3.0 PvP and Siege Combat
Posted: - 05.03.2008 Read all about Age of Conan’s exciting PvP system, as well as the elaborate siege warfare.
3.1 What does PvP mean?PvP is an acronym for player-versus-player, which describes combat between players, rather than players fighting computer controlled monsters or NPCs. The opposite of PvP would be PvE, or player-versus-environment, which is used to describe combat between the player and a computer-controlled entity. You will find lots of both in Age of Conan!
3.2 Will the Real Time Combat System also be present in PvP combat?Yes! The Real Combat System is how we handle combat throughout the game. When fighting with other players, you will use the same rules, dynamics, skills, etc., as you use when fighting computer-controlled enemies. To prevent exploits, there may be slight tweaks or limitations.
3.3 So I will be able to fight other players?Yes. Age of Conan has numerous options for PvP players. There will be PvP minigames like Capture the Skull, as well as massive siege PVP battles over Battle Keeps. Additionally you will be able to do drunken brawling, fighting for your honor in the bars of Hyboria. For those who just can’t get enough PvP, there will also be special PvP-focused servers with slightly different rulesets.
3.4 Can everyone attack anyone or are there limitations?Fighting between players is consensual, because it is limited to certain areas of the game world. If you want to avoid PvP combat, all you have to do is avoid these areas (and the PvP server).
The Border Kingdoms is the main region for massive PvP combat, and this is where player guilds will fight over ownership of battlekeeps.
The PvP servers will have their own special rulesets.
3.5 What is the Border Kingdom?King Conan has opened up the bothersome Border Kingdom for expansion, and several individuals in his court will sponsor settlements in this region. This means that players can set up their own persistent battlekeep—a castle, in other words—in these areas. This battlekeep must be defended against other guilds, as the battlekeeps are limited in number and can provide rare and valuable resources to the guild that controls them.
The Border Kingdom is the “Wild West” of Hyboria, a deadly, lawless place where it is wise to ride carefully.
3.6 So the Border Kingdom is the only place for PvP?No, there are other areas to engage in player-versus-player combat but the Border Kingdoms are the only place you can take part in siege PvP. For instance, you can play one of our PvP minigames or take part in a drunken brawling minigame where you can slug it out in the taverns. In general, though, other players will not be able to harm you outside the Border Kingdom. Obviously, this doesn’t apply on a PvP server.
3.7 What are battlekeeps?Battlekeeps are structures that players can build and maintain in the Border Kingdom. There are a limited number of areas where these can be built, though, and it’s a certainty that other guilds will come and try to take it from you (or even destroy it completely) through the use of siege engines. By using collected resources such as iron, stone, and wood, players can improve these battlekeeps, building walls and other buildings to aid in the defense. It is also possible to add computer-controlled guards to your building.
3.8 But I’m in a small guild! We don’t have the manpower to hold something like that.Building, maintaining, and defending a battlekeep does take a lot of resources and manpower, and it’s not something every guild has the capacity to do. Spread over the Border Kingdom, you will find something we call towers, which function like mini-battlekeeps that can be captured and held by smaller guilds. While they do not give the same benefits as battlekeeps, it will definitely be worthwhile to control these structures, as well.
3.9 How can another guild capture a battlekeep or tower?Very few people want to stand on guard duty for twenty-four hours, so there will be specific periods when a battlekeep is open for attacks. The attackers will then have to bring down the defenses by any means possible! For more on sieging and city building, please see this article.
3.10 Is siege PvP combat only available in the Border Kingdoms?Yes, Siege PvP combat will only be available in the Border Kingdoms. The players can also build structures in resource and harvesting areas, but these will not be open for PvP warfare at launch.
3.11 What would be the benefits of getting involved in PvP?Control of resources for your guild and crafters, special abilities for advancing in PvP levels, potential cash bonuses for signing on as a mercenary (depending on what the guild hiring you wants to pay), crushing your foes, getting your name on a leaderboard, bragging rights, fun. You’re certainly not required to get involved in PvP, if that’s not your thing, but it will have lots of nice to have (but not mandatory) benefits.
3.12 So there are PvE and PvP advancement systems?Yes. There are twenty different PvP levels in addition to the normal skill levels. You gain PvP levels by fighting battles with other players and opening new PvP levels gives you special feats and abilities.
3.13 Is PvP the endgame in Age of Conan?Yes and no. We certainly anticipate lots of PvP for guilds who want to partake! But there are also plenty of other things to do. The wide world of Hyboria is open to exploration, and we guarantee you hours upon hours of adventure through some of the most fantastic areas you’ve ever seen. There are quests to complete, raids to run, dungeons to be explored, and all sorts of things to do even at the highest levels of the game. The end is only the beginning!
13.0 City Building, Player Cities, and Defense
Posted: - 05.03.2008 Read all about how player guilds will be able to build cities and then defend them against enemy invaders.
13.1 Will there be player-built cities in Age of Conan?Yes. Guilds will be able to build entire cities and there will be both PvP cities (such as the battlekeeps and, to a lesser extent, the towers) and PvE cities (player-built cities in areas where you cannot PvP).
Once a guild is rich and powerful enough, it will be able to purchase a plot of land and start building a settlement. However, this can be a time-consuming and expensive task, requiring a lot of effort on the guild’s part, but the rewards will certainly be worth it.
13.2 Where can we build player cities?There are designated areas in the world where you can build player cities. It is not possible to pick just any place to build a city (as this tends to lead to a wilderness filled with empty, neglected player cities).
13.3 How many player cities can there be on one server?With dozens of guilds wanting a city of their own, there needs to be a system in place to prevent overcrowding and make sure everyone gets a place to build, which is why we’re using instancing for these areas. However, for the battlekeeps and towers (the PvP buildings) in the Border Kingdom, there will only be a limited number per server.
13.4 How does the process of building a city work?Once your guild meets the requirements and have the plot of land purchased, you can start building right away. However, buildings will require resources like iron, wood, and stone to build, while the architects in the guild will have to focus on getting the buildings built and in place.
13.5 What sort of buildings will you be able to construct?All sorts of them. For example, walls might be a good idea for a battlekeep with rampaging players running around, while your guild’s crafters may appreciate the higher-end crafting buildings (since it will make their lives easier), and so on.
13.6 Can we own both a battlekeep/tower and a player city?Yes, though it will take a lot of time, effort, and materials!
13.7 What are the benefits of owning a player city?Status, certainly, but it also provides a gathering, meeting, and socializing place for your guild, and many of the higher-end crafting skills and recipes will require the buildings in a player-owned city to construct.
