and sorry to hear so many gamers got tricked by AoC into financing their unfinished product.  its def not easy to not wish for a decent mmo these days, especially when the developer hypes it like funcom did.

and hey some people are just really into the setting of aoc and the lore, which is cool, and for some it may be their first mmo which always makes it seem 5x better than it really is.  my first mmo was AC2 (yea lol) and although i picked it up a little while after release, right around the time when you could chat in game, i still miss it much and think it was great cause it was my first.

but it is really sad to see some of the fanbois in this thread and elsewhere try and defend the game.  you may like it for whatever reason, but thats just you...it is FACT that this game did not deliver on features and was programed poorly.  the "get a better rig" and "lol beta" arguements dont work anymore, and i wont even get into the customer service....

we really need to stop giving money to these developers for their unfinished games

UNTRUE! I could hire a midget to kick me in the balls all day for $20 bucks.

Thus your argument is fatally flawed.

 

Thats a good deal, I think I'd be stupid if I didn't ask you where I could find this midget.

I got screwed too. Even though i expected this game to be a fail, I hadn't seen all those lies from Funcom coming. I mean, they didn't put in half the content they have been hyping.

 

but but but.... its beta.... all those betaleaks are just haters and doomsayers...there is content and no bugs, they are cappin the level of public beta for a sincere reason! certainly not to just promote their only polished part (the non-mmo part)....and what about....oh.....wait

yea its not beta anymore lol silly me....boy do i feel like a prostitute in church

sorry to hear you got screwed =(

Nope I didnt save money. I wasted about $50 on this piece of vaporware. However, I kind of did save (I suppose salvage is a better word) a couple of weeks by quitting way before my "free" month was up.

at least you were smart enough to get out when you did...salvage i think is the perfect word for it.

there are those who just cant let it go and are just making the smiles of the AoC devs even bigger by payin them more $ each month.  they want so desperately to believe that this thing they spent their money on and hyped up actually resembles some kind of a game.

learn from your mistakes people!

I don't know about you, but I wish the OP had spent the $50 for the midget.

im sure i have the 50 laying around here somewhere...and i am living in las vegas for the summer so in all honestly, if anyone was going to be able to pay that amount to have a midget punch em in the balls, it would be me!

Well if you post troll posts, shows your credibility then doesn't it...

edit: yea i dont need credibility, its pretty much fact that funcom fooled the lot of you through very skilled marketing and the game was not ready for release and is just another clone of the mmo template, but a bad one.  its not just me saying it, its basically everyone.

. I'm not rushing it like some people are, and taking my time to do other things in life than play MMO's and trollpost in forums...

As for loading screens, get a decent rig.

With my 10k RPM hardisc, the loading screens are not a problem, so upgrade your gear.

cant defend the game so they try to bash op...standard stuff. 

and amazingly this guy went straight to the blind insultin of op without even reading.  aparently i need to upgrade my rig cause it sucks to play aoc....hmmm...pretty sure i never bought AoC cause i have...um...what is it...oh...a brain

but im glad to see others in this thread also saved the money and didn't get suckered by funcom's hype machine.

what im not glad to see is all the people in this thread who are trying to force themselves to make an excuse for a failed game.

responses are priceless

cant defend the game so they try to bash op...standard stuff. 

i dont hate the game, just find it funny that people actually thought it was going to be released in better shape than it did despite all the obvious signs.

oh and if you read my op, (the blatant troll bait so gg biting), you would see that i didn't buy the game based on reviews (yea believe it or not a lot of people do this) and as well as the company that was producing the game and how they were marketing it....common sense.   the friends that got suckered into buying the game just confirmed my beliefs that i made for myself

"enjoy" AoC.....really, t*crash*ry hard...you are alm*lack of content*ost th *loading screen*ere

Haven't visited the site in awhile, not since right before AoC launched.  Last i remembered was a lot of AoC fanbois boasting about the game and giving arguments like:

"It's only beta!  the lag and glitches and bugs are obv not gonna be in release its a diff client!"

"its only beta!  all this talk about the game not being finished and having no content in the upper levels is just doomsayers"

"funcom isnt doin anything sneaky by capping the public beta, its just marketing lol1!lol"

so since i have common sense, i avoided AoC like the plague and saved myself some $$$ because it was obvious this game was just unoriginal and was nothing but hype from day one.

  basically from what ive read and heard from friends who always buy the newest mmo was that the $50 or whatever would have been better spent if i hired a midget to punch me in the balls all day

oh and with some irony, those same fanbois back then would bash WAR and Darkfall at every chance...of course darkfall verdict is still out but there is definite signs of life (but to be honest any sane person can read the info out there and know its a real game and is comming out, how good it will be is another story).  And WAR would have to fail miserably to be worse than AoC.  And now i am remembering why i stopped checking out this forum...

Sheep.  I see a lot of them around here....

OP,

great post and thanks for taking the time to write it.  Im sure many will find it helpfull.

On a side note, when i read this thread, I couldnt help but think about the MMO genre and development of the games.  Developing an MMO is obviously different than a console or single player PC game.

But are we suppose to just give up all hope from expecting an MMO to be as simple as 1) Download client or install with discs 2) Play the game an enjoy   ???

When posts like this are necessary, and you have to do research to fix loading, crashing, graphic etc problems, doesnt that seem like it just isnt right and should be simpler?  Or am i expecting too much and just have to accept that with MMOs, it is a necessary evil?  Just the idea of "hey try these ideas to make the game work" just rubs me the wrong way.

Oh and this isnt AoC specific by any means, just so happens that it is a prime example of it and obviously the most talked about game right now.

i failed to see how aoc movement isnt as smooth as wow..

WoW and AoC are obviously in different graphic leagues.  While both good, AoC has a realistic approach, and WoW is more artsy/cartoony.  And of course this is just a matter of opinion, but by reading the boards I know others feel the same that character movement is just smoother in WoW.  I would guess that it is because of its graphic design that makes it easier to accomplish this.  AoC just seems clunky and not natural to me, but when you are standing still by a lake, or deep in a forest, then it is obviously graphically stunning.  Give and take.

I will let others detail the controls, but I will comment by saying that you will find AoC movement is not as smooth as WoW in terms of character movement.  It is not bad, but with improved "realistic" graphics, you kind of have to deal with this also.

And for jumping around on everything and everywhere, I cant say this is 100% everywhere (so fanboys dont flame me too hard) but there have been many reports about invisible walls and loading screens etc that may interfere with your enjoyment of jumping on things =)  Hope that helps.

good to see im not crazy and that others have an understanding about what a MMO is.

I also, like i said in my other posts, am not the type to go around ganking lvl 1s, but if i felt like doing so, i would be well within my rights.

I believe this thread is over and gg.

What, are you five? We've clearly said that we don't want that kind of player in EQ2 and we don't. If he wants to do it elsewhere, fine, but we aren't going to support it in a more mature game.

 

Anyone else starting to feel like originalegg is just a friend of the OP that came in to back him up?

Sarcasm is wasted on many.  I wont even try to explain it to you though.

And if you think im just a friend of the OP, then you obviously didnt read any of my posts. 

Im sorry but EQ2 is no different than any other MMO, except maybe in its success, poor graphics, and development team.  You do not have the right to claim yourselves to be more mature and try and put down someone looking to play the game.  Im sorry but you just dont, and you are all coming off as way more immature than the OP by doing so.  And that is pretty bad (sorry OP, i do support you but you obviously did come off as a little immature, though well within your rights)

If the EQ2 community is really like this, and this isnt just a poor sample size of it, then that would explain A LOT.

again (try to follow along, i will try to be super clear for special needs) I know nothing about EQ2, but i know plenty about PVP in MMOs.  I dont need to know anything about how EQ2 works.

My reason for posting is a saw an OP (regardless of how i dont share his desires to gank lvl 1s) being flamed for asking a pretty simple question.  Now you can disagree with how he wants to play the game, but if you are at all involved in pvp you should enjoy seeing his type on your server.

But rather you carebears came to a thread about pvp and said "omg stay away from our "awsome" game you big meanie omg you must have social problems omg"

cool? cool.

edit: feel free to PM to continue this if you want fozzie (but im hoping you dont).  we can continue to go back and forth forever but it wont go anywhere since i honestly dont have much respect for you nor you for me so lets not spam the forums thanks.

noxxle, I'm not telling you a thing about this game. Go away. We don't want people like you there.

the amount of carebear-ism in this thread is astounding...

 

i only played the trial way back when before pvp, is this really the attitude surrounding eq2 pvp these days? sad

So you've had a massive amount of gameplay in EQ2 then?

So you've have a massive amount of experience in reading then?  I clearly say i only played the trial and know nothing of EQ2 pvp....however....carebear mentality is universal.  Read my other post troll, it is very simple.  If OP wants to pvp in a way that is allowed by the game mechanics then he has every right to do so.  Some people amaze me

OP is 100% correct.

I have seen some of the most well written and objective reviews of AoC on this board get torn to shreads by sad fanboys who want this game to be perfect so bad that they will bash anyone who has a bad review of it.

Yes there are lots of trolls who are probably just talking out of their ass, but there are also many legit people with complaints and to think that all of them are (as the fanboys have stated) just poor and running a crap computer, is ignorant.  There is a significant problem with the client, no matter what version it is.  Yes, the cb client also has bugs. 

We can go back and forth all day, and im sure we will, about the games stability and beta vs release, but we will only truly know come launch day.   (unless funcom tries to extend the NDA after release lol).

Oh and it is also pretty ridiculous about people defending funcom and other developers, and saying its ok to have a crappy launch, and that it is standard for MMOs.  all i can say is bahhhhh bahhhh bahhhhh (sheep noise).  We, the consumers, should be giving the developers no excuse to release products like this.  LOTR should be the standard, if not the bare minimum acceptance.  Unfortunatly just a few people like me trying to get the word out will do nothin since the masses will keep giving these people money for broken products.

 

No, he is about 25% correct to be honest, but you happen to agree with him I guess so that makes it the truth to you.

You see though, the fact is that your truth is no more real then anyone elses, and your opinion is no more valid or less ignorant. You certainly are no free thinker bringing enlightenment to the masses as you appear to see yourself... We have all read whats out there and made our own informed choices based on our likes and dislikes. By insulting those who happen to see things differently to you you just come across as a shill or troll.

Funcom havent yet released AoC, so saying that they shouldnt release games like this is, well... obviously very backwards.

Seeing as Funcom seem to be the new SOE for the hatebois, I know I think who the 'bahhhhh bahhh' boys are around here. I think you do as well.

is this post serious? holy **** way to take it way way way out of context and...you know what nevermind

im not even gonna bother responding past the first point.  yes he is obviously 100% correct, it is not a matter of opinion.  his main thing was that people are bashing opinions about the client crashing them, and justifying it by claiming those who complain have crap computers.  this has happened (fact, op even used quotes omg!) so yes that makes it 100% correct.  christ, opinion has nothin to do with it...it has been happening! its fact! thats all we are talking about, nothing else ugh!!!!

but tell me how you really feel...

Two words in response to that arrogant statement... bite me.

P.S. Understanding sportsmanship, and practicing such is a sign of maturity. Most adults understand that ganking doesnt make you a better player, it doesnt make you any friends, and it certainly in the end, will not fix the deeply rooted psychological problems.

if you choose to sign up for a PVP server (sorry i dont know how pvp is handled on EQ2) then people like this should EXCITE you.  I wouldnt go out ganking lvl 1s for fun, but i sure as hell would enjoy helping fight to protect them or retaliate on the person/guild who is doing the ganking in some way.

it adds excitement to the game.  If OP wants to play this way, it is his money, and if the game mechanics allowed it then he has every right to do so.  He will make a name for himself for sure, but that is just how he gets excitement.

And if you are going to talk about maturity, you are way more immature to try to tell someone else how not to play a video game.
