Age of Conan

I also think people assume that this is the finished product  ***NEW ALERT***  This is not the final product

That is all ...Have a good day

lol, you guys are wasting your time making threads like this, you already know that the loyal fans won't hear it.  my advice to you is wait until the game launches, give it 1 month when a majority of the population is max level already, and then come back here and see the same people praising this game and saying there is nothing big wrong with it are already back to playing their old mmo.

You sir, have not been playing mmo's for long apparently.

When I played the UO beta, I played the same game at launch.

When I played the EQ1 beta, I played the same game at launch.

When I played the DAOC beta, I played the same game at launch.

When I played EQ2 beta, I played THE SAME THING AT LAUNCH.

When I played the WoW Beta, I played the EXACT SAME THING at launch.

When I played LOTRO beta, I played the same thing at launch.

If you think funcom is going to put out some miracle patch in 18 days to change the game that people are playing now guy, you are sorely mistaken.  When the game launch happens and you buy the game, the only difference you will notice is a very very slight increase in performance because the debugger is not running in the background and that's it.

I love how fanboys are so god damn blind.  Funcom could feed them a turd if they wanted and they would eat it.

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. Instances everywhere? I call them ZONES. Little instances and they are well placed. Doors in the jungle? Have you tried to read the quest? They have a reason to be there.

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. As of now all I saw are small scenery, but not found an invisible wall yet. We probably need to wait till release to find how the rest of zones are designed.

3 The "revolutionary"  combat system is actually just pressing 1,2,3 over and over again. I find it Fun. You look where is your enemy defending and you attack the other side. The enemies react to your attacks, changing his defenses from one side to other. It's dinamic, diferent and fun for me.

4. very buggy and crashes all the time. A game 2 weeks from release shouldn't have this many bugs. AMD 3000+ single core. 2 gigs ram, 7900 gs 256. Game runs smooth in low quality, and low quality is awesome looking.

5 Very laggy around other people. You need a really good computer to play this game. I dont find it laggy. Maybe your comp or your conection to internet sucks.

6 very poor skill customization. Very few skill to choose from. Can't choose your stats and such. As of now i only found 3 skills to spend points in, bandage, climbing and hidding. But yeah you are probably right in this one. But somepeople dont like spending points on attributes. In exchange, characters are really customizable using the feat trees.

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Im not a preorderer. Im not a fanboy. I dont know If I'll buy the game when it comes alive. Just wanted to answer.

In response to the ignorant.  Blizzard did not create skill/talent trees.  This isn't even the retail client.  It's a linear game until you get to Hyboria, how many times do we have to smash this into your dumb skulls?  You are playing a tutorial part of the game, up to level 13.

 

It's as if people expect to have 90 different skills to choose from from the start.  Exactly what game ever let's you have every skill in the game before you hit max level?  Anyone?  I didn't think so.  The beta is meant to fix problems.  That is the point, that's why it's called BETA.  I can't stand stupid people.

 

If you are getting bored with this game after 5 minutes, go play WARHAMMER.  Have fun.  I'll stick to a real game.

I'm sorry to blow your bubble, but what you see right now is what you will get.  No major features gets added in BETA.  At this point, all they will fix are crashes and maybe lag.  The rest will be as is.  Until they release their first update.

DX10 support and spellweaving are not major features? Damn, what's a major feature to you? Free blowjob with purchase?

Of course the game is buggy, of course it has issues YOUR THERE TO TEST IT  

 What are you testing? Finding bugs that you can report so they stop mass producing the retail, fix the bugs you find then send it gold again?

This OB is a tool for making money. Fileplanet pays FC a certain amount, FP then turns around and hopes 100k people sub, just to try to get into the beta. Do the math people. If 100k people sub for FP at $8.. Do you honestly think FC would allow FP to make that kind of money off their product for free?!?

This excuse that "it's beta" is really old. Heres a pos beta client to "test", while wesend this more polished client gold.. wow people. Desperation has set in.

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

This is the newbie zones you're in, you're directed intentionally to set goals. My load times are about 30 seconds. Your computer sucks nuts, my computer only cost 500$ with another 50$ invested in RAM.  Everywhere? So you've been out of the newbie areas and were able to go past lvl 13? Plus I remember specifically that the majority of the newbie quests are meant to be played in single player mode, which means instanced.  

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.

See above

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

Well since you've  NOT gone past lvl 13 then you can't comment honestly about the combat system. In all games you've got craptastic attacks for a while, I've made 2 characters so far and I've actually got a decent array of attacks. You activate a combo, watch which key you need to press next and wham, dead MoBs. Maybe you forgot to check your character sheet for new attacks?

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

Yeah, it's called a beta test, every time your client crashes, well depending on the type of crash a message gets sent to Funcom relaying the debugger data to them.  Oh wait, you only signed up to play a free game?

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

Agreed, however the debugger that runs in the background has to process MUCH MUCH more information when you're around other people, so that drastically slows you down. Hey, beta test debugger running in the background to watch for bad shit, who'da thunk doing something like that in a beta test?

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

 You can't play past lvl 13, you DO NOT KNOW what lies beyond that, so basically you're talking out your ass. Plus you can customize your skills, what few you get up to that point. I actually had 5 on my bear shaman by lvl 8. Maybe you should try opening your character sheet?

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.

Your opinions are duly noted, however they have been disregarded because you have failed to open your character sheet.

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.

See above about your opinions

  

I'll be buying the game.

Now heres my issue with that statement. So, your telling me that 2 weeks before their launch they still have many bugs? Thats not encouraging.  That sounds like vanguard. Hell WoW had a pretty polished game (minus the looting lag, which got fixed FAST) and i don't even like them anymore due to raids ... but credit is given where credit is due.

Like i said, my issue is with the people saying "OMG ITS A BETA, THERE IS GOING TO BE LOTS OF BUGS LOL" when its like 2 weeks before it goes live?

Doesn't bode well..
