    Allrighty, so after reading about the so called "miracle patch" today here on mmorpg.com, i decided to give closed beta one more shot.  It indeed seems to have cut back the loading times drasticly, i never had to wait more then 20 or 30 seconds!   Unfortunately, i'm still having low framerates in the wilds and 5 fps slideshows in Tortage.  Global chat was full of talk about performance issues, so i asked around what i could do -after this patch- to increase my fps. One guy replied me by saying i had to delete the cache files in my conan folder. I decided to make  a screenshot of his instructions, but when i pressed the button... the game locked up and started repeating the last frame over and over again?!  Since i could not ctrl-alt-del or alt+tab out of it, i had to switch the power off/on.  After being logged in again and clicking on my character to enter the game, it gave me the "client of wrong version" error?!  

    At that moment, i laughed out loud and just deleted it again from my pc.

    My system: Pentium DC 2.8 Gig, 2048MB ram, geforce 8800GT 512 MB alpha dog,  windows XP.

    
    I bet all the game developers Hope to some day have a beta tester as skilled and wise as you....... tool.

     

     

    I suppose reporting your crashes and issues would of been too much trouble for a kid like you to handle, oh well. Maybe someday you'll realize closed beta isn't there for your simple enjoyment, I doubt it though.

     

     

    Hey, i've been in many betas before (TR, LOTRO, PW, G&H, etc,etc) and you can bet your ass that i've seen my fair share of in-game reporting tools.  As for reporting bugs in Age of Conan, i admit... never did it. If it is bugreporting they want, they should at least make sure the client is actually playable enough for me to progress and encounter them.  Or do you really expect me to hitch & glitch around with a whopping 7 - 20 frames p/s for hours, days or even weeks? Get real man... only a fool would subject himself to such torture!  When it comes to selecting Beta players, i think developers should pay more attention as to who they are inviting. I'd much rather NOT get an invite for a game i can't play annyway, so that someone who CAN play it might be of actual help when it comes to reporting bugs!

    When a person is saying (pay attention fanbois) he only played for about 15 minutes or so due to bad performance,  that doesnt neccesarily mean he thinks the game sucks. It simply means the game was too much to handle for his pc! As a matter of fact, all those who gave up on Conan before lvl 13 because of bad performance and are saying it sucks (pay attention haters) are fools since they didnt even get the chance to really experience it in the first place!  My pc clearly could not handle this game, and considering the fact we're all here to share our individual experiences on this forum, i posted mine.... without saying that it sucked.  Because afterall, i did not get to experience the contents of the game!

    Age of Conan is the first 3th generation mmorpg so all this performance drama was to be expected.

    I predicted this a long time ago: www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/post/1501034#1501034

    People with high-end machines are more likely to enjoy this game then those without the high-end rigs and the performance gaps between them will be BIG. More so with Age of Conan then with any other previously released games. It all comes down to acknowledging this simple fact, and live with it. It's an understanding that must come from both ways.

    If i were the man in charge at Funcom right now, i would make it plain and simple: You'd better have a kick-ass pc or you wont enjoy this game, period.  It would make things much clearer for people and it would minimalize the negative feedback regarding performance on all these forums, giving Age of Conan the oppertunity to steadily grow as time passes by.

    For what it's worth, i think AoC is going to be a succesfull game with a healthy following that will only increase in due time.  I will be sure to check it out in about a year or so, when i have a new pc.

    And as for those insults you threw at me, i'll just refer you to my avatar. Have a nice day, buddy.

• • Lets reveal the truth about the performance issue

  • Pentium DC 2.8 Gig, 2048 MB ram,  8800GT  512 MB and Win XP.  The performance on my pc was truly horrible, in the wilds i was playing with a steady 30 fps. In Tortage city however, i was hitching around with a whopping 7 frames per second on low/medium settings.  I asked in general chat if others were having the same issue,  and a lot of people told me they did.

• • Fallen Earth > AOC & WAR?

  • Good point Zorvan, but do you think it really matters that much?   Take World of Warcraft for example, it attracted a whole bunch of people who never even heard about the genre until then. Imagine wow, with the exact same graphics, same gameplay and same functionalities within a sci-fi setting... i strongly believe it would not have made the slightest difference and would be just as successful. Besides, If the juggernaught mmo's turn out to be not so great after all, do you really think people will just walk away from the entire scene and never look back because the best alternative is sci-fi? Nah, most of them will simply be looking for something that looks good, functions good and is fun and challenging regardless of its setting.  It might even contribute to a greater feeling of  "something new and refreshing" so many people within this community are so obsessed about. 

    Of course, i'm sure there are people who will only settle for fantasy. But from a general perspective, i dont think it matters that much tbh.
