Sums up AoC

[Raven]

Anyway, perfect time for me. The bigger and better than the Xbox version of mass effect is out tomorrow I then lose my internet through moving so can't really play for a few weeks. If its still shit when I come back I will simpley uninstall it and wait for WAR.

The more I read these and other forums, the more I am thinking this is turning out to be Horizons Mk II.

Huge selling point "playable dragons that actually grow and fly!"....not fixed and implemented till a year later.

Ah well, still low level myself, will fool around with it a bit and see what happens.

Here is my constructive feedback:

If you're not convinced that AoC will succeed further, stop playing it now.

[Raven]

Don't get me wrong, trundling about killing mobs and doing quests is decent enough but its not exactly going to keep anyone hooked for hours on end is it? I like my distractions while levelling, go do some crafting, gather some materials, explore a zone etc. Usually after I ding I think what a long way it is until the next level and go do something else for an hour or so. In AoC's case that something else is log off and watch TV

AOC to be blunt has a so so combat system that gets old quick and amazing graphics and the usual kill this go fetch my bone quests.

Sorry but i see dark times ahead for Funcom when WAR/Wrath of Litch king is released.

Nobody can deny the sheer amount of players that will flood back into WoW when that next expansion releases.

aye, i for one wont stay once WOtLK or Warhammer releases.

What i meant was the passive feats which make up a lot of the feats in the HOX line ;/

Atm i find it fun to log in and make peoples life hell by killing them that's about it really.

The /tells make it funny.

And the diffirence with say, DAoC at launch and AoC at launch is?

Crafting sucked bigtime in daoc first few months. Quests was bugged until SI came. Skills was so bugged, anyone rembember unbreakable mezz?. Stealthers not beeing destealthed when oneshotting players wich they did nonestop due to oped damage scaling, and people in rogs/no stats armor. Stats beeing wrong on so many items up until SI, cloth armor with 34% abs bugs.

Seriously the list is so huge it is no point to go on, the point is made. If you do not like AoC don't play it. Wait for WARhammer then if you think that game will deliver ( ha haha ).

When your at it, you might wanna name one single game that has been finished at launch, perfectly balanced and bugfree.

- Obviously the devs should aim for a complete game at release but if it doesn't quite meet those goals it is not the be all end all.

And as a sider, anyone who goes around bitching about not beeing able to quest at 65-80 just needs the head examed. I havn't spent one single level so far not beeing able to cover atleast 50% of an EXP bar. And the rest you just get by making a grind group with AoE dmg and you will get 200k exp / hour.

Maybe this game is just too hard for you guys who feel it is so broken and impossible to level up on.

At 65-70 you can grind up @ Atzel near the Gong of d00m, it is way bugged and instant pops 15-20 mobs wich you can do with 3 poms, 1 conq, 1 tos and a guardian in less then 10 seconds/round. Amazing how hard it is for some people rly.

unlike you sneakers, some ppl pay for mmorpg to have fun, not to show they can achieve in something .

funcom aren't supposed to be some noobs who can't deliver a ready game after running anarchy and developing the game for 5 years.

i would respect their work if they had stability and delay problem since they couldn't test that before the servers were flooded by millions or players.

everyone can understand that doing kill tasks can make loads of xp much faster.
yesterday in a grp of 5 ,mostly tanks, started doing sentries quest and got 100k every 10-15 mins.
@67-68 lvl bar needs 1m xp...
i have done lots of task dungeons in daoc, and i was expecting something more fun and stimulating from aoc

lastly, amazing how easy can you narrow the game to fit your standards rly

i expect you will satisfied, when you pay for full, but you get a half full dish of food, a shirt that has some holes every here and there or a pair of shoes without soles

i really think funcom should charge by the % of the contain

Still does

[Aoami]

I pay for a service and Funcom arn't delivering so far, any other sector they'd be being fined.

how about 7 or 8+ years of improvement in just about everything? could even be longer as i dont know when Mythic started developing DAoC.

when DAoC launced there were what, 2 or 3 other MMORPG's available?

they didnt really have much of any experience with these sort of games. and neither did the playerbase, the scene is a tad different now. and STILL we accept fucking alpha releses as "ready for launch".

i mean, if this would have been how Vista worked out Microsoft would have been so deep down in law suits they would go bankrupt. or any other high demand software.

AoC as it is now is NOT working, even if u can run around and kill shit there isnt THAT much more to do. sieges isnt working, the BG's isnt working (you get pitted as a lvl 20 something against high lvl 30's and vice verca, feats isnt working or just work as a placeholder, quests not available for LONG level ranges, entire zones underdeveloped because ONE got to much attention.

FunCom even stated on the beta boards that levels 21 to 79 were NOT balanced or even half done and were not their top prioritys to get sorted just a few days before release. and their statement 2 days ago to add mid 30's and mid 50's content and zones pretty much confirms it.
