Kamakazie is clearly an underappreciated character from the Conan universe. I am here to tell his story!
So tonight I logged on to Age of Conan and my buddy Away was there to confirm my suspicions... there was really nothing else to do in Cimmeria until 40 :( So off we went to Aquilonia and the Wild Lands of Zelata where it looks like we'll be good til about 38!
The two of us banged out a few quests and after a few hours I became level 34 and he is now 35. After he logged off I ran around the town doing some fetch quests and at one point I noticed (aka: was killed by) some lv 54 guy hiding near one of the quest givers ganking people. Unacceptable! After getting killed by this guy twice, I hid nearby to be assured that he was indeed killing everyone who came up to this NPC. So after seeing him take down some others, I group invited a few who had just gotten killed, expressed my need for vengeance, and off we went to take this guy down. We hid then sent in a lv 22 as bait and waited for him to expose himself... when he did I charged in and knocked him down as the 3 others in our group followed and started unloading on this guy. He didn't know who to attack at first, but then we got him to about 30% health and he began to run - we followed and took him down before he reached the city guard. Huzzah! We hung around to see if he would return and he did. He took us off guard and murdered a few of us before we were able to regroup and kill him again. At this point he brought in help as 2 of his guildies appeared and thankfully they didn't know what the hell they were doing because we took them both down as the original ganker ran for his life... it was at this point that while we were all huddled around celebrating, a giant stone altar began rising in the middle of the ground. I did a search and found out what was causing that. A GM. Massive and level 100, this guy was doing something that looked both awesome and terrifying and it brought on a fair crowd. He then proceeded to kill some people and generally just mess around before leaving. All in all it was a great time.
Haha, thats some epic revenge. Im glad you pulled it off, i almost want to play games like aoc or wow just so i can get powerful and go round killing assholes like that. Random pvp is one thing, but ganking lower level players as they try to do quests is pretty shit.
That gm thing is sweet! My friends and i have had a few ideas of making an mmo, just so we can do stuff like that. On an even grander scale, probably :P.
I love this game too.. but be prepared for the brick wall you hit at 50. Literally no quests exist past that point. They are developing more middle-to-endgame stuff right now, so I abandoned my lvl 50 HoX and I'm leveling my Guardian right now.
Other than a few downsides, this game is pretty awesome.
