• • 2 patches a week - I am impressed with this game

    The developers are trying to squeeze out 2 patches a week now.  I am highly impressed.  Solid launch (for a high end graphics game) and a solid game. 

    Why do I think this is a solid game?  I upgraded to a new system, thinking I was stable because I had everything right, I started playing AOC.  I crashed once every 1 or 2 hours of gameplay.  I started getting mad and blaming the game.  Then, decided to install UT2k4 to play because I was aggravated at AoC.  Patched it, and tried to play.  Crashed within 2 min.  Installed Prime95, failed on the first test.  So, with 1 bad memory timing causing my whole system to be unstable, AoC lasted longer than ANY other application, even Firefox started crashing on launch. 

    Now everything is fine and AoC plays great.  Also, I had played AoC on my old system ( Rad x800 XT, AMD 64 3000 overclocked, 2 gigs of ram) with pretty horrible framerates.  Switching to this new system was like playing a new game, again.

    New system 3DMark06 = 11944

    Old system 3DMark06 = ~4000

    Now the balance issues and broken spells/skills, thats another story.  With 2 patches a week, I am sure they will get the balance issues and broken spells/skills fixed.  Every game has issues like this at startup, I remember the DAoC launch, it was a solid launch, with little endgame and "archers" one shotting people.  Shadowbane launch... I won't go there...

    
     

    Solid doesn't mean incomplete or broken.  Below is a screenshot I took last night.  For some reason textures were missing from the landscape, items all around the map were flashing off and on, and my face disappeared so that you could only see the back of my head.  Here is a pic of missing textures of this very solid game.

     

    

     

    What are your specs? and graphics card? This has never happened to me or any of my friends.

     

    Maybe if you took 5mins off your busy schedule to check the tech forums you might find a solution for it.

• • Disappointed.

  • The people who are disappointed in the game are the ones who allowed the hype to get to them.

     

    The thing everybody agrees upon is that it is far from perfect and a good chunk of the game is missing/non functional at launch. The other thing is that it is bound to get better with time. AO is proof that FC can nurture one of the worst launches in MMO history, and AoC is far from being one of these, IMO.

     

    The question a player has to ask himself is whether to continue with the game and be patient for a complete game, or just cancel his sub right now, and try it out in a few months (or not at all).

     

    Personally I think the fixing rate of 2 big patches a week is great, and it is solely based on PLAYER feedback from the official forums, which is the most important thing. More so I am having fun regardless whether there's some non working stats, bugs etc. Therefore I am staying.

• • im a retard for starting this thread- i know-

  • The only difference between this thread and the others is that you at least KNOW the truth by writing it as a title!

     

    Wait for it...

     

     

     

    That, quite literally, without any doubt possible, is all.
