I'm fine playing together with people that enjoy AoC, if haters and crybabies can't deal with it, that's your own problem. Can't help you with that.

All I can say is, anyone with a slight brain or somewhat of a life does not get "conned" by a computer game...
You either figure out how to deal with what you got, or move on to something else.
Alot of people on this board seem incapable of such, that's unfortunate, but that's all the sympathy I have for you...

"O'rly?" said the curious looking owl staring at the strange geezer throwing a tantrum. "Why so serious?" repeated the owl. The geezer looked taken back a bit, "R U SPEKING 2 ME?" asked the geezer. "There isn't any other around these parts" replied the owl with sadness in its eyes.

"I M HAVING FUN" said the geezer emptily ... "IM HAVING FUN IN FUNCOM FOREST".

Then the geezer fell through the earth and couldn't res so the story got cut short there. But it turns out that the owl was in fact Erling Ellingssen ... pretty clever huh?

Oh man, that is epic...lol. Are you sure Erling is the owl, and that he didn't just eat the owl and/or several other things?

AOC is a fine game.

im having fun.

saw my first purple epic drop last night off a random mob too.(lvl 51)

yea yea, heard it all b4 you're only level 50 wait till...blah blah...

the game is what you make it. it suits me fine. itll suit other people fine too. it wont suit all fine.

ill sue you.

I'll admit it has its moments, especially up into the 50's. After that it takes a community effort to have fun and level, which is difficult considering the community. My guild was great, however I have erradic playtimes so coordinating with them was difficult. I cancelled on principle more than frustration, just didn't want to fund yet another games development like I did SWG. If they repair melee mechanics, dupes, bugs, and add more solo friendly pve I'll likely return. It can't be the best on the market at any level though, its lost too many subscriptions to justify such a statement. Maybe the best for some people, but not the best from a stability standpoint.

Allow me to say what the OP should have said in his first post.

....for me, to poop on!

Looks like dubbya has tagged ya'll with some good ole american friendly  fire! BANG-BANG! He goes to war and ruins our economy, and you get to pay for it! BANG-BANG!

It still doesn't make any sense, since damage and hit rating are intrinsically linked, but I think you can understand what he's saying now.

 

I'm still confused.   All tanks in the game can use either a 2hander or sword+board.  The only thing that I can think of is that Chosen has auras to debuff attackers.... but, it still does better with sword+board. 

So I'm not following what the OP is talking about.  All four tanks greatly benefit from using sword+board.  There is no "two-handed weapon" tank.

Actually some Black Orc abilities require a Great weapon, or a shield. So there are builds for 2 handed tanks. The OP doesn't realize that Great Weapons(2 handed) aren't vastly more powerful than one handed weapons, at least not compared to a game like WoW. It's a matter of build and preference in WAR.

It's funny how threads like these go untouched yet the total troll threads go to 8+ pages.

Thus, Mr. Trond Aas really sold 25.2% of his shares.  (400,000 of 1,587,825)

Nice slight of hand there Funcom to offset what a massive dump this was.

If he would have had any sense he would have sold it all.

Given the right management the game could be salvaged. If they don't do something with melee combat the PvP will be worthless. I agree though, should have gotten rid of most of it.

Ok Guys. Still believe the lies of FunCom?

Have a look at www.Xfire.com

AoC is now at the same levels of active players as LOTRO and clearly under EVE.

LOTRO had last a confirmed sub base of 150 K-200K; EVE has a little more subs (240K)

Ref: http://www.mmogchart.com/Chart2.html

Given the fact that Xfire has a sampled stat comparable to the techniques used in Nat Broadcast samples. (600 families = representative for 6.000.000 viewers), we can surely say that :

Lol...600 families with 10,000 members per? What the fuck kind of logic is that?

AOC went down from 400 K to 150-200K in the last 7 weeks.

So AoC dropped 50% of its statistical userbase in 7 weeks? Awesome. SUCCESS!

Also : the number of servers AOC has, is about 3 times more than LOTRO.

It sure must be lonely outthere !!!!

Any guesses how hard they gonna fall when WAR will hit stores ?

 

Kudos go to Funcom for their epic success in creating a mediocre MMORPG.

So then there will be nobody on an Open RvR server who can focus on ToK.

They also cannot assist their friends and guild mates in lower tier PvE.

These are two things that immediately spring to mind.

 

Just a slight correction.  You can go back to prevoius tier PvE zones and not be turned into a chicken unless you attack another player.  If they attack you, they're fair game. 

If you go to previous tier RvR zones though you will be automatically turned into a chicken.

To add to what Dameon said, if you don't complete enough of the tiered RvR portions of the ToK to satisfy you, you may have a complex of some kind. Seek psychiatric help if it applies.

Oh man, this is the sandbox I've been waiting for! HECK YES GOSH DARN IT!

Seeking true, dedicated WAR players. We have a dental plan.

Real life war tactics are a lot like hide and seek, if your enemy can't see you they can't kill you. Using cover, flanking, rushing, trapping, ambushing, these are tactics of real life combat. These are the tactics the SG teams always used to beat the Goa'uld and Ori. You can't expect a Stargate game to have people rambo'ing and running around bunny hoping and standing out in the wide open with no consequence. Believe it or not but a lot of FPS games are hide and seek, I see you first you die, type games.

The expansion is going to be all the promised release features, the stuff they promised in June(PvP/Fugitive, etc.), all the bug fixes they've held internally, more nerfs, and of course new and exciting bugs for everyone to pay2playtest for them. Once all that is done, they'll close most of the PC servers and release a polished game onto 360, unless the investors have decided enough is enough and cock blocked their console aspirations.

I liked perpetuals ideals much more than Jack-ass Emmerts watered down product. Why have your own ship? Why not form a crew of...gasp..real players. Also, creating your own race is going to not only destroy canon but it will kill the immersion in the game. Lastly, Klingon vs. Starfleet PvP? Why didn't they pick the Romulans or some race that isnt on friendly terms with Starfleet?

Scenarios are fine, its a good distraction while grinding money for skills or rr gear. One thing that needs fixing is the auto-buff. Max it out for the scenario. Level 11 vs. Level 8 is a lose for a level 8 as long as they're not stupid. I mean really, why buff to 8. If you're going to admit that level disparity is problematic then fix it completely and not just partially.

Turns out I had an error in the settings, its fixed now, thanks for telling me.

Mission Statement of The Dark Passengers

Recruitment: Open to all Classes
Vent Servers: Yes
Guild Level: 5

Guild Origins

We are a guild comprised of long time real life and online friends. Most of us have known each other for around four years. We are original founding members of a World of Warcraft guild known as The Tau'ri located on the alliance side of the Khadgar US server. We eventually moved on to PvP servers(Emerald Dream, Mal'Ganis) after release of the Burning Crusade. We no longer operate in any games outside of Warhammer Age of Reckoning.

Purpose

We exist strictly for the purposes of our own entertainment. We do what we want, when we want, and how we want to do it. If we feel like smashing your keep, rolling your pug, or hammering your little sissy warband, we'll do it. If we feel like running around Inevitable City naked and yelling out random Chuck Norris jokes, we'll do it. We're animals, and WAR is our unclean and run down zoo.

Goals

Our current goal is to pound stunties, hummies, and elves into tiny little blood covered pieces that we can turn into very fashionable accessory wear. Once we reach T4 we will be working on sieges as well. Most importantly though, we just want to have fun at the expense of the carebears of Order.

Recruitment

Our recruitment is open to all classes and ages at this time. In the future we will likely close recruitment and move to an invite only policy. All members and recruits are required to use Ventrilo Voice Chat software. Please visit the recruitment forum for more information.

If you're interested in joining, please visit http://www.thedarkpassengers.com

I understand it is not a sandbox (anybody could tell that before the first 6 lvls, or before you even play the game ha) but when I say it feels like I have one road to take I literally mean one road. And I know that most lvl based games are linear but even WoW feels a little more opened. WAR seems  so condensed and unexplorable.

Tier 1 is small, even on the world map tier 1 is small. It's linear yes, because you follow tiers...kind of the point of the game. PvP'ing competitively in tier/scenario RvR so you don't get beat by massive level hikes(though you do need to be in the latter levels of a tier to be effective in world RvR). It's not an explorers game really, and to be honest the detail needed to freely explore fantasy terra would be immense.

Well he did kinda say the game played that way as well like he was being guided through on a rail or something.

 

So is the world WIDE OPEN or not?  thats my question.

I'm not sure myself beyond tier 1, mainly because I don't want to progress past there until early access. I do however know that it isn't anywhere near as closed off as AoC. You can climb hills and take scenic routes to different areas in a tier.

As long as EA and Mythic will work as resume references then there should be no problem. They aren't with them at release because they were either fired or got a new job, focus on your future and not your past. Really, should they credit every individual working with the team? Secretaries, goffers, etc? I wouldn't be surprised if some of the uncredited designers were interns.
