time

Lirial

[wombatpt]

The music is.... Awesome, brings back those early vanilla days in AOC...

[teddybeers3]

nice , cant wait till deployment, hard to believe that aoc has been out 3 years and no other game has come out that comes close to the graphics.

[HumaMage]

Great.

Featured in the Hungarian Age of Conan site.

[Zorvan]

Wow, good performance in Tortage? :p

*yawn*

Now show us video of you in Khitai.

[archolon]

@Zorvan If you took the time to check out my channel you would see I do have those videos.

[Zorvan]

@archolon Ah, okay. Sorry, didn't look. How many FPS were you getting in Khitai?

[archolon]

@Zorvan 30low 130high

[BakamonNO]

Hi Archolon. Frirst of all thank you for taking the time to create this video it was a pleasure to watch. I have a few question i hope you could answer. With the new game engine, will there only be an fps improvement? From what i can see, this looks just like DX10 on max settings as it is today. When you write that funcom will balance the classes, will that include removing comboskipping? Then, regarding what funcom did to premade pvp minigame groups. what is your opinion on that?

[archolon]

@BakamonNO The FPS is insanely good in DX10 even higher than Dx9! I've never had a issue with PvP as I'm a crazy barb.

[the101gamers]

the music is calming

[mociinurbo]

Looks great, nice system.

[mociinurbo]

what are your systems specs?

[archolon]

@mociinurbo E8400@3.0Ghz, 8Gb DDR2@800, EVGA GTX 560Ti, 1Tb HD space, 650w PSU

[Riorach]

I am honestly thinking of returning to AoC, since I left I haven't found the right game to fit the void, and I gotta say I miss the roleplay(Yay for being a RP Fag! :D), do you think its worth it to return?

[AcolytesCommunity]

@Riorach I think If funcom can pull of this new Game engine it will be 100% worth returning. They are a small team of workers and with this new client you can see the hard work put into it. Something rarely seen from Funcom.

[Riorach]

@AcolytesCommunity I hope it gets better, I really miss this game o.o, from the looks of it Funcom is becoming the company I hoped they would be, I am gonna stay subscribed to keep my eye on things. Good to see you Acos btw!

[archolon]

@Riorach RP has alot to offer in the game. As for the RP community we have a fairly good RP section in the Acolytes. They also RP with others so it's not just a "In Guild thing"

[Riorach]

@archolon I've always been fond of the Acos in roleplay, you lot seem pretty nice ^^

[FreneticfangsFL]

@Riorach

RP on Wiccana is alive and well... and if by chance RP on Cimmeria picked up again I'd pay to transfer all my characters over there.

LiF (guild) always killed the RP for me in Cimmeria... but gods do I miss the mass scale mounted combat.

[Riorach]

@FreneticfangsFL Lol LiF were just people trying to get their rocks off in PvP, I dont even know if they are still here or not o.o. But I am on Cim and I'll be starting up a new Clan(in the place of Elkhorn) to stir up some RP goodness.

[Kfaw]

Wow this is absolutely amazing, i played AoC when it came out and given it several new chances after that and im thinking of giving it another chance. How is it now compared to release? I will be focusing mainly on PvP, any information will be of great help :D Also, keep doing these vids, love em

[AcolytesCommunity]

@Kfaw For once Funcom is listening to the players and working very hard on fixing the issues talked about. Keep in touch or subscribe if you haven't already to stay up to date with the client progress.
