• • AOC like a relationship you've ever had?

  • Dude, you should be a professional writer, and unless you are one - you are definitely missing your true calling!

     

    Overall, I think we've become very spoiled...  I remember the days of Diablo numero uno, how we actually used our imagination and sometimes wit to make the best of the very very few we had...  But I digress.

     

    Great writing, I enjoyed it.  And I definitely will steer clear of Age of Conan from now on, because I actually felt the pain you've injected into this post without even having tried the game.

• • Why I Did Not Like This Game

  • I made it to level 43 with three different characters (all Bellatio).

    I quit the game and erased it from my PC after, for the millionth time, a gang of 30 or so level 40+ bells spent close to 15 minutes pounding on a level 50 Accretian, who in the end simply force-logged.  Bullshit.

    Pot-hacking, exclusively equipment-based, and forever-grinding game, where 6 or so level difference at higher levels means that the higher level WILL WIN.  Forget skill, forget all that happy crap!  This game is about achieving the highest level possible and then simply running around and killing everybody lower level than you for kill points.

     You do enjoy the sky-rocketing experience while leveling to about level 25.  After that - grindfest.  Mobs that give any kind of meaningful experience are for the most part located off-mainland, so you have to spend lots of hard earned cash on travel.  Once you get there - nine chances out of ten some high level people are simply waiting for you at the gates to gank you.  And, of course, you won't be able to do anything about it.  So...  you log off to play with your other character if that one is lucky enough to get exp on mainland.  You log back on to level up the higher level one - yay!  The gankers are gone!  And the grind fest begins...  The more (expensive) health potions you have, the more mobs you can handle.  Until you get ganked by a by-passing high level who is not worried about aggro from high level mobs surrounding your little camp area.

    Forget this, plenty more games to occupy my free time with!!!
