Btw, LotrO had around 3,000 XFire users a year ago.

What I find sad is that people really think that posting a campaign of troll and hate posts on forums influences the population of a game.

You do realize that this thread was opened by someone who wanted to show how AoC doing good on xfire, right? So he is not the one posting on forums to influence the population of the game but the people disagree with him?

Enthusiasm for a game I can understand.

obviously, we can see that

But keeping on posting hate and anti-posts of a game that they don't even play but only intensely dislike for months after months up to years. It sounds sooooo... childish and petty.

something funny about hate and anti-posts; if they are full of BS they are easy to counter, entertaining also! I dont know about childish, age on the internet elude me but what is petty is telling outright, blatant lies in order to get more money. Wonder who did that before

I often suspect those people to have sad, meaningless lives if this is what gives them enjoyment, hate ranting for years about merely a game and doing nothing else online. Sad, actually.

 Again, this is a flawed argument because with the same type of argument i can say, "if you like the game why are you bothered with some kids post, go play the game, surely a game that awesome cant be hurt by hearsay"

Ah well, to each their own life.

tru dat

on topic; please let this thread die. Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.

This talking points in this topic have gone full circle several times over now, let's go ahead and close this up.

I am not sure why my threat title was edited by the forum moderators, but what was said is indeed true.

The topic was changed to direct conversation to the topic of a core game mechanic that is still not working properly.

That's all.  Do proceed to make your case however; as it's an interesting topic and definitely worth discussing.

Thank you for your interest in Alganon. I am so happy for you.

But before you make a final decision, I would recommend that you use the available trial if you have not already.

Once you have done this, then maybe you can come back and write some constructive, neutral and balanced posts about your time. Even if you have tried Alganon, you can still have a go at writing some constructive, neutral and balanced posts about your time there.

Fond regards and see you in Alganon :)
 

 

Can someone please ban this loser? Dude you are pathetic to say the least. What are you trying to prove exactly? i really wonder...Albert was right...Stupidity knows no boundaries.

 

I would excuse you if you were 18 yrs old...but...50? come ooooooon. GET A LIFE.

 

Being banned from here is not exactly a loss

Meet the hammer.

Good information. 

I notice that AOC correspondent Throgrimm has updated the sticky: RISE-OF-THE-GODSLAYER-UPDATES with this article and another related to the update; so I'm going to direct folks to that thread.

Thank you both for keeping the community updated!

Also, 1000 kills IS a lot.  that's 17 hours of farming one freakin mob.  Half a work week, for a little stupid video game item.  5,000 kills is beyond insane.  And why would that matter?  I dunno.  Take for example the pirate costume pieces.  You want to be a pirate?  Well too bad, it's not in the costume creator.  You have to grind for it.  But wait, Crypitic will sell it to you for only $10.  WHAT A DEAL! (sarcasm :p)

hmm well to be honest I dont know wether if this is true or not, but even if it is so what? Its not meant for you to stand around and grind its more of a thing you get as a bonus while progressing through-out the game, kinda a bit like WAR did with its "trophies"

Also the color system is completely borked, just like i said.  Re-read my explanation.  I gave a specific example.  When the game goes live, if youre actually going to buy it, try it.  Do a "gradient" or "blend" color scheme and 2 colors.  then try to match it w/ the hands, legs, feet, head, anything.  You wont be able to.

Once again, this game has except from CoX the best character custimation system of any mmo, perhaps any game ever! Thats not an opionion its fact, the number of possible looks and colorings are un-countable. So what you cant gradiant a whole suit cause your too lazy to do every piece for yourself.

If your talking about the pattern ofth it. Personally I have so many accesories that it wouldnt have mattered much for me anyhow the colorings, ex the crosses and lightnings and so on then they dont always match thats true, but there are many that do if your that obsessed with

Focusing on the costume creator as it is probably the main thing this game has going for it & the main thing ALL reviews on it praise first & foremost, above all else in the game.

If you can't see how having something as generic & desireable by the player base as a pirate costume as a group of unlocks that would literally take you more time to get than there are working hours in a month; then I dont know what else to say.

They cant on one hand say they have a great costume creator, & that they're going to add more costume pieces & players can make whatever they want.  And then on the other hand say, to make some things you have to jump through a million hoops first.  Why is it OK for them to allow you to make a ninja as a starting char.  But if you want to make a pirate you have to make a completely unrelated costume and spend an eternity grinding perks just to get your char to look how you want?

For a game that puts emphasis on aesthetic variety & FREEDOM; their implementation is severely limited.  Most likely as to create artificial value to increase their microtransaction sales.  Not cool.

p.s. the gradent blend is a pattern.  A pattern which doesnt carry across to the rest of the body as it should.  again, because the end of the gradient isn't at the secondary color, it's at a blend of a color.  Yet the beginning of the next costume piece doesnt start at the end of another blend but at the hard palette color.  so it's impossible to match by design.

I just can't forgive this game, it has too many flaws for me to overlook (even it's most redeeming quality is hampered by artificial walls); & their handling of their policies seem exploitive & contrary to player's interests

And with that note, this topic has come full circle.
