• • Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning: First Impressions

  • Well, a lot of what I'm hearing sounds good but I still have concerns. EA/Mythic axed 4 classes and 4 cities (almost all of them!) just to release. Esp with the way the tiered rvr stuff was supposed to work, that's pretty much destroyed a TON of content. It just really bothers me.

• • Fact: 70% of players unhappy with AoC

  • 1) Assuming that the 400,00 sale number we've heard is accurate, the current poll (1407 pollers as of my shot at it) is hardly an accurate representation. So no real data can be gleaned from it.

    2)  70%+ Stated they were happy with the game overall.

    3) About "Not pleased with the current state of the game". That's...kinda vague. Heck, I'M not pleased with the current state. Cause it's NOT perfect. But that doesn't mean I dislike the game or consider it not worth playing. it has bugs that need fixed. They will be fixed, and I will play a game that I like. That's what matters.

• • Sales going well...

  • He does have a point though. I mean, way to go on the good sales, but it outsold an ancient MMO already being played by 7 million people and a MORE ancient sim game I didn't think anyone played at all.

    Blimey, can't remember the last time i heard about players "training" (we call it dumping where i come from).

    It's the idiots method of griefing, simple and effective.

     

    It is griefing, but it's wicked fun to do it once in awhile.  I remember everytime I left South Karana in EQ, I'd fire an arrow at the cyclops and pull it to the bridge where I zoned.  Then the next poor fellow to zone into South Karanas would find himself facing that ogre immediately.

    Trains are great fun.  Feeling mischievous is fun, perhaps is the reaons.  It's fun to do something sneaky once in awhile.

    I only trained once in EQ. I forget where I was, but I was playing my monk, pulling for our group. We had a ton of problems with another group stealing our spawns, being harassing over chat channels, just basically ticking us off.

    So I did what monks do best. I grabbed everything I could see, barrelled down on the other group....and feigned death at their feet. Wiped out 6 people in 6 seconds.

    I don't normally agree with that sort of thing...but it felt GOOD.

    I like AoC, but this excuse doesn't work for them.

     

    No, no MMO is finished, but some of the core of this game was just left out.  The quests begin to dry up later on in the game and you're left being forced to grind out lvls.  It's not fun.

     

    The least they could do is drop in some repeater quests for xp.  XP is gained through quests in this game.  Grinding is more painful here then most.

       Now this, I'll grant you. The quest situation is pretty ugly that high up, and I can understand people being upset. According to Gaute's message they're adding content to fix that. I can only hope it will be soon.
