Age of Conan Redux: Fail
OK, so I gave the return to Hyboria a try seeing as how all I hear is about how revamped and more exciting it is. Well not really. Apparently all the changes are endgame. I was still seeing the same zones with the same issues for all my little “baby” characters.
I do have to say that the game ran smoother than I remember, but that could be just my shaky alcohol ridden memory and not truth. I will still put it in the good column for the changes department, seeing as how little there was impressed me with my return.
First the promised smooth reactivation of my character. Not so. It only is smooth if you click on the lick to download the client from them. Try to run the game from your already installed client and “issues” happen. So just click the link, it says some kind of warning that there is a previous client and so you want to continue? Just click yes.
So after all the looking around shenanigans and realizing that all the changed content that was discussed id for the higher levels, I was excited to try the create a lvl 50 toon that my email talked about so that I could really see the meat of the matter. Again failure loomed.
Apparently you can only create a level 50 if you already have a level 50 character. Uh, what?
So what the hell is the point of all that effort to see the content if I can’t see anything until I get there anyway?
I tried very hard to look at a way to reopen Age of Conan for play in my schedule, but was stopped by the game itself. So back to the box of games I reserve for tried and done games, it was nice seeing the idea and effort of the Conan world, but it falls short of taking anything away from the other MMO’s it was contending with.
