nude patch was a half assed joke along with the review. Actually most of the nude mods for oblivion were made by adults if not all. The game plays much like oblivion. With the G15 you can write small macro that equipts your weapons and pulls them out for use. For example: To heal in game you have to switch from your sword to your wand and select the heal icon. Sometimes in the heat of battle it can become cumbersome to do and sometimes it's hard to know if you wand is pulled out to use. So unlike a normal typical MMO where you can just click the heal icon this game you have to a little more than that. When you play it you'll see what I mean. BTW the Q for me tonight has been two+ hours :( first time it's happened. i guess there is a bug that won't allow some to loot either tonight for some reason. Regardless if you a Fanboi or not, logic would dictate that this game is not going well. But just like the Fanboi's of Vanguard, Dork & light, SWG, AOC I'm sure no matter what is done they'll defend it to the end LOL |

Been playing for two weeks and the game (like many) has promise but (like many) it'll take a very long time to fix the problems it has currently. First impressions: Graphics are OK and framerate is smooth but the game is dark (maybe why it's called darkfall) easily fixed with gamma Controls are cumbersome to say the least and most that have not played FPS's or Oblivion (without cheats and nude mods) will not like it. There is a sync issue with some including myself that makes players seem like they are "popping" around (hard to hit) There are crashes that take place for some but the game has never crashed on my system at all Some players are cheating with the same kind of cheats used in VG. Forums are full of trolls (like me) and anyone that was dumb enough to follow the games for years seem to think they are leet. so the forums suck Very little GM help available ATM and are volunteers that play the game on the same server .... Very little explanation of what the devs are up to and communications are er... like VG,SWG, AOC.... typical nowadays Q's for some are up to hours but I usually get in about 20 minutes if not right away Mobs are missing or there are very few but there are many players to grind on Grindy Yeah but not as bad as other games out (just the usual whack a mole BS) harvesting builds your stats like willpower blah blah so it's good to do it and the crafters will build you items for their grind. Mounts are cool and you can fight on them but they swim slow /shrug Map sux and the main one cannot be zoomed in on but the mini map can be waypoints seem to disapear if you log out so you'll need to write stuff down on paper UI needs to be modded to clean it up G15 is your best friend in this game and will make fighting, grinding, harvesting bearable Ton of spells and I'm sure some will be nerf'd or buffed as the game goes on. Guild walls are easily bypassed because they don't meet up against each other very well. blah blah it's beta like most of the games that come out and just like the others, it'll take a year to polish this game. Like I said it has potential but so did SWG,AOC,D&L,VG.... play at your own risk I guess

I'm really hoping this game comes out and does well but I don't see it comming out for some time. First there is not specs. This is usually determined by now this late in development... They don't have any real marketing or even any real interviews going on.. like with this site. They are not responding to questions on their forums at all with any relative information They don't have any GM's in training or in place No subscription processor in place. (hint: if the Credit card processor is not in the US, chances are your bank may put a freeze on your Dept or Credit card) Fuck it.. I could go on and on but instead I'll just sit back and laugh my ass off for all the poor fools that are dumb enough to shell out money for a pre order. Pre order with the very very limited information given by the developers= we don't have enough money to finish. Like I said I'll just sit back and laugh at the fanbois as usual like I have for the last 4 big tittles

I highly doubt it's done because I haven't seen a MMO in a long time that was "done" before launch. Hell I haven't seen any PC game that didn't require a patch since 94 when patches just started. I remember when Maximum the video gaming magazine bitched about patching back in 95 when patches were only a meg at most Hell a 1 meg patch using compuserve @ a blistering 14k baud took forever..especially when compuserve constantly crashed during the DL The premise of the game looks good but so have so many others recently.. and look how they turned out Just hope they release it when it's done instead of the AOC/Vanguard/D&L/SWG crap that is the norm now. |

In fact the original had a much better system of pvp but the crybaby carebears didn't like that it took skill to do it and instead they wanted the dumb down version we have now. The only problem with pvp in mmo's is carebears that want to pve. Instead of having the stones to just kick these girly men to the curb and tell them to go play another pve game they listen to them and everything gets messed up. Even in games that separate pve and pvp the pve carebears come over and then cry when they die. ewww I was gank'd. Learn 2 history as for a MMO site to actually give a score a game deserves? Or put a game on blast for being a POS? LMAO!! never happen. If your looking for the consumer reports of the MMO world.. hasn't happen... yet... |

I canceled as well. After the last patch I keep getting lag spikes and the bar goes into the red about every 15 minutes. Allot of people are having this problem in guild and we were all waiting for today's patch to fix it but it didn't in fact it made it worse. Really wanted this game to be the one but sadly it's not. I was expecting a real unique pvp game and what we got was the same stuff you find in every other MMO. Not all is lost cause I found somebody to buy my account so at least I'm not out anything. Maybe in about a year it will be a good game who knows but funcom needs to communicate more and not treat their customers like SOE does. If they think by removing threads and banning accounts is going to fool anyone maybe they should look at how well it worked for SOE with SWG/NGE. I just don't think I'll buy the next game if I even play one right away but instead wait a year after it's release. I just think MMO's have taken a turn for the worse and it'll eventually hurt the industry as a whole. For those that want to try it then role a Necro. If played right it can be allot of fun in pvp. Ranger is also good if you like griefing people because of the tracking skill. TOS is a great all around class for pvp and pve even though they keep nerf'n it. Barbarian is great at lower levels but suck at 50-60 then become very good in the 70's. Never played a demo but they have a ton of spike dmg along with Guardian. I ended up with 2 lvl 80's which is very easy to do in this game especially if you have higher levels mentor you but as of today that was nerf'd. My TOS was very fun and very fast to lvl and still is a great all around toon if you do the feats right. My Barb is also lvl 80 and is crazy to play in pvp right now with his temp. My ranger is only 50 but still fun to hunt people and my POM is lvl 50 as well but kind of boring to play. If your into healing and like pve some pvp then do bear shawman. If you lvl one of these everyone will want you in raid. All around best healer. Anyway I'm basically quitting because of the way funcom is handling the game and don't seem to have a real sense of direction for what the game should be. I think they got lost trying to put in too much to satisfy the pve crowd and forgot to finish the stuff they said they would have for pvp and left the pve stuff half done. I'm sure they are working on it but right now the game is for me boring. Might return in a 6 months to see if they find a direction. |

Man I was really hoping this was going to be the game!
General Discussion « Age of Conan 6/27/08 2:31:49 AM
I've been waiting for this game to come out for 2 years now. My guild mates and I were very excited about the PVP aspect of the game and the fact there is real loss and not just another "everyone gets a trophy for participation" kind of game. The graphics and gore also excited us because if anything it wasn't the homogenized PVP we see in other MMO's. This has been my experience with the game. Don't like it /shrug I don't care. Durring the wait a few things bothered us along the way and to us spelled disaster for this tittle. First was the PVE part of the game. At first we were under the impression that this was a PVP game and one could level by fighting other players or by fighting over territory. Once we learned that instead there was going to be the same ole wack-a-mole, tired ass, grind fest like all the rest of the failed, craptastic, ball and chain games out there, some raised questions of whether or not they would play. However after reading that the "grind" wasn't going to be that bad we continued on making plans to move on to this tittle. I was very excited. Then the PVE raiding question came up. Seems that some people wanted PVE raids as well. Once again we felt puzzled by this because ,once again, for some reason we thought the raids in the game were going to be raiding other people cities and not getting stuck in some boring ass dungeon for hours on end just to bid on a drop. But once again we though some PVE raiding wouldn't be a bad thing as long as the best stuff in game was the PVP gear or the crafted stuff. Then there was a push for a RP server? Hmm ok but this is supposed to be a PVP game so not sure how that would work. But hey if RPr's want a server then eh... w/e Once the game hit open beta we all paid the 15 bucks and D/L the client expecting to be blown away by this game and to be honest we were. Not by the graphics or the gameplay itself but by the fact most of the guild couldn't even get in and the ones that did kept crashing to desktop. Once again we all just kind of nerviously laughed it off as beta and the people we had playing on closed beta said that their version is running much better. Once the game came out most of us had taken scheduled times off of work or w/e to get in the game and get our names first. Problem is the servers didn't come up until late into the night and most had to log and some still could not get into the game. Once again we though "hey nobody ever has a good launch" so it's all good. But to make matters worse is the server we told everyone to make a toon on changed from PVP to team PVP or w/e it's called so most had to reroll the next day By the next day some of us were leveling and crashing to desktop or had to reboot constantly and still some people could not even log in. Now people were getting mad but hey it'll work itself out and besides they were not expecting this kind of turn out so it's understandable. Servers were still crashing and rebooting and there was allot of downtime but it's launch so it's cool... Patches during prime time.. oooo k this is f@cking stupid.. but it's all good nerf's allready..? wasn't this thing beta tested for a year now!? What do you mean they are selling mounts on ebay!? Why in the hell did I pay $100 for the special edition? ok lvl 50 and I have about 5 lvl's of quests... wtf am I missing something? No problem I'll just jedi grind the mobs.. wait! why in the hell don't these feats work! screw this I'm rerolling , this toon is screwed. Assassin my ass! Ok back on track with a Tempest now. Hmm lvl 60 and once again about 5 lvl of actual quests.....? Maybe the disks in the box has the rest of the content.. huh!? they are kicking guild leaders for having too much gold!? but that was our city gold we all gave.... OH NOW they make the banks work.. purrrfect timing... Ok now lvl 70 and how many times do I have to kill the mobs in the deathcamps? Why the hell are almost all the quests epic? And why the hell do I have a heal debuff for 60 seconds on everyone I heal? I can see having one on me but everyone in group? Ok so tempest is NOT the best healer in game I guess /shrug. Also why if we do a raid group we all can't loot quest items? Is this not a raid quest dungeon? dumbass nofuncom! Boy this sh!t is fun.. people that crash can't get back in group and end up in a different instance wooooo F"n hooooo... glad I stayed up for this Ok finally lvl 80! woo hooo ... what do you mean I getting nerf'd! K I'll just respec.. WTF another nerf! k I'll just respec .. oh christ another nerf!? why don't they just go and make my toon blind and his only special is to whack crap with a cane.. wait! why isn't my blunt not doing any dmg... !!! Cool let's build a city.. boy I'm sure glad I bought a pvp game so I can pick flowers for hours on end. But hey a city will be cool with buffs and ... WTF! what do you mean somebody just killed our keep! it's not even active yet! Oh it's just a bug.. kk np we will just build walls.... WHAT! what do you mean our keep was destroyed! HOW?! OH! they can just jump through the walls!!! nice... back to picking these damn flowers.. K well at least I can kill people at random I guess.. WHAT! what do you mean they are going to redo the whole system! and now we will drop our weapons and gear if we die? WTF! I just made this stuff... Canceled... This concludes my experience with this long awaited tittle. BTW a couple of us still cannot get in... Don't like my comments.. once again could care less

Originally posted by jensen_34O'rly? Hmm well I was there for both and yeah it's not as bad as AO by a long shot it is close to VG. The same thing happened in VG actually. Some people could play the game fine and many could not. The game crashed because of memory leaks, people fell through the ground, the game would randomly crash, stutter, and pvp was not balanced at all, pvp was full of bugs / exploits. Also in VG the servers were always up so no real problem there ,oh yeah and it wasn't finished but full of promises by spin doctors. Also the rabid fanbois would tell people that had posted about the problems to: go away, get a more ram, video card was too new/old, sound card was too new/old, your machine sux, Features would be added and finished later, this is only beta, stop wining, called them haters/liers.. pretty much what you see here. Oh and they went live anyway despite what players were saying. Well the good thing is most got fired in a parking lot and the game served as another reminder to NOT buy beta... hope the same doesn't happen here... But don't take my word on it just go dig up some of the old post on the vanguard forums here starting from jan of last year |

Originally posted by vendolisWhen you log into your account click on settings BEFORE logging into game. Try to click on direct X 10 then click on direct X 9. This worked for some. Also chose a different resolution like 1024x768.. this worked for many in the guild Turn off blooming click on low settings and click on shadder to 2.0 Defrag you hard drive with disk keeper or something better than the POS that comes with windows. Turn off NPC names because they are not needed in the game anyway since the quest mark the goals with an giant X on your map and radar. Make sure your running the latest drivers for everything and also the latest bios. |

I'm not a fanboi of any game and the way they released the open beta just shows that MMO game companies just don't get it. After wonderful games such as SWG, Vanguard, Dark and light.... we are sick of paying retail for beta and having to play beta when the games are live! Only to be told by the devs and dumb ass fanbois that we have to wait, it's your system, or what do you expect... you know the usual tripe to cover their asses. This game has been put off for over a year and should've been polished by this time concidering they've had a closed beta for some time now. You don't have an open house and invite the public in only have the house a mess and damaged. Just doesn't make any sense. Two weeks before the game going live this thing should have been done. The open beta should have just been a stress test for the servers and introduce players to what the product has to offer. This is starting to look allot like SWG, vanguard at launch TBH. For some reason game companies just don't get it (actually they don't seem to get allot of things). When people go to car shows the car companies don't give the press cars that don't start, run for 2 minutes and crash... you get the point. Why would you show off a product that is NOT done? and then have the balls to ask the public "well are you gonna buy it?" Or spend months on end trying to spin doctor it? Yeah this kinda of crap works for fanbois but not the general public especially a public that has been stung before with these tactics. The reason is ,they think it's gonna work and it does not. If anything they lose prospective buyers and give the product a reputation of being broken. I love how they always say things like "Well it's a major game and you can't expect everything to work" or "show me a game that hasn't had it's problems"... spin and excuses. I love how he said "our bad" like they don't have 80+ mil wrapped up in the product... LOL talk about casual. And that is the problem right there! Instead of releasing finished products they just try to excuse it as being the "NORM". and as of late it IS the norm. Problem is it never works and won't. Only the rabid fanbois will fall for this every time. |

Funcom f@#ked up by releasing a open and closed beta!
General Discussion « Age of Conan 5/04/08 4:08:20 AM
First of all I'm in both the open and closed beta. The closed beta is running the most recent version of code and the open beta is running code that is almost 2 months old or at least until the patch tonight.
This is the stupidest thing I ever have heard of! First of all "OPEN BETA" is like an OPEN HOUSE. Now you wouldn't have an open house is your house is not clean, the lawn hadn't been mowed or the house smells like cat poo... But aparently Funcom doesn't mind. To invite the public into an open beta and not run the most current code is just stupid! In fact I would call it SOE stupid! Fact open beta does NOT play like closed beta. Fact is this stupid move by Funcom |
