Title says it all

P.S. If you don't have the system to play this DX10 monster ... don't hate the game ... hate the player.

Indeed and there is a free trial in case you do not believe the OP.

Being Back does not make it perfect, patch 1.05, which will be released soon(few weeks) will address the itemisation in the game. That will be the last of the major patches to bring the game up to speed.

After which we can look forward to pvp enhancements and what ever they have in store for us in the up coming expansion.

Im a previous hater. I LOVE the game now. Download the freetrial and join us! The box is out at a reduced price now too if you should decide to sub

I agree 100 per.

all well and good but nobody wants a trial. they want to have free time on their already existing accounts to see if content has been added where they quit, and maybe some CE items that were as advertised. and well, that apology. satisfy those criteria and most (I will atleast) will be likely to try it out.

i dont need a trial where I can get to...level 20...remember that bit before about the launch? LOL the idea is just ludicrous

The Vet Return will come. They are probably waiting till patch 1.05 is released.

It would be a smarter move too. Why let vets come back now, while gear, stats, attributes and skills still mean jack sjit?

It's better to have that addressed first with applying patch 1.05 to live and then reinviting old players back to the game.

Not to mention that Commons District will be launched then too, wich fixes the last content gap.

That way they will have a much higher chance of getting old players to resub again.

Just my 2cents

Hmm I pretty sure the apology was made by Craig when he took over. Thought I read that somewhere.

Cut of your nose to spite your face lately?  j/k :)   I hope you get all of those things if thats what you need.

Enjoy your gaming mate.

It will prob take longer than a few weeks to the 1.05 to hit live since it is a big patch with lots of tweaking that needs to be done. Also remember that it takes about a week from a patch hits live until its playable:) (they never learn..... hotfixes and so)

I dont recall an apology which adressed the gms and cms jackassery, nor the lies.

BUt yeah a will return on a vet trial, i spent so much buying the fucking game itd be stupid not to. but i wont partake in a trial in which i could see the already 'tweked to make the game look like its not shit' content only, and not the part where I got to where it all fell apart

Its still not right! Everyone still look boring and bland.

They have this amazing grahic engine and then they use it to make people look more boring than a game from 2001.

Its not really that bad that items still dont mean much, if you had them make you look cool instead and then relied on character skill to make the difference in power and ability.

But items are both meaningless AND boring to look at and the next patch only remove the meaninlessness.

Hmm I disagree.  I play AoC with graphics setting on max and on my 27" monitor I can see the detail in the leather banding used to wrap my sword handle and bow. When my HoX pulls his sword and strikes he grimaces and grunts, same with my ranger, are you watching their faces when ur avatar fights? What game do you think looks better cause I would like to try it?

No, the title doesn't say it all. What's so "right" about it this time?  What was fixed?  The last I recall, AoC was a miserable piece of crap, so it's going to take more than a wink and a "trust me" to get me playing it again.

Like I said, it takes more than a wink and a "trust me." If you can't even list a few things they fixed, I think it's safe to assume that the game is still a miserable piece of crap.

Its not about better looking graphics, its about looking good and unique.

One of the key elements in the Hyboria IP is the amazing looks of people and places. The places they got right but the people are bland and boring to look at.

You wear you sack of potatoes as a ranger until lvl 80 and then you will after some time look like every other ranger with your class armor. . . . boring.

They had 1500 different armor SETs in the game from the start. Why didnt they allow the players to choose and select for themselves how they wanted to look. The toon bodies after all is quite good looking and some fitting gear to put over it would have been nice, gear that marked you as an individual.

Look at a simple game like TCoS. Gear there is for looks and have very little impact on the outcome of the game but people look cool even with the simpler graphics. So no one complains about the little impact gear has even though its actually technically much worse than it ever was in AoC.

Well technically they are in a good state:

The memory leaks are gone.

There is no gap of quests anywhere anymore so no more villa grinding.

The endgame PvP actually works now.

There is PvP xp and PvP rewards.

Lots of endgame dungeons but I dont like raiding so . .

But dont bother with going back until at least after patch 1.05 where they revamp the entire core of mechanics and all the item systems and the crafting system. And even then you still have the "sack of potatoes" problem in the game.

Lol you said  "assume" ... I'm not even gonna go there.

Enjoy some other game then ... I hope you did not buy AoC yet because for you it was a terrible waste of $50 bucks if you did.

That's what I figured. At least you finally admit it.

I also have to strongly disagree. I think there are many sources here on mmorpg.com and even outside of mmorpg.com that suggests the need for free trials. The same goes hand and hand with revaluation periods for players who tried the game and well did not like it due to issues or simply game design. Thus it's important to us to provide these trials based on the feedback as well giving gamers a way to try a game for FREE rather than other needs.

Age of Conan wont be for everyone and there will be issues with our game just like every other game out there. The launch issues we had are things we have been focused on crushing and as you can see from a number of feedback threads out there that the issues I speak of have becomed addressed more and more with each update. As for game design or style of flavor with any game, not just ours, that will always be there because everyone has their own opinions on what the perfect MMO is to them. :)
