• • Well, the official forums are in an uproar

  • And I forgot to mention this gem.  You know it is bad when they can't even get the EULA right.

    To the above poster - Much like Rome, AoC is burning.  But FunCom is spraying petrol on the fire instead of water.

• • Well, the official forums are in an uproar

  • Yeah, another 7 days down and Funcom again shows its knickers to the world.

    Funcom should be royally embarassed and in the trenchs to turn this around.  If they are not, they are bigger fools than I have gauged them to be so far.

• • Even the biggest fanboi can't stand it any longer.

  • Protus is actually a really good guy.  He never slammed anyone (that I remember) and was nice to talk to.  He designed a survey which actually went against the fanboi sentiment and showed people's concerns.  Sure, he supported the game as a work in progress in the beginning. (like myself)

    But seeing what they produced and what they have done to try and rectify it, unless you are blind, you have to see that this product is sub-par.

    Couple that with the viral publicity and word of mouth about all of the issues...

    Yeah this game had it's shot at market penetration and lost it.  As said above, it's a sub-par product released by a sub-par managed company.  Makes me sad...

• • Not Selling

  • I for one, wouldn't bother to reinstall the game unless they did some HUGE sweeping changes with their game to increase replayability and stability issues.

    This will never happen though.  Look at their history of coding and management.  They suck at both.

    And as someone said above, the install itself is enough of a chore for me not to give the game a second chance.  They stuck me for the game and for 2 months.  They wouldn't have got anything from me if I had done my homework on Funcom's past and habits first.

• • Is AoC really that bad?

  • The game simply doesn't work for me, from core performance issues, to core gameplay issues. Itemization that absolutely sucks and makes no difference what so ever.  Random loot table stats that were obviously never QA'ed.  Feats that don't work. Classes that are still broken/borked.  No polished content beyond Tortage, and Tortage being repetitive garbage because EVERYBODY does the SAME EXACT ****, and the night time bull crap garbage makes this game nothing more than a pay to play single player with an AOL chatroom on the screen.  A completely linear and non-explorable world, made even more linear and non explorable by the recent "invisible walls".

    I lasted for 2 months until I was bored senseless.  Add to the above a support staff that isn't capable of tying their shoes. Am I a hater?  Yes, I hate the fact that FunCom is so ****ed up that they released such a half baked product. 

    Look it's not just about missing content, but poor coding and optimization.  Their QA is laughable, their support is equally amusing, and don't get me started on their borked loot tables or broken dungeons for end content. 

    Massive sieges?  More than 20 players and the instance laggs to hell and people are frozen booted/reconnected from the zone continuously.  Massive my a**.  I don't think they could have made this much worse if they had tried. 

    This looks like a product with good intentions but poor execution due to a company being disorganized and not holding people accountable.  This is the second game I have watched them make a mess of.  Gaute screwed the pooch on this one and wasted a chance to capture a big portion of the market. 

    Yes again, I am pissed about it.  This had the potential to be greatness, but they ruined it.  Baah, sorry guys.  Wasting my breath here I am sure.  But I just needed to vent after I uninstalled the game tonight.
