i swear some of the uber-fanboys of this game are paid employees of Funcom...

 

Fanboy... hm maybe. I just freak out when I see this crap.

I bought 2 accounts in Tabula Rasa and I closed my accounts after one month why? I bought Lineage II... I activated it and played 2 levels after that I closed game and never played it again why? do u realy want to read all this whining? I think not.

If he doesn´t like this game why he doesn´t sell it? out there is lot of people who want to buy account.

If he want to start playng again he may buy it again.

peace.

travelling and constantly running through grey zones is probably the most annyoing part for me too. once you get to ~ lvl 40 you end up running through connel's valley every time you want to get to fields of the dead (why could there be no direct way through this zone, why do i have to follow the stupid ways) so often that you soon cannot stand it anymore.

and zone connection maps look like the running will only get worse with higher levels as the dungeons and adventure zones are all very split up. i really think this game needs a griffin like transport system, i guess griffins don't fit lore, but they could make it horsestations instead between which you can automatically travell for a small fee.

its called die and port to Cascade falls. Death penalty aint worth a damn. But i wanna know what game you dont have to run through at least one zone to get to another higher level zone. EQ ran everywhere till POK but then you still run everywhere just got ports to cites. WoW didnt play long enough to find out haha sorry ass EQ carbon copy with DAoC features. Asherons call yeah your running everywhere. Vanguard OMG yeah just put your hiking boots on because your running or at least gonna be on a horse that runs a little bit faster. well list goes on im sure so your complaining is your own failures to think that a new game should have all these features that dont even exist in other games. get over it.

First of all, did I ever mention WoW in my posts here? So don't bring this up in here. I never compared AoC to WoW so go troll away... I didn't even compare the game to ANY other game...

 

If you don't like what you read because you are in denial, go play and don't come here and trolls people because they don't see things the way you do. You like the game? Great!! I'm sooo happy for you, now go away and have fun.

 

You must compare or you just whine how bad it is. And u may troll here and I cant.. why?

first I watched Youtube, read all this crap how bad it is before I played it.. and it doesn´t change my opinion? In fact u can´t find anythin but whining in forums, u scare away ppl.

If u make new thread "this game sucks"
 then you must tell other people who come here and read u post WHY it or WHAT sucks MORE than some XXX MMO.

THEN they can decide is it worse then other MMO´s what they have played.

"they don´t see things way you do"

 THEY MUST DESIDE NOT YOU!

And WTF my mother concerns u little punk?

Take your meds Freak. He didnt title the post "This game sucks" and he did explain his reasons. Learn how to read.

S

In wow has missions where u must run/fly one continent to another and back... quite long road.

I appreciate the OP's reasoning, even if "Good Bye" threads are never well-received on forums.

At the end of the day, AoC looks good, has a "different" (I'm now leaning away from innovative) combat system for Melee and Ranged combat, but otherwise fails in many ways to learn from its MMO predecessors.

As the devs have stated before, they HAD to use instancing due to the textures used; trying to stream out the amount of graphical data in a seamless world would have been too much for the client and even high-end machines to handle. There's something to be said about graphics overtaking fun in my mind.

In my mind, the way to handle instancing is as such: The world should always be a single instance. All of the cities, overworld areas, etc. This keeps the feeling of a "world" and shows population, keeping things social. Does this mean fighting over resources/spawns/etc? Of course! However, dungeons should come in two flavors: standard and instanced. Keep the standard dungeon as a free-for-all (a la EQ1 and DAOC initial dungeons), but also allow people to "spawn" an instanced version for their own group. Raid-class dungeons should always be instanced - for sanity's sake.

the leaning away from the combat system is because laziness is starting to sink in. The combat system is what makes AoC better then the rest. Till now only casters had the pleasure of this. As for instances omg is this all the haterz have against this game. Leave seriously the game doesnt need peasants crying every five seconds cause of 100 cap instances. The instances are a cheap way to get what items you want but in the end they help performance. If they had everybody in the same zones the game would collapse and would be another EPIC FAILURE like VANGUARD.

Ya know you can turn off the indicators or somethin, I don't know it gives you the freedom to quest how you'd like but if you like prolonging the experience by having to search for the location of the quest in general, thats your thing, but a few of your issues involve giving the devs time to finish the game, its only been out 2 weeks not even and you expect it to be 100 percent complete, i'm sure instancing will become less frequent, they probably have them therre so servers don't crash, and also my guild scrimmaged with another guild and there was massive amounts of lag, so until they work out some performance issues and server issues instancing will probably be pretty bad, but eventually I'm sure they're going make it less frequent or change the player limit per instance.
Also have you tried pvping or do you just quest?

The game isn't balanced at all in PvP. Healer class isn't good at all.

All classes should not be balanced. You should expect a healer to get completely devastated by a warrior. It's complaints like this that lead to nerfs and then everyone hating the game.

That is a carebear statement.
