Start worrying about other players in a game and dont just play

Going by forum activity on a few diffrent sites like this, All Aoc forums are way more active then the Warhammer online onse. This would indicate that Aoc has a stronger following then WAR. With a little luck Aoc can maybe become a nich game that wont be shut down before its second birthday .

Hope this lightens up the day for Amazing Avry  and the rest of you Rabbid fanboys... your game is doing better then WAR! And might even be growing....

Lol - Good to see some think a game is doing great - just cause its doing better than another ...

Sadly WAR has already been doomed as a failure cause of many issues.   That on its own will not make AOC better tho... Specially considering that AION is coming out - pretty well tested (with a long open beta coming).

And for those that are claiming the game is running smoothly ... I just want to remind those that the comback campaign has just ended  ...  PPL know the truth  - the game still has many issues so just cut the crap

Funcom has tarnished the name of Conan for good.  Just the same as Mythic has done with Warhammer.  The good news is that neither of these companies are likely to have any following in the future to do even more damage.

I don't play AoC anymore its not my type of game.  Dont like the FFA aspect and only 1 race ect....

However when i played AoC 4-5 months ago its true most of the bugs are gone and the game runs great compared too just about every other mmo out there and looks alot better.

I have a decent mid end rig that is about 3 years old now and i ran AoC without any lag ever (even in battles with 50+ on screen) and got an average of 30-45FPS with max settings and AA/AFx8.

AoCs major problem is there is still a lack of fun end game content.

As for "the game still has many issues" you should try playing it before you crap all over because you obviously have no idea what your talking about.

I tried out the game again this summer and it ran completely bugfree for me. My server were packed with players, it was easy to get into a large, strong and active guild via the global chat channel and with patch 1.05 the game just became damn pleasant to play (except for the mage/melee balance sadly).

My biggest complaint these days about the game is that on a PvE server once you hit 80 you either raid or make an alt. There is nothing to do for the soloer in the endgame what so ever. . . there is nothing you can work towards on your own, not a single thing. In my guild everyone lvl's alts until its raiding time and them its off to one of the many raid dungeons on the mains, every single day.

My hope is that the alternative progression system they plan to introduce in the expansion will make it possible to do something with your 80 toon apart from PvP and raiding. When you get to your 2nd or third alt you have already tried all the content in the game including the new zones.

Warhammer might get less visitors on sites like this but has multiple large fansites with large and active communitys, there is pages of posts per day on that site alone. AoC doesn't have anything like this.

That isn't a dig at AoC the 2 companies handled forums very differently and thus the comunity is spread differently but it does show your way of judgeing game popularity doesn't work.

From a artistic perspective Age of Conan is imo the better game. And even though I hate to admit it, from a technical and gameplay perspective WAR is maybe better. But that doesn't matter when combat is like watching paint dry up in WAR. And in Age of Conan the combat just fills your blood with adrenaline.

I'm personally more focused on artistic standpoint of things, so I enjoy Age of Conan alot more. Especially the quality musical compositions (wich won a hollywood music award I might add).

It may be true but once Aion and afew upcoming MMOs hit the shelves in 2010....my guess is AoC and WAR will be hit hard. To point the where they may have to shut down? I dont know but the future is looking bleak for both I think.

Personally I find AoC to be a somewhat unique MMO (moreso then other MMOs out right now) but I think the content and polish is still just not there to keep most people interested. I love PvP but AoC has little to offer compared to other MMOs. My g/f is playing so I'm hanging in there for now but once Aion is out I'm all over that like a fat kid on cake.

No offense but if AoC's combat fills your blood with adrenaline--you need to get out more.

You die in AoC its a short walk--no penalty what-so-ever.

Just because it does not fill your blood with adrenaline he needs to get out more? Maybe it fills his blood with adrenaline. Maybe it is his cup of tea?

I went back and gave AoC another try with the 14day free trial and without a doubt they have made great strides in the game but I had a hard time getting into it and just wasn't able to build up any enthusiasm. It's not that the game wasn't reasonably fun or anything in particular about it that I could put my finger on it is just that having stopped playing coming back to it just didn't work for me.

I did notice what seemed to be a fair amount of people online and running about which I attributed to the patch and trial being available so I wish them all the best but I probably won't stick with the game.

I don't see how a failure in another mmo would change the status in another game.  Unless all the people leaving game A join Game B as a result, game A will still be exactly where it is regardless of how well/poorly Game B is doing.

If you get a C on your report card and your friend gets a D, that doesn't improve your score any.

Warhammer still has has more players today so I don't get the point.   Euro pays way more for subs so I whatever number you believe it should actually be an average of 16 per month.  I'm sure many players are still not willing to make a long-term commitment to this game and after factoring out the additional sources of revenue it is probably closer to 70k subs.

However do to the low server pops and number of servers 60k players is all they have and they get a lot of money from people who forgot to unsub it seems or probably mistaken billing issues from the free trials as Funcom was charging people that didn't subscribe again.

Funcom has reviewed all of its assets relevant for
impairment testing. This process has led to
recognition of an impairment loss of around
3,1 MUSD for Age of Conan due to a decrease in
numbers of subscribers for the game. Funcom Q4 10 report.

As for "the game still has many issues" you should try playing it before you crap all over because you obviously have no idea what your talking about.

 

I played in the comeback campaign (few weeks ago AFTER 1.6) and there are still alot of issues with the game.  ALOT.  I will go through few of them just in case.

- Sige battles.  Major problems with taking part in those - I tried 4 and in 3 of them we were not able to take part at all.

- Performance.  I have a pc with 5.7 rating - Frames are not stable enough (going from zone to zone or into instances) to be in any way at acceptable state.  Alot of work is still needed to balance this.

- DX 10 is still not in.  Beta they call it ... Its not even in alpha stage yet.

- Server problems - Lag issues.  I played AOC at diffrent times during the comeback.  There was huge diffrence in lag issues playing during peak times and off peak times.  I checked around with few old friends that were still playing and on avarage we calculated that the diffrence was over 150 ms.  Not to mention that the huge spikes are still ongoing in the game for alot of ppl at peak times. 

- PVE balance - Raids.  I did 2 raids and both were just stupid.  Its just increadible that anyone should offer such a junk out when other gaming developers like BLizzard take their pride in creating top quality raiding experiance.   Balance wise it was a joke (ofc effected by the 1.6 changes)

-Missing/unfinished features.  I will just name two features that caught alot of intrest when the game was orginally released.  In both cases Funcom did a terrible job in implementing these two systems and they have not been worked on at all since launch.  Im talking ofc about mounted combat ... and spellweaving..   In both cases these are in the game but both are such a crap that its not even worth  mentioning.  But its perfectly understandable when a game that had such HORRENDUS issues at launch is still forgetting some of the biggest selling points that went totally forgotten in the myst of the bugs that had to be fixed in the first... YEAR....

Since this topic is also about Warhammer - I want to mention that I also took part in their comback campaign.  I have to admit that I played WAR alot more cause I found the content added to that game more intresting that what AOC had to offer.  But that game has it issues to...  But peak time lag was alot less (even tho siege lag was still very high).  

Again - WAR having issues will not make AOC better.  Fanboys can be happy tho - since they are obviously just more conserned that the game is not the biggest pile of junk on the market.  Even tho I dont find that debatable when you compair WAR and AOC.

Honestly you should go to a clinic where they treat acute psychosis. Best MMORPG on the market now? No bug, no lag and thanks to Funcom? Trust me, only a few rabid fanboys can take your claims as the truth, the rest of the normal population sees it as either total lunacy or hypocrisy.

And dude, the OP was sarcastic as he can be. You actually interpreted the post as some sort of good news for Funcom? Man, you really need to get your head out of the sand.

First I was like WTF that is not true for AoC anymore (speccialy performance and shit... and I doubt you got into sieges, since they are guild only ...unless someone is stupid enough to take a noob that knows nothing about new changes on a siege) - than I realised this dude came from the future.So they broke sieges again and made performance crappy. THat is very sad but thank you for letting us know, mr. futurefrobner

And for those that are claiming the game is running smoothly ... I just want to remind those that the comback campaign has just ended  ...  PPL know the truth  - the game still has many issues so just cut the crap

Funcom has tarnished the name of Conan for good.  Just the same as Mythic has done with Warhammer.  The good news is that neither of these companies are likely to have any following in the future to do even more damage.

 

I don't play AoC anymore its not my type of game.  Dont like the FFA aspect and only 1 race ect....

However when i played AoC 4-5 months ago its true most of the bugs are gone and the game runs great compared too just about every other mmo out there and looks alot better.

I have a decent mid end rig that is about 3 years old now and i ran AoC without any lag ever (even in battles with 50+ on screen) and got an average of 30-45FPS with max settings and AA/AFx8.

AoCs major problem is there is still a lack of fun end game content.

As for "the game still has many issues" you should try playing it before you crap all over because you obviously have no idea what your talking about.

 

I played in the comeback campaign (few weeks ago AFTER 1.6) and there are still alot of issues with the game.  ALOT.  I will go through few of them just in case.

- Sige battles.  Major problems with taking part in those - I tried 4 and in 3 of them we were not able to take part at all.

- Performance.  I have a pc with 5.7 rating - Frames are not stable enough (going from zone to zone or into instances) to be in any way at acceptable state.  Alot of work is still needed to balance this.

- DX 10 is still not in.  Beta they call it ... Its not even in alpha stage yet.

- Server problems - Lag issues.  I played AOC at diffrent times during the comeback.  There was huge diffrence in lag issues playing during peak times and off peak times.  I checked around with few old friends that were still playing and on avarage we calculated that the diffrence was over 150 ms.  Not to mention that the huge spikes are still ongoing in the game for alot of ppl at peak times. 

- PVE balance - Raids.  I did 2 raids and both were just stupid.  Its just increadible that anyone should offer such a junk out when other gaming developers like BLizzard take their pride in creating top quality raiding experiance.   Balance wise it was a joke (ofc effected by the 1.6 changes)

-Missing/unfinished features.  I will just name two features that caught alot of intrest when the game was orginally released.  In both cases Funcom did a terrible job in implementing these two systems and they have not been worked on at all since launch.  Im talking ofc about mounted combat ... and spellweaving..   In both cases these are in the game but both are such a crap that its not even worth  mentioning.  But its perfectly understandable when a game that had such HORRENDUS issues at launch is still forgetting some of the biggest selling points that went totally forgotten in the myst of the bugs that had to be fixed in the first... YEAR....

Since this topic is also about Warhammer - I want to mention that I also took part in their comback campaign.  I have to admit that I played WAR alot more cause I found the content added to that game more intresting that what AOC had to offer.  But that game has it issues to...  But peak time lag was alot less (even tho siege lag was still very high).  

Again - WAR having issues will not make AOC better.  Fanboys can be happy tho - since they are obviously just more conserned that the game is not the biggest pile of junk on the market.  Even tho I dont find that debatable when you compair WAR and AOC.

First I was like WTF that is not true for AoC anymore (speccialy performance and shit... and I doubt you got into sieges, since they are guild only ...unless someone is stupid enough to take a noob that knows nothing about new changes on a siege) - than I realised this dude came from the future.So they broke sieges again and made performance crappy. THat is very sad but thank you for letting us know, mr. futurefrobner

 

It doesn't matter how much detail you give - you will always get some asholes trying to deny it. 

Comback MEANS comback - That doesn't mean that a "noob" that goes playing with their old guildmates (including some that ACUTALLY still play) can't judge if a siege battle starts or not...  WTF is matter with some ppl...

Pretty typical...

If you have something to actually talk about then plz enlighten us about the new Spellweaving or the new mounted combat...

If not then realise that the game still has huge issues and alot of what was promised at launch WILL be charged for in the so called "expansion".  That includes some lore breaking featuers like seeing every person ingame riding a tiger or wolf...

Ye... thats Conan for you...

I came back for a month. The game ran perfectly for me. With high graphics setting it ran better on my computer than Lotro or even WoW in Dalaran. The combat is still very cool, at least the melee combat is. I don't have an end game character but the rest of the game I found very nice. Hopefully the game can keep going.

First about Sieges. What I am implying is taken from my own experience (I played comeback for 1 hour). Although I was one of top PVP players on server when I logged in I died in a matter of seconds. Not because I would have forgotten how to play, but because my class, spells and overall role was changed so much that to be actually useful I would need some time to adjust. I would say more than a week, maybe in 2 I would understand my role and get myself ready for some average siege game. (and to judge if siege starts or not you have to be in siege team  so either you are lying or your guild lack people or proper leader to take the best not the worst to fight)

And again you bring something false into game (people always amaze me with their own stupidity). What exactly is being launched with new expansion that was promised before? I cannot remember one thing from expansion presentations that was promised at launch for AoC. IN fact I already pointed out that Sil is doing the oposite, launching the missing content with regular updates and doing something new with expansion. My guess would be to avoid such troll bashing as you tried.

Hope this lightens up the day for Amazing Avry  and the rest of you Rabbid fanboys... your game is doing better then WAR! And might even be growing....

 

Lmfao , this has to be officaly the most retarded post ive seen this year and thats saying something,

 

So you looked at both forums a few times and because AoC had slightly higher pop on forums you came to theis bizzare conclusion , maybe people are playing War instead of bitching on AoC forums about how crap it is or.....Aoc players find it more interesting on the forums than in game ?

Lmao and where did you get niche game from all this insane reasoning ?? lol, just cause a game has a P*** poor population cause its barely alive doesnt make it a niche game , lmao you kill me .

Love your last statemnt after all you said, "And it even might be growing....."

 

Someone please tell me this post was suppose to be pure sarcasm??

 

lmao you give me most joke , pure class.

It gives me no pleasure that WAR isn't doing too well.

What makes me happy though is experiencing first hand all the improvements to Age of Conan, and the increased activity on the server I play. Even If I wanted to I couldn't go back to a game with bright neon colored cartoon armor. I really like the brutal low-fantasy world in AoC, not to mention the PvP in this game, which is the best I've experienced in an mmorpg.
