Age of Conan

From what I can see I very highly doubt there will be an open beta. Your open beta will be the 3 day pre-order play time. If they do an open beta it will just turn off most of those people to the game as many many many of the promised features are not in the game atm. No crafting (which means no player cities), no border kingdoms (which means no PvP), no spell weaving, Just a zone fest with lots of quests atm. The game will release extremely unfinished and get vanguard reviews.

Open beta at this point would be kinda....well, stupid...its so close to release

Open betas are always immediately before release!  Usually only a few weeks long to stress the server architecture to find any capacity issues.

That's got to be one of the stupidest things I've read in awhile.

ahh my bad. but its going to be released in just over a month. if they were going to do a test as such, wouldnt it be better to do that earlier? and spend the last 2 months or so in a closed beta with people digging for bugg's?

OMG Joshua you are so misinformed. How long has this closed beta been going on for now? Like a year now. Haha

Well i'm afraid... agree.

I'm gonna assume you're also talking about the release. Meaning all those features you mentioned won't be in starting May 20th. If you didn't mean that, then I apologize in advance for the following:

STOP TROLLING! I have faith in the Devs and I believe they will not let their fanbase down by simply releasing a game where you can Quest and nothing else. This would be nonsense because we all know hardcore players will reach level 40 within a week. Meaning they'll be demanding Mounts, Crafting and Guild Cities at least. They can't afford it to NOT put in those things at the release. So let's all stop the negative rumors and just wait and see.

I pre-ordered the CE-edition and had to pay 100% of the price in advance so releasing AoC in the state you described would just make me go mental. So no offense if I sound kinda crazy but I like my money (I work hard for it) and I won't let it be blown to bits. I need positive news about the game to keep my spirits up!

i know its in closed beta, and i prefer a closed beta prior to release than an open beta.

But I know they won't be so my hat will stay on my head. 50 days to go and not one thing I mentioned is in the game atm. So I highly doubt they will make it in for release and if they do they will be in terrible buggy shape at the very best.
