Everyday Gamer

Age of Conan is seriously looking to be my next MMO aka the WoW replacement. Gametrailers takes a look at the PVP combat in Age of Conan which includes the ability to jump into PVP mini-games. Similar to multiplayer modes in most Online games, there’s capture the flag, and annihilation to name a few. Annihilation is basically team deathmatch, where the opposing teams try to kill each other for the highest score. Also I like the idea behind the PVP leveling and PVP points that you gain for actually DOING something. A much better approach than WoW’s honor points where anyone can gain points by just camping in the graveyard in Warsong Gulch for the entire match (recent patches for WoW have helped with the PVP cheaters, even still, AoC’s method sounds better).

Also shown briefly was the siege warfare!! It was mentioned that the siege mode was guild vs guild, which it is great for guild members to fight together and can help build guild morale. A problem I noticed with guilds in WoW is that they tend to do the same Raids over and over - boring! Siege warfare in AoC could have the guild fighting a different battle each time, since they’d be playing against other real players.

We’ll keep an eye for more previews from Gametrailers - and keep our ear to the ground for more Age of Conan news! Find your inner barbarian when Age of Conan releases on May 20th in America.
