AoC will do very well.....for the people with the right hardware configuration. That is really what will prevent it from being a commercial success. What's going to create issues for MMO fans who can run it....its a bit linear up front, world doesn't feel very open up front. I don't know if that changes later on but it feels a lot like a single player RPG in the beginning. IMHO.

His comment implied he knew the current state of the WAR client and how it compared to the current state of the AoC client, despite his own admittence he hasn't played the WAR beta for around 4 months. It doesn't matter what his first impression was, or whether or not it was soured. Its irrelevent. Not just because his impressions are opinion (4 months old opinion), but also because when you say words like FLAT OUT LIE that implies something factual. Which is impossible because he doesn't have the facts, so how could it be a flat out lie? Hell, I got in beta 4 months ago and I don't even know what the hell incident he is referring to with bad state of the client, I actually think he just made the whole thing up because he likes AoC. |

Originally posted by GruntiesIf you are unable to comprehend what I said, I understand. I'll attempt to make it a little easier for you.
You said Warhammer beta will be better then Age of conan Release, I said that was a lie and I told you why it was. Follow me so far? good. Now When I left warhammer beta they took down the beta, as in no one was playing it. They were getting ready for the "next" stage of beta. I never said I hated warhammer or I would never play it, but I did say their beta was in shambles and they were running out of time, just like all mmorpgs end up doing at some point in development. I really hope you understand that, if not I will not be able to help you. Next time you try to proclaim something, especially something like warhammer beta>aoc release, you really need to get your facts straight. Maybe the random children here will buy into your garbage but anyone who actually follows warhammer and age of conan have an idea of how both are really doing. As for warhammer beta NOW, I Couldn't tell but I do know they are having a lot of issues as any game in beta will have. Warhammer beta was and is no different than age of conan or any other beta. |

Originally posted by Torak I agree with the whole issue with hardware. It is a very difficult task, and the average person who plays mmo's has no idea how to configure or even attempt to tweak their system to get it to work with age of conan. So what were left with is everyone complaining about how age of conan is so horrible, but the fact is a lot of the issues people are having is solvable through small tweaks and driver updates.
As for the lack of a open world and single player feeling, I agree also. It feels very much like a singleplayer experience in the 1-20 range. From what funcom has said though, they wanted to go for a more linear and simplistic route for the "tutorial" which is essentially the 1-20 island. I can't really say much because of the NDA, but the world does indeed open up a lot once you get out of the 1-20 tutorial, and it definitely has a mmo feel to it. |

hahaha this post is so dumb the OP has got to be no older than 12. troll. whats with the whole AOC vs. WAR thing going on i dont get it. Both games are gonna be successful, other than WoW what big mmos out there do they have to compete with .....not much. So its a good chance both these games are gonna be successful. I for one prefer AOC over WAR because its a change of pace after how long i played WoW. im sure war wil be pretty cool too it just seems to similar to a wow setting |

Originally posted by Grunties Sorry, but I wasn't posting to the op, If I was I would of qouted him. as for my failing as a beta tester? No, I emailed mythic, told them of my situation and asked to be removed from the beta. I'm sure someone else who was actually willing to take their abuse gobbled up my spot. It's hard testing for a company who doesn't like help from their own testers, but most mmo companies are like that, so it's hard to really complain about it I guess.
And for the record, I don't care if you believe me or not, I just don't like when someone spews out how horrible something is when in fact it's sometimes just the opposite. I also have a tendancy to come off rather coldhearted and rude, that's just how I type I guess. |
