• • AoC New Content video

  • It's really funny how some people see a video and an interview and completely forget all the issues that Funcom and Age of Conan have had over the last 3 months.

     

    That's marketing hype at it's best. Show some nice graphics, show some "new" features, and people will buy anything.

    Forgotten are the bugs, crashes, none delivered content, heavy instancing, low population (and no server merges), crappy PvP, flawed sieging and broken (as well as boring) high end content.

    As long as enough people can make up their mind about buying a game, simply by watching a video that comes from a game show (which means the content shown has been specifically selected, rehearsed and filtered), there will always be MMOs that are successfull regardless of how bad they are.

• • Why AoC failed according to a Ex-Funcom employee

  • i have actually just re-opened my VG account. The game is very solid, but that has never really been the problem in my opinion.

     

    the game world is still too large and empty. respawn times (particular in lower areas) are insane and out of proportion and you are forced to group from day 2 really if you want to progress - the problem is thought that the population level is very low (even with only 4 EU servers - 1 of them being PvP).

     

    I don't think i'll be subscribing beyond the month i just paid for again.

    And a year later, even with very high end PC gear, it still looks a bit shit :(

    Having said that i do think crafting and diplomacy is very good and innovative. If it was free to play i might keep subscribed for a few hours here and there simply for the diplomacy and crafting bit.

    Avery goes to a whole other level when it comes to fanboism.  There is actually no other liar amongst fanbois like him.

     

    I don't think Avery is lying. I honestly think he believes everything he is saying. He just has a more positive outlook and sees things through different glasses than the rest of the world (when it comes to AoC).

     

    Calling him a liar won't help, in fact i don't think anything will help. 10 years down the road he will still think that AoC is the dogs bollocks and the best game in the universe.
