Age of Conan

Those of you judging AoC based on the 1-20 area that was stated as being the "tutorial" starter area of AoC you FAIL badly, and show just how little you know about judging the quality of an MMO.

I'm going to laugh at ALL of you naysaying kids listening to others and not trying it yourself (the open world itself past 20) a month after the game comes out.

You don't have to be a "fanboi" to not produce ignorant and stupid statements. Judging a game before you even play it?

YOU FAIL

well lets see...50k people playing lvl 1-13 only

cant get off starter area

NDA still in effect for levels 1-13

what do we have to judge a game? levels we actually played or the fairyland imagination of what lvl 20+ MIGHT be like?

You sir, fail.

Hate to tell you this but the starter area is the first big area to immerse people into the game. If you fail here you need to work even harder after it.

Who's constantly putting down Funcom because their open beta "stress test" old client runs poorly on crap computers? NOT ME!!

Who's trying to flame AoC because they had no intention of testing AoC, and are trying to plug WAR and WoW? NOT ME!!....case and point read the WAR and WoW forums....done and done.

You sir, are the one who has failed.

A game should hook a player in the first few levels and put its best face forward by that point.  This open beta isn't some sort of bug hunt, it is one large marketing campaign.  That is what all open betas are now, marketing.

A game should not need to be played to high levels to give an indication if it will be enjoyable or to see if performance improves.  It should offer those things as soon as you log in for the first time. 

Note: I am not making an opinion on Conan one way or the other here, just that I think the original posters idea is fatally flawed.

This is the main reason once you get 1 toon to 20+, all your toons after that will start at 20 if you choose.

My guild of 50+ individuals are hooked on AoC, and were hooked by the open beta. If you aren't hooked thats fine, but don't start flame threads ON the game saying it blows.

Nuff Said

FYI: Devs stated the game doesn't actually start until 20, and 1-20 should maybe take you a couple hours. Don't start arguments you lose badly at.

YOU FAIL

 

AoC community is FAIL due to immature losers like yourself. Get over yourself already because you sir are fail.

Sorry that we can't stand children like yourself and turn you to ashes on our forums before you understand how truly petty you really are.

The reason they did it like this is because their free trial system will consist of unlimited access to the Tortage area 1-20. If and when you want to buy and play the REAL game, you then gain access to the whole game post 20.

This was the most stupid thing they could have done and it shouldn't matter what you get in the retail package. The starter area is where you want to leave the customer with a great impression. All they have done was create nothing but bad press for them self.  Maybe they can get out of it like they did AO or maybe they won't but right now a lot of pre-orders are being canceled and they can only blame them selves.

Immature losers? Excuse me sir, but we are only considered "immature" because of all the WoW children coming on our forums for the past month doing WoW>AoC about 100x a day.
