If they had nothing to hate, what would they have?

 

an innovative, fun, polished game

Where's the fun in that? heh just joking.

Aint gonna play it, but the genre has had all the VG's it can support already, two fingers crossed for a polished launch.

Maybe Funcom could offer a money-back guarantee like those ads do on TV? 

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't offering open beta a "Try Before You Buy" kind of deal?  So in that case it was try our game before you decide and there is not need for a refund!

See, this is why Funcom waited so long to lift the NDA.  All these nimrods wanting to bash a game before it is polished and don't fully understand the concept of beta.  If you use beta as a free trial then you will almost always be disappointed. 

It's funny how someone says there is improvement after a patch and the op still gets flamed.

Ask a question and you are stupid for 30 seconds, never ask and you are stupid for life.

That the  MMORPG.com community for you :)

 

Every MMO that will be released in the future or already has been released, no matter how good it is will still have its share of haters on here.


What I do? I don't listen to them and play for myself. Since we all have different tastes, I may like a game someone else doesn't. And I find AoC very fun, so thats all that matters to me.

I feel that many many people only have WoW to compare other games too, and they are comparing a game that has been out all of these years to a game at launch.  Blizzard put tons of hours into WoW before launch, and then tons into keeping it updated, polished, and expanded for all of this time so it is not like a normal game where it comes out and that is what you get.  Maybe a patch or two at best.

Due to this I would be terrified to lift an NDA, or even have an Open Beta, because of the sheer amount of players that are like this considering how many millions started into this genre just for that game and most of their forum presence is influenced by the WoW boards...

Confirming the improvements.

I of course have no precise numbers, but it looks like 80% of the players have seen huge improvements, with people for whom the game was unplayable before now able to play the game fine.

For some (like me) the game was playing fine and it's still fine. And there are a couple players who see some performance degradation, fortunately these are the minority.

The new lighting and shadow improvements add even more to immersion, looks great

CONFIRMING THE IMPROVEMENTS TOO!

I am in closed beta AND the open beta...

People, I was AMAZED when I logged in today after patching the closed beta client. No hitches, glitches, lags or anything! Game even LOOKS so much better with improved shading they did today!

Now this is a game in shape for sale, and I really wonder, like so many people before me, why did they allowed so many people to see this very laggy game that WAS AoC until today. I will log in open beta later, but I heard it's not patched to this beautiful thing yet.

Oh well, these bad feelings are all behind us now, and I'm happy to say, see you all in Hyboria, where HEADS WILL ROLL!

In my time in tortage as a lvl 5-10 Aquilonian, I used to have a comic book next to my computer, so I could read while waiting for loading....

But, now I barely have time to pick up the comic book... And I tell ya, I'm darn quick at the draw.

 

Huge improvements, I dare say better improvements in one patch than another hyped game soon to be released has had in many patches.
