    Another guild centered game that's going to go almost nowhere real fast.

    Sounds like the best class/archtype system to date.  Interesting class names can't wait till we get more info in the coming months.

     It seems that the more information that is revealed about this game, the further it is moving away from anything resembling a game about the Hyborian age that Robert Howard wrote about, for anyone who was interested in it for that reason.
    With the paladin type classes, and the priests healing in combat I think this is going to end up feeling more of a d&d fantasy type setting. Not saying that it is necessarily going to be a bad game, with the combat system they described it should be quite fun, but too many things included that really have no place in a Conan game.  A dissapointment to those who were hoping for something different.

    The paladin is out of place, it's obviously there to lure the average gamer in. If you have a better solution to healing in combat, I'd like to hear it.

    I think that's the point. Healing in combat is out of place in the Hyborian Age. ;)

    You are gonna have to be flexiable with the lore a little bit.  I am very much looking forward to this game, but I love to play hybrid classes.  Please dont take that away from me
