Like several people in these comments, I came back to AOC two months ago, and I can say (with my two accounts pre-paid for a year each) that the game has improved ten-fold, and the Godslayer adds even that much more. Without a doubt, this is fully the best MMO on the market, and seriously, nothing else even comes close out there. Is it perfect? No, nothing is, and there are things that still need tweaking or fixing, but overall, AOC just plain rocks. Most involved melee combat, most interesting caster combat with spellweaving, most adult stealth system, and best pvp system. Oh yeah, best graphics too (but it does require a beefy system for this, it still looks great if your system is middle of the road). The only complaint I have is that when they redesigned the crafting and loot system, they made it so having at least blue quality loot is now almost a must. Before, you could use green quality loot and compete just fine and blue and purple epic loot was just a bonus, but now it's like every other game out there in that some loot is just trash, so you'll have to work and dig for more quests and make sure you have at least some blue items to round out your gear pre-80. At 80, you'll want to join in raiding when you can but by this time you should have enough gold to get you a set of cultural armor and a good crafted weapon to set you down your path to raiding. Regardless of the designation, as long as that aircraft is assigned to drop things in the dirt, it's a target, not a fighter. - Robert Shaw, "Fighter Combat: Tactics and Maneuvering" |

I resubed. So far my expereince has been very good. It is pretty much the way the game should have been at launch. FC really came up with the goods on this one. Now about some polish in the other areas..... |

I use to play WOW. Since I've been playing Age of Conan I won't go back. Age of Conan is awesome! TamperingMonkey |

The best "re-review" in the world won't get me to go back to AoC. Been there, done that, have the shirt and was abused enough by them.
There are just too many new games coming out on the market to go back to a game that has already let you down once.
Same with STO (my latest let down). Cryptic screwed us and let us down, time to move on to the next game of the month ... and why would I go back to a game that already let me down when I don't have time as it is, to get to all the games I want to play?
Competition is a wonderous thing. |

Originally posted by Yamota QFT. AOC is a great PvE game. But that only holds my interest long enough for me to realize their is no end-game PvP point to all the PvE. |

Originally posted by Daredent Meh, ya know, the game has really gone in the PVE-focusing direction by the looks. And that's ok, I mean...if I want PVP, I'll re-sub to Darkfall and do it right. Although, the AoC devs recently posted about some upcoming PVP changes that might add some spice to the game in that area...who knows?? |

I was searching for another game to play other than WOW which i have played for years. I had read this review and downloaded AOC. I have been impressed so far. I always have thought that if someone could merge the best elements of RPG games like Age of Origins or Mass Effect with an MMO game like WOW then it would be really awesome. It was going to happen someday. Well this update to AOC seems to almost be there. The character customization is really quite good. Not as good as what you do in BioWare games but generations ahead of WOW. Let's face it that if you are going to be spending a lot of time with a toon you create then you would like it to your's and not look like everyone else. AOC did a very good job with this. The fighting feels a lot different from WOW. It feels fun and does not feel like grinding yet. I have not mastered it yet, but it seems real cool and the sound and visual effects are quite impressive. The quests are decent and pretty well marked out. The questing follows a model more closely with the BioWare MassEffect method. It kind of forces you to pay attention. In WOW you just pick up the quests and get on with it. (I wonder if anyone really reads WOW quests other than newbs?) So it seems that AOC is trying to develop a storyline of sorts although it is not completely clear to me yet. The graphics in this game are just stunning in my view. It will push your machine. On the downside here it seems that the number of players has diminished substantially since the start of it's release because of past problems which i gladly missed. It would be a shame to see this effort die because i think AOC is really close to something pretty great. I am going to place a bet that a few good reviews and continued improvement and attention to detail will grow the population again. People play MMO games for the social aspects. If the social aspects are missing or dying then you might as well play an RPG game like what BioWare produces. The computer can be a pretty tough adversary. We play MMO's because we want to compete and work with other humans. I cannot really comment on the social machinary of this game yet but it looks like the framework is there. The listing of guilds looked pretty sparse. If that is all the guilds, then the game really needs some serious work to get the population rising again. |
