Age of Conan

First of all I'm in both the open and closed beta. The closed beta is running the most recent version of code and the open beta is running code that is almost 2 months old or at least until the patch tonight.

This is the stupidest thing I ever have heard of!

First of all "OPEN BETA" is like an OPEN HOUSE. Now you wouldn't have an open house is your house is not clean, the lawn hadn't been mowed or the house smells like cat poo... But aparently Funcom doesn't mind.

To invite the public into an open beta and not run the most current code is just stupid! In fact I would call it SOE stupid!

Fact open beta does NOT play like closed beta.

Fact is this stupid move by Funcom

I agree I dont understand the thinking here. but  there would still be all the haters no matter what build was offered. and yes the closed beta is alot and I mean  alot better.

Well, let us see. Majority dislikes open beta due to techincal issues, and that is not counting gameplay concepts. Those that claim to be in closed beta seem to be split on the issue, some claiming it is completely different while others claiming it is exactly the same.

I give more credit to the naysayers as they are stronger in numbers and their reports match.

And that is not to mention the fact that AoC is a horribly linear, zoned game aimed at ushering people endgame in big guilds for both PvE and PvP.

The "open" beta isn't really open... I think they only care about the publicity Fileplanet will do for them because there are many people who won't get into beta but have now heard of the game (which they wouldn't without Fileplanet).
 That seems to be the main reason for the "open" beta... not actually showing their game.

So is it confirmed that they will be brining open beta in sync with closed beta tonight?

Nope but why else would they patch it? Why patch older code unless it's newer? Guess we will see

Just look around at many forums, the so called miracle build this closed beta is, is not better by ALOT of testers as well. WHy should anyone beleive what you say and not the ones saying it s crap. All the OB people got thrown at them is crap. So do i take your and a handful other people on here defending this game like it s the holy grail, or other peoples take on it which is the exact opposite. Neither, i ll take what i have and access it. This means it s crap simple a that. Wheres Funcom out here defending it or are you few the only line of defense these boards have? It s really one dumb move on their part.

 Majority you say prove it.  There is a poll here that states; its 2 to 1 that  like the game so where is this majority you speak of.

The fact that %33 say they dont like it is enough . Thats alot of possible subs they re losing initially and maybe forever. Its ok your game will be fine but it won t have the potential customer base it could have if you didn t have such a piss poor company running it.

the majority of the people enjoy the game. It's the people who have something to accomplish by bitching that make noise here.

Listen to CB global chat on any server...you hear one or two people bitch per day. The rest of us love the game.
