Amazing how many people don't like this game  but they just cant stop thinking about it. I have a feeling some of you will be back after Warhammer is released. Until then, hasta la vista.

why?

 

war beta is more complete AND polished now than AoC is right now (trust me on this)

if they manage to somehow fix the incredible amount of missing features and bugs then maybe

they still have 75% of content to add to live up their bold statement that the world was as large as WoW w/o expansion

have fun

 

No it is not

War beta is executed in a way you can just experience a really small part of the game, the performance is not optmized and if you try to judge War just for its beta you will have a very incomplete experience.( I really cant say more about it )

Someone that say that he experienced more content is War beta than AoC at the release is a lier.

No one should trust in you, when you lie about AoC and War beta you are just hurting both games.

First, there is no reason to use lies to let a game you dont like down.

Second lying about War shows you are not a serious tester, and this is as negative to War as your lies about Age of Conan.

 

...

if you read my text carefully you can see that i never said WAR was bigger than AoC

 

i said that WAR is more polished than AoC is now. <end of sentence>

i have nothing more to say

 

What I said was a reply to your "is more complete and polished"....

I still have the same opinion about your words and attitude.

...

To the OP: Your an idiot.

Well first things first, way to give valid reasons WHY your not subbing, and WHY you think that it will fail, and HOW they lied to you...

Second thing, you haven't responded to defend your so called 'argument' so you basically just wanted to start a flaming contest. Well done, all of your posts that I read from now on will be disregarded. See ya!

Speaking of the community, there are 2 sides... Pro  /  Con. all the cons say "Boo, bugs, game sucks" while the pros say "No, the game is actually really fun".. maybe there are a couple people in between but either way.... NO ONE (and if there is someone, they're dumb) has taken ANY pro/con posts into care beyond that thread.... If a million told me the game sucked, I wouldn't just change my entire view of the game

You guys have to realize, whether your defending or attacking the game... No one is replying except to agree or simply disagree, and no one is crossing over the line. Its a stalemate, get over it everyone.

Two weeks till this game will be judged on the subs.   Im sorry to say there is simply no way in hell that I will reniew at this point.  Funcom is probably right now starting their next PR campaign to try to get ppl to subscripe next month but who belives one word of what these guys say now ?   They have conned, cheated and lied about the game and its content from pretty much day one.

Im just gonna make sure that I chancel my acount in time cause I simply dont trust this company for not charging me automaticly.  It seems like thats gonna be their way to get some extra subs.

 

I can't wait, I'm sad they'll not be giving AoC money, but the community doesn't need you.  Bunch of whiny spoil children who have no job or life besides getting to the max level and looking for bugs. 

Ok, little child, you have this all backwards.  The people who work cherish their money and want quality goods for the money they spend.  Little jobless kids don[t care about anything unless they are comparing to other games.  What they get is free, and they spend their time playing the hell out of a game and uses ever bug to their advantage to become top tier. 

We paying adults also work to reach top tier but we want quality products. 

-When we see Direct X 10 on the damn box we expect Direct x 10 because we spent money to build our computers to handle this damn game. 

-When we preorder and were told we get Early Access, we expect that; not a CHANCE for early access.  We were told we would get it and we wanted it. 

-When the game says epic skill based PvP, using a new combat system; we want that.  We don't want a gimpled combo system that hinders PvP while an overpowered archer point blank shoots us with his easy mode arrows or priest 1 hit kill us with nukes that are more powerful than a mages.  Where does the skill come in when trying to fight this crap?

-When I'm told that all I need is a 2 gigs of ram, duo core proccessor, and a 8800 vid card to run the game at high settings smoothly, I expect that.  Right now I run at the lowest settings and it is still choppy.  with a record 12fps.  The worst part is the game runs better on single core somputers like a Pentium 3 or 4.

Maybe you like wasting your money and monthly fee to beta test for an X-box 360, but when WAR comes out I will definately be switching now.  If WAR sucks I'm not coming back here.  I'm going to Wow, because I know Blizzard polishes their garbage.

You do realize that theres loads of beta testers that frequent these forums?

To add to those who have detailed the deceptive marketing that led to many being sorely let down (granted that many obviously find the good stuff to be good enough for them), I will add what I think is the biggest fib Funcom told.  They clearly implied that the instancing in the game was limited to two parts of gameplay: certain quest types, and the early part fo the game in general (a la the opening sequence of lotro).  Whereas what has been offered is servers that are constantly split into shards for the sole purpose of limiting the number of players in a given area who are able to interact with each other/cohabit the same environment.  In other words, what was sold as a creative approach is primarily a way of minimizing cost and effort at headquarters.  Wow had some serious lag for quite a while early on (especially for thsoe of us without amazing machines), but they didn't make Ironforge an instance to solve it, they spent money and time on fixing the problem over several months (granted they were not always forthcoming about what was going on, often blaming players ISPs or computers). 

This problem is clearly related to the FPS problem that many cite:  the game is pretty but doesn't run well for most people.  It can't be a game with a large subscriber base in the longrun, AND a game that will only run on what are currently elite computers, that's a silly expectation if it was what Funcom thought would happen.

I've been playing AoC since open beta and have been loving it.  It has been the best launch of any MMO that I've experienced, and I give Funcom a lot of props for building a really beautiful and subtly different game.

 

To the OP or anyone who agrees with the OP - would you please detail your complaint regarding "they have conned, cheated and lied about the game and its content from pretty much day one"? 

 

Female Alts recover from combos slower than male alts.

I cancelled my account 7 days after starting the game...

What a horrible waste of money

Funcom is, unlike other MMO companies, traded in the stock-exchange; as such, they are obliged to give out quarterly reports on their financial numbers, and i would believe that would include subscriptions (or rather, revenue from subscriptions).
