    AOC was the worse launch on MMO history

    What most dont realise or dont wanne admit is, where still as retail players BETA TESTING AoC, for all the new and prolly bigger group of console players, game is developed with console in mind not pc gamer.

     

    I've willingly payed retail for a Beta.  It was the first 2 years or so of SWG and it was the best gaming experience ever.

    just saying.

    if this is true,then it really sux,and its kinda weird that this board aint thread spammed with cons of aoc

    it is simply not possible to have an open, zone-free world with the level of graphics that AoC has. Impossible.

     

    Anyone with a realistic understanding of PC limitations knows this.

    The graphic quality of AoC has to be seen to be believed....it's beyond amazing. You can't have 2000+ people in one starting area and have it be playable. It's just not realistically feasable.

    
    I think thats a copout excuse to save funcom some money. I bet it could be done.

     

    Star Wars Galaxies when it launched had state of the art graphics. Definitely it was the best for its time 5 years ago. And we didnt have to settle for loading screens when we entered someone's house or a cantina. And we certainly didnt have to choose a zone when entering a dungeon / cave area.

    If a game 5 years ago could do it with the best graphics back then, surely funcom can do it now.

    When SWG came out it ran for shit,  People crashed when nearing towns, and there were not even houses yet.  Fixes were made over time even as it became more processor intensive.  And it possibly could be done but not without alienating over 60% of the potential player base with older/ slower computers.

     

    They made a choice, and that choice was for the game to be pretty, cause that is what almost everyone talks about, the graphics.  Often mentioned even before gameplay, because apparently most folks would rather stare at virtual rivers and vistas than do just about anything else.

    edit.  Also SWG was massive, massively empty. Tons of playable are with very little variation in landscape, and almost no foliage.  If AoC's zone were as barren as SWG's there would be NO problem.   Things like dynamic lighting effects, shadows, and realistic water effects are graphics and processors hogs, way more so than any effects used for SWG.  They are different beasts entirely.

    don't really care how many trolls start negative topics.

    sensible peeps will make up their own minds and sensible peeps is all we need ingame :)

     

     

     

    99% of your so called "trolls" is youre buddies who been waiting for an opportunity to test the game out.

    Theyre upset of Conans bad shape and is simply informing the ones that isnt in beta about the poor quality of the game. How you can see these guys as trolls is above me?

    Rofl. you think those threads are informative.

    No.       They probably have their reasons.         Stop making these threads.

     I bet you are right. They want to start off with a crap reputaion on purpose so they can all go collect unemployment when the game falls on it's butt.

     

    
    That would beat the heck out of releasing the smooth client  and having to count all that smelly old money that would roll in.

    Yep, that would be a reason.  I hope that is not the reason, though I won't put it past them.

    Also there are OB screen shots on the main page.
