DAoC was a good game but I hated it as I lived i Europe. As for Bashing it got panned with the Atalantis expansion.

I still have fond memories of scaling the walls to steal the goblet of whatever and pegging it away form the rampaging Mithgardian Horde. rofl.

  I'm not sure what exactly I was expecting from this title, but the info in this article somehow left me disapointed. I sort of had this "build my own castle out in the world" idea in my head. Then other lego guys would come and chuck blocks at it from their lego catapaults. Then me and my guild would go kill some lego dragons , collecting epic "blocks" that I could add to my castle............................or something.

 

              Smashing stuff as i walk by it kind of fails to compare to what I imagined :(

It's a kids game lol what do you want? 40 man raids? yeah I see my 5 year old digging that! ;)

The game is going to be good, simple fun. Even a hardened Nerdarager as myself knows that this is a special game for a younger generation that we oldies will play too. A great idea for a family based MMO game.

I have to say being in the fourms there since last year, the game is going to rape my wallet via my kids re-enactment of Oliver! Not to mention the better half, she spends more time on mmo's than I do, abliet their casual ones.

.................Please Sir, can I have some more MT/Sub money? Please sir.......Oo

Many people say its a bad game, that only became successful because of its past RTS fanbase. But if thats the case, why hasnt Warhammer matched WoW, when it was lead by years of RPG fans?

mmm well the main failing in your reasoning is blatant.

Warcraft = successful rts game, warcraft 2 = more success, warcraft 3 = huge success.

Let;'s also mention Diablo, Diablo 2, Starcraft.....need I go on?

Then let us look at Gamesworkshop computer games.

or let's not as thet are are all shite barring dawn of war1/2 and that is warhammer 40k.

The reason WAR isn't a wow killer is because in itself it is massively flawed and secondly has no community or history behind it or similar massivley successful products prior to launch.

Any dev looking to make an mmo should make AAA single/mp games first. build up a following, nuture it and build on it then go for an mmo.

Then you kill WoW.

Simples!

 The combat makes other mmos weak, nothing can compare to it and AOC shoulda used this method instead of the dumb combo swing crap. IN champions it is more intelligent gameplay and the mechanics speak ZOUNDS!

The power combinations and the active ability to participate in combat with blocking, Body Slams the cookie cuter rock paper scissors mmos. If you want out of that crap, champions is the place. Most mmos are stupid. Lets take WoW for example…this class based pile of dung is the old school type mmo where one class = x and y classes you beat and z you lose to. End of discussion.

This type of mmo requires no skill, you cant even block attacks! AoC failed because with out the ability to actually time a block and reduce damage you don’t really get to the next level of combat like CO has. Plus this being classless and highly strategic in putting your powers and stats together, you better be able to think because there is no min/maxing here sorry calculator heads you don’t have an I win button. Every attack can be countered if you have the skill.

All these people in here talking trash are just scared you will leave their whipping post and go to CO where you will have the most balanced and perfected gameplay every conceived of in the HISTORY of MANKIND!

One word.

BOLLOCKS.

Now for the reason behind the expletive. While you're entitled to your opinion like everyone else, this game is far from exciting, engaging, innovative or compelling.

The game is shallow, bland, non-sensical in places and simply has the feel of Guildwars but without engendering a reason for playing. Character creation is really poorly structured, options that should be grouped are separated and hidden from view.

Missions are the same a,b,c linear and undynamic. There is nothing to hook you. In 3 days of short 2-3 hours gaming sessions, I find myself wondering what the fuss is about. CoH was and is still a better, deeper and more accessible MMO. Oh and the instancing? MMO with 40 people? WTF?

Like I said, this is a case of the New Emporer's Clothes. Game standard MMO in Leggings and Laser Eye beams. Cryptic seem to be the Mr. Hyde to CoH's Dr. Jeckyll.

Already known, go here to save you some grief...

Good luck all.

To one and all,

If you don't know alreay, you can signup for beta on the apb website.

Link www.apb.com/beta-application/

However after filling everything you may get stuck on the  "Why you want to be a beta tester for APB" input box. It will give an invalid answer error.

The problem with the form appears to be that you cannot use any kind of punctuation at the end of your submission.

So simply avoid any kind of punctuation at the end of the 250 character begging letter lol!

Good luck to everyone! And PASS THE WORD!!!

Sorry folks,

This game is tired and boring. (i've been in the beta, fuck the nda, I won't talk about specifics).

Wow it's post Apocolyptic!

So what, under the hood it's still the same tired format in new clothes.

If you're bored of the likes of WoW, War, Aion etcetcetc. then save your money and wait for a sandbox mmo.

Eve, for all it's issues is looking like the only real sandbox mmo out there worth looking at.

Ron Perlman has to be Thrall.

Dude,

You can get it via steam if you're aft the items or just wait. As with all mmo's the sold out issue disappears after launch. You'll find plenty of copies to pick up when the cancels start rolling in closer to launch. Happens every single  time an MMo is launched. you'll be able to pick it up for 17 quid after 6 months from launch. Just need patience.

If you're really stuck try hmv or shop2.

Happy hunting.

Well for my 2 penneth,

This Game is on it's last legs. Even the new update hasn't caused a real upsurge in server pops.

Bottom line, I will be cancelling again this month. after re-subbing to see how things were after quiting 3 months ago.

RvR is a joke, PVE is dead and there are simply not enough players to make the game last.

I had such high hopes for  a decent GW game. I should have known better.

The game is fundementally flawed due to the levelling = access to content design. PVE level, RVR level.....it'd just the wrong mechanic and the complete lack of sandbox elements has turned it into CS for MMO addicts. They pop in for a quick senario, a keep raid then are gone.....off playing something, anything else as far as I can see.

MMO's are currently undergoing a period of Fusion design, similar to cooking. Unfortunately we have only 1 or 2 *** Michelin Star Chefs and hundreds of kebab shops selling their wares.

The result, constant food poisoning.

Warhammer is better.

AoC will forwever be les than promised.

Warhammer has massive battles....I mean 100+ I know I was there. No lag to speak of (I had none).

Warhammer has no lack of content.

Warhammer has keeps that work.

Warhammer is a team game, Aoc is pretty much a solo experience.

Warhammer has meaningful pvp. i,e it affects you asa player and the game world.

AoC RIP, you were prettier than a thai whore and were just as riddled with bugs.

All I can tell you is that when I shout For the Emporer, For Sigmar! People join in the charge and banter, unlike AoC, even on non rp servers. I has a real tangible backstory beyond Howards books.

I heard Gary Glitter was out of Jail.

1. Gaute Gadger

2. Lack of clear game design .

3. Lack of funds.

no idea, I played last night on my own server found 3 people online around my level.

me thinks it is fury no?

I can't wait for the 7+ re-review.This game was and still is fundementally flawed. I am in the beta, it blows still. Avoid it at all costs for gods sake, they had to shut down once already to re-dev the game.

The dev's are not getting it, theycan't understand in this day and age, of C&C, COH, DoW etc, that their is an expected level of features, gameplay and polish that are not capable of achieving. Period.

Guess what? Still laden with great hope and poor execution. Graphics are still a joke, as is the storyline, AI PvP and alliance set up.

God go with all that pay for the game a second time. I wont be one of them.

Is it me or does it appear that there are certain individuals are still trying to go door to door on every forum in the land to sing the praises of AoC?

Is anyone else tired of the same tired PR re-rinsed and re-spun?

In all the time since release I have yet to have a stable bug free session. I am still trapped with 2 broken crafting professions after 4 months. No gm help, all they can do is say wait for a patch, when is it coming I ask. Soon.......................

And while I roam aimlessly in the TL server with no direction, my guild in ruins and watching the click tick down on the OB for WAR, I have to ask myself why won't Funcom fess up to the hash they have made.

Moreover why do certain individuals still praise a broken game? Are these people the same in the RL? do they buy cars with 3 wheels and no engine and then push it around the streets showing it off as the latest and greatest pimp mobile?

I am still astounded at the gaming press and Funcom in the continued pr campaign, now focused on DX10 and not on actually delivering new, working content to the game.

When will it end? When will Avery & Co admit openly that the game is borked. There is no coming back for AoC. Too many games are coming out now for AoC to compete. It is already in the bargain bin at my local game store. No one want's it. Hell you can still buy CE editions of the game, which made me laugh.

I wanted AoC to be great, it failed in every way. The worst thing about it all is PvP once implemented has nopurpose. There is no end game period. The players wont be able to create it for themselves as FC hasn't designed any real community/player sandbox tools. WAR will show what real meaningful PvP is about. It won't be the final iteration but it's the first decent leap ina good long while.

Watch this space, WoW will be following on War's heels in this. Expect WoW to change to RvR style in the next year. AoC will still be trying to balance the cost for a horse.

Right time to end this rambling thread, time to see if I can cancel my sub and not suffer the final indignation of being charged after the event.

More BS form the funcom factory of pish IMHO.

I don't give a flying frack about the b'starin' graphics, I do give a toss avbout meaningfull enjoyable PvP. Flowing grass? whoopty do!

How about having a game that actually works for more than 30 mins at a go? Adding DX10 will increase the mem leak issues. Guaranteed. No DX10 enabled MMO on the market that is more reliable in dx10 than in dx9. Given dx9 version of AoCis a blooter of pish, I have to wonder at the idea that virtual wind will cover up the fact that the game stinks.

Jesus wept Avery, how much do you get paid by funcom to be there CR mouthpiece outside the forums?

Exactly when is DX10 a higher priority than a working pvp system???? or a working quest system. or working attributes.....or working trading.......or working crafting..............or working sieges.........the list goes on and on.

DX10 = another disater in the making. It's going to be the virtual equivalent of the Posiden adventure.

Quoting Tin Smalley of Bit Tech:

I haven’t played much of Age of Conan so far, but some of the graphical and physics effects I’ve seen in the DirectX 10 features video make me want to sink a good amount of time into the game.

Says it all, I haven't played much but it looks pretty.

Give me a rusty spoon to slit my wrists with, yet another twat with delusions of grandeur (gaming journo) that thinks graphics = game play.

Fucking good luck to him I say, if he's pissing in the wind with AoC, at least the wanker aint playing on my server in WAR.

Well in 2 weeks we will know.

If we Eu players haven't been able to set up our accounts and d/l the OB client, and the servers aren't up then GOA will have failed.

Just a waiting game now.

Personally, I think if WAR was called WOOFUS and was a flash browser based mmo, we'd be ok in GOA's hands.

Unfortunately it isn't. Fingers crossed.

well once you have turned down the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaambulance to a resonable level, the only place you can get guaranteed beta access is via the CE edition £60, and the only place you can get it is HMV, you will have to walk in to get it.

Toodles! =)
