Age of Conan

*Warning, long post ahead*

1. The mail system is broken. This is the one that made me cancel my account. I lost 2 gold when I sent it from one character to the other, and after waiting 3 hours for a petition, when it was my turn the petition was closed. No words, no "We're sorry we can't reimburse gold that was lost due to our buggy game mechanics", no NOTHING.  /quit

2. Skills are broken.  Perception, run speed, endurance, and god knows what else is broken. Also, some combos are broken.

3. Stats on items are broken. At least, this is what most people think. We dont know, because Funcom has never responded to this issue even though it comes up 20 times a day on their forums. If the stats on items AREN't broken , then what they change is so insignificant, then they might as well not have any stats at all. The only stats we know are working are stamina and wisdom, they both increase the maximum health/mana pools respectively.

4.Mounts are buggy. Fighting on horseback isnt really an option at this point, it's so completely buggy that they should have left the mouts out until they were fixed ( imo sieging is probably not in-game because of this reason, it's probably buggy as all hell too.)

5. Many quests are broken or get bugged out. Enter the Pyramid, The Wounded Child, The Emerald Guardian, etc. Also some quests will only work in epic mode, and it doesn't tell you that you need to do them IN epic mode. The level 60 destiny quest also is notoriously buggy.

6. Some higher-level quests are exploitable. I'm not going to go into details on this one, but let's just say that with these exploits you can easily get 6 or 7 levels in a very short time.  You want to know how there are so many level 80's? Uh huh.

7. Crafting is broken.  And when you can actually craft weapons or a piece of armor, they end up being not worth the hassle of making.

8. The customer service is without a doubt, the worst CS I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing. See #1.

9. Features advertised on the box that aren't in-game, noticably sieging. I will make a bet with anyone that they will release sieging in an expansion pack, just like they did with Anarchy Online and Notum Wars.

10.Minimap gets bugged out, can't see teammates on your radar unless they are within a ridiculous distance.

11. Constant lag spikes that make your ping go over 10,000. I don''t think anyone playing the game can deny this one, unless it's just on the server I used to play on. (Cimmeria)

12. The latest patch introduced so many bugs, it's not even funny. Mobs disappear when theyre 2 feet away from you, stamina potions that can be used over and over again (everlasting stamina potion bug), everlasting mez bugs that force you to log out. I dont know about you guys, but if I play a game and the only way to fix a problem is to log out and log back in, I lose interest pretty quickly.

13. The mobs get bugged out easily. I'm sure you've seen it - a creature or NPC will be flailing his arms, looking like he's swimming on land. It's ridiculous and not something Ive ever experienced in any other online game. (I wont call this game a MMORPG, it's not.)

14. The armor looks crappy. This game was supposed to have over 1400 armor sets or something. Well, it might. Too bad they gave 95% of them to the NPC's, and made a level 20 looks the same as a level 60. Seriously, the level 40-50 guards in the Noble District, the Black Dragon guards, have cooler loooking armor than a level 80 does.

I'll stop here before my post becomes ridiculously long. I will be surprised if this game retains half of the people who bought the game. That's just my opinion though. Most of these things posted above, however , are not opinions. They are what's really going on.

I guess it was fun for 2 weeks, so I'm not bitter. But I would never pay another 15 bucks to this unfinished, buggy as all hell game. Thanks for reading!

all problems that will be fixed eventually didnt you read the letter? have some patience it will be a good game just wait.

Please tell me that was sarcasm.

A good size list and I am sure there could be more, but I will comment on a few.

2. Not really sure on this one but I can say that they are working differently then before the last patch.

3. This is definately a big question so I would agree, we do not know what is working or not with stats.

5. Totally agree with this, and yes the quests you pointed out are definately BUGGED.

10. This I think they are still working on, at least now we get something, before the last patch all we even got to show a group member was a tiny silver dot.

12. Not really sure if the last patch was good or bad, I did see a difference in my character inner workings (not for the better) but as far as some of the other bugs you mentioned I havent really experianced any of them.

I have to say, I agree with most of what is on this list.  Funcom really should have considered taking yet another delay on there release date rather then releasing half there game, thinking that people would wait patiently for it to be fixed.

After getting to number 5 i stopped reading.  Those are 30-40s quests.  Give the game more of a chance.  When you get to 60 or 70 I'll give you more room to talk.

And I only made it to level 56. I don't have time to play all day, although I really wish I did. I could have never made it to 60's or 70's anyways, the constant bugs would have killed me long before then.

Hmm, not really sure I could agree with your comment, why should a player have to wait till max level to mention bugs in a game? That doesnt make sense to me at all.

same goes to why should you pay for a game that isnt even finished, or doesnt have what it is even advertising.
