Let's cut to the chase and cast a census on this game. I always thought you'd get craploads of new players if you simply allowed the best players to actually get to be arnold shwarzenneger. That won't happen FINE so let's get a picture of what you want...

What would bring you back to Conan ?

Cut the graphics and improve multi player battle
Add sand box to game for a more "wow like" experience
Make the battle mechanics actually fun to use
Add arnold shwarzenneger to the game
Put in more classes
Put in more PVP
Put in more PVE
Add kittens
Nothing could bring me back
I'm already here so go die in hell OP

Wha?

WoW isn't a sandbox... what the heck are you on about? Part of the problem with this game is that it was trying to hard to be like WoW in the first place.

Don't you know, you NEVER mention WoW on these boards?

 

I was hoping  to try AoC at SOME point...but when I see nothing but WoW comparisons...well kick my ass and call me Susan...

No offence, OP, but this doesn't make much sense to me. Too scattered. Focus your point.

You make this poll as if the game is failing. AOC has plenty of players along with the best PVP system to ever be in a MMO.  All of the WOW players that keep coming here all worried because WOW is bleeding subs to AOC is proof enough that AOC is a great sucess.

With the addition of death knights that should just about finish it off as people will get tired of seeing in chat " LF1M for for Arthas have 9 DK's so far". Why wouldnt everyone want to play a hero class and its new to add to that factor. Warhammer isnt even worth mentioning as it has already topped its population and will slowly drop from here anyway.

Are you really that delusional? It's always fun seeing you post on the AoC boards, or here, because it's always so incredibly off kilter.

 

First off, AoC is far from a 'great success'. It has many faults, it also has many pros. But to sit there and say Warhammer isn't even worth mentioning because its population has topped off is absolutely retarded. I know it will never reach the subscribers of WoW, but I have no doubt it will pass AoC.

 

There just isn't enough to do in Age of Conan, and theres too many bugs. Bugs, and lack of content, that's the problem with the game.

*sigh* Why can't I resist to click in any meaningless poll?

But really, just stop it already, OP. The players that do like the game will come back but the ones that won't will never come back because they don't like the game. I voted for the last option.

I'm curious, do you find you sway many people with your extremist propaganda? I mean, sure you love the game, FC can do no wrong in your eyes, fine. Don't you think your endless extreme repetitive posts probably do more harm than good for AoC?

I know personally, i'd almost join the game again to just KOS you, so maybe it is working!

Well it already passed AoC. The question is just by how much.  I dont think Warhammer will get over 1 million subscribers, it's too much pvp focused and you can only attract so many of those. But to beat AoC you only need something like 100k subscribers and there is just no way WAR is gonna drop subscribers at same speed as AoC and probably WAR can manage 500k+ first years. In a few months you will probably just need 50k to beat AoC if it's still around to be beaten.

Do me a favor, go over to the Shadowbane forums and tell them that AoC has the best PvP system of any game ever made. I want to watch how the "Full Loot = Instant Win" fanboys who populate that game react to your statement.

This isnt the same guy on the AoC boards. This guy is (I think) making fun of the real Protus because he is so full of bs. Pretty funny if you ask me.

LOL...I agree....WoW Sandbox? Another sure kid from the WoW generation that every game needs to be WoW in order to be decent.  Perhaps the OP meant more open as WoW...not all instanced...then I would agree. But an open world like WoW is not sandbox.

More kittens please.

 

Seriously, I had to vote more kittens purely because you left "Once the game is finished" or "Once the game breaking bugs are fixed" from the poll.

Kittens would be a start though...

ADD arnold shwarzenneger to the game probably would help, but thats funniest thing I have read on the forums too date! But try it and see what happens! I may actually play if I see arnold knocking out a camel by punching it!

I chose to add kittens.

But they will need some kind of sandbox to do their droppings in.

I voted Add arnold shwarzenneger to the game, only because it was fun.

I dunno why anyone would vote Arnold...

Why have the face from some serious bad C movies, when you can have the face from 30-50(?) years of comics, based on the books, and not something a screenwriter(of C movies) tossed together to try earn a buck on some muscled guy who barely could speak Engrish.

It wasn't that bad in 1982. Of course if you go see it now then it's far from spectacular.

But thats true for a lot of movies.

 

Funny fact: IMDB.com rating for Conan the Barbarian movie is the same as MMORPG.com rating for AoC, both 6.7

Making the world vast and seamless without instances of public zones.

They should never, ever have opted for making a jigsaw puzzle out of the world solely for eyecandy / performance sake. I didn't bought the game to for graphics and effects, I bought the game because I wanted to play a gory, bloodspattered, adult rpg and try out the life of a proud, male chauvinistic barbarian bastard, an experience which has been very much toned down by lack of stability and imersion.

Playing WAR now and even if that doesn't look half as good on the eyecandy scale (apart from atmospere and art direction which are awesome) my wishes are catered to ten times better as in AoC.

Hes right WOW is NOT a sandbox game.  In fact in many instances one might say your choices in the MMO industry are SANDBOXES OR WOW clones.

Some people are like slinkies, they dont really have a purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

DFO stands a good chance to pass AOC, even if it never releases.
