Your one liners is getting quite annoying, not happy till you get in the your 2cents eh? If I look at your post history almost all of your reply on forums are one line quit useless comments. Look at when you made the account and already have 200+ posts, thanks for making MMORPG.com more of a useless wasteland, my hat off to you sir.

Why do you care?

I thought I made it perfectly clear in the description maybe read the whole thing instead of the first sentence :). Np your mistake it's a common disorder here in the MMORPG.com world.

Actualy i did read the whole thing and I think your post response to his was just as useless, so your actualy kind of supporting what you dont want in the forums.  I just think you must not have much of a exciting life if you get annoyed by things like this on the internet.

So when was pointing out the problem a bad? Plus it was in a well form block of words not one quick sentence like "get out". I'm glad you stopped in for just hijacking the thread about this little problem instead of staying on topic. Care to tell us your insight on the topic?

and your proof is where?

To the OP:

1. I cant comment on this because I have had to graphical problems since release, in beta I did crash every ten minutes, but now I've yet to have a CTD or anything of the like.

2. I play a ranger, I usually woop arse in open world PvP due to stealth + mezzing and then comboing away before the player knows where my arrows are coming from. I would like a link to the stealth nerfs in patch notes cause I don't remember seeing them or any devs talking about. Not accusing you of lying, I'm just wanting to see them myself. I've only played a ranger so I don't know if they are overpowered, but I'm just a ganker so I'll always be overpowered. But I guess you can say Guardians are my weakeness, I don't know if they are yours too but I always have trouble with them. PvP isn't broken, thats a very weird thing to claim because if I do get caught up in a 1v1 no advantage fight, it always lasts long and is very heart-pounding. Especially with the active blocking system, if you verse a class enough, you know the strongest combo and shield that side... Like when people fight me they throw sheids on the top because of Salvo.

3. Server downtimes suck in any game, and yes they kinda do pick dumb hours, but people play all over the world, I think every time zone is covered so they need to pick a time. I'm always at school so that doesn't matter to me.

4. Never had a problem with patch notes and I have no idea what your talking about there.

5. Yea that is very lame, kinda have to agree with you there. But I'm not worried cause I know they will be fixed and right now I'm just enjoying the zones and scenery slowly til lv80... I have no idea why no else does that, maybe people like you aren't as laid back as I and a lot of others, shame.

6. I've never had an animation problem, so you might have read that on one post and decided to throw it in there, otherwise I've heard no troubles of animations, and I don't get the combat arts part of that claim.

7. The UI is perfectly fine... What's wrong with it aside from the chat log... which totally sucks I agree. The whole point of a MMO is to play with others and not having an effective chat log that is nice to look at and actually works is beyond me, I don't know what Funcom was thinking, lol.

8. Post lv50 seems to be extremely lame, I'm sure it is cause that always seems to be the case at launches (high level = crap), but I'm only lv35.

9. Never consulted a GM once, never had any problems.

I don't think that Funcom intended to ignore these aspects of the game, I personally believe that if during the Open Beta instead of complaining to the world about crap in the game, they should have reported bugs and helped try to TEST the game in beta rather than use a free-trial. Now I know I can't only blame them, because I also believe the game was rushed, even if it took 5 years.

Crafting at 40 is completely ridiculous, most games start around 5-10 and it seems rather ironic because in the world of Conan most armors are crafted are they not?... The early access was not limited, the beta was and that was because they didn't want people to ruin the storyline for newcomers. And yea the NDA wasn't lifted cause of the bugs, no doubt about it. And the locking of the forums completely sealed the deal that the game was bugged and was a poor move by Funcom, but smart at the same time.

Now decieving the public, nah. I think there are many signs that say 'This game is not ready' like you stated before with the forums, NDA, limit.. all that. I think they were in over their heads and couldn't handle the heat. No offense to them, the game is broken in a few ways.. but thats it.

For the record, I love the game and despite the few false promises, bugs, and lack of content supposedly at 50+, its awesome... If you are laid back and wanna chop some heads off and watch them roll away, this is your game.

Just a word of advice for anyone thinking of coming to Hyboria.

This game is still in beta, and I would give it a few more months before wasting hard earned cash.  Issues that need urgent attention at the moment.

1.  Performance & Server issues are causing great consternation for many people with system specs that far outweigh the minimum reqs. LIE

Not a lie.  There are issues with the servers and instances crashing.  A developer even posted over on VN AoC boards apologizing for it.  Why?  Because peoplewere loosing EXP when the servers would crash.

2.  Class balance is non-existent, and has just been made worse by recent stealth nerfs to certain classes, and leaving other overpowered classes untouched.  PvP is now broken. TRUE

3.  Long server downtimes scheduled for unreasonable hours. LIE

Again not a lie.   4 - 5 hour downtimes every day or every other day followed by huge patches.   We didn't have these kinds of downtimes in Vanguard even.

4.  Patch notes which don't contain relevant information, and stealth nerfs which cause mistrust and scepticism. OP STUPIDITY

Sorry, but once again the OP nialed it.  Funcom, does not list all the changes made to the game and over on VN we acutally do list the changes.

5.  All crafting is broken, as are guild cities. TRUE

6.  Combat Arts are broken, as are a lot of the animations. COMBAT ARTS? WTF IS THAT?

7.  UI and chat system is horrible.  I would imagine this was forgotten about until a week before release. TERRIBLE EXAGERATION

Wrong again.  There are numerous post reagarding the clunky UI and horribly implemented chat system...in fact they were some of the earliest complaints of players from OB and EA.   That maybe why people are scrambling to get their hands on customized UI's from 3rd parties.

8.  Post level 50, content is poor and grinding becomes the order of the day. TRUE

9.  There are so many GM petitions, that waiting 2-3 days for help is not uncommon.  This in itself indicates the amount of problems this game has at the moment. TRUE

This are some of the major faults with the game, but there are many others which seem insignificant but are plain annoying.

It could be a decent game eventually, but at the moment it flatters to deceive.  Funcom have been extremely clever in a couple of respects.  They have polished levels 1-20 so the customers' first impressions of the game are favourable.  These are usually the only levels that the gaming sites rate the game on as well, because they have other issues and game reviews to move on to.

There was a reason why you can't craft before level 40.  There was a reason why early access was limited to level 13.  There was a reason why the NDA wasn't lifted.  There was a reason why the forums are only open to people who have already purchased the game.

Did Funcom learn anything from previous games they have made.  Yes, they did.  They learned how to deceive the public into paying for their merchandise.  Grats.

 

Oh and BTW:

I think the OP nailed it pretty much...to say otherwise means you are wearing rose colored glasses and refuse to acknowledge that the game has flaws, and is broken and needs some major fixing.

Well your response to him and me had nothing to do with the topic so I dont know how you can tell me to stay on topic.

Because if you look in the beginning I gave my opinion on the matter. I have yet to see yours. I'm quite curious what knowledge you can bestow us.
