    Lol I love people that do this.  So because half the people agree with him and half the people seem to think what you think, he must be lying about his own OPINION.

     

    I know this has been discussed in this thread already but, this is the reason why Conan's lifetime won't be measured in years.

    
    Your reading comprehension seems to be lacking. Pretty much everyone who's actually playing the game disagreed with the OP. Of course you could just be a troll.

    
    Sorry, I only read the first few pages and I have this skill where I scroll down past posts that don't catch my interest.  People saying "WoW is difently worser than AoC" don't tend to catch my interest for some reason.

    Oh yea, please explain how someone who posts about the current state of the game (ie. not open beta) can be a "blatant liar?"  I'm sure deep down he feels that AoC is perfect and has no immaturity but he chose to come on here and lie, just to upset the little kids?  Makes perfect sense.

• • Your First Impression of AoC is directly proportionmal to your Computer's power

    Hey all, Well the gates are open and we have flooded into the world of Hyboria (800K of us..wow). As we can see on this site and other forums, everyone is giving their first impression of the game. There is a mixture of Pro and Anti AoC posts here, and thats to be expected (generally more people rant about things they hate than post about things they feel are good...rule of thumb 3:1)

    Still in all of the 'My impression' posts one thing seems clear. Its not the 'Gameplay' thats the issue ..its the 'play game' ...or lack of your system to be able to. I wrote about this in my Review ( Age of Conan: "A great Game with a fatal Flaw" ). Still we must keep things in perspective and give the game a chance to grow on you, and your system.

    The last week of  Beta there were HUGE advances in the ability of lower end machines to play AoC...there is no reason to believe that wont continue. Bugs fixed, memory leaks patched, etc.

    Also, playing on Low settings is NOT the end of the world. High or Low its still the same Game. Even on Low settings the graphics are way better than most MMO (WOW for example). What upsets a lot of people is that someone says how wonderful the game is at HIGH settings then you feel denied this experience.

    In time, you can buy more RAM, a new graphics card and enjoy things on higher settings. Take it slow as your budget allows.

    Good Luck all

    
    Most of the posts I've read and have been, "5000 quests in 20 levels sucks" or "I wish it was more like a sandbox."  The "play game" posts I've read are mostly about not being able to log on, servers being down, problems with keys, etc. - mostly things that players cannot do anything about.

    If you really want to discuss computer's not being able to handle the game, tell me why people should upgrade a Nvidia graphics card from the 8000 series just to play this game?  I have a card that plays every other game I've ever played on the highest graphics settings, yet this game it can handle on low and medium when out of the cities.  The amount of money you'd spend on a 9800 (or two or four), you'd may as well wait 6 months and buy a whole new computer for slightly more (I'm assuming they won't be buffing their requirements as we go?).  I hate to tell you buddy but playing on low is nowhere near as good as playing WoW on high - and this is coming from someone who hasn't played WoW in 6 months because he got sick of the game (ie. I'm not a WoW fan).

    Kinda seems like a Funcom problem and a great way to scare people away by making a game with such high requirements.

• • Do you recommend AoC (simple poll)

  • I'm not a fan but it depends on what you like.  It is far from a bad game but I feel it is far from my idea of a good game.

    I'm not sure I understand the concerns but in AoC if you want to grind for xp is pretty much ok, in fact you do more xp that way than questing.

    Also there are many areas for grinding for your level once you leave the starter island but is true it might be not enough.

    If at level 20 you choose to go in the crafter area (if is not bugged lol) and start gathering resorces you level up too, through grinds of mobs that attack you pretty much everywhere...

    So I'd say is a pretty good compromise there as long as you are not forced to quest/raid etc. I don't know yet how gear and end game pvp will be like but I guess it will turn out into whatever we want it to be (as players). The only issue that worries me is the fast leveling of the game which in turn will lead to the fast dropout rate. But then again I'm more into the type of games in which you have fast access to your class basics so that you can make many small level guys and see what you want to make and then have only your main class to play not 50 alts with all the possible crafting features.

    You won't have to make 50 alts to try all the crafting features, their aren't near that many.  Besides, with no item decay, just wait until you're 80, buy the best that can be crafted and you won't ever have to buy again.  Sounds like a great environment for crafters eh?  All that repeat business.
