• • Age of Conan: Editorial: Anatomy of a Launch - Part 2

  • After reading this I kind of chuckled to myself, you could replace the AoC with WoW, and in almost every complaint, it was the same thing seen during the WoW launch, in fact now that I think about it, Vanguard, SWG, and Asherons Call 2 too.

    I dont remember hearing anything bad about the DaoC, or City f Hereos Launch.

     

    I think the OP should change the name of his article, it has nothing to do with the anatomy of a launch, just rename it too "I didn't like AoC Launch, and here is why."

• • Age of Conan: Anatomy of a Launch Q&A

  • It's clear the OP is disgruntled on how his experience went, and his entire article is colored by that, to the point he sounds like nothing has gone right at all.

    Just as if I were to write a 2 part article, it would be about the absolute zero problems I have had, or my guild, and people would just complain that I am a fan and my judgement is clouded by my experience. 

    So how do we decide who is right, we take a look at all the players and their experiences, and make a judgment based on the majority of them, and in that case the game is a huge success at launch, we'll see if remains a huge success into subscription.

    He could have written an article that focused on both sides of the story, and let players make up their minds or seek further information to judge, but he chose to see one side, which makes this the worst article I have read on MMORPG.com of which I have been a huge fan of for the last several years.

    I suppose if Rant posting is to become the norm, I'll be looking for a better MMO news site to bring me ALL of the information so I can make informed decision with my gaming budget, and help me separate the good games from the bad.

• • Age of Conan: Letter from the Director

  • Sitting at 45, and having a blast playing AoC. (I have played, WoW, LotR, CoH/CoV, Lineage 2, ShadowBane, SWG, DaoC, EQ2, AC2, AO, Eve Online, Guild Wars and many more I am forgetting right now.)

    Best looking game I have played MMO wise, and better than alot of non MMO's. (Eve and LotR come close)

    Best 1-20 gaming expierence in any MMO. (Nothing compares, very well done)

    Best Melee Combat in a game. (nothing like directional swings, combos, fatalities)

    Best Music in a game. (I am really enjoying the sound track while I play.)

    Questing - On par with WoW, LotR, EQ2

    PVP - better than WoW, but Guild Wars, and Eve are probably better at this point.

    Guild functions - Several buggy features, but you can build a city, which very few games let you do that.

    Crafting - Not so good, feels added on late, similiar to WoW and PvP at launch, something they didnt plan much.

    Instancing - there is one annoying spot in Tortage sewers, where it seems like every door you walk through triggers another instance, most people that complain about this most likely have run into it. It is the only place I have been in that is like that, and the rest of entire world, you hardley notice it, so i am ok with it at this point.

    Spell casting - pretty much what all other games have, nothing really new.

    Classes - very fun and exciting to play, nice variety.

    Feats - I have grown to enjoy testing results and builds, with out all of the info right in front of me, and having to read about the only build anyone is useing for thier class. It's exciting to be in a game that hasn't been dissected by the mathameticians.

    Mounts - best in any game I have played

    The Grind - Are you kidding me? stop complaining, this game is very easy to level in even if there were no quests at 50-60, which there are plenty if you know where to look. And be social, do some grouping.

     

    All in all, this is a great game and has set a high bar for all existing, and upcomming MMO's.
