LOL are you kidding? Over the shoulder, third person shooters suck asz. Shooters are meant to be played in first person. Hello quake, fear, doom, call of duty, unreal, or just about any other shooter!

As a matter of fact some dumb mmo recently tried and failed  using third person shooter style...can't even remember the name.

Wow well I am completely not surprised about this. The whole story of the development of this game has been one disappointment after another.

Ideally a star trek game should have two different playtypes...a solo game on a smaller ship; and a grouping game on capital ships where you take on different roles and go on extended missions. Either way you should be able to walk around your ship.

Oh and missions are going to be instanced? I thought this was an mmo? More BS.

 ps the poster above is completely clueless. Interiors have been a huge topic ever since this mmo was announced.

I won't even bother mentioning how average the graphics look.

I'd give it a 7/10 until 65, then a 4/10 afterwards. As many have said, the end game sucks.

Man what server are you on? On Zug I have seen ONE /ooc of people looking for a prison colony group. I did all the quests in thunder river but no one ever wanted to do prison colony. The one time a group was LFM, there was a 77 in the group so that meant no XP, so I didn't bother.

I was a fanboy until level 65 or so. Now at 70 I don't play anymore. There's nothing to look forward to....raiding? Well gear doesn't really matter in this game so why raid? Also since gear doesn't matter, there no loot to go after, nothing to achieve in PVE.

Also quests get tough and harder to find after 65. No one is around looking for group....probably because group xp sucks and again, there's not much in the way of loot to look forward to.

I just rolled a new char on tyranny like everyone else. That's my last kick at the can before cancelling.

Stats and gear sucked so bad before; everyone quit PVE at high levels because there was nothing to strive for. Useless gear means no rewards from raiding..so why log on at all at level 80 on a PVE server?

Excellent news.

Spend a few bucks and buy a real video card. Heck shader 3.0 cards have been out for months - a shader 2.0 card should be prettty cheap.

As a former fanboy who is close to quitting, I would say

1) insufficient high level content.

2) Terrible itemization

3) Poor incentives to group

4) Overuse of instancing

5) Buggy client. Worse now than at release, for me at least.

I love the combat and graphics...but that's not enough.

The only thing worse than the official forums is these ones. Basically a cesspool of haters with nothing better to do than hang around the forums of a game they don't like. Are you guys so fucen bored you have nothing better to do? Heck the OP even changed his forum pic to a 'failcom' logo. Wow....if I don't like a game I just move on, not make it a pet project to badmouth it.

No wonder your posts get deleted, here they're nothing but hyperbole and melodrama; and impossible to take seriously considering how many people are still enjoying the game.

Sure it has its issues. Definitely.....but these 'sky is falling' posts are a total joke. The only think sadder than a "failing" Age of Conan is all the tards who supposedly don't like it but stalk the forums like a pedo bear outside a school.

If 3 bucks is an issue; I'd suggest better uses of your time then playing a mmo.

AoC is still a fun game... all these patches etc is expected for a new mmorpg.

Its hilarious the depths the haters get to though...threads like this are a shining example. Just quit and cut the melodrama.

Sueing over an mmorpg? Get a life!

Vanguard's release wasn't as bad as people made it out to be. With my old P4 3ghz and geforce 6800 my performance was ok on medium / low settings; and I never crashed. Mostly people with weak pcs had issues with Vanguard. Too bad the gameplay became a boring grind after a few weeks.

As for AoC...yes there's bugs...but I find it a lot more fun to play.

I'm  not looking forward to logging in after work. If 1/2 the stuff they're saying about this patch is true I am really not going to be happy.

Man I'm usually somewhat of a fanboi here but the word about this latest patch is not good.

Someone seems to be making a whole bunch of bad decisions at funcom.

Sure its fun and there is group content. But if you're not enjoying it then maybe its not for you.

nice lil war going on here trolls, flames... anyway noone can deny that aoc=fail. Even if funcom made cash with their con, it is still a fail for all the people that play on deserted servs, the guild leaders that swa 98% of their guild's pop run away screaming. AOC got more or less as much flame as swg got with their miracle patched. Swg is a good example of fail now, so is aoc.

We can either go on kiking aoc's dead corpse or move on to another game the troll army can flame.

Kiking a dead corpse is fun when that corpse stole 65$ from you though

No I think you = fail. Since my server was busy as ever yesterday and hardly anyone has left my guild, I really dunno wtf you're talking about. Sure some people don't like it; but you could say that for everything. If you trolls stopped exaggerating so much maybe your posts would get more respect.

Seeing all the tards posting on these forums makes me not mind the AOC forums so much.

This thread is complete bullshit since no one has given EVEN ONE EXAMPLE of this happening.

Until then, its just people mouthing off.

The OP is right. These forums have turned into  a cesspool of whine threads....I hardly even post anymore. Much more fun to play AoC.
