• • Age of Conan framerate?

  • Spec is good but lets be realistic, your graphics card sucks, and that plays a huge role in framerates and flow of the game.

    I'm sure you will be able to play it if you tone the graphics way down but it is a pretty good restraint for performance.

• • what the early reviews say

  • AoC doesnt require a super computer, any decent computer will run it but some people have 5 year old computers, im sorry but you should know better than to buy a next gen game for your PC.

    The thing is Funcom thought of it in the long run, people constantly update their PCs and now you could buy a fairly cheap computer that would run AoC with no problem, mabye not with everything maxed out but it will still run it fine.

    I know my friends have decent computers and their game play is fine. I for one am glad that theres an mmo out there with pretty decent graphics, not because my computer can handle it but because it looks good, and is fun.

    Lets take wow a very sucessful MMO which has raised the bar for mmos and that is a good thing even though there are alot of unhappy players and burned out MMOers. When wow first came out it didnt have much to offer at all and now years later theres a lot to do.

    WoW had a lot to do and was well done from Day 1 as I said earlier. All these comments saying that WoW was total S*** at the start, are far off the mark and have no idea what was actually "wrong". You can bet that WoW most certainly had banks, mail, and an auction house from the start. It also lacked the SEVERE IMBALANCES in AoC where a class can be two shot by another that is far beneath them in levels.
    
    I could go on.

    I could be wrong but I remember Druids being useless crap even 6 months after launch?

    And warriors were broken, and rogues were extreamly overpowered in pvp 2 shotting all cloth classes.

    Fixing class imbalances takes time and it isnt something you can realease in one update.

  • Very good, and well thought out post OP, you just nailed it, way to expose all the negative nancies. I would say that for just being out on the market for only a few days, AoC is a pretty good and fun game, and has a lot of potential.

    People dont realize that in reality when MMOs first come out they are still similar to beta, players give suggestions about what they want and the designers try to impliment them to the game in whatever ways thay can.

    Lets take wow a very sucessful MMO which has raised the bar for mmos and that is a good thing even though there are alot of unhappy players and burned out MMOers. When wow first came out it didnt have much to offer at all and now years later theres a lot to do.

    As far as a lot of this game being instanced I dont see why people are complaining so much about this, to have a world that looks so good it is hard to believe that they could make it all one huge world with no instances, you would have to have a computer that only few can afford. It takes less than 5 seconds for the screen to load, u put months into grinding and a coupple of loading screens bother you?

    Last but not least the people who rush to lvl to cap are the ones with the most complains, well thats reasonable, dont lvl like its your job, but take your time and enjoy what you're doing instead of just grabbing quests and opening the world map to find their location.
