Age of Conan

I have to say this game has been very disappointing.

1. Instances everywhere. You have these giants doors in the middle of the wilderness everywhere. How ridiculous. And you have 5 minute load times to get into these doors

2 . Invisible walls  everywhere. You cannot just roam freely around the world like in other games. You basically have to stay on the road and thats it.

3 The "revolutionary"  combat system is actually just pressing 1,2,3 over and over again.

4. very buggy and crashes all the time. A game 2 weeks from release shouldn't have this many bugs.

5 Very laggy around other people. You need a really good computer to play this game.

6 very poor skill customization. Very few skill to choose from. Can't choose your stats and such

The game has good graphics , but thats about it. It doesn't really have anything else good going for it. I know they haven't shown us the whole game, but this is the part they wanted to show us. And this part isn't very good.

The only thing that could save the game is if the PVP and sieges are really good.  I will have to wait and see on that. I certainly won't be  buying this game now.

welcome to beta test

Very disappointed in the quality of this thread ^^

See, you can't go by what the devs give you, cause they only tell you features, I went on and on about that and all the AoC fans would not take playability into account.  I'm 100% Warhammer for sometime now as I've been following what beta testers have been saying about AoC for a long time, I just hope all the belligerent AoC fans don't switch over to the Warhammer forums, because they have a closed mind.

Geuss not many understand the power of marketing !!!!

If you think the combat system is mashing 1 2 3 over and over I don't think you fully are understanding it.   Also have to realize that your only going to level 13, so don't expect to have 20 different attack moves.  Your complaining that you can't chose your stats?   What was the last MMO that let you do that? Asheron's Call?  You actually do get skill points that can be applied to a number of assorted skills.   Also how slow is your computer that your taking 5 minutes to zone?

EDIT: Nevermind just saw your post history, case closed.

I played for like 5 hours and tried 3 different characters and guess what I fell asleep. Boring ass game, mobs dont animate right at all, engine looks fake in my opinion it resembles Gothic 3 or two moons actually. It looks like it belongs on a console say PS3. Did you ever play Unchartered Drake's Fortune? It kind of reminds me of that engine, plus what is with the complete rip from blizzard with the talent trees (feats lol) and the close up dialogue/cinematic with NPC's (rip off from Bioware's engine, The Witcher, NWN2, KOTOR etc).

The revolutionary combat crap is so generic and gimicky, spam combos with 123, 123 123 over and over ZZZZZZZ, falling asleep now!!!. Sorry this engine blows, game has no soul to it, kudos to Funcom for artwork though not bad but they should have released this on consolees only, too too consoley for me. Casters are a complete waste of time to play. You know why its level cap at 13? It is because the game is not finished yet, it sucks, they know it sucks and they just want to make a quick buck.

I logged back in to WOW and GW and actually had some fun.

BYE BYE!.

All I have to say is that if you had to just play WOW from levels 1-10 it is a thousand times worse then Conan. I also dont understand all of the complaints with loading times. My PC is not top end at all and I ran the game on high graphics and had very minimal loading times. If you are playing on a 5 or 6 year old PC and expect it to run perfectly like your game of Pong then your certainly going to be disappointed. I have not really posted on this site but I have been following this game for a long time. I enjoyed Wow for 2 years but the kids are what ruined it and I am sure they will try to ruin Aoc. I just dont get it, I played all night and did not crash once...nor did I have any of the problems you ran into other then the invisible walls but you will find those in any game.

My fear is that the world will be cutted out in many parts and is going to be instanced. I hope that there will be many instances but i don't like the part where you actually make contents instanced.

I dont like having to see the loading screen everytime i go to a different place.

Game should be called Age of loading screens! LOL. Crap game, what a waste of time, loading screen every two min yey fun!. Funcom just made Blizzard more richer way to go Funcom.

Go waste your money.

/sigh... yeah I'm afraid this is the way it's looking.  I was totally taken back when I first entered the game.  It was beautiful.  Then to find out everything's instanced to make up for those graphics.  I still want to cap when servers calm down and try other chars but I'm not hopeful.
