There is alot more strategy involved in 40 man WoW gameplay - there is better graphics, less lag and not to mention. It doesn't happen once a month... like will be the case of "massive siege" battles in AOC.

 

QFT!  That was lame, and yeah it looked exactly like boring old PvP thats been done a thousand times already! 

 

Hope you both enjoy warhammer then.

Strategy comes from the team skill, the tools in AoC sieges are there for the players. There are sieges happening every other day at the moment. Soon it will be everyday, when more keeps are up.

I for one will be enjoying the real time mounted combat, the fact that the city is totally player crafted... where is that in WoW or War? huh?

At the end of the day we all know tolkien got his idea's from Howards work.

Khemi is an Hyborian City, hmmm Khemri in warhammer lore based off it..

Like i said before avery, drop the fanboism, talk real!

AOC isn't a bad game, but it's unfinished, it's buggy and again unfinished. If it was atleast polished like the average mmo and they didn't implanted sieging and didn't hyped about it and just implanted it later along with some other features, then AOC would be fine. If FC would create a new engine and not the buggy AO engine , then it could be better also.

But no, FC has choosed the foolish path, buggy and unfinished. Where is the FC that creates game WITH LOVE? I don't see that  because the difference between a mass company and a company that sees creating games not only as a investment or money machine, it also sees it as a thing , they want to make because they like it.

FC has not done this. I am a chief of a company myself and i clearly see this.

I can list some companies who really create games because they want to play it and not only follow the EA-style. FC has choosed the EA style, no matter what people tell me, it's the simple damm truth because if they would care, it would not be buggy, it would not be unfinished. Eidos also has nothing to do with it because they only SHIP it.

But anyway, coming from UO pre trammel and AC darktide , i know what meaningful pvp is. AOC is the opposite, AOC can revert that but it's FC own fault that they made AOC pvp so messy and unbalanced and non-polished.

Meaningful pvp is fighting for something , fighting for meaning , consequenses and reward aka risk vs reward. If you die , you get a consequense and the other play can get a reward for killing you. Having a point in world pvp . Rules and laws enforced but balanced .

The list goes on. AOC is the opposite of this. Just like world of warcraft, age of conan has meaningless pvp. You do not have consequenses, you do not have reward, you do not fight for something and there is no law or policies.

It is a griefer paradise.

And tolkien did not got his idea off howard, what you just did is trolling for the sake of trolling. Take that line back please and do some homework before yellingsomething over.

Yet again avery, i thought you knew better . The fanboism syndrome

Now there is a reason WoW is so cartonny and that is because when they did ripoff Warhammer they did so duing the era when Warhammer art was also kind of cartoony.

 

The video presentation on G4 tv with paul barnett just showed us the lovely big pink shoulder pads available in warhammer online age of reckoning, there was also some cute little fluffy fairies floating around. Nothing much has changed since games work shop opened their first store, there are still very cartoony elements.

You loved the game as a kid, the video game will appeal to many kids today.

 

that was really low of you dude.. seriously think before saying something.. at least there wont be kids wacking off to computer for animated girls that have no bra on... seriously paul only having fun .. like video of witch hunter dancing.. all that was for jokes... it wont be in the game..

When you think about it AOC ... AOC was made to be for age of children :) because the devolopers were immature.. so they made there own lil game for the people who cant get laid...

 

 

hey mate, barnett was on the show with jeff hickman showing the game play off, there were plenty of character running around in nice shades of pink and purple. Was on tv like 5 mins ago here.

They will be in the game, its obvious that the art direction they are taking is done like that on purpose.

As for the comments about kids, we know where the pre-puberty ones will be. { Mod Edit }

Also coming from SWG pre cu, i know what a good community it had. Now i am playing AOC and i know where the pre puberty ones are.

The community is nowhere near the community i experienced in SWG pre cu. To much barrens talk, how it isn't WOW and people flaming other guilds because billy has griefer x person and y person does that and x person does that again.

Again, fanboism = for weak people.

Where was the siege weapon , I sure didnt see them , anyone knows ? Or was it a simple PvP Gank fight ?

Actually If you had read Gestalt's tirade which has now been removed it would make more sense. I mean these are the AoC boards are they not...For the record I know quite alot about Howard and also Tolkien, especially living in the same street as Tolkien did in Birmingham, seeing the real Two Towers.

Yes there are issues with PVP having consequences and meaning in different situations.  Can you tell me the pro's and con's of having a battlekeep and the meaning it gives there? FC has identified and collated info about PvP , stuck a reply in the patcher and the forums and are honest about some issues with it. I am too interested enjoying the PvE story now and having a mini game pvp to get guild points. Its going to be better something is being done about it.

Yes its buggy, Yes it seems lacking in area's. Is it fun still?  Hell Yes.

When I was in Norway, I saw the Funcom that was making AoC with passion, I filmed it. Stradden was there too. It has its errors, if you cant see the passionate and honest response then your not looking hard enough. They want the game to suceed right now with continuing subs, and commitment to patch this is being somewhat accomplished.Yes there is a lot to do still, lets get real moaning about some small elements  that are not as good as other ones is not going to speed up the healing process. We know the game is being working on, issues have been identified, lets see what happens next.

Might have to ask the architects in that fight, did they even build them? Or was the cost of the keep pretty high they had no money left?

Again, the map is there, decent terrain is there, player designed cities and customized layout is there, as are the ability to have siege weapons. Its up to the guild to decide how they want to play.
