Archief - Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
Het archief is een bevroren moment uit een vorige versie van dit forum, met andere regels en andere bazen. Deze posts weerspiegelen op geen enkele manier onze huidige ideeën, waarden of wereldbeelden en zijn op sommige plaatsen gecensureerd wegens ontoelaatbaar. Veel zijn in een andere tijdsgeest gemaakt, al dan niet ironisch - zoals in het ironische subforum Off-Topic - en zouden op dit moment niet meer gepost (mogen) worden. Toch bieden we dit archief nog graag aan als informatiedatabank en naslagwerk. Lees er hier meer over of start een gesprek met anderen.

Beetje informatie: Athelan (dev) die antwoorde op aantal vragen:
Note: I am going to assume that abbreviations like 1HE and 2HB are short for "one-handed edged weapon" and "two-handed blunt weapon", respectively. If this is not the case, please inform me as this could change everything.
1) As for the general leveling-up of classes, how much control do we get over what skills we learn and what attributes we can raise? Do we have total control, as in Diablo 2, is it all preset based on race and class, as in EverQuest 2, or is it a mix of us controlling what skills and stats we major in AND getting preset boosts based on race and class?
Its a mixture between optional and automatically gained abilities and attribute /skill points
2) In terms of 1HB+shield vs 2HB, do 2HB weapons give a boost in defense at all (as in ES4 Oblivion, where you could still block with a 2HB weapon), or are we left to rely on shield+1HB combos to get a defense boost?
2hb weapons do not give a defense boost, but there are no really defensive 2hb wielders in Conan
3) I noticed in the Class Archetypes page that there are unique weapons classified outside of 1HB, 1HE, 2HB and 2HE. The Scion of Set in particular has access to 1HE and daggers, which puzzles me as daggers could technically fall into the 1HE category. Is there a reason daggers are not included in this category?
Because daggers have their own set of animations.
4) While looking through the Class Archetypes page, I noticed that only the Ranger has bows and crossbows listed under Specialties. Does this mean that ONLY the Ranger can use these, or simply that they're really good at it?
This means that others can use ranged weapons but they dont get any of the cool stuff like area attacks, debuffs, extra damage, sniping mode etc
5) In terms of casting spells, spellweaving or otherwise, how will we aim them? Will we shoot them like bows, or will there only be magic on touch spells? Also, if magic does have range, will the projectiles move at the same speed as an arrow or slower (as in Oblivion)?
Some of each.
6) In the Mage class, it appears that spellweaving is a vital tool for them, but it restricts their mobility. However, it does not say if Mages are forced to spellweave in order to cast magic. Is it possible to just cast simpler spells outside of the spellweaving mechanic to retain mobility?
Spellweaving is only if you want to take the extra time to make special unique powerful combinations of spells, all normal spells dont require you to do this.
7) In reference to the Bear Shaman, I remember skimming over something that stated only Cimmerians can become Bear Shamans... but I cannot find the source, and it is not in the Archetypes List. Is this statement still true, or was it only a figment of my imagination?
I believe you are referring to the original priest archetype page that disccussed the basic class types. I am not sure what the final race restriction will be for the class but they are very Cimmerian at the least.
8) Also in reference to Bear Shamans, it states that they focus on buffs and melee combat, and can transform into a bear. This is a class I will likely become, but the page does not reference any other types of magic. Am I right to assume that the Bear Shaman is basically a Soldier that can heal himself, or does he also have attack spells similar to the Druid of the Storm?
He does not turn into a bear, but is imbued with the spirit of the bear. He is not really a soldier but he is the most melee oriented of the healers and forgoes the nukes of the Druid of the Storm for melee combos and effects.
9) Under the Assassin subclass, they are the only ones that specialize in "restorative elixirs". Does this mean they excel at crafting them, that they are the only class that can use them, or that they get a class bonus for using them (e.g. Assassins get +110 HP from a potion but others get only +100 HP from the same potion)?
Top secret ninja information sorry.

Ja, ooit al is gedaan ja.... Ik geloof geen dev respons op gehad, wel veel geflame van de diehard fanboys dat het gemocapped is en dat het dus realistischer is
Ik vind ook dat het realistischer is, maar vind het ook niet zo mooi ogen. Al ben ik er nu wel al gewend aan... (sinds ze DX10 gebruiken ziet het er ook al pak beter uit imo

In principe wel, we hebben een naam, guildstructuur en praktische afspraken,
maar op het moment zijn we een beetje de kat uit de boom aan't kijken om te zien hoeveel belgen en hollanders er de volgende maanden geinteresseerd geraken in het spel. Ik ben er redelijk gerust in, maar je weet nooit.
ik zal je alvast toevoegen aan de guild lijst

Naughty dog zei:Gaat dat nog door die guild? Zoja, sign me up!
Sir .Killalot zal me wel nog kennen (hoop ik) van in WoW als Theo
Als je wat meer info wil, feel free to ask...
Yow Theo ^^
Welja, de guild zit beetje in de koelkast, door dat er nog wat te weinig interesse is. We zijn nu bezig met het proberen een nedtalige communitysite op te zetten
(waar dan later hopelijk een guild uit voort kan vloeien)Sir.Killalot
