Now they stick an installer on your machine that streams the files down to appropriate dirs on your drive.  Funcom has more installer problems than any other company.   See under Tech Support forums and see for yourself.  For those who live in an area with limited wiring and DSL seem to have the most problems.   I have no firewalls, virus protection, blocked ports with virtually no download problems with any other client/installer except theirs.   I take my computer to work where there is security up the butt and AOC installer works fine.   Its a pain to do every time it needs patching.  Its pipe size to the installer where it chokes.   Hopefully this is their answer to the many complaints they have received regarding this issue.   Hopefully it works.  If not skip the client/installer provide the client and pathces to be downloaded without it or let fileplanet provide the client and patches for download.

CrimeCraft,  should have left that one off the list and the game should have been called CrimeStrike since its more like counterstrike.   Some like Champions and DC are filling a void since only COH/V wich is 5 years old and still kicking strong are available,  perfect opportunity to apply now.   Companys that put out MMO's that play the way "they"  think mmo's should be done probably wont work,   ie:  CrimeCraft and I hope im wrong about that.   Hopefully, he meant  "they" reasearched the hell out of players opinions, experiences with the most popular mmo's to decide how they should work.  Well thats the business decision and its not going to be popular with a lot. 

F*&k China.   What a country.   No one can do business unless China is part of it.   Are they afraid thier's hidden political propoganda in the code?  They can comb through it, Steal it, produce their own insert propoganda as they deem appropriate.   Hopefully they kick WOW outta China causing riots and and overthrow of the government haha.    They must be afraid of  WOW being another opium for the people lol, remember your history.   We let them sell their products all over this country without this shit.  Even poison our Kids, Pets and Families with their products.  Hell complete housing tracts are unlivable because the drywall made in China contained so much damn sulfer.  Would really be interesting to know the details of this "joint venture" required contract.   Joint Venture is a form of business partner so how do you keep a partner from proprietary information.  Im sure Blizzard has the legal crew necessary to make the right decision.  I do not trust that government, Sorry.  Now are we going to get people defecting to the U.S. to play WOW?  Just a joke (I hope:)).  

OP, Where did the links to  descriptions of weapons come from?   If from Beta your supposed to stick to the NDA but I dont care im just curious if its from the Korean ver. using the patch.   If so maybe they missed translation for numbers.    Thanks very much for the time and effort in that post.  Lots of information.  The numbers just seem weird but the pics prove them in writing.   I did not experience anything out of the ordinary with cooldowns, etc. but then again didnt get char maxed out.   Their I just blew the NDA myself.

All MMOs are fun when they are first out. Give me a REAL reason.

Cryptic did it, thats why.   Who knows,  so far the mechanics and graphics are solid.  I will be a little dissapointed if leveling system is not similar to COH/V (skills and enhancments for those skills alternating each level), but thats just me.  To really explain why would blow the NDA so sorry I wish I could.  In Fact I just had to go up and re-edit this post to not disclose whats in game already.  Sorry.

Many of us already bought the game when AV assured us that we would be taken care of at launch. Currently their idea of taking care of you is to ask you to repurchase the game.

 

Well, this is what every other MMO developer does too so I'm not sure why you are surprised about it.

Did the game not tell customers NA players could transfer their characters when they have the servers established in NA?  I honestly do not know and just going on what I read, so if Not then you are right.

What?  They are not transfering all US players to These servers for free?  Than can Not be right.  Hang tight and they might transfer you for free instead of having empty equipt sitting there empty.  How crowded are the servers right now?  I did not buy game because of everyones input, thanks very much everyone for your reviews of game, its very helpful.   By the way,  is Darkfall good?  Is it worth checking out if you hated the the experience of AOC spawn camping/ganking, greifing?  I like the idea of PVP and getting ganked if ya wander into an area thats allowed dangerous but allowing griefers to run to the same spawn spot and gank you over and over when respawning virually allowed no available time to get away.  If they spawned you to safe place to let you decide weather or not to reenter same dangerous zone would be OK .   Maybe its all changed,   But they should transfer American server players to these servers for Free.  Maybe its a last ditch attempt to generate cash however possible. 

I have to agree.  I havnt played for a while and can not comment unless I try it again now.  I hope they didnt simplify combat more than it was.

Hope im  wrong but I think Champions Online will be a superior playing game.   Everyone likes their own style but for me SOE was always lacking more than others.   CO seems like a reskined improved version of COH/V which to this day has features superior to the others.  I cant believe how many people still play coh/v and how many have never stopped playing. 

What games did writer experience this on first hand?   Yes I can believe Playboy Bunnies are a myth to you.

Get a copy editor, Run this by someone who reads mmorpg making sure its not just fluff or mental masturbation. This is for your entertainment. Do you really think your telling someone reading mmorpg something they dont already know? By the way, Steam Sucks, Why Steam? Ever comb your registry after youve installed steam? After the HF code episode steam is the worste. F2P and P2P? Compare the top rated F2P (include micro's) and top P2P (subsription based). The top 2 and not one copy of another. That might be something we dont already know.

This is a joke.  Come on.

City of Heroes/Villians allows you to make your own.  I played the funniest damn comedy spoof with Chuck Norris and Mr. T. in it last night.   Funniest damn thing ever.   Was good mission too.   The details allowed to put in the missions you create are incredible.  You can make all the comedy, etc. you want.  Even custom make your characters to look however you want.  These guys looked just like Norris and Mr. T.    LMAO so bad.

i will probably reinstall my copy now too.   I remember the comunity of Ryzom being the nicest group ever.  thanks.

This Game aint bad?  yet you title it This game is a joke?    come one you are venting.   K whatever.  why am I even responding.  I was hoping for contructive critisism.  thanks.

If it is done like COH/COV that should satisfy all.  You have to go out of your way to PVP where PVPers can hang out all day, do missions enter arean battles, etc. and Villians and Heroes are sepearate in other areas otherwise except some spots where no combat allowed.    The only people who would complain about that would be PVPers who want to greif non pvpers.

They should at least update the release date from 2nd quarter 2009 to something more realistic, like n/a. 

That was a real admin who communicated to you the customer that way?    Thank you for saving me the trouble of looking any further into this game.   Sounds like a bunch of kids are running this game and will drive there customers out faster than they could ever hope to keep it afloat.   They should sell out to major company and play video games not manage them.  Thanks again op.

hey Menacewithin,  Are there still a lot of people playing SWG?   did they upgrade the graphics?   I was surprised when I clicked on the population link  for lotro (thanks again) how over 800k are online the 2x I had time to check.  I must be on the wrong server but no big deal.    Lotro graphics are beutiful when I check the game out.    Am curious to know if SWG did anything with theirs.  It was a cool game for its time your right.   Too many other mmos came out to compete with it.  I have a tendacy to check out more than I should overlooking some and forgeting how good some were.  coh/v is still great for an old game,  very unique and constantly changing.  People are talking about ddo combat style?  I played the game for the first month it came out, still own it.  Did they change much since then or did I just overlook (probably forgot) the combat system?  thanks.

Thanks very much for those links Ericbelzer.  appreciate it much.
