• • New Starting Combat Vid

  • I liked the video.  I hope the game gets a real shot because this genre needs some new blood.  Hopefully they won't launch too close to either WoW xpac or WAR, I honestly think that would be disasterous. 

     

    As far as all the hype mongering above, remember... In mid-2004 EQ2 was going to be the game to end all games.  WoW wasn't really even being talked about.  It wasn't until WoW did their open beta that everyone made the shift.  WoW *is* the exception to almost everything, sure.  But it really didn't have the hype. 

     

    As mentioned above - if you launch a solid, fun game that is content complete and functional, you will almost surely generate hype.

    How would you go about fixing it?  From what I saw, the instances are so small that they needed to make multiple copies just to support the population.  Crappy design?  Yup.  But I don't see a way to fix it at this point.   Maybe in the future they can make bigger zones or something, but at this point they're looking at redesigning the game to fix it.

    Don't get me wrong... I made it to lvl 45 in about 2 weeks and called it quits.  They pissed me off by releasing the framework of a game, not an actual game.  I'll check it out when they get things in order, maybe.

• • Why I'm rapidly losing interest in Age of Conan

  • I anticipated this one for more than a year.  I was as excited as any other person waiting for this game.

     

    My Guardian made it to the 40s until I realized it was the most shallow game I've ever played.  Even the meatier stuff that would have kept me busy (player cities, gathering, crafting, theorycrafting) is either broken or NYI.  So last night I canceled and uninstalled.  Fastest $50 game I ever went through. 

     

    If you like this game, awesome.  I'm glad you found enjoyment out of it.  But I am very disappointed.  To me, Funcom really dropped the ball on getting this world ready.   Hopefully in six months they'll have a great game going for you guys.  I might check back then.  But patching in the game months after you sold us the framework is unacceptable.  Shame on you, Funcom.

• • Number of characters?

  • Nothing has been officially stated, but I've heard 8 characters per account tossed around for nearly a year.  Of course, that's got people pissed because there's 12 classes in game.  But w/e.  It's not in stone yet.

• • Poll: Play AoC or not?

  • I spend $40 a week in gas.  So $50 bucks really doesn't seem like much anymore.  :(  Even if it sucks, it's not like I'm out much.
