Latest Blog Entry - RIP AOC, 21 subs cancelled
From my blog PVP Gamer [andreibaru]

I had huge hopes for AOC. Thats all i can say.....Yesterday my entire guild decided that AOC was too much of a fuck-up to play anymore. It actually ruined my whole day at work. So much time invested.. so many dashed hopes.

The truth is.. Funcom is a piece of shit company that never can produce in time to keep subs. AO was a disaster, and it seems they haven't learned anything in the past 4 years or so.

Feel free to flame, but after getting 2 characters to 80.. having nothing to do essentially but PVE raid on a PVP server in a game that was originally supposed to be PVP focused, myself and our 20ish guild members have decided that FUNCOM has miserably failed to provide any sort of worthwhile PVP experience.

On top of this.. the patches every 4 days where they essentially retool entire classes make the game unbearable to play. Everything that had been patched until now was never properly tested.. and should have been in  beta. People will say. blah blah GG you.. goodbye, we dont need you.. or just wait, it will be good in a few months. My response to this is, NO. Just plain NO. PvP systems are being revamped as we speak to make them Karma based and more carebear gear grindish than ever. AOC failed the second it decided that PVE was important enough to start changing classes based on PVE balance. It takes 3 days played to get a char to 80.. in other words.. no one gives a fuck about lvling balance. Killing mass mobs is easy so stop balancing classes b/c of their ability to kill mobs. Balance should have been PvP oreiented which is obviously not the case since almost all balances being made were to chars that they deemed OP in pve. Single target DPS, especially by classes that sucked in PVE were left in tact, bugged as hell. In a PVP game, PVP guilds decide on spec groups in order to roll around together. You cant make spec groups when every four days you have to shit yourself wondering what AOC is going to patch to radically change everything that you do.

GG Funcom. You actually made the game fail with your shitty patches. I can honestly say that if you had left the game as it was when it released... and focused only on adding end game PVP content ( as of now, they've fixed dungeons.. but what have they done with seiges. NOTHING. they added like what 1 NPC. This is after they acknowledged how important PVP is to them in that bullshit letter)

What have i learned?

Never ever ever play a FUNCOM game again. Id rather play crap ass Korean grind games with 0 content that at least focus around PVP.

 

Back to Shadowbane.. and back to waiting for Warhammer.

      Don't think so, you aren't very fair with AoC.

      It's far from Vanguard, really.


       

      I have to disagree with you on this and here is why.  I played Vanguard on a PvE server for over a year.   People claimed it was in bad shape, yet I stayed and played on a PvE server for a year!  I prefer PvP over all other types.   I didn't play Vanguards PvP because it was broke.   Now with that in mind.   Why am I not willing to stick it out in AoC past that first free month in AoC?  Maybe because I know how Vanguard was...and I can compare it to how AoC is now and Vanguard was a way better game at launch than AoC is right now and that is why I stuck with Vanguard as long as I did.   Now if I can deal with the game that was Vanguard for a year and cannot stomache over a month in AoC - I'd say that puts AoC in a very rare catagory for me of being a game that needs tons of TLC and it will be another Vanguard if Funcom doesn't fix it soon.  

      The people in denial about this game will one day wake and realize that it is anotehr Vanguard in the making.


       

      Sorry.. I think AOC sux.. Im no long playing.. yada yada.. but holy fucking christ this post hurts my brain.

      1." Vanguard was a way better game at launch than AoC is right now and that is why I stuck with Vanguard as long as I did."

           Huh? you stuck with Vanguard b/c it was a better game than AOC? The time/space relationship is a bit fucked you think?

       

      2."The people in denial about this game will one day wake and realize that it is anotehr Vanguard in the making."

           Huh? You mean its like Vanguard in that you will stick with it for 1 year like you did Vanguard?

       

      AWWW WTF are you trying to say here lady!?

      What happen to Iraq's WMD, your guess is as good as mine but to say they never had them is stupid."

      Most likely the WMD were sold to Iraq by the US and they felt that it would be better to say there was none rather than to say that they were American.


       

      WoW.. i pop on to the Darkfall forums and find a completely uniformed idiot . /no-surprise

       

      Umm.. its pretty fucking public common knowledge that we gave Irag WMD's to gas the Iranians. It was also pretty known in the intelligence community that Iraq had no more WMD's. In fact.. we listened to them talking about it and we 100% believed them. But thats neither here nor there.  I just like your whole "most likely" hypothesis . Simillar to someone in the year 2008 saying.. "someday we will have these things called TV's"

      I fail about as much as FC fails for trying to make us think they have 700.000 subs.

      /point made

       

      Wow...just wow

      Trust a loser in a forum, or a publically traded company who must release specific data to shareholders and stock markets

      Only YOU /fail


       

      "Due to the amazing interest surrounding the game, more than 700.000 gamers have now signed up for an Age of Conan account. In the second month after release it is also clear that Age of Conan has taken the position as the undisputed #2 subscription MMO in the western world"

       

      Yea.. cus this is specific? Yea... cus this is to shareholders? Go read what FC says to its shareholders you moron. This above is just BAD hype. Trying to connect seamlessly the word subscriptions to 700,000  is poor poor form. I dont fucking see any specific subscription numbers here? do you? But what i do see is them stating that they are undisputed #2 right after posting the figure 700,000 active accts. RED HERRING! Bad Appeal.
