    Praise them for something promised to be in the game at release?

    Praise them for renaming old armor sets and calling them PVP armor?

    Praise them for waiting 4 months for this????

    What have they done in 4 months? 

    HALF Turned on a PVP system that the codes been there since Beta?  Fix a couple of bugs while introducing more than they fix?  Yep that's about it....

    That picture of all the armors laid out from 20-80 still holds true.  You guys say 'YEAH DUDE DURR IT'S REALISTIC"  Then explain to me the 1500 armor sets that didn't look like dog shit they still haven't even put in the game yet?  Just more lies from Funcon.  Do they even exist?  Probably not.

    How has this meager PVP patch done ANYTHING for the PVE aspect of the game?   The Raid instances are still broken, crafting is a disaster, UI is a disaster, Guild structure a disaster.  Many broken and bugged quests still there.  Such a lack of quests and content you're forced to run Villas hundreds of times to level or just grind mobs and be happy?

    It's a hollow shell with just enough BASICS to call it an MMORPG.

    The things that were SUPPOSE to be in the game already still aren't there and have magically disappeared from Funcon's agenda.

    Where's the Mercenary system?  Where's my Drunken brawling?  Where's my DirectX10?  Where's the highly complex PVP system that was suppose to impact stats, ranks, titles, and awesome gear?  Where's the game they advertised I'd love to know.

    The game is dead and will continue to die.  It will die just on word of mouth alone.  Go to anywhere it talks about AOC and it's easy to see Funcon pissed off LOTS of people myself included.  We're pissed and rightfully so.  Bait and switch tactics on hundreds of thousands of gamers is a bad bad move.  Their reputation is SHOT.

    There's nothing they can do to lure anybody back unless they offer free game time which they never will.  They're just too greedy to make any decent decisions.  Every decision they make seems to be based on greed and a mad scramble to keep subscribers at this point.

    They threw together a crappy PVP system to keep a few of the subscribers left.  Yay for them?

    Give credit where it is due.  They don't deserve credit or praise for things that should have been ironed out in BETA.

     

     

    
     

    Spot on.  I applied to have my full review of Age of Conan on mmorpg.com but apparently I was too negative to get it posted.

• • Imabalanced

  • A bit off-topic but I would play a healer on Order if they had one as cool as the DoK. As it stands I won't play dwarves so rune priest is out and the warrior Priest I played in Age of Conan it was called the bear shaman.  That leaves the archmage which my brother plays. 

    Maybe if they add a new one with the expansion I'll play it.

• • Casual Friendly?

  • As you have stated no MMO is ever completely casual friendly due to their nature.  With that said you can in fact log in, que up for a battleground or run to the RVR part of the zone you're standing in and fight it out for XP, PVP-XP (Renown Points they call it), and even drops!  

    This is one of the more casual friendly games out there and I have played a lot of MMOs.  Now in the battlegrounds you could run into a few players in great gear but I'm finding acquiring "good" gear isnt that difficult either.  Renown gear is solid as is Public Quest reward gear. 

    Anyway I'm having a blast in this game and look forward to seeing you online.

• • So after playing mmorpg exclusively for two years I find it hard to play single players games

  • I have the exact same issue.  I liked Oblivion, I thoroughly enjoyed it but the more I played it the more I realized I was getting all these cool skills, powers etc and couldnt use them to pummel an opposing player with them.  I quit playing it because "what was the point".

    Of course I felt similar in LOTRO and Vanguard.  The days of pve only MMOs has gone the way of the do-do bird. 

    Warhammer Online is the first online game I have played in a long time that I can't really find any major issues with.  It has some minor animation issues like how archers fire straight up in the air when a mob is right in front of them and my witch hunter's bullets move too slow through the air; but honestly I havent found a single broken quest, the PQs are excellent and the RVR is very fun.

    So far I give it a 9/10.

• • Server Delays? Anyone else having this?

  • My brother and I run on a pair of dual core systems with 8800 GT cards and 2 gig of ram.  My brother was trying out a bright wizard and called me this morning with his first thoughts.  "The combat is horribly slow compared to Age of Conan".  He said there was a ton to do and the content and rvr was fun but he said the actual combat system seemed to have a massive lag between when he hit the button and the game registered what he was doing. 

    His Quote, "I would wind up a 3 second fireball and it would fly very slow across the screen to the enemy and then when it finally did hit it would delay showing me the damage numbers for a couple seconds." He said the Shadow Warrior is god awful from levels 1-7 too with only getting off maybe 2 shots before having to stand there and spam the one melee button over and over.  He also experienced the server delay on that class.

    I'm trying it for the first time tonight and was curious if anyone else got that too.
