• • The haters get lower and lower cred with me...

    Haters keep trying and trying relentlessly to make the game out to be a failure, and every time they do, FC has a press release a few days later to prove them wrong.  What do the haters do?  Why, they look for new angles that might prove their point.  It's not beating a dead horse, it's performing a massacre on a dead horse and using the parts to beat another dead horse.  Time and again we see the haters with new "evidence" to support their claims, and time and again they use unrepresentative samples while press releases contradict them.

    As of June 30th, I don't take posters like Jackdog, ethion, and their ilk seriously anymore, and probably never will.

    It's one thing to state that you don't like the game, and put up your reasons.  It's another thing entirely to deny facts time and again and relentlessly troll a game in spite of its success.

    
     

    Ok, first of all, you do realize a press release is nothing more than a delayed promise right? Anyone can say we are working on fixing problems until their blue in the face, but until they do, the game will still be 1/2 broken and 1/2 incomplete.

    Do I think AoC is a horrible game that will fail? No, I don't think it will fail, but it certainly won't ever be as good as it could have been if they hadn't launched a beta version, banned official threads that didn't deserve a ban and implemented 1/2 the crap they promised at launch. AoC isn't a bad game, its just Funcom is a horrible company and a lot of haters just don't think Funcom deserves any slack cause they aren't new to the MMO genre and the CEO is friggin two-faced liar.

    I don't hate AoC, but I don't really think its anything spectacular either. I could get into the whole AoC was suppose to be PvP oriented topic, but everyone will just tell me no, it was never meant to be a PvP game crap, so I give up. Therefor AoC qualifies as a B rated PvE game since it certainly doesn't overwhelm me in that department.

    Ya, you can hate me, I really don't care, cause I refuse to pay for beta products.

• • Funcom: female dps bug being worked on

  • The best part about this minor issue is that I never have to deal with it or any other "minor" issue cause I canceled before my 30 days were up. When I was still playing, I felt it was my obligation to beat the piss out of Funcom's reputation cause I paid for those 30 days and deserved to whine. Now, I just laugh at anyone complaining simply because they are still paying to beta test.

    At this point folks, if you haven't canceled, you have no reason to whine and that is the simple truth of it.

    LOL this is Mythic, ofc  there are fotm classes. Overpowering and nerfing is what they are best at.

    Also if they are looking for some kind of a balance they are failing so far.

    
     

    Any time you have a game with more than 4 different types of characters, your going to have the FOTM clause included.

    Take a look at the original WoW game. They had the same types of characters on both sides, except for 2, the paladin and the shaman and Blizzard couldn't even balance that out. Instead, Blizzard gives up and lets both factions have access to their unique classes, thus creating an even more boring gameplay.

    I'll take variety and FOTM for exciting gameplay vs. no variety or FOTM with ridiculously boring gameplay.
