Yup, that happens in Tabula Rasa and City of Heroes/Villains too.

 

Yep, more proof that the vets have won.

its not even worth posting on this board, the people viewing it are a handfull of lurkers that do nothing but bash potbs and give the fan boi remark to anyone that finds the game entertaining.

 

That's kinda what's kept me from posting as well.

That's ridiculous. If you really like the game and can find some good in it why do you care what some random person on a forum calls you?

Nothing will liven up pvp until they do something to discourage the six man gank squads that roam the red circles carefully ignoring each other while they wait for the lone newbie to enter. It only takes one or two times before the newbie gives up the game in disgust and then the gankers come to the forum crying because they have no targets. Actually most of the really vocal gankers have already quit the game.

AoC gets my vote.   ^_^

Does that mean you've finally come to your senses and quit Vanguard? :)

its probaly coming soon, the last few patches have revamped the lv 1-10 missions and made them a bit more exciting. The game was released too early but anyone that has played it can see the potential it has and im sure the devs see it also.

If they believed that they would have a free trial. If anything, just to give the appearance that there are people playing. My guess is that the are going to try and "fix" the game first and then do the trial because honestly most people who start the game these days doesn't stick around very long.

Anybody who thinks that Smed's new item mall, microtransaction scam of a game will be any good whatsoever is, in my professional opinion, clinically insane.

I don't quite understand how you can say Amazon.com is known for bad support. I have been dealing with them for years and never once had a problem. I have actually had stellar customer service from them.

 

Who says it's Amazon.com I'm talking about? Go back and re-read it my friend.

I did read it, it was a blog by the ceo at Amazon.com. You said a company with such bad customer support to have a blog like that or did you forget that.

 

If you had meant SOE you should have worded it better.

Ummm...the OP didn't write that blog entry. Look at the address of the link.

Anyhow since I can't actualy find a reason for this 3 year old laments I have given up asking. 

Somehow I doubt it. You seem to like perpetuating the debate and then trying to make *us* look bad for responding to you. That's fine with us, though, since it breaks up the usual monotony in here.

So you're embarassed about having bad taste in games and decided to troll these forums?

 

 

 

Well to be fair after he complains about us bashing SWG he goes to the Pirates of the Burning Sea forum and bashes that game. Not quite sure why *that* is ok but us bashing SWG isn't...

I didn't play SWG, and I don't have a problem with the company. I haven't had any negative experiences with them out of the two games I played for about a year each (EQOA and EQ2). EQ2 was very poorly received at launch, and they used feedback to reshape it into a pretty good game. I think a lot of people are cheating themselves by holding grudges and refusing to play SOE games.

And I think you will be in for a bunch of heartache when they pull an NGE on whatever SOE game you are putting time into.

In the past version YOU ONLY SAW GOOD and ignored THE BAD.

SWG vet here- Playing on Thog. I have already had chats with SWG vets in AoC. Every mmo I try that is new always has SWG vets. Amazing.

Here is something fun to do: go on to any server in AoC and mention SWG in the OOC channel. The SOE bashing I've seen warms my heart to no end. :)

It's a testament to just how awesome the original game was that even with all those bugs it was the best mmorpg I've ever played.

This tactic doesn't really work because every vet I know admits that there bugs and problems with the original game. Our contention is that if SOE had just buckled down and fixed those issues instead of completely changing the game they would have held on to their current customers and added many more.

And aren't you the guy who just can't understand why people are arguing about a game that hasn't existed for three years? Why are you making posts like this?

Honestly what good are grouping tools and voice chat on empty servers?

As for ganking PVE players is a complete lie this is not possible outside the red circles. Most PVE players are never around red circles (=pvp zone), but if you try cross it (never smart always use the bounderies) then you open pvp on yourself by entering a pvp zone.

The red cicle system is just a massive failure.

Well, heres the thing. Granted, those who didn't get in because of late registering still didn't lose any money, so to speak. I think the point of their complaint is something along the lines of, we were under the impression that we would get to play. Also, we need to take a look into what the advantages are of being able to have early access. You get a head start, plain and simple and if anyone has ever played a PvP orientated game, you know exactly what that calculates to. So, certain individuals are given three days to achieve as much as possible before the mass populace enters into their domain.

PvP games are competitive, like a race. If your running against someone and get a three day head start, you are going to have quite an advantage. I don't know what the level system is like in AoC, but lets say the level cap is 80. The first day of early access, you already have people past level 20. So, it just goes to say, early access is an advantage and for those who purchased a EA box and didn't get to utilize it, well, it's not a crime on Funcom's part, but it isn't exactly proper gaming etiquette if you ask me. People that had intentions of using EA, should have been given the chance. The fact there wasn't enough space on the servers, is just Funcom dropping the ball.

So, while the cartoon is cute and accurate, it completely missed several points as to what early access entitles. Just thought I'd give my two cents on the matter, even though I'm not for or against either side.

I really don't see how you can accuse of Funcom dropping the ball. Thousands of people figured out how to get the early access with no problems.

Anytime they make a profession relevant again, I'm happy in some small way for those friends of mine who still play the game.

Somebody send me a PM if they actually manage to make a profession relevant again.

 it still makes no sense that this argument has gone on for 3 years

You realize that by participating you are perpetuating the debate, right? If it makes no sense why do you bother?

I've been playing for two days now and while there is a lot to like in AoC the loading screens are just killing me. Maybe it gets better after you get out of Tortage but I find it really annoying when I'm trying to play.

so kill them back.

nuff sed

and if you cant get back into the zone, well maybe you should wait a little bit instead of killing yourself every time.

People like you make me thankful there are such things as PvE servers.
