Are you trying to say that there's only one loading screen from the beach to Tortage? Man they must have completely rewritten the game engine during the last 3 days! :)

Actually its been like that since August last year. Im not trying to say ~ I am saying its always been like that.

For someone who cant get beta join dates right, you dont seem good with numbers.

...an innovative and refreshing game.

 

Pardon me for asking, but which part of AoC is "innovative and refreshing"?

/J.

try the fighting system, the entertaining and meaningful storyline, mounted combat, seige pvp, actual need for strategy in pvp, their approach to classes which to me makes them all interesting (even the warriors which i never even attemp to try in other mmos), ofcourse the graphics which to me are really appealing, etc.

Hmm meaningful storyline, been done, mounted combat also been done, siege pvp been done and much better, actual need for strategy in pvp, many games do this, many games have interesting classes, and graphics well this is a matter of opinion if you like them as high or not. Now name one thing thats innovative that you said.

So would you not have a meaningfull storyline ?

Mounted Combat in an mmorpg in realtime ? please point me where else including realtime blocking.

Siege PvP - how the hell do you or anyone else here know if its better or worse than anywhere else?

Strategy in PvP - ROFL - see above.

Of course maenigful story i would want , but whats so innovative. Mounted combat sure i guess you re right, Siege pvp i can t say i know for sure but i think you ll know my answer to this if you read how i feel about player caps in open world pvp. Finally strategy in pvp happens in any game with pvp actually.

I laughed so hard :)

You make several valid points, and I agree, the thing you refer to as "mechanical assembly" is what I called "low budget feel". It kinda feels like most desktop-linux-distros out there - They look great, but are horridly put together.

Lets hope I didn't start an OS war here :/

/J.

That's because Linux is free.  This game is not free and they will correct the problems that people have because  people will stop paying them money.  You just made your post null and void.

 EDIT: To hell with the OS war.

Heh, I never said my analogy was any good! :)

Oh yeah. I also hope Funcom corrects most of the problems, though I'm not sure a lot of people appreciate having to pay a monthly fee just to get bugs fixed..

True you didn't.. also that idiot that said you review was biased because you said people shouldn't buy the game needs to reread the post title "slightly unbiased" .. which is not "unbiased."

Umm, no.  Avery is correct.  Besides the zone actually into the Tortage zone, there is one zone load.  So either you are intentionally lieing to portray the game in a negative way which completely invalidates the title of the thread and your poor attempt at bashing it OR you actually didn't know which means you lied about playing the game as a beta tester and you just have some grudge against AoC because you work for Sony.  Either way it's been like that since beta started and you sir are a liar either way you look at it so why should your review carry any weight?

There will be people that like this game and people that won't.  Personally this is the game I've been looking for since I've left EQ and I guarantee I've tried every large MMO title released since and some have held my interest for a while but I knew in each case that it would be fleeting.  This one has me as well as many of my former EQ guildmates excited and refreshed for something gritty and a bit different.

I will also point out that this game does do things quite a bit differently than the norm.  No, it's not ground breaking but what truly is?  Until I can actually plug my computer directly into my brain I don't think you'll see anything groundbreaking.  All those people that bitch and moan about groundbreaking, what are you waiting for?  What is it that you expect an MMO to do?  Conan is the first game directed at mature audiences which truly is sort of a gamble with all the fetuses playing WoW (and let's hope they stay there).  It will actually have true mounted combat instead of the faux mounted combat that I've seen in other MMO's that have tried.  The reworking of how classes work and not relying on the 'holy trinity' really changes the way combat works.  Collision detection and being able to actually block other players/mobs.  There are a million little things that combine to make this different than the standard MMO fare that is out there right now and maybe it's not earth shattering but it certainy is refreshing, they just didn't
