Dear Funcom

Now, I'm sure my opinion here isn't the majority, but this is just the lamest, weakest concept I have EVER heard of for a game that's supposedly focusing on PvP.

You're going to punish players for griefing? That's a part of the game. The fugitive idea may well be the worst case of pandering I've seen yet in this game.

Instead of finding ways to fix this game, stop looking for ways to cater to the crying.

How about fixing chain-resisting mobs for the casters in the game?

How about tweaking barbs, so that they can't 1 shot people at full health?

How about fixing the Oasis of Zhaara exploit that every guild knows about?

How about, instead of penalizing people for ganking, rewarding people for fighting at their level?

Or explain to me how raiding for gear, which as I understand it, is NOT going to have any impact on PvP. What's the point in raiding for PvP gear if you're not going to apply the bonuses?

Can we get stats working? You know, the most basic part of nearly all MMO's?

Is a performance patch out of the question?

And for the love of GOD, HOW ABOUT GETTING SOME GM SUPPORT? I played all day today, a legitimate 8 hours, and I was number 6 in line. You couldn't serve 6 people in 8 hours? Completely UNACCEPTABLE

Seriously, Funcom, let's get our act together here. You're ignoring major glitches, and working on ways to prevent lowbies from being ganked, and that's just not what you need to be focusing on right now, period. I'm trying hard to stick up for the game (it's improving), but I'm getting tired of updates not fixing the serious problems.

Sincerely,

Agitated player, who is tired of the lack of support from GM's.

ok why the hell should people get rewarded for camping a fing spawn point?????????????  cause thats all you ppl do on pvp servers . no   ganking should  have a - action applied to it.

you say your not the majority and you are right about that. but catering to the majority is catering the cry babys?  from the sound of it your saying what ever they do , if its not they way you want it your going to complain and cry yourself. 

The only people crying about the fugative system are people who suck too much at pvp to take on people their own level.

I think pvp would be alot more fun if you need to fight at your own level.

Right now the pvp servers are full of people who suck at pvp killing people 20-50 levels lower then them.

What they need to do is take out the wins/death ratio or make anyone more then 4 levels (or so) NOT COUNT to that score.

There should be absolutly no reward for killing anyone who is a extreme lower level than you unless it's someone in a enemy guild.

What.A.Whiner...

You're ACTUALLY saying that PvP is all about no consequences to your actions? And because Funcom has the audacity to insert a system of action/reaction, they're destroying your PvP experience?

Take note people: This is what the world is coming to when we have people who grow up online with no understanding of the consequences of their actions, because they have lived a sheltered life, unreachable behind their screens.

I weep for the future....

Cymdai has a point here.

It's called Free For All for a reason, but is it Free from restriction, Free from culture, Free from ALL players regardless of levels?!?  What is the exact definition from Funcom for their FFA PvP system?

If Funcom would've had a clearer definition of their FFA system at launch, people wouldn't be so upset and confused.

Aye, FFA and rules cannot co exist. Free For All means no rules.

The thing i dont get is why people are complaining to Funcom here? go to there site and complaing all you are gonna get here is a bashing for being a noob lol, i guess you got every right to complain all you want but this is not the right place for it.

FFA within the code of conduct we use for the most part in the western world or probably worldwide ?

Looks like a list in a beta forum, just longer....

Who's to say their priorities aren't straight? It's not like everyone on the team can double as GMs, graphics programmers or otherwise have priorities beyond their own specific task. Should the art team start GMing for a few weeks?

And who're you to say "griefing" is part of the game? Caving in to crying? In lieu of what, catering in to the sadistic minority that enjoy ganking?

Some short-sighted complaints there, and in general signs of a healthy game when your only wants are subjective wants, or wants beyond the capability of any popular MMO.

I always respect what Cymdai says, he's the smartest MMORPG.com staff member and his posts always make sense.

you do realise that this is just another plan they want to implement and work on and that they havent actualy said it's a priority over the things that need fixing dont you?.

personaly i started on the pvp servers hoping to have an exciting hardcore game and found it to be nothing but a waste of time with no risk/reward and that you could even kill people while they use the merchants! it was a sorry excuse for a pvp server so i started again on pve, i have played many pvp games and this has to be one of the worst pvp communitys i have ever known. wheres the fun in killing someone whos tagged afk or using a merchant? i even remember playing wow and having a player get me down to 20% then send me a tell to see if i was even at my pc...he then left me a message saying he didnt realise i was afk and hes sorry.....yes a real pvp player not just a 12 year old kid :)

now why cant we all play like that?....yes i know im just a carebear wower or whatever were labelled these days..( i dont play wow anymore though )

So the goal of the OP in AOC is to stalk spots so you can piss ppl off and get easy kills ?   Im glad ppl like that will be suffering cause of fugitive system.  Cause this is exaclty why I didn't roll on PVP servers.  Asholes like the OP who have no goal other than to irritate others.  Probably cause they dont have the guts to even go outside into the real world.

All comunites have rules.  Follow them and you will do fine.  Break them and you will be punished. 

Did anyone actually read the full post by the OP? Hes pissed things that should be fixed arnt being fixed an insted focusing on the whole "boohoo i got ganked" an little crap like that. sorry but if i was going to boohoo about anything it would defenetly be that stats an such stuff arnt working. i mean things like that are the backbone of a game. w/o that stuff its just a shriviled up shrimp.. so to speak.. lol

Hope they fix this bug too www.massively.com/2008/06/11/are-female-characters-really-penalized-in-age-of-conan/

Cymdai is right.   Despite the whiners and cry babies that responded.  If you wish to play on an FFA PvP server you should have known before playing on one.  Now that you've learned what it is like..."you" don't like it and you wnat it changed to fit your play style.  

What about those of us that do "like it" and prefer "it"?   Why should Funcom change the rules "now"?  They should have had them in place before creating the FFA PvP servers and listingthem as such.

As the saying always goes.  If you can't stand the heat...stay out of the kitchen.
