IMO on what I know about AoC, its already a failure, delaying the game won't make it any better!

What makes you say that?

Can't say anymore or these whackjobs running the forums will ban me!  oh wait its just forums....

 

hmmm...thinking thinking, nah I'll let you all waste ur money and find out on ur own! 

Than it would appear you have no information to back up this claim, therefor we should disreguard your claim?

He hasn't got any, a doom sayer for the sake of it.

 

Khysi why you bad mouthing AoC for?

 

Avery, that is so wrong.  You are calling him out saying that he doesn't have anything to back up his claim.  Yet, if he did back up his claim with specifics you'd report his post for breaking the NDA.  That is wrong on so many more levels, I don't even know where to being...

 

 

Hell, you have just as much of a chance of being wrong as Avery.  Mabye this guys being an ass-hole and bluffing (wouldn't surprise me)., just because he likes trolling and saying bad things about a game he THINKS he won't like.  Mabye he's a WAR fanboi and likes bashing AoC, ya never know..

 

I agree, but you can't call someone out to back up a claim knowing that doing so will result in getting the person banned off of these boards.  LOL, but I know what you are saying.  Avery could have just said, "Please, post your proof for us all to see.  Do so now so I can get you banned."  Just wrong... lmao

 

Don't know if most of u recall but I did post some info not long ago and was banned for a day in like a few min after I posted it!  So in light of that I'm hinting as much as I can get away with!  So like come on Avery why don't u support ur claims of such an amazing game with solid info in return?

 

yeah didn't think so....

 

Oppsssss, wrong person to call out.  He went to Norway, played the game and posted a very long article here on MMORPG.com about it.  He has/had a license from Funcom to break the NDA.  LOL

 

Yeah, umm no, everything he said was from the press release!  He only got it out faster than Funcom did over a 3 weeks period in dumb weekly updates that everyone already knew about!  ...and I didn't have to goto Norway to play the game and I have better info than everything thus far reported!  heh 

Heh, I wonder how many times you can quote someone until the page stop loading... lol sorry.

From what I'm reading from people in beta who are breaking their NDA the game is hugely in need of more development time.  I gotta say I hope they delay the release or I'm afraid this is gonna make Vanguard look polished at launch.  And we know what that will do the the long term subs for the game and any hope for future development.

I will almost guarantee what your reading is a few months out of date. If its anything to do with meelfox / oldboy or whatever, was actually banned from beta a while back and keeps rehashing 4 month old videos and reports without knowledge of latest goings on.

 

I don't know why people get so worried for. The devs themselves say everything is on target, there has been lots of testing.

But to base your concerns over outdated material and a lot of assumptions from people is pretty silly in general don't you think?  Around 4 weeks to go more or less till the chance of NDA being dropped in an Open Beta state of affairs agreement "chance".

I can understand that everyone has a bit more of a peeked interest around here, but really we should pass judgement on the final version. And this isnt anything nasty or bad directed at you Ethion. I just really think its silly to assume as facts info from that one website.

There are also alot of people around here who can't wait to show some game hate.

I hope the game is good.  I still have my preorder so more then anything thats a statement of what I'm wanting to happen.  And I surely don't want to have the game delayed at all.  But on the other hand I know that if it releases and is a buggy pile of crap it will never recover.  Some of what I've read about the game I love, some things I'm cautious but willing to give it a try (the combat system).  But the info I've read isn't old it was info that was proported to be current from the current beta boards.  I've also gotten this from multiple sources including one person I know who is in beta....  I just wish he lived in my town.

So while the devs are saying everything is gonna be good, really what else would you expect them to say.  Avery I know you have seen the game and seem 100% confident that everything will work out.  I wish I had that kinda confidence but I guess thats why open beta and removing the NDA would do a world of good.  As the release date gets closer the level of FUD is going to rapidly ramp up and the closer it gets without opening beta or at least lifting the NDA the more people will panic.

So back to the original comments if there is any validity to the stuff I've read I really hope they reconsider the release date and push it back.  We all know what will happen if the game is released with major bugs...

Do you think that AoC's release date of May 20th should be pushed back a bit?  For me, I just feel that they are slightly rushing themselves..  But I would much rather the game be delayed then turn into a Vangaurd...

Should the game be released?  Explain you answer :D

If the beta testers are doing a thorough job though and they can release a playable game without major issues, then they can release it.

Are you beta testing the game? What information are you even basing your opinion on? Why do you think they are rushing?

Watch the stock--kind of interesting. 

What happened last summer to push it to $40, and what sent it down to $19 in January?  I'm interested if anyone knows.

The release date announcement sent it back up and it's now at $34.

My guess is, buy put options or short sell if they announce another delay.

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=FUNCOM.OL

I would buy the stock now, and 2 days before release "Sell" nothing against Funcom but just a smart thing to do.

Make money and play it safe.  I made some good money doing just that.

It probably nees a push back in order to add all the pvp promises it had like siege warfare and borderkingdoms and stuff, mob itemization and so forth, and things like spellweaving.

Even if there is a miracle build with all that stuff which also grants server stability so players don't crash to log in every 5 minutes, the game will still have to deal with being a fairly mediocre buttom masher with limited depth and linear zones. =p

However, could anyone please point me to a game that doesn't have so-called button-mashing inherent to it? Please? Just one game!

OK, here's my personal list of games that -have- button-mashing:

WoW - quite obvious, isn't it?

EQ2 - Quite the same as the above

EVE Online - Either click or use short-cut buttons...so maybe a mixture of mouse-bashing and button-mashing?

CoX - again, press buttons to do stuff.

Star Wars Galaxies -  ....you guessed it, you press buttons, something happens.

DAoC -  ...are you beginning to see the pattern?

Anyway, my question is this. When did Button-pressing become something bad in an MMO? Seriously. Or is it just pressing -one- button? Because from everything I've seen and heard (my little birds again ), that's not what you do in AoC either. So I am at a loss.

Anyone care to explain?

Back to the original subject of the Thread. I hope they do not delay, but if they did: please let us know today, tomorrow or the day after that!But do not wait until let's say the end of April.

All these people, especially me, are getting their hopes up to receive their pre-order CE-edition in the mail (imagine the feeling when you open the CE-box and see all the items. You start installing the Client and you're like 'hurry it up! I can't wait any longer!').

Delaying when the release date is in sight would be too painful to overcome. But I have to admit: if I'm in the General Beta and get to test the game I couldn't care less if it's delayed or not. NOT being in the Beta and just having to watch footage and read Forum Posts makes it as hard as it is. It's like the inner MMORPGer within me is craving for a fix since I'm currently not playing anything.

Delay if it is not ready.  If it is then they should launch it.   Pretty simple.
