Age of Conan

Wow you folks do not know how much this sounds and looks like what was being said before Vanguard was released.

As a paid viral marketer I assure everyone the game will be great, launch will be perfect, and you should all pre-order your collectors edition at $599 to get your free King Conan flush toilet throne, complete with skull toilet paper holder.

No...but, you adjust the seats...move the mirrors, maybe put some stuff in the glove box?

 

I call that "tweaking"

I would liken that to adjusting the UI in game and key bindings, just for personal comfort right?

 

 

Going into the game folder and adjusting settings there is like opening the hood and fiddling with the engine.

I did not have to do this...and there is no .ini file (I looked, as I am a massive tweaker)

 

I had to move some sliders is all in the game itself...(and really all I did on two machines is hit Medium and then turned up some stuff and turned on some other stuff I liked)

Where MOST of my tweaking took place was on my computer, as I like to do that to get the most speed..

I have no doubts there are driver issues, certain hardware issues...but, I also know that all the "reports" everyone is sending in (everyone is doing that part...right?) will help in this matter...

You don't read too well.... Sorry.

Was there in the BETA Vanguard and believe me if you want, AoC is more solid by all means. So this is not even a good comparison at all.

i dont understand why so many people continue to base how the game is still performing in BETA as to how it will when it goes live...

Because with less then two weeks until launch, beta releases have been very close to, if not exactly what the retail release will be.  That's what has many of us concerned.

  But if they are, and i believe they are, working hard to patch it? Will it improve?

sadly, it look like Funcom did'nt learn from the horrible launch of Anarchy Online.   With only a few days before launch the game is still bugged like hell, crashes, lag, hitching, bad fps.   I was really confident that the folks at Funcom would have learned something, but as of today, Conan seems to be heading in the same direction of anarchy online.  

Hope i'm wrong, but i don't see how they could turn the game around in 2 weeks if this is the result for 4-5 years of developpement.

Ha ha ... nice one WAR fanboy. The game is playable, there is just some issues mainly because
Nvidias latest drivers are buggy. Using an older version of Nvidias driver (169.44) made wonders.

I admit I was scepticle the first time i tried playing the OB client. But after applying the fixes and tweaks recommended I am nothing but confident
AOC will rock for most people.

Perhaps, but in my experience, no miracles occur in a month, major improvements to software are slow processes that take many months to implement, so expecting a miracle from the last month of patching (where they frequently break as many things as they fix) isn't realistic.

They say the game plays better in CB, we'll have to believe them until release day comes, then we'll know for sure.

But I doubt it will be as shaky as AO's launch was.

I was in Beta III of AO (and then into the collapse that was Beta IV) and this game is NOwhere near that of AO.  I played for hours last night and only had one crash the entire time (right at the end when my computer locked up) and I'm on a PoS rig with a PoS video card (3100+ Sempron, x1300pro with 1.5gb of ddr400 ram), so I'm very much at the bottom of the requirements list and I was still able to play (with some obvious zone loading issues as my computer decided I should be slain with prejudice for even contemplating this ;))

I crashed every time I zoned in BIII and BIV was even worse of AO and that was just a couple days before launch.

The hardware to run this isn't stuff that won't be available for anothre 5 years, it is stuff that has been available for a year or more.  Come on, an E6500 isn't a state of the art chip here!  Lightyears ahead of my beast, but that is my problem, not theirs and my video card is arguably worse than the minimum.

I think AoC will be fine in their launch and yes, I'm one who lived through the nightmare of Anarchy Online (or rather as it was called Anarchy Offline)
