New PvP video (CTF)

[Fraktal]

CTF!! (http://www.jeuxvideo.tv/age-of-conan-hyborian-adventures-video-42501.html)

Few things on the video:

Clipping was pretty bad
What the hell was the sun doing? (The flickering)
Gameworld looked hella nice, even for an arena map.
Latency was an issue, and weren't they at a LAN?? lolz?
The time it took for THREE guys to beat on a plate tank, versus the time it took for TWO guys to beat on a mage seemed pretty balanced.
Oh and what was that noise in the background that happened everytime there was a fight? I bet its the music, and this camcorder sux ass.

So for all you PvP tanks, you might actually shine in this title, by being... well... tankish?

And lets hope Strykr is smarter than that mage in the vid that ran up to two melee'rs and tried to melee.... rofl.

This introduction of battlegrounds isn't anything new about the game. Developers have already stated for awhile back that they were to be included in the design. The question comes what is the reward for playing if any and whether bloodcoins, resources, and pvp exp is obtainable during.

I can see at most bloodcoins and pvp exp as things earned while playing. Possibly a reduced value for both of them since you are placed in a situation where you have an initally equal chance of winning based on team size. If any resources are received I would imagine it to be an insignifficant number in comparsion to the actual amounts you would need to build and maintain villages and battle keeps.

All and all heres hope that all the Battlegrounds will be used for is entertaining quick pvp without trolling the realm and meager rewards.

I agree that the BGs should have very little reward, maybe luxury items like titles and trophies.

But you realize that PvP gear will probably come from BGs as well, along with bloodcoins. I bet bloodcoins will be a world PvP/Siege sort of thing.

One can only hope! :)

Some things from my overly-critical mind:

I was thoroughly unimpressed by water graphics. No rippling, no texture changes, no splashing, looked like there was no movement issue, and combat was uninhibited. Kinda a bummer.

I heard the announcer in that pseudo-english accent and went WTF? also.

But, I did notice for the most part combat looks really engaged and intense. Direction that a character is facing will definitely matter. And GoGo Guardian.
