Age of Conan

What mmo is ever ready for release? Even WOW had lots of problems at launch lag low FPS of 1 or 2  freezing crashing  unable to login unfunished zones,no high lvl content should i go on? But look at it today yes you only have 1 launch but things can and will be fixed just give them time and they will. I to am one for not paying for a broken product but i came to realize when it comes to mmo's some release with less bugs and stuff than others and most of them shape up to be pretty good. So why so many ppl bashing this one?

Oh btw we will see post like these when Warhammer comes out wait and see OMG this game sucks don't get it. I guess it's just human nature to be short sited and not take the time to see what can happen in time ah well.

Actually WoW had a pretty good OB and launch, the only real game breaking bug was a database one which caused very long lag spikes when looting etc.   If you want a bad launch look at Vanguard, a game that is now pretty much dead in the water and that is directly as a result of how bad it was at launch.

As for Warhammer, yes it's possible that it could suffer the same problems when the time comes but Mythic did something that Funcom didn't, they witheld any mention of a firm release date and pushed back when needed.  Funcom made the error of giving a firm release date and are now having to stick to it, despite the bugs.  All games have backers and AoC is no different, Funcom are not the only investors in this game and when you give backers a release date they expect and usually demand that the box is on the shelves on that date.

Thats because before WOW, people never got to fully experinace the gaming pleasures of today.

The gaming community today are much more demanding and cruel compared to the times wen WOW was released. We have already been spoiled by that game.

Thanks to Vanguard, people are more skeptical and more critical about new MMO's now... 

i still maintain the lotro was an exception to all rules...its technical launch was pretty much flawless

Vanguard is dead and buried because the concept and the technical sides of the game were always screwed. It wasn't about the bad launch but simply because Vanguard sucks - Period !

 

 

Thanks for all your input guys.
