I Wanna Live a Life of
Danger! I Wanna be an AoC Ranger!
As the holidays have come and gone, it's time to continue the regularly
scheduled Age
of Conan class previews. Fresh off our trip to Oslo and the
Funcom studios, the Ten Ton Hammer staffers were full of questions
regarding the Ranger class. In the subsequent class interview, you will
find answers to questions regarding mounted combat, climbing, tracking
and much, much more. Read on for more Age of Conan and Ranger info.
Evan: Yes, we still have a first-person targeting
mode although it is
not the only method of participating in ranged combat. Given the hectic
nature of many of the fights, we felt that not having a "lock-on" mode
would lead to a frustrating experience for the players in some
situations and thus we have included that as an option in addition to
first-person mode. Both modes of targeting lead to a very different
gameplay experience but we will leave it to the player to decide which
they prefer.
