Age of Conan

Because this means one of several things:

1. You really, truly, do not like the game for some reason only you are privileged to. To me this is odd because there are so many other games out there - mmo, pc or console based - that suck even worse than AoC. You feel a need to let the world know why this game is bad, and you do just that by flaming everyone related to it.

2. AoC is surprisingly good and is a real threat to your favorite game - may it be WoW, LoTRO, Everquest, GW or what ever - so you feel forced to try and push it down into the ground. You need for people not to like AoC so they can continue playing your favorite instead.

3. You simply do not care about the game one way or another but you love to indulge yourself in the spirit of forum posting. You love hacking down on games just to create a reaction.

Maybe there are more, sure there are, but i might be close to one of which that you represent am i not? Ladies and gentlemen, start you flaming!!

Because of the amazingly idiotic unprofessional claim by AoC game designer that AoC is a steakhouse while Lotro/WoW are McDonalds.

Or because the game was nowhere near as good as they tried to advertise it and it fell horribly flat in the pvp department yet this was supposed to be the game that saved the true pvpers? There is so much that is borked with the game that people are frustrated they payed for it or wasted a free month?

People hate this game more because they were lied too about its content, there are worse games yes, but this is the latest in a long line of MMO rubbish that has come out and people are pi**ed of with how rushed out this game was. I also think people are more enraged by Funcom as a company than Conan as a game.

This is complete crap, I could'nt care less what people play. And to be honest I doubt Conan will do much to reduce any of these games subscriptions in the long run. I would even say the opposite is happining and people disgusted with Conan are going back to other MMO's to get their fix. Look at Vanguard for instance lots of people coming back, who played AoC.

I did care about the game, I played the OB and thought this was going to be good game. Got the retail and played through it, gritted my teeth through the bugs and gradualy relised what a shallow and empty game this was. Forums go two ways, if this was a forum just praising the game and ignoring every issue and complaint people had, what a boring place it would be.

Maybe there are more, sure there are, but i might be close to one of which that you represent am i not? Ladies and gentlemen, start you flaming!!

If people feel the game sucks, that's fine. Let them post their opinions. Thats what forums like these are meant for. Troll posts are the main reason I keep coming back to forums such as this. I can see how this game was such a big let down to so many people. It sure did come up lacking in the end. Many broken promises from funcom so yeah, in that way the game does kind of suck. Dont really like your post OP :(

4. You're such a fanboi that Funcom grants you +1 fanboism which is a "trait" that lets you oversee all the major problem pitfalls. Rock On!

Hmm. I think the OP was aiming at people like you guessing by the way you just used some LOTRO term to badly make a point. Anyway you just helped prove him right so nicely done. 

I see this kind of reactions everywhere. People, like the most of you who are upset, need to vent it onto others. That's normal i guess since we all do it.

I just love the posts where people write that they quit the game for whatever reason. They feel compelled to let everyone else know that they did just that, what they think is wrong with the game (which is great but really has no effect) and in the end they are the once ending up looking like the fool.

I'm not saying that you people shouldn't share your thoughts or concerns for any topic, but seriously, which MMO or almost any other game out there had zero problems at its release?

I'm not a "fanboi" (or troll for that matter) because that implies so much more. I enjoy the game, yes. It has problems, annoying bugs and what not... YES! But when it comes to game play, animations, graphics, player control and a lot of other things - the game is the first MMO to capture my interest since WoW and before that, SWG.

Everyone says AoC is such a let down but in the end, they all seem to base it on all the current bugs and problems. It will get better, give it some time. As for PvP... the game does have a lack of it yes which might be a main issue for some of you. But if we compare it to let's say WoW, they too started of with world-pvp which almost disappear when the battlegrounds arrived. Battlegrounds in my opinion are great fun and is something i really miss. In SWG we had these large PvP areas - great fun too.

I love pvp in AoC but that's only when I am in a group with my level 80 assassin, solo pvp is not viable.

The game has unique combat and that's the most important thing for me because that's what I'll mostly be doing anyway, I couldn't care less about crafting and resource gathering but I am still doing it because of guild city and battle keep.

The problem though is the hype FunCom placed on the game. And we weren't expecting it to be WoW PvP, we were expecting the PvP they advertised. You know, the pvp they said would be massive and just weeks before launch one of the Developers was on recording saying "hundreds of players" and the only way the public found out it was less than "hundreds" which would be 200 or more, is because a player in the open beta took a screen shot of the in game manual. Without him the let down would have been even larger.

Also, it was the first day of early access before we found out that they would not have DX10 ready for the game despite it being advertised as a Games for Windows game. So two major things right there within days of launch were found to be absent from the game, and they were two of the big selling points. Massive battles and Dx10 graphics. Now we have a very pretty game but lets face it, we want dx10, and instead of massive battles we have 8 players on each side added to an AV WoW battle. It isn't Age of Conan that is the root of the reason I don't want to play, it is FunCom. They are just really bad at addressing problems and were the same exact way when AO launched. It takes them a while to get their act together and I won't be fooled into purchasing another game of theirs
