General Discussion

So for the people saying it's broken what's broken about it i haven't played or tested it so i'm just curious most MMO are like this i think it's impossible for a MMO to release with a few kinks... I'm also curious about the xbox 360 version is it going to come out a year later i'm sure most if not the majority of the bugs will be ironed out by then but i'm just curious if there is any news on that as well?

I used to be hyped but after hearing guildies saying it's not very good I'm a little more realistic about it. I'll more than likely still try it out but when hardcore MMO vets stop testing a hyped up game like this then you know something is very very wrong.

Trying to remember back to WoW's launch. to remember how horrible certain aspects of the game were compared to the version we play today.

No battlegrounds, no honor, no arenas, population probs - servers maxed out and 1 hour waits to get in, server crashes, random DC's, Black Rock Spire / onyxia as endgame...

 im trying to remember all of this so that i don't freakout at AoC needing patches to sort, balance, add stuff.

The best we can hope for is that the basic gameplay is sound, that no classes are broken and that there is enough to keep most entertained up to the first content patches. :)

ooh and hoping I dont have to wait to long to ride my Rhino :D

 

good job man! ace on the points on allowing people to remember that wow wasnt what it is today, it had a start, and the start was a truly rugged bumpy journey  to where it is now. im trying myself to remember that as well and use that as a bassis to remember when the game is a tad bit buggy or there is other issues, and realize, its gonna happen, the devs arent perfect, theyll patchit, but the question will be, how buggy is it, and how much needs to be patched.

Ive played most mass market MMO's and some smaller ones as well, including, AO, EVE, Planetside, L2, WOW, Lotro etc etc, and the AOC beta runs like a charm, im having a blast, and for the first time in a very long run, I cant wait to log in and advance my char. Its a wonderfully imersive universe, and of what I see, its as polished as Lotro was at this stage, coming close to WOW's open beta, which was near perfect.

Its a great game hands down, and im looking forward to a good many months running the plains of Hyboria.

Its not a Vanguard launch, nor is it a D & L or AO launch, by far.

Honestly,. i cant understand all the negative comments, I truly dont see it.

Keep the comments reasonable.
