I got screwed too. Even though i expected this game to be a fail, I hadn't seen all those lies from Funcom coming. I mean, they didn't put in half the content they have been hyping.

 

but but but.... its beta.... all those betaleaks are just haters and doomsayers...there is content and no bugs, they are cappin the level of public beta for a sincere reason! certainly not to just promote their only polished part (the non-mmo part)....and what about....oh.....wait

yea its not beta anymore lol silly me....boy do i feel like a prostitute in church

sorry to hear you got screwed =(

Well if you post troll posts, shows your credibility then doesn't it...

edit: yea i dont need credibility, its pretty much fact that funcom fooled the lot of you through very skilled marketing and the game was not ready for release and is just another clone of the mmo template, but a bad one.  its not just me saying it, its basically everyone.

. I'm not rushing it like some people are, and taking my time to do other things in life than play MMO's and trollpost in forums...

As for loading screens, get a decent rig.

With my 10k RPM hardisc, the loading screens are not a problem, so upgrade your gear.

cant defend the game so they try to bash op...standard stuff. 

and amazingly this guy went straight to the blind insultin of op without even reading.  aparently i need to upgrade my rig cause it sucks to play aoc....hmmm...pretty sure i never bought AoC cause i have...um...what is it...oh...a brain

but im glad to see others in this thread also saved the money and didn't get suckered by funcom's hype machine.

what im not glad to see is all the people in this thread who are trying to force themselves to make an excuse for a failed game.

Its how they operate every AoC fanboi on this forum always attacks the OP or other posters if they smear the game and speak the truth without making any valid points to why the games good themselves, or why its worth paying for.
 

I payed out for my copy, sucked in by the hype and open beta, after a week relised how awful it was and jumped ship. Luckily I sold my account and game for more than double that I payed for it. Now you cant even give an account away there worthless.

I don't buy any MMO at release.  I wait at least 3 months.  Then I add about 1 month per piece of major hype.  So I wasn't intending to do anything with AoC until at least 1 or 2 years at least without a trial.

But then it became obvious that half the hype was flat out lies so that = never buying anything made by Funcom.

"It's only beta!  the lag and glitches and bugs are obv not gonna be in release its a diff client!"

"its only beta!  all this talk about the game not being finished and having no content in the upper levels is just doomsayers"

"funcom isnt doin anything sneaky by capping the public beta, its just marketing lol1!lol"

so since i have common sense, i avoided AoC like the plague and saved myself some $$$ because it was obvious this game was just unoriginal and was nothing but hype from day one.

  basically from what ive read and heard from friends who always buy the newest mmo was that the $50 or whatever would have been better spent if i hired a midget to punch me in the balls all day

oh and with some irony, those same fanbois back then would bash WAR and Darkfall at every chance...of course darkfall verdict is still out but there is definite signs of life (but to be honest any sane person can read the info out there and know its a real game and is comming out, how good it will be is another story).  And WAR would have to fail miserably to be worse than AoC.  And now i am remembering why i stopped checking out this forum...

Sheep.  I see a lot of them around here....

 

 I can honestly say i saved money too. I got AoC and have been having a blast. Granted I'm a casual player, not one racing to level 80.
 

  AoC cost me $39.99, and of course the $15.00 monthly after first month. This is for say maybe 20 hours of fun a week. (Like i said fairly casual) In comparison a movie for me and my girlfriend is well over $20.00's for just 2 hours. Saw Hancock this week i would have much rather been playing AoC. I enjoy the graphics, and the combat. but thats my opinion.

  You on the other hand funnily enough came to a board you state you don't frequent to bash a game you haven't played. Funny you should mention sheep as you formed your own opinion off of nothing more then random hate threads/posts from strangers. Yup no herd mentallity there. I might have given your post some credit if you maybe had at least tried the game via the free buddy pass, or beta, or something, but as it is just seems like another sheep posting about something he's never tried.  

  

I'm going to have to disagree with you on a number of things here winter.  

First, if the OP is bashing AoC, it's more of an indirect attack because the point of his post is that he saved money (although bragging about it is a bit tactless.)  At this point, he's merely highlighting things that most people are aware of (the extremely buggy nature and lack of content in the game). 

Second, smart/frugal consumers gather information before making a purchase.  Fools and rich people piss money away -- the difference is that the rich people shrug if they don't like the purchase while fools complain.  In the case of AoC, there was so much hype (from both sides) that it was hard to discern the wheat from the chaff.  You talk about not forming an opinion without trying the game -- the op has had numerous reviews from magazines as well as the opinions of trusted friends that validated his suspicions.  If several people tell you the stove is hot, are you still going to place your hand on it?  That's not herd mentality, that's due diligence and in his eyes, well worth the money saved. 

It's wonderful that you enjoy the game, whether you purchased it blindly or out of extreme faith that Funcom would pull it off but don't knock people for making evaluations based on what is now a tremendous amount of information regarding the state of the game.  Paying 39.99+ for a trial is unreasonable and given there's no buddy pass yet nor was the beta truly representative of the game, you're left with little reason to bash the op (other than for not having the decency to hold his tongue while other people clearly feel burned -- no one likes an "I told you so").

Was in the open beta, and canceled my CE preorder. Thanks to OB.

And yet the irony is that you come back here to post your self-back-patting for not buying AoC. Give yourself a cookie.   

And yes, I understand that it is hypocritical for me to comment on his post, but it's the inter-tubes and I'm feeling frisky... And I'm not a fanboi; I still play EQ2, LotRO, WoW and your mom.

UNTRUE! I could hire a midget to kick me in the balls all day for $20 bucks.

Thus your argument is fatally flawed.

Thats a good deal, I think I'd be stupid if I didn't ask you where I could find this midget.
