and AoC isnt crap it has major flaws that have already been stated (which they are fixing before implementing this stuff) and if they add this like a major siege battle (if you actually read it, it says they will have other ways of sieging that will be even bigger) they will see even more people the only thing i see in WAR that will really atract more people is instant gratification because you are doing pvp getting good gear from lvl 1 while age of conan is more story based which pc gamer for some reason dont really like.

Bigger than the 20 mans on screen 5 FPS? lol worst thing about it is that its instanced so it should cause even less lag, hell i goe better fps when a 40 man horde raid attack IF, with about 200 people on screen in IF.  Game  design  is pure console game. Aoc is a story based game like all games you mean?  Hell what is the story in aoc, i dotn even know. Because playing upto lvl 55 i didnt even know what the story was ingame, are we meant to kill conan or something?  War already has more people in in open world RVR zone than aoc has in an instanced so called next gen pvp siege with 20 people at 5 fps.  hell even AV in wow has more people in a zone doing pvp, hell even going down more AB has more people on screen with 100x better fps.  Aoc is a failure in game design and pvp,  what i did like about it for 2 years was the hype and the spin though, but then release came and shit really hit the fan.

More hype and spin, and no substance.  Just like Vanguard, "hey we are trying to do all we can to fix the game, dont worry". lol.

Game fails, only thing Failcom are good at delivering is hype and spin.  From being a wow destroyer and next gen revolutionary pvp mmo king, its now turned to watch out war we are coming for you, how about watching out and retaining subs, before you think of taking on the big boys.  whats even more shocking about this failure of a game is that it is made by a company with experience in making an mmo already, even if the previuos game was a shambles.  Failcom now should never make another mmo again as its obvious they cant handle games on large scales, or even begin to deliver what they hype and promised. 

Simple it promises alot, and delivers even less.  There is no addictive factor,  and the gameplay is even more linear and boring than every single other mmo.  Only redeeming factor about aoc is the fatalaties, game was blatantly designed to be a console mmo. Imo this pc release is just a beta test for their xbox release and nothing more than that.  While you pay them for beta they just refine it more for xbox.    Whats even more puzzling is that they have experience with developing mmos, and yet they produce this crap. 

lol 5- 8 fps with 25 -30 people per side rofl.  they probably moved every 2 minutes only ti find themsleves dead.  What is more shocking is thats its instanced and the lag is that bad.  Failcoms spin and hype were the best tool when they designed this pile of crap.

So what was the update?  Tasos just getting more and more bizzare. His just probably sitting somewhere laughing and just thinking what else can i write to make people believe this is nothing but  my own personal joke thats go out of control.

200 people on sieges and  upto 60 fps on an avergae machine lol, he is trully now taking the piss out of the community.  You probably get thatt fps with the fastest machine in the world or close to it from 3d marks, and he expects us to believe his getting over 150 fps on an average machine, after this I now know this game and everything this guy writes is bullshit.  Nice big joke Tasos,

200 people 60 fps bullshit, u lying monkey.

150 fps in normal, more bullshit.  test that on the worlds fastes computer and you may if your very very very luck get that fps you lying monkey.

There is alot more strategy involved in 40 man WoW gameplay - there is better graphics, less lag and not to mention. It doesn't happen once a month... like will be the case of "massive siege" battles in AOC.

Yeah there is a ton of strategy in WOW. Running straight through AV to the other faction's boss while completely avoiding the enemy takes a lot of skill and planning.

And then that epic mega-strategic fight against NPCs when you get there!! WOW its intense! AOC can't hope to match it.

Pardon my sarcasm...

Sorry wasnt aoc meant to be next gen pvp? oh yeah thats right its not.  Wows pvp whether it be wsg ab and av actyallu do take alot of tactics to win if your doing premade agaisnt premade.  If not then yes its just chaos with randoms, like all games.  Wow was not hyped as being a next gen revolutionary pvp game.

LOL, look at the troll! *throws fruit at him*

He *thinks WoW has better graphics! xD

*trolls do not think before they write something

Wows art direction and style actually pwns anything aoc has to offer. 

Sorry to say but pvp is a joke.  Donst look good or actually even resemble anyhthing next gen.  For a so called next gen pvp game that was hyped by the fanbois for so long, it sucks  even worse than lotro pvm, actually thats a disgrace to lotro, aoc pvp is probably the worst of any mmo.

This link fromt he official forums says it all tbh.

http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthr...t=93053&page=1

So the poll proves that m rating dosnt mean crap, as the community in game and on the official servers is probably the worst of any game, so much for the theory if your older your more mature, age means nothing, you can be 70 and act like a prick or you can be 12 and act mature.

Overall, AoC isn’t a bad game, but it has been over-hyped. Once you pass by the initially impressive first 20 levels, you find yourself stuck in the same monotony that plagues lesser titles working with less-promising lore and it only gets more repetitive and generic as you level up. Even the class feats and progression feel dull, with classes gaining too few abilities to ensure that making that extra push through the last of an area’s unappetizing content feels worthwhile. The Hyboria lore itself doesn’t have the luster to make a convincing world, or (more likely) hasn’t been exploited well enough; no matter how many hours we ploughed into AoC post-Tortage, it was always hard to give a shit.    This is a genuine shame, because somewhere near the beginning AoC gives the feeling that it’s revolutionary. However, once you pass the infant stages of the game, play becomes all too familiar, all too repetitive and all too unpolished. We’re not saying avoid Age of Conan - feel free to give it a go and enjoy the early stages with your free 30 days of play. But when Funcom starts to demand the monthly subscription, AoC becomes harder to recommend. Some fixing and additions would improve Age of Conan, but at its core it lacks the fight and soul to evolve into a truly amazing MMO(from gamesradar review)

 

Ok everyone has there own opinion, but it would have been nice to tell us yours, not just quote from a review... heheh

 

 

agree with you but is there anything else

 

problem is with AOC the eye candy standard has gone up and its diffcult to play something lower than that

 

 

Problem for some, for alot of us its still the gameplay that counts, not the eyecandy. If it was all about eyecand crysis wouldnt have failed so bad as a game. Its got some of the best eyecandy so far.

Exactly, Crysis failed on all levels except graphics, which required you to spend 2000+ pounds on a new rig.

Gameplay beats graphics every time.  Gameplay is what gets you addicted to games not the bloody graphics.

Avery your spin and fanboism on this game is trully astounding, yes the game may have sold or shipped what ever boxes, but the game design game play are pure and utter garbage, it is the most linear mmo ever made, and the hype around it was trully over the top.  Does anyone care if its number i selling game after 1 month?  god all games after the initital hype can do good, go read the funcom actual official forums and read how many are cancelling subs etc.  Failcom after already making AO, learnt nothing, after millions and millions spent on the game and after 5 years and the incredible hype, they release a game that is worse even than archlord.  Better take that back archlord was never hyped,   it maybe an asian grinder,  but its pvp destroys anything aoc has. Aoc next gen pvp , biggest lie ever.  Only thing Failcom and you are good at are spin and more spin.

 

The fact that list shows 3 blizzard titles in the list after 3 years, only goes to show the longevity of wow and blizzard, and to think they never even made an mmo before wow.  Goes to show a company that spends time researching and devlopemnt rather than spin can make success.

Wow somebody is a grumpy panda.  Does it make you upset that hundreds of thousands of people are still playing and having a blast?  I bet it just eats you up inside that people are actually having fun playing a game that you despise.

Any game can have 400K+ subs after launch, the test is retaining those subs.  Yes and i will rip into aoc all day long, as beta was full of fanbois saying everything was fine, when it clearly was not.

The game was being hyped up to be the next revolutionary pvp game teo destroy them all, and what do we get?  instanced zones and loading screens galore, with peoplel camping GY and then jumping from the copied zone to camp more gy lol.  BK haha, its a joke simple as that along with guild cities with no purpose.  There are more like 150-200K + now actually playing after the initial hype after all the canclled subs that is for sure.  For a so called wow destroyed by all the fanbois that number probably will get smaller and smaller each month.

So that one guild doesn't absorb the server..  They will adjust rules to make sense.  All you need to do is dig up some radio interviews with the lead designer and listen to him for a while to realize that.

Thanks for the daily gloom and doom though.  You would make an awesome 5 o'clock reporter.

 

yeah there goes any fun for guilds with battle keeps to help storm (but not take) other guilds battlekeeps...have fun sitting in your keep defending constantly

 

I doubt they will keep it where guild members with a keep won't be able to be a mercenary for another guild.  They talked a lot about these systems, and that would just be foolish.  I bet within a month or two when these sieges start happening regularly it will be tweaked.

I know that they made it where a guild gained something like points as they destroyed areas and how long they fought so if everything inside is based on guilds i'm interested to see if anyone not guilded can participate yet as well. 

I bet they just don't have the mercenary system up and running right yet.

I know it won't work this way forever, and you can try and be negative and say whatever you need to satisfy your internet ego.  I would come back to this post in a while when it isn't working like this and revive it, but I really just don't care...

 

Is anything implemented yet, my god was this game even tested?

No the game was not tested, it was played by fanbois in closed beta.  If you said anything they did not like they would say go back to wow if you dont like it.  The fanbois didnt realise the beta testing was actually about testing and not saying to Failcom everything was working great.  beta testing was a joke, no wounder the game is in a poor state.  I laughed at Avery when i said many months ago that sieging was not in beta, and he replied with " so how come im firing trebs at a keep keep" .  This is how I knew he wasnt even in beta and just spouting pure hype.

Cod4 ftw.

They shipped 1 million copies, nobody knows how many subs they have.  Probably around 400k-500k i think.  The true test is to see how many subs they can retain.  Yeha its all nice saying we sold 1 million copies after the years of hype, like alot of other games have after the hype, but actually retaining and increasing subs is the true yest.  Imo subs will fall fast.

Mythic are reknown for the efficient programmers. They made DAoC in 18 months. They started developing WAR in May 2005! They will release this fall like they said. September, October, or November.

Wrath of the Lich king is probably gonna be postponed to 2009, february or march. 

Blizzard is shaking on their throne. They have released one expansion pack in 3 years. ha!

First blizzard dont release half assed products, they release it when its done.  Shall i tell you why blizzard hasnt need to rush out epxansion after expansion like certain other games just to try to get to a good level, its because they release major patches that have expnasion type content, and the fact that their game has more content than most other mmos, means they dont need to keep pumping out stuff just to keep up unlike many other games.  yes they must really really be shaking in theri boots, no wounder mythic keep delaying warhammer, lol.  Sorry I thought blizzard were meant to be shaking in their boots once the king of all PVP mmos Aoc was released lmao, so much for that one.  Better get back to the drawing borad and stop releasing half finished beta state games I say.  Get a grip.

newsflash, Aoc is not a pvp game.  Because they stuck on a pvp server its a pvp game now??  LOL by that toke, lotro, wow eq2, vanguard are pvp games.  LOL and dont try come with sieging, sieging probably wont be in game for another 6 months to a year if ever.  This game was and still is ni beta.

Totally agree. The sad fact is Funcom lied to alot of people in beta and to the public about what the game was.  Also the fact that bet was full of fanbois and yes men saying everything was fine was a joke.
