Age of Conan

after reading through these forums it has become very clear to me that the age of conan beta has some major problems when it comes to working on the significant percentage of mid range machines . i ve also spoken to many people who are in the beta that i know personally and every single one of them report preformance issues with both the open and closed beta clients .

inspite of what you might read not one single person in these forums knows for certain weather the release client will be a vast improvement on the beta .

personally i ve cancelled my preorder because i ve heard enough to wonder weather the release client will play on my mid range system or not . i m not going to say weather i m in the beta or not because of the nda ( you can draw you own conclusions ;) )

i want to like this game . i m sure most of you out there feel the same way . but i think before i spend my hard earned bucks on it i need a free trial so i can see what the actual release client is like .

so given the beta is undeniably making a lot of gamers think twice . does funcom need to offer a free trial sometime over the course of the summer ?

i have a feeling its relative success or faliure is now dependant on one .

Whats wrong with personal opinion lol if he/she doesn t like it and cancels to save some cash and do a wait and see approach? I m doing the same, but enjoying WAR beta too much.

I feel this is a definate wait and see type game. I finally got it working decently buyt still wasn t impressed by the game. After 20 maybe but i like games for pvp first, pve second and well the pvp to me wasn t very good at all i felt.

And yes, the retail client is on my computer actually, is it is for a few others as well by now (about 10k of us):

Yes, it is different from the other clients to a degree, however its not the client that is the cause of the issues, it is people systems and there inability to properly diagnose and account for problems within said system, in order to ensure a quality gaming experience.

Then theres the "I don't want/cant afford to upgrade" group, kiddies playing on 4 year old systems crying about poor performance, unable to tell why there little computer that rocked World of Warcraft with no problems can barely pull 10fps on AoC.

In the end, the problem is pretty easily narrowed down to nothing but user error/accountability,

Have fun grinding honor and rep in WoW, I'll stick to something a little more adult.

Yep will also call BS on the OP.

If you need a trail then just bother someone for a buddy pass when the game is live no need to start a pointless poll on the subject,Also you really contradicted yourself so many time's in your OP that it did make me smile so thanks for that.

Well, from my experiences from the beta...no... i wont be needing the trial to try it out.. ill buy it for sure!

i dont care about the lagg some people are experiencing, or the small bugs or whatever.... I had a great time! yeah sure there were small bugs, some lagg, ganking and shi*, and they will be fixed by launch...some of them anyway... i mean what mmo, at launch, didnt have bugs, lagg and shi*??? It was extremelly fun!!!!!1 And that is the most important thing!

BTW i have:

Intel Pentium 3.00 Ghz

2gb ddr mb

nvidia gforce 8800gts

yadi yadi yada

Oh boy there will be more kids in AOC then you think. Have fun getting ganked over and over. Wow no way will i play that again, i ll wait for a few better games on the horizon.

If you've played beta, then you know what the game is going to be like.  As everyone seems to say, it's going to be a rough launch for AoC.  For a variety of reasons.  So many so, that you just might get your free trial sooner than you think...
