I haven't come across anyone in game for over  a month who has said they have a lag spike like before.

I read and see guilds posting on you tube sieges that are smooth flowing and perfectly playable with working siege weapons, the boot out of zone bug gone, the mercs attacking etc.

There is a siege event on test server tomorrow if you want to see yourself.

DX10 was said that it will be shown in Aug in a press release before the game launched, not released then.

Nice summary of exaggeration you did there though.

well done. Always happy to see someone pull the card of a troll. People exaggerate a bit too much and generalize on these forums.

I had fun with AOC, unfortunately I hyped myself up, liked the game, but left after a number of friends left. The game looked GREAT, sure there were bugs (there always is at launch) nothing GAME breaking for me like at VG launch. Great gfx, ran smooth on my ancient 6300 oc'd. I hope funcom gets in some content and Ill come back.

By the way, you guys act like gaming companies are the only ones to blow smoke up our butts with tantilizing offers that rarely solidify. It happens EVERY DAY in EVERY MARKET.

What happened with the interview just prior to launch where they said it would run better the more cores you had. There was absolutely no diff between 2 cores and 4 cores at same frequency. It was just one of many lies and now they are all of a sudden gonna start working on what they said already existed. Sounds exactly like Dx10 except that was even on the box. It's just absurd, if you are gonna lie, at least make sure you havent already given away the lie.

 

Please see the January '08 community video's posted on this site for confirmation that multi core is just two cores and in the future they would be adding the ability for even more. I did ask the question myself in that video. The reason why is because the community always thought that it would be native quad support at release, 6 months before release we had confirmation that wouldn't be the case.  2 = better than 1. Its also know that there is no difference between 2 and 4 currently.

I cant find the video where they interviewed some of the developers a few weeks before launch. One of the questions was, will this game run better with quad core. The answer he was given was that it would run better the more cores you had. Now I dont remember the exact words, but he made the impression that it was that way now and not some upcoming thing. This is of course no where near as serious as not including stuff that are printed on your box.
 

Using 4 cores, does that mean AoC would suck 4 times as much?  :)

Will the third and fourth core make the crafting system suck less?

Will they enable working endgame raid content, and add more of it?

Will they add missing mid-level content, reducing the grind?

Will more cores fix +dam gem abuse, balance the classes, and end one-shotting?

Is the PvP system already in the game, it just couldn't be used because it requires two more cores?

Will more cores stop the OOM errors that cause you to crash to desktop constantly?

Will they allow more variations in armor?

Will DX10 magically appear with the new quad core support?

Can drunken brawling be added only with the inclusion of 4 core technology?

Will the GUI suck less with more cores?

Will OOC chat finally work right with that all-important third and fourth core?

Will they make spellweaving less of a complete joke?

Will they enable Powerpoints?  Kingship?  Villages of mobs that grow stronger and attack your city if left unchecked?

These are just off the top of my head.  I'm sure the improved technology will do all of the above, and probably cure cancer, too.

Huzzah for quad core tech!!!

.... Ok, the game has a ton of issues.  While the info is mildly interesting, the fact remains that the game is seriously jacked up (not just broken, but boring), and not likely to be fixed with more freakin' cores.

What?!?  The game isn't enhanced for multi-core computers like the box says?  Naaah, FC would NEVER do anything like that!

LOL exageration? You of all people used that word? Oh what company makes that sub $1000 machine with monitor that runs AOC just fine?

On a side note I heard that Funcom is releasing a "finished" game "soon". Any news on that front?

Actually I play on an ancient rig.. P4 3.4 Ghz running Windows XP and 1 Gig of RAM.

I did buy an 9600 GT to play but I hardly doubt my rig is worth more then $400.

And it plays fine..

that's about the same spec as my machine - made by Dell about 3 years ago LOL

With a £60 Nvidia graphics card added just last year, it also runs AoC high end (with character only shadows) just fine :)

I believe Erlings official stance on this would be... a small number of users
