• • Update by Mark on the bugs fixed since the Preview Weekend

  • Some news by Mark about what has already been patched and what we can expect for Open Beta.

    ORiginal post HERE

    Folks,

    Well, things have been, as usual, busy here at Mythic so I have lots of news to share. So, without further ado and no SNL references, here's the update on my update:

    1) Significantly improved NPC pathing - Okay, in all fairness it wouldn't have taken much to improve on what we showed you folks during the PW. However, the NPC pathing is back to where it needs to be and while it still isn't perfect, well, it's a heck of a lot closer than it was just a short time ago. We identified a whole lot of bugs and squashed them.

    2) Improved pet commands and responsivness - Well, pretty much same as above. Pets will no longer act as if obeying an order from you was the last thing in this world that they wanted to do.

    3) Fixed an issue with textures blurring - Nothing like looking at textures through a blurred lens to make things look really sharp eh? Major improvements in and more OTW.

    4) Enhanced Global Cooldown Mechanic - Well, for one the GCD actually shows the correct cooldown time and not the rounded up cooldown time (Hey, what a great idea, let's make it seem slower than it is. WOOT!). The slop timer is working fine right now and we'll continue to look at making the GCD and combat in general more responsive.

    5) Continuing to improve Client Stability - As always, lots of fixes going in here. The client is supposed to be more stable (and looks like it so far) but until we get the masses back in...

    6) Added new Graphics Settings and seeking more feedback from testers to guide future improvements. You asked for it, you got it. Well, in all fairness we were going to put these in anyway but it never hurts to nudge us a bit at times.

    7) Target Nearest Target improved - Yeah! One of my pet peeves addressed.

    8) Renown Gear changes and Potency of Potions increased. Tweaking, adding, subtracting, in other words (don't say "nerf", we're still in beta!) balancing.

    9) Increased bonus for medal winners in PQs. PQs are supposed to be fun, joyous and not grindy. We'll continue tweaking and changing them wherever we need to do that to make it so #1. (okay, a ST reference)

    10) Added more loot bags in Tier 1 PQs - Boy, it's going to be rather crowded when we launch so we just upped the loot for the Tier 1 PQs. We'll do the same to T2 as needed. And when the rush is over, we'll tweak downwards.

    So, in terms of some other good stuff, lots and lots and lots of bugs fixed and lots of new stuff added to the ToK. But wait, there's more and we'll address some of it next week as well as more coming info in the next update.

    Oh, and there's still no such thing as a miracle patch so don't expect one here. Just a ton of fixes, additions and adjustments. We have another major patch coming as well before launch. We don't believe in miracle patches (miracle whip is a whole other subject) here at Mythic but simply hard work and a talented team.

    Much respect to my team that is really doing one heck of a job getting things ready for launch.

    Mark

    We do enjoy the fact that they are an example what is wrong with the industry. It is unfortunate for them to be at this position but i do not give a toss. They are con artists and we fell for them, make them suffer for eternity/

    I have to say that if FC can actually turn AoC around, then more power to them.  I hope that they do.  I'm just not about to hold my breath or play the game again.  But if FC can actually turn their inability to listen to their players around then... well I don't know what then but I'm fairly certain that it would involve my head exploding with amazement.

     

    thay can not or they would have done it already, the game is riddled with bugs they can not fix. it is obvious after 3 months. 3 months should get any good team the time to fix those bugs, but they did not. they do not even know where to sart because the game is so fucked in general.

    I'm grown up enough to desire wistfully for my long-lost dogmatic, ignorant youth, thank you very much

    a company that still after 3 months has not delivered any of their promises not one bit, not even made the client more stable, much less than delivering promises of PvP and stuff as EE puts it?

    Your contribution to the debate is zero

    Thanks for participating on a forum whose entire purpose is debate by saying that we shouldn't debate.

    Well done.

     

    Actually it looks as if this forum has been hijacked by people like yourself who want to just be negative about Funcom.

    a company that has lost 90% of it's share value?

    Even when it appears they have a new approach to make the game better after a rocky launch you cant even give them credit for it.

    It sounds like the SWG forums when some1 says they enjoy playing the game.The sad part about it though is that AoC in comparison to SWG is far and above what SWG is now.

    Hell man i played AoC from launch until recently and i had no issues at all.I LOVED IT and will go back soon but due to real life and lack of cash had to stop.

    Best game ever flame on.
