Age of Conan

1) It's still a beta, stop with the woe cries.

2) The open beta client is actually two builds older than the current closed beta one. This was done to create abnormal stress to their servers and find a LOT of quest bugs.

3) The Debugger is still running since the last patch, even though we were told it was going to be shut off :(.

4) The Client is SO large because it is currently uncompressed so the debugger can work at 100% efficiency and help find problems MUCH faster and easier than if the client were compiled.

5) Due to the client being uncompressed the textures have to be called correctly and THEN go through the debugger. This causes excruciating lag. Since not being compiled alone can cause a lot of lag when loading resources. The debugger really isn't helping any at this point with promotion of AoC. However, it is helping by leaps and bounds on their technical side!

6) Keep in mind there are still roughly 25k people across 4 servers crammed into about 6% of the current game world. Theres going to be lag with all the above for mentioned stuff.

7) There is still the Gold build that will be in the boxes shipped out at release. This is at least 3 to 4 builds ahead of the current OB build (considering it's age). A LOT will change from now till then. So any class issues etc "should" be different by then!

So in the end, saying that AoC is in a state of utter crap 2weeks before launch = showing your low IQ. Please read the official announcements and closed Beta leaks before you start crying and making up complete nonsense.

SO, I simply write something factual and informative. If they choose to ignore it their low IQ is shown.

Good enough? :D

Note how he says the Pvp Weekend build was newer than the open beta build. This means the open beta build is 2 builds or more older than closed beta. It was later confirmed by ANOTHER moderator in an unrelated topic when it started going Off Topic :).

Well, I'll take the information you've provided on faith as true.  But these two statements conflict with one another a bit.

I've heard that the CB is a few builds ahead of the open beta, but I'm not seeing how the gold build can be 3/4 builds ahead, since in theory, that would have already been shipped to the manufacturers for creation.  Unless you are including the patches they'll toss on the gold build after you install, then I can see it gaining a few more builds.

Doesn't really matter, in 3 weeks the mystery will be over, and we'll know for sure.

Yes sir/mam, I was indeed referring to the patches upon launch day after installation :)!

I'm getting hella annoyed at all the "2weeks till launch OMGBBQ NOT READEHZ!" threads everywhere, and the forum mods not allowing me to call them complete $%$#$%@ idiots.

I am sick of the hate also...now, if the game was released and played like this, I sure would be all over it (oh wait..I have done that...oops...lol...another game...better not think about that junk...)...but, I at least understand this is development final's here....they have a chance to recoup.

Also, the post you linked is from a Moderator...I am unsure if we can call that actual factual...

A dev post would be better...but I do not think we will see that..

Really wish we knew for sure why they did this...

Ok...later!
