Age of Conan

Ok they don't say they nerfed them, they just say shields were bugged before and  reducing damage too much.

Yep leach life and drain life still work normally, though unlike you I'm not dying faster still the same IMO.

Teala some of these notes are wrong. I suggest updating them every once in a while or only post the ones yourself are sure of!

Some of it is true, the zone wall stuff and deal with slopes I haven't noticed. Specifically I haven't noticed the Lach Plains issues so far; and that's all I've been doing since patch, climbing slopes for the higher level wolves for Whorled Leather.

The Trader errors on old mail and old listed items I noticed.

The lag spikes are still there, actually had my worst one while in Lach; lasted like 10 minutes.

I play a level 80 Guardian and they fixed an important feat of mine, and an irritating bug with priests grabbing aggro prematurely that's welcomed but...in general, this was another one gaze forward, half a step backwards patch.

Lotta those undocumented changes are overblown though, or at least aren't effecting everyone in a systemic way.

and...really? I'll have to test that. I was taking more damage than usual with random Lach spawns earlier, but assumed it was because I didn't have defensive stance on. If I had it on and was taking that much damage, then wow.

Most of those bugs arnt even true. I suppose the OP may of not known, but still more fuel for the haters.

how much does anyone want to bet that funCON does a nge on the game in the next few months

i mean funCON sucks and this patch blows no one likes it and people are ashamed that they even went out and got it. age of CONan needs to be shutdown and forgotten about.

this game has turned into nge part 2 and anyone want to bet warhammer will fail?

If people are expecting WAR to be a WoW killer, they are in for an unpleasant surprise. It'll probably get most of the DAoC crowd and some of the Warhammer table top crowd though.

I can definitely confirm the lag spike change and new frequency and length of them (among other things). I've been very forgiving of AoC, but man, Funcom is really starting to frost my frijoles with the crap they're pulling/screwing up. It's almost like they WANT to sabotage their own game. Very strange.

You have to look at their track record with Anarchy Online. The game had such a horrible launch that the CD-Keys didn't even work. I was told that I needed to send a fax to Norway if I wanted to get a replacement. They literaly spend over a year fixing it, and after that, the game was barely salvageable. Same thing will happen with this game and their next MMO which is in development now.

I've lost faith in them. I gave Funcom the benefit of the doubt considering that AO was their first MMO and hoping that they've learned from their mistakes. Unfortunately, they have not. Which pretty much means that I will never buy another Funcom product again.

I still think it will be the second biggest mmo in the western market, only to WoW.

I agree. I dont see it killing WoW but it should have some healthy #'s... I hope it doesnt  end up like AoC
