"AOC is the best MMO out there .... for me"

Fixed it for you!

Since the title wasn't exactly matching the content of your post.

And ofcourse, you are entitled on your opinion. It's just that I don't agree.

After getting bored and disapointed in AoC ( not because of bugs and class imbalance or jewel twinks, ((those are fixable things)), but mainly because of the instanced gameworld and some basic mechanics in the game which are flawed), I tried Lotro and man, that game is so sweet and polished and beautifully worked out it really got my juices flowing. It entertained me more and longer then AoC has done, even without open world pvp. After an hour of playing I totally forgot about the dynamic combo system, decapitations and blood splashes and I found myself just completely awed by the amount of content and gameplay and immersion enhancing features this game throws at you. Beats AoC on all grounds, as far as I'm concerned. Too bad there is no open world pvp so I am yearning for WAR at the moment but if I had to choose to go back to an MMO which I played in the past then AoC is almost bottom on the list, only besting Guild Wars. I'd much rather go back to WoW EDIT: or EVE. 

And that was my own, humble opinion :)

and I don't go by subscription numbers, then WoW would be. WoW is old, boring and childish - as is a lot of the flameposts on this board.

Is AoC the perfect game? No.

Does it have issues, bugs, lacks? Yes.

Was AoC rushed, things missing? Yes.

Still, I'd rather be playing AoC, than being bored to death with the other games out there that is either more limited, old, boring, cloned.

Notice the flamers don't really have any option to playing AoC, they are either waiting (!) for another game, or going to games like Vanguard, Tabula Rasa...

Well, if you're waiting for a game, you're not really playing it are you...

 

What about upcoming games?

Well Warhammer is soon to be released, and from what is said, it's less buggy and more polished. And will probably have more subscribers than AoC.

I don't really care, it still looks like a boring WoW-clone, alot of people seem to think it's just boring.

 

The only game that could really challenge AoC is Darkfall.

However Darkfall got shitty graphics, and it isn't as unlimited as you'd like it to be. Though it's a step in the right direction.

 

Until something better shows up I'll continue subscribing to AoC. Not only because it's the game I prefer to play, but it's a support for someting new and innovative in the MMO buisness. I might leave if I see a better game, but not before.

 EQ clones, not wow clones.

wow has both pardo and kaplan, BOTH of which are huge/old school EQ junkies, which explains wow's eq cloniness.

sheesh.

Nice hype post

And you know this before the game is even released and before you even got a chance to play it or you played a little in the beta? This is what people said for AoC. The forums were full of people and beta players praising the game as the next messia, all over. There was even much more "AoC is the best game"'s that what we see for WAR today.

It's even the same for the korean f2p games. People start playing them and praise them as the most fun games all over until they reach their first month and start getting disappointed.

Wait until you can play the game for a couple months and then you can come back and we can talk.

The funny part is that VG at its current state has more stability, content and raids then AoC at its current state.

Hell it was way better half a year ago when I left it.

WAR is a lot more fun and polished than AoC, and less buggy. And, yes, I have played both (though I did quit AoC after only 2 weeks).

Oh, so you have seen much better and more stable AoC then those who kept playing

I love Age Of Conan aswell.

This is a bad place to show that you like this game thou, It's so full with hate towards a game they are not playing anymore.

I have played AoC since beta and I love it more for each day.

The game with best potential on the market of MMO's so far.

Well then please give us a reason for why you like it. Seems most AoC lovers dont have any arguments holding up at all.

The game is a failure.. hands down. Any fanboi that thinks it is going to recover from its horrible hypewagon screw up is dreaming. Failcom screwed all of its members when they decided to throw half of a game at you instead of a whole game.

An to the OP, I would love to know what level and class your toon is because all of this fun your having should be shared with everyone. You prob are a level 40 and you haven't gotten to the endgame yet, (which there isn't any) or you are level 80 and are a magical class that 1 hits everyone else (I'm glad thats fun to you.) The entire stat system in the game is a complete failure, they dont meant anything at all so balancing out the classes with gear is impossible. The content is nonexsistent to the point where they have gone in the opposite direction when talking about adding content to the game.

So tell me... what do you like about the game again? The innovated and memorable combat system?

Ok lets talk about the combat system... It takes so much skill to click your ability.. then you need to follow the arrows that pop up on your screen to complete the ability. Yea, nvm I see whats innovative and skill based about that. I would rather play WoW or WAR where the classes are balanced let alone the 1 button push technique. Oh?! You say its the fatality system? Yea, like that didn't get old before you even got to khopshef.

ahhahaahahahahahahhaahahahahahahah

waahaahhahahahahahaha

wait

hahaahahahahahahaha

Yeah but it took what, two years, and how many patches to get it there? VG is still the worst AAA launch in my book but you are right. It is a pretty darn good game now. One of the deepest and best crafting systems out there too.

AOC is already stable (for me) and I run on a lap top with max settings most of the time. I am getting FPS of 40+ in Tarantia even with a crowd around me. The absolutely need to fill the highler level areas with better, more, and more interesting quests though.

You know, at least five times a day I say to myself, "Thank God I'm not that person..". This is the fifth time today, I would hate to be blindly devoted to the failure that is Funcom.

Hmm..That is what this thread is about isn't it ? A player that likes AoC, and he told you why he liked it aswell.
Althou It's totally pointless to do this in this forum unless you wan't to get flamed for various reasons or get dismissed for a total lunatic..

But Ill do it anyway..

I like AoC for it's breathtaking world, with so high detail never been seen in a MMO before.

I like AoC for the fast and furious combat.

I Like AoC for trying to be somewhat unique in the MMO world with it's combo system.

I like AoC for the use of fatalities, every time i get a fatality I'm reminded why I like AoC so much.

I like Funcom for trying to create a better roleplaying experience than the rest of the MMO crowd. Even thou this is not complete in all areas they still get's my blessing for it.

I like AoC for creating some unique classes, like the Herald, a superb melee mage.

I like AoC for it's twink based combat, makes PvP something very special.

I like some of the quests and adventures much much more than many of the other MMORPG's out there.

As with all the good stuff there is things I dislike aswell naturally.

I dislike that there is actually only "one" way to go in Tortage, even thou the class quests differ, you will still end up killing Strom in the end anyway.

And in some of the negative feedback so often seen on this forum I partially agree, there has been alot of bad choices made from Funcom, promisses not fullfilled etc.

Well, this is "WHY I LIKE AOC"

Flame away, that's what you all do best :)

/junker

Everything you listed is all the things I loved about AOC as well.  Unfortunately, they weren't enough to keep me interested.  The eye candy is great, but beyond that, it's a hollow depthless game, for me anyway.  At the end of the day, there's nothing really to get excited about.

Really ?
It seems some just dont wanna read

Well let me copy paste one of my previous posts:

Ok how does my average day in AoC looks like:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Originally posted by IKShadow

Well my experience is a bit different.
1. Log ON

2. I load in Kashetta and while Iam still thinking what will I do some starting to beat me up while my "protection" is still on. I hover over the protection buff and see 9 seconds to go, I buff my self and start gaining some distance and as soon as the buff is off I beat the crap out of him.

3. Now checking my guild window to see there are 34 members online, I ask in guild chat whats up and members are responding we are in Epic Kashetta now grinding and protection our spawn as we get attacked by other groups every now and then.

4. I joined them and do some grind there for like 20 minutes ( got lucky with 1 epic too ) then one of the members suggest lets go to normal Kashetta and grind that camp for gems so we do it.
Once we port there few more members wanna join and asking in what instance are we .. checking the instance window I see 5 instances we told them come to Balder and lets make 3 groups.

5. Around 1.5h pass since I log in its 17:30 GMT and people are getting raid for our Black Citadel Raid.
The raid is over within 2h and around 10 members were put out of rotation so I ask them what are you guys up to, the raid is over ... they responded we are fighting with few russian guilds at city in kashetta, all of our raid moves there and what we see is almost 2 full raids of russian guild against several other guilds and us. After around 45 minutes of fighting there is like 28 members online we still have 1 raid group goin on but russians are logging off.

Well thats above average day in AoC.

Average day:
1. Raid either BRC or vistrix
2. Some group farming in epic or normal kashetta
3. 2 days per week we dont raid but are doing boosting groups .. 1 boosting group of lvl 60 and 70 and another 12 man raid for protection.
4. At least 3 to 5 mini games to boost up our guild points. ( 3 to 5 for me )
5. Some open world PvP group vs group or raid vs raid.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are alone in AoC you will be bored as soon as you hit level 80, if you have great guild community behind you there is still lots of fun.

As for the new players at this point I would not recommend anyone to buy it and it would be better to wait and see if Funcom will deliver everything they are blabbering for past 3 months.

Even as solo and casual player you can have good fun leveling up but at the end you will be bored at the end, not to mention crashes and some stability issue especially if you PC is not like less then 1.5 years old.

Yes, but is that really any diffrent than any other MMO out there, the only diffrence between them is that Conan has been out for 3-4 months and Everquest2 has been out for 4 years, for years of adding content. Time is the diffrence, and Funcom's time ran out as in all the major MMO releases so far part from World of Warcraft.

I enjoyed EQ2 when it was first released back in 2004 aswell, even thou it was as "uncomplete" as Conan was at the time. They even changed many features i liked with EQ2 in the favor of all the whiners and made it worse´.

Conan and EQ2 is in many ways rather like, it has highend graphics(for it's time), great visual feel with zones.

Pitty your boxed in and cannot explore it

I like AoC for the fast and furious combat.

Pitty your combos fail if you actualy press them two fast! thats not fast and furious its dumbed down.

I Like AoC for trying to be somewhat unique in the MMO world with it's combo system.

Add a few extra buttons to mash not exactly unique.

I like AoC for the use of fatalities, every time i get a fatality I'm reminded why I like AoC so much.

minor cosmetic for me oly fun first couple of times.

I like Funcom for trying to create a better roleplaying experience than the rest of the MMO crowd. Even thou this is not complete in all areas they still get's my blessing for it.

so when did the player housing apear what you were able to furnish? able to have unique buildings? GM`s that actualy took part? hold in game events from the company?

(few games i know do these things)

I like AoC for creating some unique classes, like the Herald, a superb melee mage.

unique i disagree , un blalanced and standard classes with name changes

I like AoC for it's twink based combat, makes PvP something very special.

you want real twink based go to wow ;)

I like some of the quests and adventures much much more than many of the other MMORPG's out there.

so you get a quest and you get an arrow pointing to your objective and its hand held every step of the way, oh thats great!

Look..As I said this is WHAT I LIKE in AoC and the reason I posted this was because someone said they would like to see someone's take on why a player can actually LIKE AoC.

I didn't ask for your opinion but every thing you wrote is bullshit acoording to ME.

You have ofcourse every right to think as you like, but do not post or quote a post just to troll or hate even more.

Dear thark ,

This is a public forum any thing you post is open to quote or comment, thus its a forum.

So yes im am fully entitled to quote who ever i like as long as its not a personal attack falling with in forum guidelines, so there for you are incorrect.

As for calling what i said bullshit, im now calling on your credibility!

Is it incorrect if you try to perform a combo to fast it fails?

Is it incorrect the areas are boxed in and have invisible walls to stop you venturing out side much of the landscape?

Is it incorrect that other games have far more content geared towards roleplay with features i stated?

Rather than trolling i mearly pointed out where your post may be misleading to others!

Even if they are you views

As for Hateing the game/company what have i to gain loose?

Well funcom stand to loose money so there bound to lie.

Fanbois they just want more players , with out more people they have no raids / guilds and the game dies.

For me i like to make sure other gamers know the truth about a game with no sugar coating before they buy, its called being part of a gamers community.
