Bitching and moaning about a game that hasn't been released yet (and therefore, hasn't been played in its entirety,certainly not enough to form concrete, lasting opinions about it) is alot like a rocking chair.

It gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere.

 

Except that some of us are in beta and have a pretty good idea of what the game is going to be like at launch

 

Good how I wish this game justified its hype.  Beta is in a very very very poor state.

If this is your contention, is it possible to say why without breaking nda?

I got the hope control my thoughts again

I will never hope for this game until i have it in my hands.

?

grr...

I promised myself not to get excited about another MMO, but the beast must be fed, and the truth is that despite my best intentions I am getting excited about this, and have preordered. It seems to offer so much of what I want... number one being meaningful world pvp (why oh why has that been so hard to make)... although I am still a little suspicious of videos with mobs sitting around like lemons waiting to be aggroed.

Anyway, AOC, you are the next big hope.

So a message to Funcom: please be real!

Or else, well... um...  nothing, but I'll be let down yet again, and that's a shame for me at  least.

I really couldn't stand another bug-infested, bore-fest.

Sounds like the OP just failed to make sure his sub was properly canceled and is now trying to take it out on SOE by trashing other games they are invovled with.

This has nothing to do with FLS or the POTBS game... which for all I know is the next big thing - and is certainly worth applauding for its efforts to break new ground.

Anyway, I think this thread has outlived its useful life (if it ever had one) so am deleting the OP.

anyway, take it anyway you like - I prefer to give companies my money when they talk to me. When they ignore me I tend not to want to give them my money. Simple. Point is - I am saying that you should not expect SOE to talk to you if you have an issue with them.

Decent people, way I see it, don't charge you for services not rendered. If you decide to take an "it's dog eat dog" attitude to business, well, good luck. No doubt anything is justified under that philosphy. But plenty of business don't work like that, and gain a solid clientele on the back of approachability, decency, consistency.

"Most assinine complaint ever?" Interested to hear you think that SOE has behaved decently in this case. Glad I am not your customer is all I can say.

 

 

You know what would be a great MMO?  One that had a single developer for every single player they signed up.  That way, everytime you cried your little girl tears, you'd have someone close at hand with a box of kleenex to wipe it from your little gamer eye.

 

hehe - you are funny! (and a wee bit grumpy, but we'll let that pass)

any chance of posting a shorter video?

But I am interested in this change... as a druid lover I feel you pain on the one hand, but on the other am glad to see some  fresh ideas thrown into  the class

All these trolls are saying how the game sucks and no one will play and its doomed etc..

Tell me then, why are over 340 people browsing the official forums at  9:30 at night 4 days before the game even makes gold.

I plan on being in the game at launch.

I understand the game doesn't appeal to some people,  its almost all about pvp and economy..

Then again theres a lot of people like me that want exactly that in a game.

To the rest of you im sorry you cant JUMP over objects, your going to have to settle for fantastic graphics, hard core well thought out pvp, and one of the few mmorpg's with a complicated player driven economy.

 

 

I just found some of the land missions truly awful... like playing a decade old game. Have they improved at all? What are the prospects for avatar missions do you think?

That's a great post.  Do you want to try another one that actually says something?

Ho hum.. I kind of fancied being a lich - it was a wonderfully gruesome kind of class, that to me set AoC apart from other MMOs more than other classes. But there you go... tis the nature of things

In every MMO I have played, the game begins at end game. So I agree with you, however, I would say level 30 is "mid-game, my reason for this is that you only then get your final class, so it's another step to learn. End game would consist of about 48-50 as in most games, its only about there where you can participate in true endgame content.

 

My general experience is the levelling up is full of the joy of a new world, discovery, mystery... end game is a matter of running the same old content again and again and again for marginal increases in gear. If you get to see it, that is, as most of the end game content requires an organised guild to play it.

Chaos will see their codpieces grow longer

Open RvR for sure... So much more room for random lunacy. I just pray they leave room for it to really happen... without a million NPC guards spawning or some such.

On the one hand you have the juggernaut that is WoW; on the other a veritable procession of relative failures, and real failures, one after another.

I scratch my head wondering why. Maybe the truth is that a number of the 'failures' are perfectly respectable ventures in their own right.. but I do find it interesting that nothing has even touched on a tenth of wow in almost half a decade now. No other genre has seen such a serious drought, with the exception of one towering giant.

Why do good MMOs appear to be such a challenge? Why do they for the most part seem so far behind the best of the single players and multiplayers in terms of graphics and gameplay? Are they really that much harder to make? I assume they must be...

I am just puzzled. If AoC and WAR don't live up, well... I wonder if WoW will be remembered as this extraordinary bright flame that was the MMO boom of the mid 2000s, that then disappeared for another decade.

I cancelled.

I am willing to swallow the initial insult  that I bought  a broken game, although the simple fact is I was sold something that was rubbish, and Sony knew it. That is really disappointing from a major game company, given how great so many games are these days. Anyway, that's the nature of this industry I guess; we game addicts just have to suck it and wait for the good ones.

But the real insult is the total lack of any response to my complaints at paying for a service I did not use after I cancelled and uninstalled. Nada. Zip.

There are no humans at the other end of the line.

I hate that enough from my telephone company, but from my hobby? Meh.

It is not the end of my world. But I will not give any money to this company again. Simple. And this is nothing to do with what they did or did not do with other games. I played EQ 2 and had no complaints.  But I will not risk dealing with a company that  will not communicate with its clients. Once bitten...

My only question is why do all these people wear hats in boarding fights? I would have thought there was a serious chance of them slipping over your eyes and getting you killed...

deleted as it ended up in a bunch of flames which I can't be bothered with.

For players over 25, or whatever a reasonable cut off date might be...

I realise I am not exactly Mr Mature by the fact that I play these games in the first place - but here's the thing; I am 35, and would love to be on a server with people a little older.

The thought of Conan full of people shouting 'noob' kills me.

What worries me a little is all those mobs just standing around...  just waiting to be attacked?.

Will this be another of those persistent worlds where mobs just satnd around not doing much until you engage them? Where mobs watch you from across the room slaughter their friends, and do nothing until you engage their little clump? I am still waiting for the MMO which moves away from that approach... well.. DDO did - and I loved what they tried with that game, shame the world was all instanced from one city

 

They talked about this in the video, though it was kinda hard to catch. The level is mid 30's, and the GM was buffed to level 75, so they were "grey" to him and hence, didn't aggro.

You can always join a casual guild. Not all guilds are WoW style hardcore guilds.

But if you don't want to join a guild there's something for you: mercenary system. Guilds can pay you money to fight in their wars.

There's also FFA servers, FFA areas on the PvE servers, and classic arenas.

FFA makes me happy; although I confess a liking for realm vs realm... something attractive about being on a 'side'... still; this is encouraging, and makes me want to try it.
