Support Bacteria - They''re the only culture some people have.

Well I like and enjoy AoC but I would not vote for it.

The fact is games in unfinished and I would not promote it with all this promotion all you get are lots and lots of haters and who could blame them.

Tell the fact, tell what you really like and enjoy and dont forget to tell all downsides like:
- client performance (on same machines regardless of what configuration they have )
- client stability ( more or less applies for everyone .. those with 4GB ram will have less problems )
- lots of critical bugs like damage gem stucking one 1 shooting players, none working skills, none working sieges etc...
- lack of meaningful end game content
- and more

What I enjoy:
- very fast paced combat where player skill mean something ( latest gem stucking bug is ruining PvP )
- items dont make big impact on the pvp
- ability for killing a player 15 to 20  levels above you
- great quest and imerrsion especially for first 20 levels ( where all quests have voice overs )
- general core design and engine is great and with lots of polishing and feature adding it will defenetly be on of top 3 games on market ( together with wow and war ) -> if they start doing things faster
- and more

To who I would not recommend game at this point:
- if you dont have quite new PC ( more then 2 years old .. and then should be like top notch )
- If you are a hardcore gamer who really plays a lot and need something to keep him busy for 8h per day
( you will reach max level pretty fast then you really need to have nervs of steel to stay or start leveling alt )
- if you want some great pve raid content like WoW have
- if you loose your nervs quickly couse expect some client crashes

The main problem now is that game was so overhyped ( like some other upcoming games are too ) and lot of players really wanted it to succeed and once they reached max level they were fustrated due lack of end game but still playing till the point they really started to hate the game for it.

Age of Conan its far from finished ( and even more far from being polished ) so if you wanna give it a honest try it would be best to wait for at least 2 months ( if not more )

 

p.s. Dont listen to fanbois or hatebois ->the truth is somewhere in the middle

I have a feeling this thread isn't going to help like he expected.

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt

I can't even believe AoC made the nominations.

That speaks volumes about the state of this genre right now.

I voted for AoC for 2 reasons...1 its not nearly as bad as the trolls are trying to get everyone to believe and 2 its pretty much the same as the games some of these same people are using as examples of greatness.
