Yeah...I don't get the support some are giving to the OP and the negativity against posters that replied promptly without being rude..Several brief answers were given that resolved the OP's problem...and negate his complaint. then OP just goes on to say his main complaint was GM ignoring the problem and that some players don't know what to do so support should assist. I have both a virtual and paper manual that clearly tells me the function of crouch...as well as the info..plain as day..in the skills window. Unless the OP is illiterate...which I find doubtful having written the post and replied to other posters,,,then it should have been easy enough to use the ability to read...and carry it over to the manuals or skill window in the games U.I. Instead..he counters various replies apparently righteous in his ignorance and that  the GM should spoonfeed him info  for a problem that really wasn't one. Prompting additional flaming posts from others...perhaps unnecessary...yet , in a way and  imo, justified.

Im retired and will get some kind of satisfaction pointing out things i think are wrong and hopefully inform some folks not to sub to anything Funcom puts out or hypes. They made a mistake screwing me, thats how i feel about it.

 

So you invested $1133.78 on a new computer because AoC was the only game you ever planned to play that would have directx 10? Surely you planned or play other games that offer dx10? I mean blaming funcom because you upgraded your comptuer so you could play dx10 is kinda absurd if you ask me.

I am a video game junkie and I would never buy hardware because of a certain game. There is just to many games out there to enjoy, especially with DX10.

It's not absurd, "many" ppl ungraded their machines or purchased new rigs to play AoC. Remember the infamous " AoC is steak" comment, next gen. mmo, dx10 compatible, huge ad campaigns and the like. Since almost all MMOs up to that point didn't require powerful rigs, most ppl knew if they wanted to play AoC they were going to have to upgrade.

Next time a player asks a dumb question in a game, perhaps if it really bothers you that much you could put them on ignore and go about your business.

What isn't needed is a bunch of unhelpful replies. 

If you know the answer, and don't mind sharing it, say it and move on.

You get no experience or skill points for being a jerk to another person in an MMORPG game.

And in real life you might get a poke in the nose for such behavior. (which is why you'd never behave that way there)

 

 

 

If he had asked a question on what he could do to avoid that situation in the future I'm sure he would have gotten different answers from people, however when he make this topic using the name he uses and writes the text he did. No one will take him serious, we will see him as nothing but another troll.

 

 

Trolls need love too 

They need love indeed. :) Though love :P

It was the incentive to do so i upgraded power supply 2 new video cards, upgraded to vista homepremimum and had best buy install the sutff. I bought the collectors edition and 6 month game time. I got a perma ban about 4th or 5th week after launch and it was my first post on the forums. I also did not get smart or snotty. I just said looking at the collectors edition box it stated that dx10 was ingame and i believe it was turned off not sure but if it was not inteneded to be in at launch why was it listed on box. That was it and post did not last 2hrs before it was pulled and i was banned. I was so mad i just uninstalled and from that point on i point out what i think is wrong with Funcom and Aoc when i think it is being hyped or others are asking questions. I am always respectful and stay on topic. Oh i forgot i either went to 2gigs of ram or to 4gigs i think i went to 4 gigs not sure and the best buy recite is buried somewhere.

Answering under the assumption that the OP is wrong for not knowing to crouch is a sure indication that you were one of the people on the bridge ... or wish you were ... that was blocking his path. It took more time for the GM to argue about not helping than it would've to just help. "Crouch" uses a great deal less space than what they were quoted as saying. And if they are required to be cryptic and not help, then just reply with "We're not supposed to help with issues like this except to say that you've already got a skill to overcome this situation. Now, ask me about opening the skills view ... then ask me about the crouch button."

When you're trying to secure someone's subscription, that isn't the time to run up the dick flag. That's just basic customer service 101.

I tried the trial. I'm not re-subbing because of another griefing issue. So he's not alone.

Eventually what's going to happen, like PotBS, is that those two donkey riders are going to ruin enough people on the game that it will just be the two of them (or feel like it for lack of population). It's also probable that they won't realize that they were burning the yardstick they used to measure their coolness with. And, more horrifying, once the game closes its doors, they'll finally feel the compelling urge to multiple, releasing dozens of spawn into the world from their donut distended, belly covered, genitals resulting in a sort of asshat apocalypse.

Fear for humanity ... I say ... fear for us all ....

 

I reported this.... as title-worthy!!

I don't think it's absurd unless he spent that amount of money just to play AoC and no other games. Updating your computer for such an amount without knowing if the game you are going to play will be any good is like buying stocks with blindfold on. You can be lucky and get a winning combination, but you can also risk to have wasted a lot of money on a new computer you will not be using for other games.

Blaming funcom for spending money on a computer is like blaming the police for giving you a speed ticket, you took the risk with upgrading your PC just like you took with driving too fast. If it costs more then it tastes you can only really blame yourself and take it as a hard learned lesson and move on.

If you got banned for one post then I guess the mods was seriously trigger happy that day. Did you try to contact customer support to get them to look at it as that sounds like someone abused their power a bit too much.

I was logged on when the OP went threw his "issue" he did indeed mention it in Global, and was indeed given the work around, he was also bashed.

The global chat is super entertaining, even if at times offensive, even for me.

Whatever is happening in that channel, AoC doesn't really care, this much is very obvious.

I'm a new player, not a MMO noob, but they are in sore need of many upgrades with basic direction/grind/and LFM, in this game.

The core mechanics of playing and so on, are relatively fun, and addicting, even though I wish I could move and cast. (Playing a ToS) I haven't seen the end game play out, and I'm struggling to make that happen. I know how it feels, having done everything in a MMO, and just waiting to get out, move on, and it definitely feels like this is the case for most vets still logging on, as there is constant chatter about other games, and the problems with this one.

I can see why the OP got bummed, the global reaction, and the persistence of the peeps blocking him, IDK, it was dumb.

But, then again, you only have what you have, and this is what you have right now in AoC, I'm sure there is plenty of cool people playing still, they really haven't been to vocal, and were nowhere to be seen when this was going down.

To the OP, unfortunately you don't deserve any special treatment, this is the treatment the people who own and run this game feel is acceptable, if you feel its below acceptable, then I wish you the best of luck!

anyways, blah blah.

If you could move and cast, you literally could not die except maybe against elite bosses.

Total lack of moderation of Global channel is a huge turn off for me.  If there was a LFG channel, I'd never have Global on.

No i did not try to contact them i was to mad. Playing online games is my hobby now so i would have to say i did not upgrade to just play Aoc but i bought into the hype and the first day collectors edition was sold i bought it like 3 or 4 months before launch thats how good i thought the game was gonna be. I learned a good lesson and do not believe any hype now on any game even if blizzard said god was coming i would want to see him myslef first.

AoC customer serviced ignored you? Wow that's a first. That was probably the biggest reason I cancelled my account when the game went live. I lost gold when I mailed it to another character, using the in-game mail system, and the GM's simply ignored me. They have the WORST customer service ever.

If his machine didn't meet min. requirements to run AoC he had to upgrade, its not absurd. With the NDA being enforced till release most ppl only had what Funcom told them about the state of AoC, and that is what ppl went by.  We can debate if he should have "believed" what Funcom advertised before launch and we can debate about all MMO being crap on release all day, but thats for another thread. :)

Summing up the last couple of threads, the largest complaint is now that funcom lied at launch, my class isnt oped and should be, my rig cant run aoc well, customer support didnt respond quick enough.

Sounds like the game itself isnt the major issue anymore.

Pretty much. The game has moved past that. Obviously we have some bitter betties that haven't.

Simple.

Screenshot or it didnt happen.

Done.
