• • Age of Conan: Correspondent - The PvP System

    How many of these failures will it take to shut up the ones always whining for a FFA PvP MMORPGs claiming it would be so popular.

    And yet again we see what happens to a pvp FFA game when they listen to carebears too afraid to die in a video game and get their fweewings huwrt. Instead of working on the siege system and polishing it up they spent waaay too much time working on stupid raids, quests, levels and other pve crapolla that they original design did not have. In fact the original had a much better system of pvp but the crybaby carebears didn't like that it took skill to do it and instead they wanted the dumb down version we have now.

    The only problem with pvp in mmo's is carebears that want to pve. Instead of having the stones to just kick these girly men to the curb and tell them to go play another pve game they listen to them and everything gets messed up. Even in games that separate pve and pvp the pve carebears come over and then cry when they die. ewww I was gank'd.

    as for a MMO site to actually give a score a game deserves? Or put a game on blast for being a POS? LMAO!! never happen. If your looking for the consumer reports of the MMO world.. hasn't happen... yet...

    Why would they attempt to make another game, with Age of Conan in the condition it is... Bad idea...

    That's my opinion though

     

    So what? SOE developes games all the time even though their other games are unfinished and they are still making money. They also don't seem to care if they make people mad or not and still make money.

    If a man presells you a item over the phone and tells you that the item is absolutely the most incredible item ever made and you buy it only to find out it's a peice of sh!t, who's fault is it?

    If that same man 5 years later presells you another item that he says is the most incredible item ever made and you buy it to only find out it's a piece of Sh!t, who's fault is it?

    If that same man 10 years later presells you another item that he says is the most incredible item ever made and you buy it to only find out it's a piece of Sh!t, who's fault is it?

    If that same man 15 years later presells.....

    Get the point? If your dumb enough to keep buying then ...

    Well folks, welcome to the cancel club, enjoy your stay.

    will do. Enjoyed it when SWG went to crap. Enjoyed it when D&L went to crap, Enjoyed it when Vanguard went to crap (actually might try that one again) and now AOC. I'm sure in a year I'll be enjoying it when WAR hits the skids but who knows maybe it'll be a good game.

  • I canceled as well. After the last patch I keep getting lag spikes and the bar goes into the red about every 15 minutes. Allot of people are having this problem in guild and we were all waiting for today's patch to fix it but it didn't in fact it made it worse.

    Really wanted this game to be the one but sadly it's not. I was expecting a real unique pvp game and what we got was the same stuff you find in every other MMO.

    Not all is lost cause I found somebody to buy my account so at least I'm not out anything.

    Maybe in about a year it will be a good game who knows but funcom needs to communicate more and not treat their customers like SOE does. If they think by removing threads and banning accounts is going to fool anyone maybe they should look at how well it worked for SOE with SWG/NGE.

    I just don't think I'll buy the next game if I even play one right away but instead wait a year after it's release. I just think MMO's have taken a turn for the worse and it'll eventually hurt the industry as a whole.

    For those that want to try it then role a Necro. If played right it can be allot of fun in pvp. Ranger is also good if you like griefing people because of the tracking skill. TOS is a great all around class for pvp and pve even though they keep nerf'n it. Barbarian is great at lower levels but suck at 50-60 then become very good in the 70's. Never played a demo but they have a ton of spike dmg along with Guardian.

    I ended up with 2 lvl 80's which is very easy to do in this game especially if you have higher levels mentor you but as of today that was nerf'd. My TOS was very fun and very fast to lvl and still is a great all around toon if you do the feats right. My Barb is also lvl 80 and is crazy to play in pvp right now with his temp. My ranger is only 50 but still fun to hunt people and my POM is lvl 50 as well but kind of boring to play.

    If your into healing and like pve some pvp then do bear shawman. If you lvl one of these everyone will want you in raid. All around best healer.

    Anyway I'm basically quitting because of the way funcom is handling the game and don't seem to have a real sense of direction for what the game should be. I think they got lost trying to put in too much to satisfy the pve crowd and forgot to finish the stuff they said they would have for pvp and left the pve stuff half done. I'm sure they are working on it but right now the game is for me boring. Might return in a 6 months to see if they find a direction.

• • Man I was really hoping this was going to be the game!

  • I've been waiting for this game to come out for 2 years now. My guild mates and I were very excited about the PVP aspect of the game and the fact there is real loss and not just another "everyone gets a trophy for participation" kind of game. The graphics and gore also excited us because if anything it wasn't the homogenized PVP we see in other MMO's.

    This has been my experience with the game. Don't like it /shrug I don't care.

    Durring the wait a few things bothered us along the way and to us spelled disaster for this tittle. First was the PVE part of the game. At first we were under the impression that this was a PVP game and one could level by fighting other players or by fighting over territory. Once we learned that instead there was going to be the same ole wack-a-mole, tired ass, grind fest like all the rest of the failed, craptastic, ball and chain games out there, some raised questions of whether or not they would play. However after reading that the "grind" wasn't going to be that bad we continued on making plans to move on to this tittle. I was very excited.

    Then the PVE raiding question came up. Seems that some people wanted PVE raids as well. Once again we felt puzzled by this because ,once again, for some reason we thought the raids in the game were going to be raiding other people cities and not getting stuck in some boring ass dungeon for hours on end just to bid on a drop. But once again we though some PVE raiding wouldn't be a bad thing as long as the best stuff in game was the PVP gear or the crafted stuff.

    Then there was a push for a RP server? Hmm ok but this is supposed to be a PVP game so not sure how that would work. But hey if RPr's want a server then eh... w/e

    Once the game hit open beta we all paid the 15 bucks and D/L the client expecting to be blown away by this game and to be honest we were. Not by the graphics or the gameplay itself but by the fact most of the guild couldn't even get in and the ones that did kept crashing to desktop. Once again we all just kind of nerviously laughed it off as beta and the people we had playing on closed beta said that their version is running much better.

    Once the game came out most of us had taken scheduled times off of work or w/e to get in the game and get our names first. Problem is the servers didn't come up until late into the night and most had to log and some still could not get into the game. Once again we though "hey nobody ever has a good launch" so it's all good. But to make matters worse is the server we told everyone to make a toon on changed from PVP to team PVP or w/e it's called so most had to reroll the next day

    By the next day some of us were leveling and crashing to desktop or had to reboot constantly and still some people could not even log in. Now people were getting mad but hey it'll work itself out and besides they were not expecting this kind of turn out so it's understandable.

    Servers were still crashing and rebooting and there was allot of downtime but it's launch so it's cool...

    Patches during prime time.. oooo k this is f@cking stupid.. but it's all good

    nerf's allready..? wasn't this thing beta tested for a year now!?

    What do you mean they are selling mounts on ebay!? Why in the hell did I pay $100 for the special edition?

    ok lvl 50 and I have about 5 lvl's of quests... wtf am I missing something? No problem I'll just jedi grind the mobs.. wait! why in the hell don't these feats work! screw this I'm rerolling , this toon is screwed. Assassin my ass!

    Ok back on track with a Tempest now. Hmm lvl 60 and once again about 5 lvl of actual quests.....? Maybe the disks in the box has the rest of the content..

    huh!? they are kicking  guild leaders  for having too much gold!? but that was our city gold we all gave.... OH NOW they make the banks work.. purrrfect timing...

    Ok now lvl 70 and how many times do I have to kill the mobs in the deathcamps? Why the hell are almost all the quests epic? And why the hell do I have a heal debuff for 60 seconds on everyone I heal? I can see having one on me but everyone in group? Ok so tempest is NOT the best healer in game I guess /shrug. Also why if we do a raid group we all can't loot quest items? Is this not a raid quest dungeon? dumbass nofuncom! Boy this sh!t is fun.. people that crash can't get back in group and end up in a different instance wooooo F"n hooooo... glad I stayed up for this

    Ok finally lvl 80! woo hooo ... what do you mean I getting nerf'd! K I'll just respec.. WTF another nerf! k I'll just respec .. oh christ another nerf!? why don't they just go and make my toon blind and his only special is to whack crap with a cane.. wait! why isn't my blunt not doing any dmg... !!!

    Cool let's build a city.. boy I'm sure glad I bought a pvp game so I can pick flowers for hours on end. But hey a city will be cool with buffs and ...  WTF! what do you mean somebody just killed our keep! it's not even active yet! Oh it's just  a bug.. kk np we will just build walls.... WHAT! what do you mean our keep was destroyed! HOW?!  OH! they can just jump through the walls!!! nice... back to picking these damn flowers..

    K well at least I can kill people at random I guess.. WHAT! what do you mean they are going to redo the whole system! and now we will drop our weapons and gear if we die? WTF! I just made this stuff...

    Canceled...

    This concludes my experience with this long awaited tittle. BTW a couple of us still cannot get in...

    Don't like my comments.. once again could care less
