As I said in the post about the patch being delayed. This is an obvious PR tactic from funcom to try to stop the people from leaving for WAR just yet and to get another month of subs from some.

Wow, congratulate Mr Obvious!  What is wrong from trying to make your product work? Isn't that the whole point!

I agree with the origional poster. Do not resub/buy this game. It is not worth it. The population is on a downward spiral and you will hate yourself for trying/buying/resubbing to AOC.

Personal preferance, and the more you keep posting and making yourself look a fool, the more people will want to disagree with you....Ahhh or is that your tactic, you realy do love the game so you are trying some reverse psychology, nice thinking

 


 

You're right; that is the idea. They want to make the game better. Problem is they don't deliver. During the process of not delivering they lie about it and treat paying customers badly.  This should have been here at release it wasn't and now they say it will be here in a week and it won't.

When I say not to buy the guy or resub to it. That is a personal preferance and im sharing it with others.

There are no improvments made to AoC. Good lord I still visit the forums and laugh my butt off at all the people still there complaining about OOM, Crashes, Gray Map, PvP broke, Classes Broke, Attributes Broke, Broken this and Broken that. I go to my old guild and read that the entire guild quit one month after I left the game. I head to the server discussions on their forum and people are complaing they can't find anyone to group with anymore because most zones are deserted. ROFL game is improving? Only for those that like an MMO without the M. Let's call AoC just plain MO and get over it. This is the last stooge I will game with.

 

Improving...

Thx 

 

 

You’re out of touch if you think nothing has changed with the game. Many improvements have been made, and just about every player concern that’s been QQ about from players has been recognized and being addressed, Just not fast enough for some of the more unreasonable. You can even see a good portion of the new armor models and textures online.


They have listened, they are addressing the issues. The haters are the ones that need to get over it, really, it’s a game.

Please stop the crusade, it makes you look silly.


 

 

 

It's funny this guy can never say what they have done exactly. Just, "Many improvements have been made".

Please, humor me and name some of the "improvements".

I'm not talking about stability either, because that's a given.

Those are some fancy pants Chill_Factor but you do not have a testserver running where people can transfer their characters onto, do you?

If you are not accustomed to eating kiwi, go slow at first.

Nope, it's all tested inhouse by highly trained ex Funcom QA testers.

Seriously guys, this game is going to kill WoW.

It's called "Promises Online"

To funcom and AoC: You burnt me once, fooled me into a CE, I will never re-sub to AoC even if it were the last game  made.

Funcom you have lost a customer for life. Ill never give you a chance to burn me again.

Off-topic....but yeah, reading comments on to an article on TSW in a Norwegian newssite, most of them were saying something like "Won't buy this. Funcom makes it".

On-topic:

I assume the OP is refering to AmazingAvery's many posts lately. Jeez, how can you be mad at him? AA is doing his job as an AoC correspondent (as I understand their job is to bring info on their game to the forums right?). Which is why I never trust anything he says cos its PR and AoC advertising, basically doing Erling Ellingsen's job on this subforum.

RIP Blackguard. May a resurrection come.

Endgame content is still non-existant.

Crafting is still useless, including player structures

Class balance is still terrible

Memory leaks and other hardware issues are still present.

Necromancers are still terribly borked (my pet peeve).

 

FunCom has done nothing to make me believe that they have gained some semblance of a clue about what they are doing. Sure, something have changed, but nothing has really improved -- the core issues are still massive deal-breakers that aren't being addressed.

nothing has changed.  the boards are still filled with people quitting and upset people.  Its not the same people either.  its a new set every few weeks as the other people's accounts expire, and a new one steps up to fill his shoes.

 

To be honest, I think this might be the most childish mmorpg out to date. There is no thought required in the game.
