If people dont like Aion why would they be cruising the Aionsource website to begin with-- this poll doesnt hold a lot of merit to me-- its like someone starting a poll on this site as to whether or not people like mmos

I got the game after reading all the stuff in these forums and boy was i fooled. Thanx fanbois for making we waste my money... canceling my account and waiting for another mmo to come i guess.... have fun with that crap fest

P.s. The guy on first page that gave it a 8.0 rating but then said he would quit if it got more grindy at 30... how the F can you give something like this a 8 and then say your gonna leave in the same sentence... lololololololol

 

GAME IS CRAP-----DONT BELEIVE THE HYPE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

the irony is that youre a warhammer player.

Let me correct you Mr. Foreskin - i am an mmo player- i have played them all at one time or another- and Aion is near the bottom of the list for me- Free DDo is better than Aion lmao

Im slow and your a douche so...... maybe that big whinefest known as Rhuin left from order side the other guilds on DC order didnt do anything but follow Rhuin around anyway so they dont even count, but the big destro guilds are still there,there just never were any guilds like Rhuin on Destro side. My guild has 400+ active members and 20-75 on at any given time all level 40.

If you played AOC at release you would know how much better WAR was at  release. AOC was damn near unplayable for 50% of people and the other half got max level and had nothing to do the game was over..everything was so borked only thing left to do was make a new toon... so yes AOC did need a miracle patch to make the game work, matter of fact they had multiple miracle patches. It took AOC a year to get its shit right and now WAR maybe on the same track a year later,but in the last year WAR had a lot going on, AOC did not.

If you really read my posts instead of picking it a part looking for some way to insult me, you would see that i said WAR has issues and some of the major ones are being addressed with this patch....there is still alot of fun to be had in WAR and if you dont think so then thats you.

But it was my fault for posting in these forums, these are the most hostile,hate filled,whinefest forums on the web. No one here lets people have an opinion or debate things without flaming everything they dont agree with. So ill take this one on the chin, and excuse the fuck outta me for trying to let people who left WAR over some of the games issues know that they seem to be getting a fix and the END-game might be worth a run again

I'm afraid it's a bit late for that.  Every patch for the last year has been THE patch and you are actually falling for it again?

 

 

 

Obviously you dont play WAR..troll

WAR is not AOC, its not a game that has been hanging around by a thread waiting on some miracle patch to make it work. The last patch borked the high end game, and this new patch should fix it again, and make the high end game more accessible for players.

 

Pretty sure that's what it was like for a lot of people. Every patch has a group of people calling it the do or die patch for them, and every month the game has shrunk (?) more and more.

 

They released an 'expansion' "patch" and you could almost hear a pin fall over the 'overwhelming' reaction to it.

Apparently you dont play either, i have been playing since release. Has it had problems ,yes. Have they borked things in patches yes. Has the population decreased,yes.. but yet and still there has never been a so-called "miracle patch" that i have heard about that was suppose to triple the population and make this the game of the year. It was never that broke ,nothing like AOC or Vanguard were,to need a miracle patch. No miracle is needed they broke something and are now fixing it, and if you played WAR's endgame you know what im talking about.

And the expansion/patch you speak of was very tiny and really had nothing to do with what core WAR was all about, i still havent done the expansion cuz im not into PVE carebear stuff, and most i play with arent either, its just sumthin to do in the downtime between battles.

My post was focused at a patch that IS going to bring back alot of people who left over the last patch,because they addressed and are fixing issues that ran alot of people away to AION. And our population will increase again, will it be the same it was the day of release ,NO. Just about every game on the market has a population decrease,no game is keeping their pop from release day and to think they will is ignorant.... only game is WOW that over the years population grew and grew.

WAR isnt for everyone and never will be,its not EQ or WOW or AOC where you grind quests to level that not what the game is about and once people learn that it turns alot away.

There is still a lot of people that like this game and they will love the next patch.

You have never played and bring he say/she say opinions to the forums. There alot of people who will disagree with your statement and mine, but im not here to win freinds or recruit you or others to WAR.

WAR's end game was borked after the last patch and they are working at fixing that so all of the existing players and ones who got mad over last patch will like the changes and if you left ,you should give it a go again after next patch, i think all will be pleased.

What about people like myself that have multiple xfire accounts -- what about people who use xfire but only did 10- day free trials of games-- it still shows up in xfire as a game they own not a trial --- so how the hell is xfire accurate again ????

Using xfire to measure numbers,trends,etc leaves you with nothing more than a GUESSTIMATION at best

LIKE I SAID BEFORE BASED ON YOUR MATH MY WAR GUILD MAKES UP 15-20% OF THE ENTIRE WAR POPULATION-- so one guild on one server on one side (destro) makes up 15-20% of the entire pop of war ?

BTW if your posting this garbage to predict how Aion is gonna do, why not post this in the Aion forums---- or let the truth be told wow-fanboy should post in wow forums FTL

But you have to instal and log into xfire when playing games for it to count--- so what your saying is a program that probably less than half of the gaming population uses is an accurate thing to measure current population of certain games ????????   your for real ????? ---  are you a little slow or something---- so i guess i can go to logitech website and see how many people bought g-15 keyboards and that will also give me an accurate population count of a certain game to?

I like feeding trolls but his troll isnt as smart as most-- so i think im done feeding him-- have fun your little fantasy world troll

xfire is crap way to figure out anything ----- i have over 40 players in my fps clan more than half rarely log into xfire--- and we have about 200 ACTIVE players in my WAR guild alone--- so your telling me that 15-20% of WAR population is from my guild alone-- lmao gtfo troll

the only thing xfire tells you is how many people who play any games actually log into xfire while playing-- thats it

Sorry NEWHOPES but i think your wrong. There will be a percentage that have been hearing the overhype and will truly be let down when they leave WAR to go to Aion. Some will be back if only because WAR was the only thing they were playing before Aion and if they quit they will want something to play and they will go back to something familiar,until the next ""big mmo" comes out.

Even tho WAR's endgame may be a lil borked atm, i still think it has more potential than any game out or coming out atm to bring back their population.

As any vetran knows WAR has had issues since release,but only since Aion has been being beta'd and release announced have people really been SCREAMING /ragequit over some of these issues. Most people have fought thru the "issues" because they actually like WAR and want to see it succeed and there wasnt anything new to play. Now a new game is on the horizon some see it  as " grass may be greener on the other side" type deal.

At least on my server (Dark Crag) now that the tide has turned and order is getting ROLLED daily they are blaming bugs  for their exodus to AION,which is nothing more than an excuse because their EZMODE has been taken away. When Order were winning they never complained about any bugs,exploits,crashes,lag,etc. Now that they are losing BADLY all the excuses come out cuz they really just want to try Aion and cant take losing so they blame some OLD bugs that have been around for there reason for leaving.

Its a rather pathetic sight when one side fights thru population imbalance,op classes,bugs,lag,etc for 8 months while getting their butts kicked, to finally start winning to have the other side start to lose and blame their losing on every fault they can find in WAR instead of just taking it like a man and fighting back------------now its WAR sucks and  has to many bugs thats why were losing so were going to Aion ,when destro fought thru twice as many problems. ORDER ON DC ARE THE WHINIEST SORE LOSERS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN ANY MMO OVER THE PAST 9 YEARS.

C YA WHEN YOU GET BACK FROM AION

imo aion is overhyped-- its not the nail-- people will be back after they get a month of aion

gotta love how he says " i dont do the open RVR"

and RVR is what the game is all about - its like 80% of the game - what a tard

Stargate dead ? It was never alive

Actually, WAR brought a few new and good things to the table. Public quests, balance between pve and pvp and the ability to enter the fray straight out of the box, to name a few. Unfortunately, the end game is so incredibly borked that not many can stomach to play past T3. Server populations are dying quickly. Those with strong stomachs, or low expectations, jump to the 3 or 4 servers that can still field teams on both sides. Most of us, though, are surfing the net for our next waste of time.

 

It's not just the endgame that is borked. The whole game design is flawed imho. Things like the limitation to two factions in RvR (haven't we learned anything in the past years from other games?). Or what happens to T1-T3 once the majority of the playerbase has hit level 40? How to keep all the zones, PQs and scenarios in T1 to T3 alive? Long ago someone has calculated the total number of players required in T1-T4 in order to keep all scenarios, PQs and BOs active. The number was far bigger than the server would be ever able to handle. This alone tells us something about Mythics development process. Like game designers never talk to the software engineers.

Should every MMORPG developer company ask themselfes: How can I keep this game being fun in the long run? How can I keep the game attractive to newbies even if most players have reached max level?

Most players have multiple char, some even use there lower level toons to lock lower tiers then jump back on main. So theres always people moving thru the lower level areas, maybe not as much as people would like to see but enuff to lock the tiers out.

There is know way to figure out how many people it takes to lock all aspects of the world. I think your statement is one big lie or someone lied to you. Its impossible to figure that out, way to many variables to come out with one number.

With so many variables like players level,class,number of players,pve or rvr server, ability to sneak in keeps,gear,amount of enemy defending certain points,how close respawn points are to particular objectives,skill of players attacking or defending,rekown ranks,pq exploits/glithces,lag,persons computer specs, and more.

So i call BS on your post, you could have done better to at least make your flame sound convincing or provided proof..liar.

Heck, I play a warrior priest on Dark Crag.  The SC que's and even the RvR there is pretty lively. Now, I wanted to make a destruction alt to play when my group wasn't online to do things with. I literally tried every single server for SC que's while leveling up etc and I can promise you as a destruction player on the other realms, scenario que's in T1 T2 are typically about 30 minutes to hours apart which ruined my drive to even try Destruction out.

 

Lesson: If you want to try Warhammer out, you had better pick Dark Crag as it's the only active server on the game

Volkmar is lively but order owns destro bad

Iron rock is always lively tho most action seems to be tier 1 , 2 and 4

Dark Crag is also lively .. it is full rvr rules  so if you dont want to get farmed by higher level toons it may not be for you. But if you like gang raping higher level toons farming lowbies you will like it, but RVR in PVE areas is scarce,usually higher guys farming lower level toons in PQ's if anything at all

absolutely nothing..lolz

But seriously i tried the game again after a couple of months, and both my toon servers are completely dead. Scenarios never pop and no body to RVR with. This game has completly died, officially. All the oceanic servers are dead even though they offer players a low ping, are the american servers the same?????

 

Supbro

Its good for one thing--- bringing retards out in these forums to bash it

They did a lot of server transfers--my main 3 servers have a very nice population. instant scenarios almost 24 hrs a day, tons of rvr.

 Just because some moron logs into WAR and finds out his old servers are dead makes it "official"-- gtfo

You OFFICIALLY  put more time into this flame thread than you did even looking to see if there were populated servers.

Its damn sure aint the greatest game around,but its fun for me and a few buddies to screw around with to pass time until something better comes out.

You know what the saddest thing about Warhammer Online is?

The original game that got shut down because Games Workshop thought it wasn't "economically viable" was going to be akin to a sandbox game, as it was based off the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying game. Thing SWGs system in a fantasy setting and you're pretty damn close.

So, yeah...

It's pretty much GW's fault that we don't have a very nice sandbox game sitting on the market right now.

( Well, other than Wish, which also got shut down due to the fact it cost too much. I'm seeing a pattern, here. )

shuda,cuda,wuda who cares !!!!

I think WAR is an OK game - who cares what they may have made it years ago--- GTFO

I would say  DO NOT PURCHASE any video cards at this time, save your money and wait until August/September. Nvidia will be releasing the first card that supports Direct x 11 the GT300 series. Which everyone will eventually have to upgrade to (not that particular card but Direct X 11) . Im sure ATI will be right behind them with thier own version.
