Age of Conan

Well, its useless. Whiners, bashers, liars. Full of missinformation. Its feels like the underhalls of the undead. Remote controlled undead tools roaming the halls. 90% written here is BS.

I ll leave the board. AoC for me has content till december or so. Why bothering reading here ? And it wont get better until people can move on to the WAR or Aion forum, just to keep on whining and bashing there. I dont think there ever will be a game to satisfy you. Your game is whining... and you know who you are.

I guess i wont be missed and i wont miss you either

Well as a game progresses/gets older its inevitable for boards to get whinners, griefers, bashers, etc. But who cares bout that stuff really. You always have the choice to ignore them. Talking of choice, where's the option to vote no

As it stands using these boards for serious chat has and will always be hit and miss. I tend to use mmorpg boards till a game/official boards are released. Reason being the officials are regulated more (or can be, not always true), and they often get more GM/Dev support and real info.

For now my choice is also to use the AoC, mostly coz its better organised and ran atm.

I dont think i have seen this mutch hate for a game ever. Still I am impressed by how mutch time and hard work people spend on researching and digging up information about the game, a game they dont even like. Where the energy comes from is a mystery. Personally i rather spend my sparetime on schoolwork, working extra for tuition, or getting drunk. But i guess i am just weird like that.

wii make no differance people will whine about anything doesnt matter wether its aoc wow war eq swg it will never change. thankfully those that post is only a very small % of those playing any of the games, 

anyone who takes any notice of the posts on here or any other forum as being "The Truth" about the game (any) deserves a idiot medal

Mourning, Horizons, WoW, SOE as a whole, and the most hated ever SWG. 

AoC doesn't even come close to those rabid haters.

edit: oops, forgot to add DnL in that list somewhere

I don't think you'll find a good representation of any game in any forum if you're looking for an equilibrium between the people that have good experiences and those that have bad ones. For the most part, people don't come to forums such as this to present a positive aspect, but they rather tend to vent frustration. That's part of the official forums funcion as well.

As long as you don't expect these forums to be something they are not, the situation is really not that bad.

First of all, forums are not for praising only by fanbois. Sure, I may be awaiting WAR's release, but atleast I purchased AoC and tried it out,  which seriously suprised the hell outta me since I had no interest in it whatsoever.

During my adventures, I noticed several key points about AoC that I surely enjoyed and several that I can't figure out how they got past beta.

PROs:
-Unique Combat System
-Superb Graphics
-Mature Setting
-Fatality Moves
-Player Built Cities
-Crafting
-Numerous Quests
-Excellent Tutorial Area

CONs:
-Poor Melee Implementation in Combat System ( Too hard to stay on target to complete combos without a /stick or /follow command ) which makes Ranged Combat easier. What would they say if they actually had to aim their spells and arrows? I bet you'ld never hear the end of it.
-With great graphics come great instancing ( Just ask Spiderman ) Sorry, I'll take WoW, EQ2 and WAR graphics and have an open world setting.
-Swearing, naked people and gore. Who could ask for anything more? Obviously the same kids who infested Barren's in WoW apparently.
-As kickass as decapatations look and so forth, the fact your still getting pounded on during this epic moment leaves a poor taste in my mouth.
-Ahh, the freedom to have a place to call your own. To defend and improve upon and benefit from. But wait, benefits are turned off, NPCs are turned off and there is no PvP or PvE sieging implemented yet. So, does this even count as a launch tool? Or as a belated birthday present a year from now at the rate their finishing the game?
-Well, crafting in this game seems simple enough, no risks and crappy products. Some craftskills aren't even working properly while others are in limbo because Funcom forgot to add the drops needed to advance in it. Yet another incomplete and halfassed implementation of a fundamental gameplay mechanic.
-Definately plenty of quests and if you can't find any, no problem, cause you can grind to 80 in less than a week and thats all that matters.
-Tortage, the beacon of all that AoC stands for. Tortage is like a mini version of the actual game. No crafting, plenty of ganking and basically a whole lotta nothing. Seriously though, the game is not finished which is why it's getting the crap kicked out of it in reviews. Don't blame us, don't blame the game magazines but rather, stop paying gaming companies to beta test their games.

See my sig.

Can only speak for myself. But the reason I'm on these forums is that I dont have anything to play. As soon as I have a great game to play I play it and dont write on forums. Now after 3 weeks of Conan where I went from thoughts about upgrading my already really good computer for max experience, to complaining about the game cause I feel so disappointed that it wasnt as good as I thought from the beginning. For me it wasnt ready for release, it's not a finished product. Some say MMO's never are, but there is a minimum to what you need in it and have it work for it to be launched for me at least.
