When funcom implement the PvP patch we will we have one hell of a game.

After playing WAR it was pretty bland and generic. Combat is slow and  painful at times. Animations seem missing and i was lagging alot in PvP encounters. Graphics are subpar for a game released in this day and age. Mythic, as consumers we deserve more than you can provide. So like numerous others i have cancelled my pre-order of WAR, it was a huge failure in my eyes.

Just a couple more monthly payments and payment of an expansion and you'll get the pvp patch, right? Then you can buy another expansion for sieges. Then another for DX10. I'm pretty sure that's how business will be working for FC further on the line until people stop falling for this crap.

If only SW:TOR could be this epic...

LMAO thats the funniest thing i ever heard, the only benchmark AOC has created is for worst MMO with most boring combat  and an attempt to hide it behind good graphics and boobs lol.

Oh damn, not the "AOC have set a benchmark" babbling again.

AOC is crap, period.

No need to share your thoughts about the taste of crap, we're not interested.

Have to agree a bit with this no matter how much Conan was disappointment and that Funcom feels like a scammer. Trying WAR sure made me miss how fun I had in Conan before learning about its limitations. When combos used only two buttons and you ran around in Tortage with alot of content and fun encounters I saw my future with AoC. But I learned as most have and will that the core design and fraudelent company will make it unfixable.

In WAR I just didnt have any feelings of fun. It ran smooth, felt optimized, even balanced the little I tried, but it was just boring. Ok, if you are a RvR enthusiast then it's probably a very fun game, that's not for me though and rest of game seems to be, been there, done that, years ago. I actually got a bit afraid that WAR might attract alot less people than I thought and that it might actually give Funcom subscribers, but hopefully they know to stay away from the fraud AoC is anyway.

In WAR I was able to do 3 different things at lvl 3 (three)

In AoC it's quest/grind/quest/grind/quest/grind/useless crafting/quest/grind rinse and repeat.

Not to mention 95% of your way up to 80 you won't even have to group.

And you will do these same things at lvl 40 over and over and over again.

I play rather battlefield then scenarios, I like dungeons more than public quests and some fun to quests will be better then "kill 20 things" bla bla... but I dont like WAR lore I have to say ;)

i played warhammer for the last 6+ months during beta and now the open beta. and it was frankly painful to play. generic, bland, rough animations which felt stiff and adbrupt. the 2 sec cooldowns between every single spell no matter which was a bit annoying, using the same spell over and over for the "builder" was meh. the style of art was kind of intersting though kind of low end similar to wow but definitely higher resolution textures.

there are some aspects interesting such as the TOMe of knowledge alot of the aspects to the game felt like been there did that. PQ"s are nice addition but when u finally realize they are more for accrueing rep points for that given area. only bright side is you do actually get some half decent gear when you hit elite. but once again youd have to do that PQ at least 3-5 times depending on how many quests you did for the area which applies to your "rep standing" so this game seems very heavy rep grinder, for gear. all in all had a very bland feel to it, like i been there before somewhere,....hmmmm i wonder......

AOC although wonderful combat system, combined with tight graphics; the underlying issue  is the lack of content, lack of features promised at launch (some that should ofbeen there but are out due to failcom's incompetence), bugs, performance issues, OOM's, BSOD's.( i myself didnt have of those thankfully,  a few crashes here and there with the occasional shadow bug) but these glaring issues keep AOC from ever truly recovering, and no longer becomes a bastion for anyone who wants to play a MMO.

but, as in any MMO, each have their shining moments. depends on what crap your willing to put up with for $14.99 a month.

truthfull in the end, i had more fun with AOC despite its bugs, than i did with War.

Conan should have had far more lore than it did. Too bad all it had going for it was graphics and misdirection.

70 years of lore is alot to play back on. hopefully in time they can get into more of that lore. ive read some of the books in the 90's and had the comic books in the 80's very good read.

This is exactly why I couldnt figure out why the lore was so bad, theres a wealth of literature already out there to draw from.

Even if WAR turns out to be a complete borefest I doubt AoC will get back its subscribers. Simple fact is because AoC crapped right on the faces of their customers with lies and fake promises.

In an age where we have to endure Dubya for 8 years, I doubt people will be so forgiving to incompetence and deceit. Unless you're a fanboi of course. :O

Did you play it at endgame? Do you have any 40 toons in closed/open beta?

AoC is a walking corpse, face it. They keep breaking the game more with every patch, they can't release the damn PvP patch ever since June/July, they silence people instead of communicating, it is simply pathetic.
